The Fault in our Bands~Book One

Chapter 5- Alex and Niall

Ever since that night that Niall and I fell asleep in the grass at that party, we've been really close. Not as close as Michael and I, but we're getting there. I have a feeling Niall may like me back. I want too tell him..but I don't really know how.

I've never actually asked a guy out. I've only had one boyfriend in my life and that was Luke, and he asked me out. I want too see if Niall likes me, and if there is any other way too find out if someone likes you other than asking them out or straight foward asking if they like you, please tell me.

Today, I hung out with Niall while the other boys went too get food. I'm not the kind too shop with the boys and Niall decided I shouldn't be left alone. We ended up watching Nemo. Yeah. We watched a kid movie. Don't judge us. Then we ended up eating cold pizza and watching youtube.

By the time the boys got back, we had watched Nemo, watched youtube for about an hour, raced through the house, AND had a water balloon fight outside because we are so mature.

When the boys finally got back we were cuddling on the couch watching some sport on T.V. and talking about random stuff.

That's when I remembered how over protective Michael was of me when it came too boys. When Niall and I ended up cuddling that night of the party we ended up waking up before Michael could see. Right now though, Michael was the first one inside and was looking at Niall like he just killed me.

"Niall...what the hell are you doing!?" Michael asked.

Michael set down the bags he had in his hand and came over, moving me over. I looked at Niall with a scared look on my face. The last time this happened Luke ended up with a broken nose and a black eye.

Michael pulled Niall up by his shirt and threw him into the wall. I looked too Luke who nodded and started going over too the two boys. Michael was yelling at Niall now. I was confused and I could tell Niall was too. We were barely even doing anything. I had my head on his shoulder and his arm was around my waist. It's not like we were kissing or something.

Then, right as Luke got over there, Michael swung hitting Niall straight in the jaw. I screamed as Niall held his jaw, tears already rolling down his cheeks. I tried too run over there but Louis and Ash held me back.

I tried pulling out of their grasp but they were too strong. I called Michael's name, trying too get him too stop. He had hit Niall multiple times. Once in the jaw, twice in the stomach and once in the nose. Niall's nose was bleeding and he was on the ground, tears running down his cheek. Louis and Ashton finally let me go, and I ran over too Niall, pushing Michael out of the way.

"Alex! Wa-" Michael started.

"No Michael. Not right now." I said grabbing a wash cloth and holding it on Niall's nose too hopefully stop the bleeding. Niall was passed out. Luke called an ambulance and Louis helped me lay Niall on the couch.

Once the ambulance got here, I went with Niall in the ambulances. He was still passed out. I held his hand while the doctors checked him out. His nose was broken and his jaw was in bad condition but not broken.

The doctors took Niall too a hospital room, hooking multiple wires onto him, getting the heart monitor set up, and I left the room. I couldn't take it anymore. It reminded me too much of when I was in the hospital. The doctor said I could invite any other visitors that need or want too come. So I called Ashton's phone and he brought the boys. When Michael saw what he did he ran. Luke went after him.

I was only worried about Niall at the moment though. Michael had hurt him pretty bad. I went back into his room and sat by him. Quietly singing little things to myself.

I smiled when I saw his blue eyes open. The doctor said he wouldn't be able too talk for a couple days but I was just happy he was awake.

I hugged the Irish boy and cried happy tears. You never know hard it is too almost lose someone until it happens to you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ever since Alex and I fell asleep in the grass that night at the party we've been really close and I love it. I also love Alex. I have a hopeful feeling she loves me too. But we're only best friends. Who falls in love with their best friend!? Even if she does like me I wouldn't know. Alex tends too hide her feelings too the point where not even Michael can figure it out.

Today we decided we needed to go shopping. Alex said she would stay back, so I decided I'd stay with here. I don't care if she's 18. I hung out with her and we watched Nemo, youtube, and had a water balloon fight.

Then once we finished that we put some sports show on and talked about random stuff. Alex had her head on my shoulder and I had my arm around her waist.

Then Michael came in. He saw us, and I swear to god, fire lit up in his eyes. He set down the bags he was holding and came towards us.

"Niall..what the hell are you doing?" Michael asked, moving Alex over.

Alex looked up at Luke with a worried look. Luke just nodded at her. Then Michael picked me up by the shirt and threw me too the wall. Luke looked at Alex and started walking towards me and Michael, who was now yelling at me.

Just as Luke got over here, Michael punched me. Straight in the jaw. It hurt like hell. I used all my strength not to scream but I let the tears fall. I heard Alex scream. I watched Alex try too run here but get caught by Louis and Ashton.

Alex kept trying too pull out of the boys grasp but they were too strong for her. She kept yelling Michael's name, telling him too stop and she was crying more than me and all I wanted too do was hug her but I couldn't. Michael hit me in the nose and then in the stomach. I passed out.

I felt myself being lifted and they set on something soft. I felt something wet on my nose, and then me being lifted again. I felt my pulse being checked and my heartbeat. I felt Alex's soft hand in mine.

I then felt myself being lifted again then set on something for a minute or two before lifted one last time and set down. I felt an IV being put into my wrist and one of those things they put on your fingers for the heart monitor.

I heard Alex come in and then I heard her run off. I didn't understand why soon I heard Ashton, Louis, Luke, and Liam. I heard Michael also but then he ran off too. Luke went after him.

Alex came back in and sat by my bed. I heard her singing little things too herself and I looked up at her.

She looked down and smiled, hugging me. I couldn't talk because of my jaw and she seemed too know that.

You don't know how hard it is too worry about saying Goodbye too someone you love until you get put into a situation where it may be forever.
