Traitor

4.

After Zayn left Diana called me into her office. "Linds, you've been doing an amazing job lately sales have been up because of you." She said proudly. "Thanks." I said feeling my mood lighten for the first time today. "So what I was thinking is that you deserve a raise." She said slowly. "Really?" I asked my voice rising. "Yeah an extra dollar a hour and you can have the rest of today off." She said smiling. "Oh my god thank you, thank you, thank you! " I said giving her a hug and rushing out of the shop. I began my usually ten minute walk, but it was now thirty. I walked past the coffee shop and the grocery store before I saw my old house. There was a black Range Rover in the garage, no doubt my dads. What I didn't expect was for him to be outside and to see me. "Lindsey!" He said happily before bouncing over to me. "Hey dad." I said quietly. "Come give your old man a hug!" He said opening his arms. I smiled before giving him what he wanted. "So." He started.

"Why'd you move out your sister was telling me how you got mad at her and yelled at her." He said. "I don't believe her." I said. "I knew it wasn't true you're too sweet." My dad said. "What else did she say?" I asked. "She was asking me for more money because you apparently went crazy and trashed all her stuff." He said. I was about to rip my own hair out. "Dad she kicked me out. Someone broke into the house because I didn't lock the door." I said. "I feel terrible about it believe me, I just don't know what to do anymore." I added quickly. "Aw hun it's not your fault I promise." Dad said pulling me in for another hug.

"Who are you living with now?" Dad asked. "Niall and Zayn." I said. "You're just out to make your sister mad at you?" Dad said chuckling softly. "Niall offered." I said shrugging my shoulders. "Dad, I got to go I'm going to go home and cook dinner for Niall as like a thank you." I said quickly. "Alright, I love you dear." He said. "Love you too daddy." I said before continuing my walk. I pulled out my phone and called Harry, my stepbrother, to see if he could pick up some things from the shops and meet me at Niall's. He happily agreed. Upon arriving at Niall's no one was home. Perfect. 

I waited for Harry to get here and he actually helped me cook, who would've thought he knew how to.

I gave him a peck in the cheek and sent him out the door waiting for Niall to arrive. "Christ whatever that smell is I want to marry it!" I heard Niall shout as he walked in the door. He walked into the kitchen where I was playing with a strand of my hair. "Lindsey did you make whatever that is?" Niall asked. "First of all it's Chicken Alfredo and second it's a thank you for letting me stay here." I said. "Do I get some of that too because I live here as well and that smells fucking delicious!" I heard Zayn shout from the living room. "Sure." I said loud enough for him to hear. They both sat down at the kitchen table to eat. "Um guys where am I going to sleep tonight?" I asked the question that I've been thinking about all day. "I don't mind you sleeping in my bed." Zayn said before slurping up a noodle. "And I kick in my sleep." Niall said shooting me a wink. I've known Niall long enough to know he doesn't kick in his sleep, that motherfucker. "So it's settled then, you're sleeping with me." Zayn said. I smiled on the outside but on the inside I was screaming.
