Punk Niall Series

"You See One Another After The Break Up"

"Please love, please come!" Louis' girlfriend pleads on the other side of the phone and you sigh. A year ago, had someone told you that you'd be friends with Louis Tomlinson and his girlfriend, you probably would've reported them. Yet, here you are fielding their pleading requests for you to attend the signing of Harry Styles' record release party. The newest addition to Harry's label had skyrocketed and Harry was throwing a huge celebration for the young mans success. "You know Niall will be there and I really don't want to deal with him, not after the reason behind our breakup... what if he's there with her?" You question, shifting the phone to speaker as you fold your scrubs and put them away in your work drawer. "There will be loads of people there... you'll hardly even see him. Besides, we'll deck you out, so if you happen to see this whore then you'll lock a dime!" She pleads and you know at this point that you'll agree. A few hours later, you're dressed in a bubble gum pink two-tone high wasted dress and nude heals. Louis gives you a bright smile, tugging on one of your loose curls affectionately before he helps you into the backseat of his Land Rover. You talk with his girlfriend the entire time, filling his car with laughter and gossip that Louis can't ignore. You stay at his side as the three of you enter the party, heading straight for the VIP section to greet Harry and the newest artist. "Louis... Katie... [Y/N], you made it! Now the party can start," Harry teases, pulling you for a tight hug while lifting you off your feet to twirl you about before greeting the other two at your side. Harry's a generous host, passing you drink after drink while chatting happily with everyone and praising Matthew for all his success and hard work. You're on your forth drink, glancing around the crowded party when you notice a mess of blonde hair making it's way through the party towards the stairs leading to the VIP section. Holly is at Niall's back, hand laced with his in an all black dress with her tattoos on full display. You set your drink down and look to make a quick escape but realize that the only way back down the party is the staircase Niall and Holly are climbing. Zayn appears out of nowhere, sliding in front of you to block your view as he passes you another drink. "Keep drinking... when the coast is clear, we'll get out of here" he says in understanding, taking another puff from his cigarette and you do as he says. "You got her?" You faintly hear Louis question and you realize at this point, you're completely hammered and unable to make rational decisions. "Yeah... she'll be fine, I'm just gonna take her home and let her sleep it off," Zayn responds. "You're gonna take her back to your house, so you can take advantage of her?" You hear a familiar angry Irish voice state, and through the hazy drunk film covering your eyes you see Niall in a standoff with Zayn. "No mate, that's your thing... remember?" Zayn snaps, pushing past the blonde to reach for you. "Don't go with him," Niall pleads, taking your arm in his hold and you're too drunk to realize what's about to happen. A fist flies across and strikes Niall in the cheek sending the angry Irishmen backwards on his ass before you're being lifted over a strong shoulder. A few hours later, as you're retching into the toilet, Zayn gathers your hair at the nape of your neck and reassures you everything will be alright. And you have a feeling that he means more than the impending hangover that will strike in the morning.
