Kendall's POV:

I woke up the next day a little bit before 1:00 PM. Trust Rylan to still be knocked out in my bed next to me. Once I sat up I looked around at my room on the ground for the other girls where they slept. All I saw were their blankets waded up, proving that they have obviously slept there the previous night to be supportive towards me. It was comforting knowing that I haven't known these girls that long, and they are there for me just as much as Rylan is.

I carefully got out of the sheets and instantly felt a head ache hit me. I couldn't tell if it was from the drinking or from me crying so much before I fell asleep. Whatever it was, I decided to get into the shower to try to wash it away and relax me. I laid out a pair of just plain black leggings and a huge cream, comfy sweater. Perfecto.

Once I got out I changed into my clothes and brushed my hair, then wrapping it in the towel for it to dry a bit. After I did that, I put moisturizer on my face and decided I didn't need to go any further with making myself look "presentable". It's not like I'm trying to impress anyone, but I always want to at least look alive. I took one last look in the mirror while I was putting my tooth brush away and was relieved when I saw that the puffy and redness started to go away from the crying from lastnight.

I walked into my room from my bathroom and sat on my bed feeling fresh and 75% better than I did before. that 25% needed to be filled on knowing what happened after I went to bed.

I looked over at Rylan who was laying in the same place, now on her phone. I assumed it was twitter she was on.

"Ry..." I said quietly breaking the silence between her and I in my bedroom.

"Hi babe... How ya feelin'?" She asked me, her voice and face showing nothing but sympathy.

"Better I guess.. I just can't get the image of him being hit to the ground and then beaten to death out of my head. I understand they were all drinking and that when he gets drunk he becomes ... violent. But I just don't get why it had to go to that extreme of a measure." I said thinking about how Harry was doing.

Rylan let out a sigh before sitting up to face me.

"It was all because of what happened with Shae, remember? Plus it's because you're Niall's sister and that just automatically makes him and the others more protective over you, especially right when they get you, ya know?" She said to me nicely. I nodded looking down at my hands that were being held by Rylan's own.

"Also, I apologize for bringing it up, but like they even made clear them selves last night. You're a virgin. You would have been like, killed or something. He's a different person in the sheets when he drinks." Rylan said again but with more humor than before to try to lighten the mood on the serious subject. I smiled and nodded again, understanding and thanking her. I leaned in to give her a hug.

"Thanks Ry. Love you." I said into her ear.

"AW! Love you too girl. Now, wanna go see what everyone else is up to...?" She said almost nervous for me. I nodded and got off the bed, and took my hair out the towel. It was now still wet, but not dripping like before.
