The Gang // AU One Direction

Chapter 5

I woke up when a loud blast of music blared through my ears. I yawned but immediately regretted it suddenly remembering the injuries I have acquired. I sat up in my bed and held my ears trying to block out the loud noise. I ran out of my room and into the kitchen where I found Harry in boxers singing into a spatula as he made pancakes. My jaw dropped as he sang the chorus to 'Old Time Rock N' Roll' while shaking his ass. I'm not really sure how long I stood there and watched him before someone else walked in and shut off the music.

"Harry you do realize Calli was watching you this whole time right?" Niall laughed. Harry turned around and grinned at me.

"Enjoy the show?" He joked and I rolled my eyes holding back a laugh. Now that was a way to wake up.

"Is Jenna still sleeping?" I asked my question forwarded to Harry but I found myself looking at Niall. I could tell he was looking at the bruises on my face. I suddenly wished I hadn't even come out of my room.

"She's in the shower." He said his back still facing us. He turned and brought a plate of pancakes to the table. I was scared to see Jenna after yesterday.

"What time did you two get back?" Niall asked the boy wearing no pants.

"About three in the morning." He sat down and shook out his curly hair. He then turned his attention towards me. "Calli are you gonna sit down and eat?"

"I'm going to get changed first." I said walking backwards. Before I completely turned around Niall called my name.

"You don't have to change first. Please don't." He smirked and I blushed seeing as I was wearing super short yoga shorts and a tanktop. Now I was definately changing.

When I was done changing, I headed towards the bathroom. I stopped when my brother walked out of his room and almost ran into me.

"Sorry Liam." I tried to go passed him but his eyes widened and he pulled my arm to put me in front of him.

"What the hell happened to your face?" He asked his voice raised. Oh my god I totally forgot about that. I went to bed before Liam got home and I guess Niall wasn't up to the idea of telling him his sister got beat up by one of his friends. He left me to do it. Thanks alot Niall.

"Uh... I ran into a pole." I lied but me being the terrible liar I am, of course he didn't believe me. He grabbed my arm and pulled me into the kitchen. Harry and Niall were still eating.

"Who did this to her?" He asked them and they both were stumped. Neither of them could speak. "Can someone answer me please?"

"Well... There was an incident yesterday." Niall started.

"And Calli was messing with the wrong person." Harry continued.

"Just tell me." Liam ordered annoyed.

"Jenna." Niall said. Harry's eyes focused in on something else.

"What?" A voice came from behind us. Liam turned around and Harry jumped out of his chair. Liam had Jenna pinned to the wall in an instant.

"What the fuck is wrong with you!?" He screamed at her. Harry jumped in the middle of them trying to calm every one down.

"What's wrong with me? Your sister is a spoiled brat. I hate her." Jenna calmly stated with a smile.

"Jenna stop." Harry glared at her.

"You're more spoiled than she will ever be! She doesn't get to do half the stuff you get to do! She doesn't have anyone to talk to when she is alone! She doesn't get everything she wants when she wants it! If you think her life is easy then you're fucked up!" He screamed at her. I just wanted to leave this place.

"Liam. Calm down man." Niall said from next to me.

"Yeah Liam calm down." Jenna laughed. Harry glared at her again.

"Don't ever touch my sister again." He said and walked back into his room. Jenna shrugged it off and sat down to eat. Niall was watching me. I decided to just do what I was doing before this. Get ready for school. Ugh thank God it's Friday.

Third period just ended and I was getting ready to go to lunch. I had earned many looks today because of my face. It was weird. Usually I'm ignored but today it was like everyone was staring at me. I didn't like it. I hadn't seen Niall all day since we left the house. I wish he was here so I could talk to someone. Especially with all this unwanted attention.

I was putting my English journal in my bag when two guys and a girl walked up to me. I knew they were part of the popular group by there clothes. Why were they here?

"Um... Can I help you?" I asked.

"What happened to your face?" One of the guys asked. I rolled my eyes and tried to ignore them.

"I think it's obvious. Her daddy was drinking again." The girl laughed. I shut my locker and turned around.

"Where did you hear that?" I questioned.

"Oh please. You come to school with bruises on your arms. Your dad is the town drunk. Sweetie you can't hide it anymore." She said coldly. I started to tear up.

"Oh look she's crying." One of the boys pretended to be sympathetic.

"Please go away." I wasn't sad as much as I was angry. I hate it when people talk about my family negatively. Even though my dad isn't my favorite person in the world, he was still a person and I cared about him.

"She looks mad." The girl laughed. I was balling up my fists.

"She's getting angry. Maybe she is just like her dad. Oh no Jason! She's gonna hit me." The boy in the middle mocked. That was it. In a second my fist went from my side to the boys nose. He stumbled backwards and held his nose in pain. "She fucking hit me!"

Everyone around us stopped and stared. I just punched him...

"Run." Someone told me and grabbed my arm. Niall was leading me through all the people in the halls. He pushed open the door and adjusted his hand to fit in mine. We were running past the nice homes and pretty soon we were on our side of town. He turned and led me through an alley and then turned again into a small opening. He let my hand go and I leaned against the brick wall out of breath. He turned around to face me and then in one swift motion he took my face between his hands and pressed his lips to mine. They were rough but gentle at the same time. His lips moved against mine slowly and my whole body was frozen, in shock of what was happening.

He pulled away and looked into my shocked eyes. I fluttered them shut and leaned in to kiss him again. It was just as perfect as the first time
