Chapter 27

Niall POV

I walked quickly down the corridor following Amelia to see Harry with his back to us. He was gripping someone in front of him, the muscles in his arms were flex popping out.

“What… the fuck, are you doing here?” he spat at someone I still couldn’t see

Then I heard a familiar laugh “Put me down Styles, its my first day. It should be all hugs and smiles and kumbaya singing”

Nathan? Nathan fucking Sykes!

Harry yelled this time “WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE?”

“Ha” Nathan said as he wiggled loose walking around Harry locking eyes on me, “I’ve just transferred, I live up the street from, oh what’s her name” he paused looking around “Ah, yes Tomlinson. I live up the street from Leighton” he smirked

I felt my fist clinch tight as he continued talking breaking eye contact with me and turning back to Harry.

“Styles, how have you been? Your mate took Leighton from you.” He paused long enough for a breath but not long enough for Harry to respond “But, I hear you’ve moved on to someone new, but yet not new at all”

He walked around so that he was standing right next to Amelia, he put his arm around her shoulders and she tensed under his touch.

“Whats the name I’m looking for”

Harry had his hand clinched into tight fist and his jaw was clamped tight, his stare was fixed on Nathan and he was turning a deep red. Harry was gonna snap and I wouldn’t be able to stop him if he did.

Nathan looked over to Amelia “Whats your lads name again?”

Amelia looked at him with her brow raised “Louis”

“Ahh that’s it!” he looked back at Harry “you’ve mo-“

Nathan fell to the floor with his lip split open, his hand flew up to grab his mouth but Harry caught it and yanked him back up.

“You will shut your fucking mouth!” Harry yelled

Harry raised his hand back and balled it into a fist, he was about to punch Nathan again with a voice shouted behind us!

“Styles, Horan!” we turned to see the principal Mr. Grimshaw standing behind us “My office now, and bring Tomlinson, Malik and Payne! Five minutes lads!” he turned and walked away

We turned back around to continue with Nathan but he was gone.

Fucker.

Liam POV

We sat in Grimshaws office and waited for him to come back, I couldn’t look at Zayn. I still felt like he wanted to kill me ever though Jes said it was okay.

“Why the fuck are we in here” Louis spoke

“Nathan goes here now.” Harry answered “I hit him”

“Of course you did Curly, you can’t control your temper for two fucking seconds can you?” Louis spat at him, but it felt like more than him being annoyed about the fight. Louis wouldn’t even look at Harry and Harry looked sad

“In all fairness Lou” Niall spoke “He was about to tell Amelia about you and Harry”

Louis eyes flicked up his blue eyes meeting Nialls, then he looked over to Harry. As soon as Harry returned his look Louis hissed “You should’ve just fucking let him tell her. I don’t even care anymore, both of you are annoying as hell! Shes a clingy mess and you are nothing but a head fuck” he crossed his arms over his chest looking at Harry then back to the floor

“Lads calm down” I tried to sooth

“Shut up Liam” Louis and Harry groaned

“no both of you shut up! You two are acting like teenage fucking GIRLS!” Zayn shouted turning back to look at me and smiling

“Thanks mate” I muttered

He was about to reply when Grimshaw slammed the door open.

“First things first” he looked all of us in the eye “Leave Nathan Alone!”

“He started it!” Niall defended

“SECONDLY!” Grimshaw yelled waving Niall quiet “I know one of you has been breaking into the cars here, and when I find out who it is… you will be arrested!”

I sat there in shock; I didn’t know anything about that! I was about to respond when Zayn let a laugh escape his throat

“Something wrong Malik?” Grimshaw questioned

“No mate, I’m good. Are we done?”

“No, Leighton and Harry. No more screaming and fighting each other in the halls please save your petty drama for before or after school hours” he took a breath “Niall, I thought you would have made better decisions in friends, I’m a little more than disappointed in you.”

He kept talking but I zoned out I looked around at my group of friends wondering if we really knew each other anymore. We lie to each other constantly. We needed to do something so we could be as close as we used to be. Grimshaw dismissed us from his office and we walked out the front door, all deciding that we didn’t want to be in school today.

“Mates” They all turned to look at me “I say after this week of midterms we head to the twins cabin for a week during winter break and get to know one another again”

They are groaned and rolled their eyes, “Whats the point Liammm, we’ve known each other for years there’s nothing else to learn” Harry muttered

“What has Zayn been doing every night after we leave him”

“He- I, I don’t know sleeping”

I laughed “no”

“When Lou isn’t with you where is he?” he winced at the idea

Louis POV

I rolled my eyes and Liam’s dumb idea, I didn’t want to be trapped in a cabin with Harry. Right now I think I hate him, all he does is make me fall deeper in love with him and then he rips my heart out. Over and over and over again.

I was about to reject his idea when Leighton spoke. “Yeah lets to it lads, it’ll be great. Drinking, playing games, sleeping all day doing whatever we want.”

“I don’t know Leighton I don’t really want to be around someone right now”

“THAT’S WHY WE’RE DOING IT LOUIS!” She yelled at me pulling me closer to her

“if anything you can invite Amelia eventually and torture Harry until he cant stand to be away from you” she whispered in my ear.

It was weird, her giving me advice about how to deal with Harry, but maybe it would work.

“Fine” I groaned after everyone else agreed.

I turned and started walking to my car when I heard an annoying laugh behind me.

“Lou, how are you okay with dating someone who used your sister as a beard?” Nathan laughed “how can you even do that, I mean he has to be great in the sack for you to be okay with that” he slid a finger up my arm making me shiver, I turned to look behind me seeing the lads and Leighton’s eyes on us. Nathan leaned in closer to my ear, I could feel his eyelashes on the side of my face “You know, I’m ready to upgrade from Leighton” I could feel his lips on my ear.

He pulled away and started to walk passed Harry when he turned around “Let me know when you’re done with asswipe here! I’ll show you real fun” he winked and shoved passed Harry.

Asshole.

I pulled into my front drive and got out of my SUV when I was slammed against the hood of my car and a pair of lips were attacking my neck. I pushed them off only to see Harry looking at me angrily. Before I could speak he was pulling towards my front door and snatching my keys out of my hand.
