The secret side of me

Chapter 4

Chapter 4~Layla's pov

God I hated this! Even after what happened my brother still said insisted that I go to school. What if something happens when I'm gone? I need to be at the house right now. Not at a stupid school.

My thought were interrupted by the sound of Niall's annoying voice.

"Hey Layla!" He whispered. He probably wasn't supposed to be talking to me without the boys. Or at all without it ending in a beating... It probably will.

"Y-yes?" I asked acting scared and backing up a little as he came closer.

"Don't worry I'm not gunna hurt you." He told me but I still acted scared."I was just wondering where you were Friday night?" He asked unsure of himself.

"At home studying for the history test. Why?" I lied.

"Uh, nothing never mind." He said looking down.

"Ok is that all?" I asked trying to get away from him.

"Yeah sorry." He said and walked away. Ok weird.

I got the feeling after that that I had gotten at the party. Like I was constantly being watched, and that's how it was the rest of the day.

Niall's pov

I could have sworn it was her at that party but I guess I was wrong. There was only one way to find out, follow her after school.

I was walking behind her as she walked home. I saw her meet up with some girl and she handed Layla some stuff and next thing I know she was completely different. She looked like the girl at the party. So it was her! I knew it!

She took off her glasses and let her hair fall in waves down her back. She traded her hoodie for a leather jacket. She was wearing red converse, skinny jeans a red low cut top with a black leather jacket. I have to admit she looked pretty hot.

I followed them to this shady looking house and watched them walk in. What were they doing! She's going to get murdered in there.

It was about a half an hour later till I saw her walk out with a guy next to her. The looked alike, they could be brother and sister. I kept an eye on them as they walked away.

I ended up following them into this pretty much abandoned street where they were...following? Yeah following some guy. They pulled him into an alley way where I couldn't see them any more. I guess I'll just wait till they came out.

I was waiting until I heard agonizing screams. What was going on? I walked over to the alley they were in and peaked around the corner. I saw the guy with Layla holding the man they were following so he couldn't move. I watched as Layla beat him. She got in his face yelling something at him. He wasn't even looking at her. Oh crap he was looking at me. Before I could even move Layla turned around and made eye contact with me. Uh oh!

Layla's pov

I punched him again and again then leaned in again.

"Now, where the fuck is Ed hiding?" I yelled at him. He wasn't even paying attention. He was looking at something behind me. I turned around to see what he was staring at and saw what I hoped I never would. Niall. Crap! That means he knows! I can't have him tell any body! I grabbed him as fast as I could and pinned him to the alley wall.

"What are you doing here Niall?" I asked in a raspy voice from screaming, my eyes dark. How could I be so stupid to let him follow me!

"I had to know if it was you at the party." He said scared. Good.

"Well now you know. And your going to keep it our little secret right?" I said staring him down. He nodded. "Good because if you don't we are gunna have a problem. You hear me?" I asked making sure he won't tell anybody. "Good now leave, go home." I said pushing him towards the street and watched him run away.

I turned back to the man in Zach's arms hitting him again and again until he was begging for mercy.

"Then tell me! Where is Ed hiding?"I yelled. When he told me we left him in the alley and went back to the house to plan our revenge.

************************************

It's been a couple days since I saw Niall in the alley. I've seen him since then when Harry and them would come during school but he just stayed in the back and didn't look at me, probably scared. Luckily he didn't tell anyone.

We planned out our revenge and were going to go through with it in a couple days. Right now I was in the car going to Josh's house to hang out since it's been awhile. Me and Josh have been friends since we were in the first grade so even when the bullying started he was still there for me. I can be myself around him but he still doesn't know the real me, the violent gang leader. He knows the nerd but still loves me. Him and my gang are the only people I have.

I pulled up to his house and walked up to the front door, I just walked in not bothering with knocking. I saw him on the couch and sat down next to him taking the remote and flipping through the channels and landed on the movie Up.

"You want to have a movie night?"I asked pushing my stupid glasses up on my nose.

"Sure princess! I'll get the popcorn." He said getting up and walking into the kitchen.

It was nice. It felt like old times, before I was in. It felt good to have something normal in my life.
