The secret side of me

Chapter 6

Chapter 6~Layla's pov

I woke up to some one shaking me awake. Really Niall! When I said wake me up I didn't mean it! I need my sleep but he wouldn't stop!

"What?!" I said not opening my eyes with an annoyed voice.

"I'm hungry"Niall said in an innocent voice.

"Then go get some cereal!" I said annoyed

"But you said not to go anywhere and to go get you."

"Well now I'm telling you to go get cereal and let me sleep!" I said flipping over in my bed. I heard him get up and walk out. Thank God! I kept flipping over and over restlessly. Well I geuss I'm not going back to sleep!

I got up annoyed that I was woken up. I walked over to my dresser pulling out some skinny jeans with cuffs at the ankles and a purple tanktop. I changed and put on my leather jacket and some purple toms. I put my hair in a high pony tail and walked out of my room and down the stairs. I went into the kitchen to see him on the counter with a bowl of apple jacks in his hand.

"Finish up and lets go" I said waiting for him to finish since I was already ready.

"Where?" He asked putting his empty bowl in the sink.

"You'll see" I said with a smirk. I walked out of the house and to my car. When we were both in I pulled out and drove away. It wasn't long untill we pulled into the firmilliar drive way. "C'mon" I said as I got out.

"Hey pually. Is everyone inside?" I asked. He nodded slowly staring Niall down. I looked behind me at a very scared looking Niall then back at Pual. " Oh. Don't ask" I said walking past him and into the house. To see everyone sitting around the living room.

"Hey Layla" they all said. Zack stood up to come give me a hug."Layla" Zack said in a warning tone pulling back and looking behind me at a lost Niall."You brought someone here! You know what will happen!"He said yelling in my face trying to get passed me and to Niall who was cowering backwards in fear. I pushed Zack backwards.

"Let me explain." I said with my hands up." This is Niall an-"

"Thats it!" Zack said charging at him and tackeling him. He puched him in the jaw but before he could hit him again I grabbed him and pulled him off of him and threw him towards the others so they could hold him back.

"Layla, what the hell are you thinking bringing him here!" He said yelling at the top of his lungs "He is your bully! Do you get that?! He made you miserable everyday and you have the scars to prove it! He is the reason you ever got involved with all of this. How many times did you come home brused and broken and cry into my chest?!" He said with tears starting to well up in his eyes at the memories and in mine as well.

"Listen I know! Don't think I just forgot! I will never forget! It happens every day of my life! But it also got me where I am now. I am so much stronger now and I have all of you guys so I should be thanking him." I say my voice soft at the last part. " I didn't forgive him. I hate the sight of him more than you do but I can't give Ed the satisfaction of killing him. If anyones going to do it I want it to be me. So if you will let me explain, that would be great"I puased for a second calming down before I started again.

I explained to them everything starting with the party and how Ed was there and Niall saw everything. Then how he followed me the next day to the alley where Ed's guy saw him and told Ed about him. And how they beat him as a warning to me and now how they want him dead so he has to stay with me until it's all over.

By the time I was done my brother had calmed down."Fine but if he touches you I'm going to beat the shit out of him, I don't know why you havn't yet " He mumbeled the last part to himself

I grabbed Niall and told him to sit in a chair apart from everyone."stay right here" I said sternly before I walked over to the table and took a seat with Zack and Nick. "So when do we go throught with this?" I asked refering to the plan about Ed."Two days" Nick told me.

Niall's pov

I sat down in the seat she told me to and stayed there. I just sat there looking at my hands, Zack's words on replay in my head. Was it really that bad? I felt so horible. It's not like I wanted to, but at the time I thought it was better to be the bully with them then the bullied all alone. I felt so bad hearing what it was like for her.

I finally looked up to see all eyes narrowed at me."So your one of the five idiots who hurt our little black angel over there?" one of the guys sitting on the floor said. I swallowed hard. There were two gangs that wanted me dead and one of them were right in front of me. I looked over at the table and saw Layla walking up to us. She layed down on the floor with her head in the guy who was talking to me's lap.

"Oh c'mon Luke. Let it go. He's going to be here for the next couple of days." she said looking up at him.

"But he hurt you" Luke said looking down at her. She looked back at at him warningly."Fine" he said with a sigh. He started playing with her hair and she closed her eyes.

"Are you to together" The words came out before I could stop myself.

" This is like my family." She said motioning to everyone in the room."That would be gross" They both chuckeled.

"Why were yo jealous?" he looked at me smirking.

"No" I said defensively. But then I thought about it. Maybe I was a little jealous.
