Cindy's Point Of View

January 17th

Matt has been gone for an hour.  He stole my phone and I have no way to contact him.  I'm freaking out right now.  What is he doing?  He is really gone to see Harry?  I can't believe it if he did.  He is really brave to stand up for Virginie or stupid, because Harry is really tall and strong.

Now that he got me all woken up, I head into the shower.  Once I'm out, Ma and Pa tell me they are heading to Tesco and will be back with breakfast in a bit.  Being now all alone in the house, I would have texted Niall, but I ain't got my phone with me.  My stupid and reckless of a brother has lost the plot.  

I head to his bedroom and sit on his bed.  If he has been to see Harry, I want to hear all the details.  It gets me quite excited.  What would my brother do to him?  What would my brother do to Harry Styles?  What could go wrong?  I hear the front door open and he gets in his bedroom in a fury.

"How did it go?  What did you do?"  I ask in a rush, very curious.

"There you go, your phone.  Thank you for lending it to me."  He says as he hands it to me.

"I wouldn't call it that way, but it's my pleasure I guess."  I mumble and grab his hand in mine.  His knuckles are bright red and I see there's wiped dried blood on them.  "Did you hit him?"

"Twice..."  He says and it gets the biggest smile on my face and it reassures him.  He looks proud of himself now.

"What!?  My brother beat up the shit out of Harry Styles, I would have loved to see that.  I'm so proud of you.  My brother is a though man.  He's not scared to stand up for the ones he loves.  I feel so much safer."  I joke, but mean every word, as I get up and look for a bag of peas in the freezer.

I walk back to his bedroom and sit next to him on the bed.  He winces when I put the bag on his bruised knuckles.

"Thanks."  He murmurs and smile shyly at me.

"Are you still mad at me?"  I ask quietly.

"No...  I never was mad at you.  I was pissed of the pain he caused Virginie and you were there to suffer my anger.  I'm sorry.  I really wish I would have known sooner.  I could have beaten the shit out of him then and I wouldn't have caught him with another girl."  He starts with a calm tone to end bitterly.

"What!?  Tell me what happened."  I can't believe what he just told me.  Another girl?!  Isn't he in a relationship with Kendall?!

"I knocked at the door and punched him the second I saw his face.  He shouted something at me and a girl named Pandora came down the stairs wearing only one of his plain shirts, like Virginie always used to wear to bed.  He disgusted me so much I punched him again.  He pushed me against the wall and I told him everything.  I told him Liam cared enough to fly to her, I read him some of the things she wrote to you to show him, in her own words, how she felt and maybe still feels.  I shouted a lot of other things too.  I was so angry Cindy, I called him a man whore.  I said he was like a dog with two dicks.  It felt good to tell him what I really think."  He smirks and looks down at his knuckles.

"What?!  Who are you and what have you done to my brother.  So bitchy, so fierce, I like it.  I'm proud of you."  I say as I get closer to hug him.

"You won't be proud if I learn that Niall is anything like him."  He smirks at me wanting to piss me off.  I know that face.

"Hey, hush now!  We are just friends and he makes me happy, so let me enjoy what I can have."

"Well, that's at least better than the other guy you dated about two months ago.  I didn't like him..."  He says still trying to pick on me.

"OK, please stop remembering me how much of a failure I am in love."  I whine and let my back fall on the bed.

"You are not a failure.  You love plenty.  You love profoundly.  You made of Virginie, a stranger from another country, your best friend long after I first met her.  You love people like they are family."  He says letting his gaze fall from his knuckles to my eyes.

"Clearly, out of the both of us, twins, you got the cheesy genes."  I let out in a playful sigh.

"Clearly, out of the both of us, twins, you got the cheeky genes."  He repeats and it surprises me.

"She is your best friend too, you know.  I guess she only wanted you to see her as the happy and strong woman she was here and not the wreck she became."  I tell him as he lays down next to me.  I comb his hair in a less messy way and he starts to smile.

"She asked me to stay longer this summer.  I know you guys maybe talked about going there for two weeks, but I think I would want to stay there another month after you guys leave..."  He says and it seems like he already thought about it a lot.

"It's a good idea.  I know she would be very happy."  I smile at him and thoroughly look at him.

"I hope so."  He simply says, but his face lights up, but as soon as he sees me staring he loses his smile.

"You like her, don't you?"
