Chapter 13: The News

Chapter 13

Kira's POV

"Liam tell me,"

"No,"

"Please-"

"No,"

I groan and throw my hands up in the air. "But Harry told me to ask you!"

He raises his eyebrows. "Oh did he now?"

"Just forget it," I growl, burying my nose in my study sheet. Why couldn't Harry just tell me all this himself? If it's such a large secret then why would he even mention it? I doubt that it involves Zayn, Louis or Liam due to their normality towards me. But Niall on the other hand has grown wary of us and has pulled away from our group along with Jaclyn. Well Jaclyn has a reason but I don't recall doing anything wrong with Niall. If there was something I said I would apologize and hopefully mend our friendship. "It has something to do with Niall doesn't it? Or Jaclyn?"

Liam tenses up, which basically answers the question for me.

"It's Niall," I swallow.

Liam nods painfully.

"What happened?" I bribe.

"Harry found out," Liam begins. "He saw Niall go towards the ravine at the beginning of lunch and followed him in there. He was going to meet Rebecca and her...people. And well yeah, she cut him across the-"

"Cheek," I interrupt. "She cut him across the cheek,"

"Yeah. His...cheek," he gives me a funny look. "And erm, she did other things as well. But Harry over heard that she was using Niall to get to something, or someone. It was to get rid of-" he stops.

I squint my eyes cautiously. "Of?"

"Of a person," he continues, his eyes avoiding mine.

"A...person," I narrow my eyes. "Do we know this person Liam?"

"Look Kira," he cuts in quickly. "I told you what I know,"

I sigh and flip my phone open. My first instinct is to text Louis to complain but instead I text Zayn. Perhaps he knows.

Hey quiffy, come to the stairwell.

I lock my phone and set in comfortably in my pocket. Liam eyes me cautiously.

"They don't know more than I do," he rolls his eyes before turning back to his work. "Harry told us all at once,"

Screw him and his smartness.

Maybe when Zayn gets over here he can explain the missing parts to me. Especially since Liam seems to be so unwilling to do so. But the words that Niall told me in this very spot are still replaying in my mind.

"I want to let you know Kira that it's not on purpose. I didn't really want to do it but that only way I was going to get some respect and be regarded as a person around here was to join. I'm so sorry Kira...I want you to know, again, that I don't want to hurt anybody,"

This must be what he meant. He must've joined because he felt like...a nobody. Like I did around Alex and everyone else in my old school. If only I knew. If only he told me he was going to do this I would've stopped him. Niall is too good for them. Niall should've known...

My thoughts are interrupted when the door shoots open revealing Zayn, looking serious. I flinch.

"Kira," he sticks his finger out and twitches it back several times, beckoning me over. "C'mere,"

I get up slowly and make eye contact with Liam who's staring in confusion. "Uh...Zayn?"

He grabs my arm tightly and drags me outside the stairwell. I resist the whole time, but obviously I'm too weak.
