Michael's P.O.V

Nikki was still checking her phone every so often, I knew that she was worrying about her parents. The rest of the boys had gone downstairs into my gaming room.

"Babe, stop checking, their cell phone probably died. Come down stairs please?" I asked, holding my hand out. She smiled and grabbed onto my hand as we both went downstairs.

"Hey Nikki! Wanna play COD?" Ashton asked, holding out a controller. She nodded and started up a game with him.

I took my seat next to Luke, Calum was playing with the basketball hoop in the corner. I watched as Nikki killed off all the surrounding zombies. I noticed how she stuck her tongue out, in frustration.

I played with my bracelets, my old worn out ones which covered what I haven't been able to do since the band took off. Nikki's laugh rang out as Ashton attacked her on the couch.
I knew Ashton was like a brother to her, she didn't have any other siblings, but I couldn't help feel jealous.

"Hey Mikey why the pout?" Nikki asked, breaking out of Ashton's arms. I smiled and wrapped mine around her waist.

"No reason." I said. She giggled and nuzzled her head into my shoulders, while I started a new game with Luke.

Nikki's phone rang and she went out of the room to answer it.
I looked over at Ashton, who ran out of the room to meet with her.

I could hear crying from the hallway and I threw down my remote and bolted into the hallway.

"T-their gone. The plane got hijacked." Nikki said, crying into Ashton's arms. "Their never coming home."

My heart sunk at her words, and I went to hug her. She didn't let go of Ashton, but let me hug her.

Nikki wiped off her tears and let go of Ashton and attached herself to me.

"Alright guys, everyone out." I said, rubbing her back.

After they were all gone, I tucked Nikki into my bed, and went down to get her some tea and cookies. When I came up, she was looking at Twitter. I saw her face get even more sad as she read through all the hate.

"Little orphan Annie"
"Nikki is so ugly, I bet her parents didn't even care that they left her all alone"
"Just kill yourself"

"Nikki, you don't need to read that." I said, powering off her phone and putting it in the bedside table.

She curled up into my side as I played with her hair.

"You know none of that's true right?" I said.
She shrugged, "I have no one"

" You have me. And you have the rest of the boys." I said, fiddling with my bracelets.
She smiled sadly, pulling my sweater near her.

"Mikey what are those for?" She said, pointing to my bracelets.

I paused, unsure if I should tell her. She looked at me with her sad, wet eyes.

I let out a sigh, it was now or never.

"When I was younger, my father left us. My mother always blamed me for the divorce, saying I was the mistake. If it wasn't for me, they would still be together. She used to throw things at me, like lamps. So I resorted to a simpler way to deal with the pain, cutting. When my mom found out, she threw me out on the streets, I was thirteen. I haven't seen her since, that night." I finished, looking at Nikki.

She looked at me for a few moments before slowly removing the bracelets. I bite my lip, not wanting her to see my past mistakes.

"How long?" She asked.

"Six weeks." I responded.

She smiled and ran her fingers over the fading scars. A shiver went down my spine as she kissed each and every one of them.

"Please try for me? If you ever feel like harming yourself, tell me. I do not want to get a call in the middle of the night, saying they found your body on the floor of a nightclub. Please promise me." She said.

"I promise."

I woke up around 3 am, to my phone ringing. I quickly removed myself from Nikki's grasp.

"'Ello?" I said, still half asleep.
The next few words got me fully awake.

"Dude, check out Twitter. Louis from One Direction? HE TWEETED OUT A LINK TO OUR YOUTUBE AND WE ARE GOING TO BE THEIR OPENING ACT ON TOUR! WE MADE IT!" Calum screamed from the other line.

I quickly went on Twitter, to see tons of tweets and followers. I felt two arms wrap around me. I smiled up at Nikki and kissed her knuckles.

"We made it."

She smiled, and pecked my cheek.

"I knew you would babe, I am so proud of you, your parents would be so proud." Nikki said, sitting next to me.

"You think? My mom always said music was a waste of time, that I was better off playing a real activity." I said.

Nikki nodded and put her head in my shoulder.

"I know so." She whispered.

"I'm not going anywhere you know that right? I will bring you on tour with us, and I will always come home to you." I said, reassuring myself and her.

She looked at me with wet eyes, " Don't promise anything that big right now. There are so many girls out there, things may change in a year."

I bit my lip, " Yes, but it will always be you. I love you and that will never change."

She smiled and nuzzled into my side as I carried her back to bed.

" You should reach out to her, just send a letter telling her what's happening." Nikki slurred, half asleep.

I smiled a bit at her words and snuggled into her.
