Protecting her heart

Ch.3

Aiden's POV

What the actual f***? Sorry, I don't usually swear, but I come home from my date and start texting Ashley and Kate and all I heard is an Irish accent yelling "Nandos" and Natie saying "Lets's go to Nandos."

My question is, how the heck is Nathalie agreeing with anything a guy from 1D says... Oh, and also WHY ONE DIRECTION IS IN MY APARTMENT.

Anyways, Jae said he'd bring me back some food, so I stayed home. I have a feeling I won't get along with those guys.

'Quack!! Quack!!!!' My cell phone ringed. I answered it, knowing the quacking only got louder.

"Hello?"

"Aiden. Hi. Do remember my name?" Kate's voice boomed through the phone.

"Sure I do babe! Kate, right?"

"It's Tessa. And we're over. To think it was our one week anniversary! Guess it meant nothing to you. I just got off the phone with my home girl, Ashley."

"Babe, I'm so sorry. You're the only one I love." I quickly covered up.

"Don't Babe me. Oh, and by the way, you're on speaker. Ashley, me, and Laura are all here."

"Um... Hi girls." I said. I then heard Laura's voice over the speaker.

"You little ass! All those times you said you loved me! Those were all lies. I hate you Aiden. Utterly and completely hate you."

"I'm really sorry Laur-"

"I can't believe you cheated on me! With my best friends too! Have a nice life, Aiden." I heard Ashley's voice speak calmly. Ashley was always very calm. I liked her morning kisses too. Damn, am i ever going to miss those.

"Yeah, well. You're not getting anymore, so have fun with the blonde bimbo you're with at the moment." Ashley said.

"Shoot! I said that out loud?" I said.

"Ashley, I swear. I'm not with anyone at the moment." I begged her to believe me.

"And how should I believe that?" Ashley's voice became a little uneven.

"Look, I think all this is just a big misunders-" They cut me off.

They hung up on me. I never get rejected by girls. Holy macaroni, my life's a screw up right now.

Zayn's POV

"So! Nat. Tell us about yourself.". I'm pretty sure she said we could call her Nat.

"Whadya wanna know?" She said, with her mouth full.

"Anything. Full name, age, who these 3 boys are, your past, plans for the future, and that kind of stuff."

"Um... Nat Claire Brent, 18, I refuse to talk about my past, Jae, and Eli are my friends, Aiden, back home is my best friend, I wanna be a some kind of pro skater. Thats pretty much it."

"I thought your first name w-" I started, but got cut off.

"Don't say it. I hated that name, hate it still, and always will." She said

"Hey! That rhimes." Louis spoke up.

"Shut it Stripes, I already have a headache."

"Do you need me to carry you to the car?" Harry asked Nat.

Nathalie's POV

*Couple of minutes later*

"I already told you to not flirt with me, Curly." I was really starting to get annoyed with this dude.

Just as Curly was about to say something, my cell vibrated in my pocket.

"Hello?" I said.

"Hi, Natie!" Sam's voice said cheerfully into the phone.

"Samie! How are you?" I said. I never really fought with her, especially since she always respects what I want. Such as never calling me Nathalie.

"I was with Ryan. He's so adorable. Dad's out drinking again. ". She said. Oh yeah, and Ryan is her new next door neighbour. He's her age and apparently super sweet.

"That's nice. When you comin' to visit? I miss the S in Jeans!!"

"My b-day's coming up. And i wanna spend it with my sista!"

"Omg. Yes. Imma get a party planned for you immediately." I said. I'm not really the party type, but I know for a fact that my sister loves parties, so I'm willing to compromise if she's willing to come all this way by herself.

"Kay love ya Natie!"

"Love ya too, Sammie!"

"Bye!"

"Bye!"

Harry's POV

She has a boyfriend. I didn't really understand the part about her jeans, though. I knew this as soon as I heard this, "Love ya too, Sammy!" No wonder she hasn't fallen for me yet. Oh yeah, I like her. Did i mention that? I bet she and this Sam character are really tight. I feel so bummed right now.

Nat's POV

Curls over here looks really sad.

"Hey curls, stop frowning. It's not a good look on you."

"Leave me alone." He said. Um, how about no? It's MY apartment...

"Um no. This is my apartment. Therefore, I get to stay where I want. Seriously Styles, what has crawled up your butt?" Before I could say something else, he got up from the couch, and went to the bed he was sharing with Zayn, who was texting someone.

"Harry, you alright, mate?"

"Yes! Just leave me alone" I heard from the room. A few seconds later, Zayn came out and sat down on the couch, where Styles was sitting a few moments ago.

"What's up with Curls, do you know?" I asked Quiff.

"Dunno... By the way, his name is Harry. " He mumbled as he looked back at his phone. He was texting someone named 'Perrie<3'. Probably his girly friend.

"Imma make myself a nutella sandwich." I hadn't realized how hungry I was until now.

Without a answer, I got up and walked to the kitchen, where Niall was raiding the fridge. "Wastup Girlio?" He said when he saw me.

"It's Nat. And I'm hungry. What did you not eat?"

"Not a lot. " He mumbled.

"Whatever." I managed to find Elijah's secret sweets hideout. I looked around for Nutella, and sure enough, there it was. I grabed a jar and took my head out of the trap door, that camouflaged into the cupboard. Niall's face lit up and tryed to grab the nutella jar from me.

"Nice try leprecaun. This is mine. Steal your own."

"Where?"

"Not telling."

He frowned.

"Hey, by the way, do you know what's Curlie's problem?"

"Harry? Nope. Try asking Louis. He's the closest to Harry in the group. If there is anything wrong with Harry, he'd probably tell Louis."

"Thanks Blondie. Just curious."

"No problemo, Girlio. If you do find out, tell me okay? I wanna know too."

"Okay, Niall." I said, just realizing I forgot to call him Blondie.

"What happenned to my nicknames?" He realized too.

"Wow. What happenned to me? I'm turning into a softie!" I exclaimed.

"Anyways, I have a Nutella jar to find."

"Adios, Blondie." I said, turning around to find the TV on. A few of the boys were watching The hangover. Yess! I love this movie.
