ANDY'S POV

" What are you doing here!?" My tears began flowing down like the heavy rainfall outside.

" I work here.." His tone soft and saddened.

" I mean HERE in London!"

I wiped my tears away, I haven't seen hector since I moved. Nobody knew that I left I kind of just disappeared.

" This is my sisters restaurant..." I smiled

" Really!? Rosa finally did it thats great! "

" yeah we already have 6 other ones, but this is her newest one and she likes to be here the opening week to make sure everything works well.."

I could tell he was holding something back, my heart began beating.

" Andy how long has it been since you've talked to your mom?"

I bit my bottom lip, trying to avoid the question.

" Andrea Rene Campos." His tone was harsh hector was my older cousin, and the last time I saw him I was a lot heavier and my hair was a lot shorter.

I sighed looking at my feet.

" almost 2 years." I answered without feeling, after the first couple months i stopped feeling guilty, yet falling asleep at night was still very difficult.

" Andrea..." His tone was saddened.

I spoke in a whisper.

" I have to go.." I tried pushing past him but he blocked my way.

" Andrea are you ignoring your family because of that boy? It was hard on all of us you can't just walk out on your family like that! la familia es para siempre ( family is forever ) "

" yo se hector! ( I know) " I rubbed my temples.

" and no I just met him, it's our first date." I finally managed to push past him, but he followed.

I grabbed Nialls hand, he threw 60 dollars on the table.

" come on let's go!"

Hector chased us out the door yelling

" Andrea! Tu madre! ( your mom!)

vas a arrepentir de esto! (you're going to regret it!) "

" what is he saying!?" Niall opened the door for me and we drove off.

" what was all that about!?" I covered my ears breathing in and out slowly.

" nothing Niall nothing."

" Andrea ... Are you crying?!"

" Niall PLEASE!"

I snapped, he got the hint and stopped questioning me. He let me sob in silence to finally I cracked.

" I'm sorry Niall I didn't mean to yell."

" it's fine... You can tell me when you're ready."

" can I tell you something else though?" I took a huge breathe clearing my throat.

" yeah what is it?" His eyes were fixed on the road, as we came to a red light.

" this is my first date..." At first he didn't get it and said

" really? Your first date since you've moved here?" He looked at me and smiled.

" no... My first date.. EVER" he froze a bit, until the cars behind us honked he then realized the light turned green.

*NIALLS POV*

" i havent seen her since our date, almost a week ago and the date was crazy! The waiter was yelling at her in Spanish. he knew her name, and she started crying."

I shook my head as I told the boys about our date, we were at the fitness center. I was doing pull ups and gently jumped down grabbing a towel.

" and what did Andrea do?" Harry was doing sit ups as he spoke, the sweat streaming down his back.

" she grabbed me to run out, then she cried most of the way home"

Louis was quiet the entire time he never spoke a word.

"Then she pulls this out on me! She said that I took her on her first date EVER. In her life!"

All the boys stopped what they were doing freezing, Zayn put his weight down, Liam stopped jump roping and Harry sat up straight.

"What!?" They said in unison.

" I don't know, I think that it won't work out between us. Yeah know?"

Louis expression changed, his jaw clenched and his breathing became heavy.

" yeah... Because she's never had a boyfriend" Harry agreed.

" yeah isn't that odd? How she's never had any relationship at all?"

Zayn sat on the bench wiping the sweat away from his forehead with the back of his hand.

" right? Maybe there's more to her then what we really know! I mean who just leaves the country without knowing anyone there!"

Suddenly Louis slammed the big red stop button on the treadmill, and jumped off before it could stop moving. His nose was flaring as he rushed towards us.

" You don't know half the shit she's been through. Niall listen to your self! Who the fuck are you?"

Louis tone surprised me and everyone else.

" you've never even had a girlfriend either, ok you've been on dates but you've never been committed. Andrea is an amazing girl, she's just had a tough time getting to know people."

" ok Louis calm down..." I chuckled.

" Niall it's not funny. Now get your head out of your ass, get over yourself and realize what you're doing."

He scoffed before storming out of the gym.

" what the hell was that?" Liam crinkled his eyebrows.

" I have no idea..." I shrugged, for some reason I then felt horrible about myself and the things that I had said.

I grabbed my phone.

" hey Andy it's Niall."
