Chapter 4

"Oh my goodness I'm sorry. I'm really sorry!" I help him up. He struggles at first but I pick him up as he holds his nose and face. "I'm really sorry!" I tell him again.

"No it's totally fine. This is what I get for trying to scare women I guess!"

"Niall I'm extremely sorry!" I tell him meaning it. I pat his shoulder up and down, though I know that won't help.

"It's fine, really. This is actually how me and Dylan kinda met!" He chuckles. I get in his face, right in front of him, checking to see if it's as bad as I'm picturing it. His right side of his face shows a light bruise but can darken anytime soon to be more visible. His right eye is swollen but can open in any minute to show purple.

"Niall, I swear I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that! I feel really bad right now! I wouldn't do that to you I swear I wouldn't! I'm sorry Niall! I thought you were some creep sneaking up on me. I wouldn't have done that if I knew it was you. I didn't mean to go all hulk on you I swear!"

"No it's fine really. Spencer don't worry about it. It hardly hurt. Though I didn't think you could punch that hard! If anyone asks, just say I got in a fight with a guy who stole my car." I lightly giggle but look at his face that he now covers. It looks like he wants to cry. What should I do?
He quickly changes the subject before I can speak.
"What are you still doing here anyway? School ended 25 minutes ago." Why is he asking me this when he's still here as well.
"My dad's late." Is all I say.
"What are you doing here?" It was my turn to ask.
"No reason. I walk home since I had my car taken up by my parents. So why not go home when I want to right?" He chuckles.

"How about I walk you home?" I think for a minute. Would my dad allow it? Will he be mad when he finds out? He shouldn't, he left me here.

"I'd like that." I stand up. He stands beside me and we begin to walk.

"Do you want to take my jacket?"

"No, it's fine. Liam gave me his earlier. I look at his jacket and it looks really warm. It's a light blue jacket and he wears a sweatshirt underneath.
"I have a sweatshirt underneath and you look really cold."

What's up with everyone wanting to give me there jacket? "No, it's fine. Really it is!" But as I look over at him he already has it off wearing a black one underneath. I sigh and take it from him and put it on underneath the one Liam gave me.

"I'll give it back to you once we reach my house. It's not that far away anyway.

"Keep it."
"Oh no, Niall it's alright. I already have Liam's and I already have some at home! It fine."
"I said keep it! This is what friends are for!"
"What's up with you boys wanting to give me jackets! I hardly know you guys and I'm walking home with you right now!"
"Just think of us as.." He pauses for a moment before saying, "Your older brothers who love and want to take care of you!" He smiles at me with a clear white smile. I giggle, "thanks brother." "No, not me your brother. I'm mainly talking about Liam. But I guess I can to. You know Harry has a crush on you."

"He's not the first." I sigh.
"What do you mean?" He looks at me with his eyebrows pulled together.

"Some guys in home room. One of them is Braden. He said he loves me and wants to marry me. He called me beautiful. I'm hoping he's joking but by the looks on his face, I don't know. But most of the guys only say that is because my dad is someone who helped build "Geoff Bodine's car! Also some guy name Austin gave me his number."

"Don't listen to them. Yeah you're beautiful but don't listen to them when they say they loved you. They probably just saying all those stuff to meet your dad. Don't worry. Liam is in that class so he'll protect you." He smiles at me.
