The secret side of me

Chapter 5

Chapter 5~ Layla's pov

It was about 2 in the morning and I was starting to doze off. I had just fallen asleep when I heard Josh, that annoying little ass, yell in me ear... really loudly by the way.

" Layla!Wake up!That one Harry douche is on the phone!He said it's important." Josh yelled. Wait did I hear that right? Did he say Harry was on the phone for me? What? It must be impotant if he called me for it. I took my phone from his hand and put it up to my ear.

"Hello?" I asked in my morning voice. Like seroiusly I just went to sleep.

"Hey umm Its Niall he told me to call you. Although I dont know why he would want to talk to you but what ever." He said the last part to himself but I still heard.

"Wait what? What's wrong with Niall that would make him need me" I asked extremely confussed right now. I thought he was scared of me. I thought he was avoiding me.

"I don't know, he just came home all beat up and told me to call you. He said he needs to talk to you." He said annoyed that he was talking to me.

"Umm, ok I'll be right there, I guess." I said getting up and grabbing my stuff. He told me where they lived and hung up. "I'm sorry Josh but I have to go it's an emergency." I told him. He just nodded sad that I had to leave. I left without another word. I got in my car, pulled out of the drive way, and sped in the direction of their house. I pulled up and parked the car. I jogged to the front door and knocked lightly waiting for Harry to answer the door. Only a couple seconds later he did, glaring at me annoyed and pissed off.

"He's up stairs second door on the left." He said stepping to the side so I could get in. I jogged up to Niall's room and knocked on the door before I opened it to see a beaten Niall on the bed. He looked my way and I saw his whole face. He was brused everywhere and had a cut on his lip and above his right eyebrow. I let the words fall out of my mouth without thinking.

"What happened to you?" I asked waiting for him to answer. He nodded his head towords the end of his bed telling me to sit down. I did as told and stared at him expectantly.

"I was walking home and I was jumped. I couldn't really see who it was because it was dark but they told me to tell you that he warned you, and next time he won't be so nice. Who was it? What do they mean? Layla whats going on?" he said confused. I sighed loudly. Thinking about what he just told me, letting it all sink in.

I stood up and turned away from him. " Fuck" muttered under my breath.

"What Layla? What's wrong" He asked conserened.

"It was Ed." I start to explain everything to him." He is head of our rival gang. An-"

" Wait what?!?!?" Niall yelled looking at me shocked.

" Yes, now just shut up and let me explain." I said annoyed. "You guys don't know anything about me. No one does but my gang. I've been in since I was 12 and kept that part of my life a secret from all of you. The other week at the party Ed came to warn me not to get close to anyone and he killed one of our own. So when I was trying to find out where he had been hiding from that guy in the alley you showed up becuase you are a nosey little dumbass, Ed's man must have seen you and told him and now they want you dead becuase they think your with me. So nice going you dumbass! I yelled the last part at him.

He sat there silent for a while taking in everything I just told him. I don't blame him It's alot to take in and knowing a gang wants you dead. He finally looked up at me. " What are we going to do?" He asked' I flinched a little when he said we. It was like piosen to my ears but after what he just told me I know that's how it will have to be now, no matter how much I hate it.

"Your with me now." I said so pissed off that this is how it has to be now alll because he was a nosy little twat and followed me that day. " Pack your shit you have to stay with us. It's not safe for you to be on your own. You have to be with me at all times becuase you have no idea what you have done, what this means, or what kinda of a world you just stepped in. You won't be able to protect your slef as sad as it sounds." I said agrivated.

"Us?" He asked getting up to start to pack. I just smirked at him not answering... he will know soon enough. After he was done packing we walked down stairs and were about to walk out the door when we heard Harry clear his throat behind us. We turned around and I pretended to be scared as I kind of hid behind Niall. He looked back at me and sighed stepping forward.

"Why are you going with the annoying little freak?" Harry asked staring at me.

" Umm she's helping me with something and I'm going to be staying with her for a while." He said unsure of how he would react.

" Why?" Harry asked confused and annoyed.

" Listen I can't tell you now we have to go but I'll explain later." Niall said dodging his question and turning around to me."C'mon lets go"he said nodding towards the door. I nodded hesitantly and slowly walked to the door and walking out. the second the door was closed I dropped the act and walked to my car unlocking it. When we were both inside I sped away towards my house.

"Why do you act like your scared of us?" He asked turning towards me.

"Becuase if one day I just wasn't scared you guys would think something is up so everything had to stay how it was before. I make sure to keep my two live seperate but you kind of fucked that up." I said pissed off."Now no talking. We are not freinds or anything like that I'm just keeping you from getting killled until I deal with this in a couple of days." I said never talking my eyes off the road.

"What a-are you going to do in a couple of days?" He asked

"I said no talking didn't I?" I said looking at him with cold eyes. He turn back to the road mumbling a sorry. I loved that people were scared of me i loved how it felt when people feared me. I felt in control.I pulled up in front of my house and got out walking staight in asuming he would follow me in, and he did.

"Follow me." I said walking up to the spare room that used to be my parents room. "You can stay in here 'till this is all over. But don't go looking around theres a bathroom right there and my room is right here. That is all you need to know, you wake up, you don't go any where, you stay in there or come get me. Got it?" I said harshly. He nodded and walked into his temporary room and closed the door.

I walked into the bathroom to take a shower and brush my teeth. When I was done I got dressed and layed down in my bed staring at the ceiling, thinking about what's been going on around me lately. Everything has gotten so messed up. At least it will all be over soon.
