Alex's POV

We drive around for 3 hours or so. It's around lunch time so the guys and I decide we're going to get some lunch in the restaurant connected to the go kart track.

When we sit down we order some drinks and food. We wait for a while before our food comes. Once it comes I pounce on it like a jaguar on a gazelle. The guys stare at me but I shrug it off. They eat food there way and I'll eat it mine. Once I finish eating I excuse myself to use the restroom.

I walk down a small hallway towards the restrooms. If you turn on your first right it's the supply closet and on your second right is the women's washroom. After I use the washroom I wash my hands then leave. When I walk down the small hallway I hear noises near the supply closet. I stop and peer around the corner to see Niall and this blonde.

"Oh Niall." The girl says as she strokes his arm affectionately. "Oh, Rebecca." He says and pulls her into him. Niall leans down and connects there lips. My eyes bulge out of my head when I see the scene in front of me unfold. Rebecca starts to pull Niall's shirt off as he opens the door to the supply closet. When he gets it open he pushes her inside and jumps on her and slowly takes her shirt off. He shuts the door and I feel the tears stream down my face.

I run over to our table, I grab my bag and leave as fast as I can. I hear the others following me in hot pursuit. Somebody grabs my wrist and spins me around so I'm facing them. "Alex, what happened?" Liam asks and wipes some of the tears off my face. "Why don't you ask your backstabbing friend who's fucking another girl in the supply closet of the restaurant as we speak!" I scream as more tears start to fall. Liam lets go and I quickly turn around before running off again.

I sit down on a curb and cry. I feel an arm wrap around my shoulders and soon pulls me in for a hug. I look up to see Louis giving me a weak smile. "Let's go home." He says before picking me up bridal style and starting to walk home. It's a good thing he carrying me because I don't think I have the energy to walk.

When we walk inside Liam and Zayn are sitting on the couch. "Where is he?" I ask as I walk towards them. "In his room." I nod. "I'm going to talk with him. I may need back up so if you hear screaming come upstairs." They nod and I slowly walk upstairs.

When I reach Niall room I take a deep breath before entering. When I walk in Niall's sitting on his bed with his head in his hands. He looks up when I come in. "Why Niall?" I ask and he stares at me. "Why what?" He asks coldly. "Why would you do this to me? To us?" He laughs. "What us? You were just using me as a sense of security. You just wanted me so you knew you'd be safe." He spats and I look at him shocked. "I know that's not true and so do you." He gets up and walks towards me. "Have fun in dream land slut." Before I could say anything I feel his fist connect with my eye and I'm on the ground. Spots appear before my eyes and I soon black out.

When I wake up I'm on the couch and its like a war zone. Louis and Niall are screaming at each other. Liam is trying to calm them both down but is so far isn't doing to well. Zayn is nowhere to be found. What did I wake up to?

"WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT?! DID YOU KNOW HOW LUCKY YOU WERE TO HAVE HER?! SHE'S AN AMAZING GIRL AND YOU RUINED IT!" Louis yells at Niall and I can see Niall getting angry. "WHY DO YOU CARE WHAT I DO WITH HER?! IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE THE ONE THAT WAS DATING HER!" The guys haven't noticed I'm back yet and I stand in the corner waiting for Louis to answer. "I CARE BECAUSE YOU CAN'T JUST TREAT A GIRL LIKE THAT! A girl like Alex doesn't deserve that, you don't know how much I care about her and I can't stand seeing her hurt." Tears fall down his face and he gives Niall a cold, hard glare.

When his words sink in I'm shocked. He really cares that much about me.

"You know what Louis, if you care so much about her you can have her. I don't want some clingy piece of trash like her anyways. Have fun with that piece of work." Niall turns around and when he sees me standing there he glares at me and walks upstairs.

''Did he really mean it?" I ask teary eyed. Louis walks towards me with open arms. "No he didn't." Louis rubs circles in my back as I rest my head on his chest. "Then why did he say it?" Louis hesitates for a moment. "I don't know Alex, I don't know."

Zayn walks in the front door with a bag in his hands. "I brought home chicken!" I laugh and we walk towards the kitchen. Niall walks in and I look down. He sits down across from me and I slowly nibble at my food. Honestly if you wanted to you could cut the tension with a knife.

When I look up from my food everyone is staring at me. "What?" I ask feeling the heat rush to my cheeks. "We asked what you wanted to do tonight?" Liam said and I looked down. "Sorry, I didn't hear you." I apologize. "Seems like you only hear and see what you want to." Niall mutters. "What was that?" I ask and he narrows his eyes at me. "You heard me?" I give him an innocent look. "Oh I'm sorry. Were you upset that I saw you cheating on me. You know, when we were dating." He glares at me and I smile once again. "You can just shut it you stupid piece of trash." He spats at me.

"You call me a piece of trash, when others tell me I'm not. But you will always be my mistake and others will agree." He looks stunned. "Slut." He spats before walking upstairs. "Best you got?" He glares at me.

Once Niall's upstairs I let out a deep breath. "If you don't mind me asking, where are you sleeping now? You know, because I don't think you'll be sleeping with Niall." Zayn asks uncomfortably. I think about this for a moment. "Well you're right in the fact that I won't be sleeping with Niall or talking to much with him. But I don't where I want to sleep. I've considered going back to my house." As soon as those words leave my mouth Louis screams out NO.

"What?" I ask confused and a little surprised. "You can't go back to your house." He says and looks down. "Why not? It's my house after all." Louis looks at me in the eyes and I can't help but look back. "Remember Magi's threat. If you go back to your house you won't have anyone there with you and it will be that much easier for her to and kill you." I see his eyes start to get a little tears at the thought of it. "Okay, then where can I sleep?" Louis looks down nervously. "You could sleep in Harry's room." Liam says and look over at him. "That'll work I guess." He smiles at me. "If you have any troubles you can come to one of us and if Niall comes or if Magi manages to get to you scream as loud as you can." Zayn says and I nod my head.

"Small issue guys." They look at me worried. "What is it?" Louis says and I smile. He really is concerned about me. "My stuff is in Niall's room. If I try to confront him my other eye is going to be black and people will think I suck at doing my makeup." The boys smile at me. "I'll go on with you and tell Niall you're just getting your stuff." Louis says and takes my hand.

When Louis grabs my hand I can't help but get butterflies in my stomach. I know since the whole Niall thing I shouldn't be trusting guys so easily but Louis makes me feel safe. When him and Niall were arguing and he was sticking up for me, calling me amazing. What impacts me the most though, is he said he cared about me. Not a lot of people care about me, actually I think Louis might be the only one. It meant the world to me and I hope I won't get hurt again.
