Life, Love and Gangs. {Book 1} *In Editing*

Nando's Night?

***2 weeks later***

Cinder's POV*

It's been three weeks since I introduced Pyro and Lottie to each other. They have been getting closer and closer, they seem so cute together as well. Louis and I are good friends too, Lottie keeps hanging out with Pyro so Lou and I keep hanging out as well.

I can't help but wonder what Niall wanted to say to me 2 weeks ago, I honestly think that it was important. He hasn't mentioned it since though, so it mustn't have been too important.

"Hey Cinder! Time to get up!" I hear Swifty yell from behind my bedroom door, I get up and hop in the shower. I think about what day it is, it's Saturday.. Why am I getting up on a Saturday? I hop out and dry myself off, I throw on my black bra and underwear and chuck on A black long sleeve top and some bellbottom jeans.

"Hey Swifty! Why am I up on a Saturday?!" I yell downstairs, I hear him walking up the stairs. He stands in front of me and stares me in the eye before speaking.

"I got a message from Harry, he wants you to go to Niall's house.. Niall wants you." He says, I look at him as his smile becomes wider, I had no idea why but all well.

I grab a few things and head down stares, I give Swifty a hug before leaving. I realized that I have no ride.. That was smart. I give Lou a call and he said he'll pick me up in 5 minutes, I got hold of Harry as well to ask him why Niall wants me but I couldn't get anything out of him. Perfect..

Louis finally arrived.

"Hey Sweetheart, how ya doing?" He asks as I get in the car, I giggle at him calling me sweetheart.

"Save your 'Hey Sweetheart's' for Eleanor. And I'm good, how's Lottie?" I say giggling, Louis looks over at me and sticks out his tongue.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever.. Lottie has been acting a little odd recently, getting along great with everyone but.. when I see her by herself.. She's not the Lottie I know." He says as his smile fades, seems weird, Lottie seemed perfectly fine the other day.

"Oh, okay. Um.. Do you know why Niall wants to see me?" I ask him, steering away from the topic being Lottie.

"Um.. Yes but, I'm not allowed to tell you.." He trails off, the rest of the drive was silent besides Louis turning up the radio to hear the fray.

We arrived at Niall's, it was 11am. Why did he want me to come over so early on a Saturday? As we walk into his Complex (his house) and walk inside.

I look around to see the apartment was spotless, not like usual. There was new furniture, new lights, new everything. This couldn't be Niall's home, how could he have afforded this? I walk around looking for something familiar, I walk over to Niall's room and see that it's almost the same. I walk in to find a box on the bed, I walk over to see there is more than one box, there was 3.

I picked up the first box, about the size of a shoe box. I open it to see a gorgeous dress inside, it was a silver dress with a black pattern on it, a lot like my dress that Bella made for me. It looked amazing, I opened the next box. The box was a little smaller, I open it to see a four leaf clover necklace and also a ring with my name engraved into it. It was beautiful, it was Emerald and pure silver.

The third box was a little smaller, I open it to find a few notes inside.

The first one read: 7:00pm at Nando's. - Niall

Second read: I hope you like my gifts, please wear tonight. - Niall

Third read: I have a surprise for you, look in the bathroom. - Niall

I couldn't believe what he had given me already, I was amazed that there was more. I walked over to the bathroom and opened the door to find Zayn & Perrie standing there with a chair in front of them and a bunch of stuff on the sink bench. Looks like today is going to be interesting.

I walk over to Zayn and Perrie and give them each a long hug, I hear someone in the door way.

"Hey Cinna." I turn around to see Liam in the doorway with a envelope in hand, I walk over and give him a hug. I have no idea what's going on but it seem big!

"What's that?" I ask pointing to the envelope, he hands me it and I start to open it. I look inside to find there was $200 dollars inside, I was shocked. I didn't know what was going on, I almost fall but Zayn and Liam catch me.

"W-What's all this money for?" I ask in utter shock.

"It's for shopping, jewellery money!' Perrie says jumping a little.

"I'm taking you shopping! Come on! Let's get going!!" Perrie says dragging me to the front door, Liam also came along. Tonight is going to be interesting.



Perrie's POV*

This is going to be awesome! I love Cinna! She's awesome, she's fun, she's the best. I'm so happy that I get to take her shopping, she's the first girl who has actually been my friend since Zayn and I got together.

We arrive at the biggest Mall around and start shopping, I wanted to get her some things to add to her amazing dress. We went into some really amazing jewellery stores and got some gorgeous bracelets and earrings, we then went into the next store along which was a body jewellery and hair place.

I went looking for a nice nose stud for Cinna, I found a beautiful emerald stud and silver. I found some gorgeous black clips with white and silver patterns on them, there was soo much stuff that we can buy.

After 3 hours of shopping later we had finally got everything we wanted, soo many bags! We walk back to the car where we found Liam on the phone to Dani, they where soo cute together.

"Hey Li." Cinder says as she opens the door and chuck the bags in the front, we hopped in and drove back to Niall's. I couldn't wait to get everything organised! Tonight will be amazing for Cinder, I hope she enjoys herself.

Cinder's POV*

We arrive back at Niall's completely spotless apartment and get inside, it was getting late. It's was 5:07pm and we only just got back from shopping, Perrie rushes me into Niall's room and into the bathroom where Zayn was waiting with a drink of some sort.

They make me strip down and hop in the shower, obviously Zayn got out of the bathroom while I was having a shower, Perrie helped me get dressed and sat me down in the chair as Zayn came in and closed the door.

"Okay, let's get started shall we?" He says sculling the rest of his drink, I couldn't help but feel a little strange as soon as I feel Zayn start fiddling with my hair and Perrie starts applying my make-up. This could take a while..

After half an hour of getting me ready all my make up was finally done, I get up and look in the mirror, even though I was in my bra and underwear I still looked incredible, I actually look girly!

"Okay, let's get you into your Dress and Jewellery!" Perrie says jumping a little on the spot.

After about an hour I was dressed, wearing all my make-up, all my jewellery and my hair was done too. My hair was in a fish tail braid with strands of my fringe sat on the side of my face, as for my dress it looked amazing. It sat just above my knees and it was nice and snug, it covered the scars on my legs which I was grateful of. My bracelets where all silver and my earrings matched my necklace and the bracelets matched my rings.

"You.. Look... Amazing!!" Perrie screeches in excitement.

"You look gorgeous." Zayn says giving me a hug. I walk over to the door and walk out to see Louis, Liam and a now dressed up Harry.

"You look perfect!" Louis says.

"Fantastic." Liam says, I look over to Harry, terrified at what he will say.

"Beautiful." He says smiling, I felt a smile appear on my face. I couldn't wait for tonight, it will be very interesting.

"Come on, lets go. I'm taking you to the restaurant." Harry says standing up and taking my hand, I wave to everyone before leaving. We get down to the car and hop in, we stayed silent the whole drive. I couldn't think of why I was going to dinner with Niall, I'd get it if we where going clubbing but.. a restaurant? It doesn't seem like Niall...

Get out of the car and Harry takes me to the front of the restaurant, I was scared to see who would be inside.. who I would see? would I see the Niall I know? Harry pushed the door open and I look inside the door, no one was around. Only one or two couples where around, I was surprised about that too.

I look around, I couldn't see any familiar faces. Where was he? Have I been stood up?
