Keeping Secrets {Sequel To Mr. Styles}

Chapter 6

Lexi's POV:

I was so...ugh, mad. I mean, Kate thinks that everything she does is alright, even if that is dating a man who is way too old for her.

I'm only trying to help her, watch out for Kate, because I love her and she's been my best friend for so long, I can only speak up for Caleb, Dylan, Jessie, Jenni and I.

"Lexi, please," Niall said. I looked over at him to see him cringing and I noticed that I was squeezing his hand.

"I'm sorry." I let go and dropped my hand in my lap and released a deep breath.

"If Kate doesn't appreciate your attempt at caring for her, she doesn't deserve you."

"You're only saying that because you're my boyfriend." Niall shrugged, smiling and denying his reason in saying that.

Niall drove me home but by then, I was raging. My best friend totally gave up our friendship over a guy.

"Lexi!" Niall continued to call after me as I stormed into my house, right past my dad who sat up startled from the couch.

"Lexi?" He called.

I walked up to my bedroom not expecting either of them to follow me, but before I could slam my door, I heard my dad yell, "What did you do to her this time?"

I groaned and walked back out.

"Back off Niall. He didn't do anything." I said from the top of the stairs.

"What's wrong?" He asked. Niall stood there awkwardly, out of the way, as my father, a police man, asked me what could've possibly upset me this time.

"Um," I can't lie to him. "Kate threw away our friendship over a guy." That's all I say.

But Niall scuffed and rubbed his arm, muttering something I couldn't hear, but my dad seem to hear whatever it was that he said.

"What was that?" He turned to Niall whose eyes were now enlarged as he shook his head and stuttered.

"N-nothing sir."

"Son, if I heard you correctly somebody is in huge trouble."

My heartbeat picked up as my eyes met Niall, I am not denying or even replying to what my dad was implying.

"Where is she now?"

Neither of us answered.

"In the morning," my dad groaned, anger clearly present, "we are talking about this." He looked at Niall and then to me, my boyfriend scared as he continued to look me in the eye. He knew what he said is going to be the reason Kate and Styles will be caught. "Go home Niall."

He nodded, trying to give me a glance and walk out, but he didn't because I stopped him and kissed his cheek. This isn't his fault, knowing knowing him, he thinks it is.

My dad groaned and walked away.

"I-I love you, Niall."

"I love you too." He muttered and packed my lips, then walked out of the door after forcing me to let him go.
