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

Pain In Numbers

I woke up in Niall's room, I lift my head and look around. I look to see the bedside tables where filled with empty bottles of Vodka, Tequila, Champagne and Whiskey. How am I not hung over?

I realise that I'm laying on Niall's bare chest, I lift myself off him and sit upright in bed. I looked at my body, completely stripped to my bra and underwear. Shit, all my scars are showing. I swing my legs out of the bed, I felt something grip my arm pulling me back into bed. I close my eyes terrified of what would happen next, I feel a hot breathe on my neck.

"Hey babe." I hear Niall say, I felt his arm wrap around my waist while his lips go straight to my neck. I felt him nibble at my skin, causing me to wince.

"Morning babe." I say as he come back up from my neck to face me, I couldn't help but side my fingers threw his hair and tug.

"You're feisty this morning." He chuckles giving me a kiss, I pulled his hair more causing him to move so he is hovering over me.

"Fuck, why are we both like this this morning?" He asks putting his head in the crook of my neck and kissing it.

"I don't know but you're not helping." I say letting out a moan or two, I wrapped my legs around his waist as he started to travel down my body.

"Wait, what day is it?" He asks looking up at my face with terror, I think for a moment before answering.

"Um.. Sunday. Why?" I ask trying calm my body down.

"Shit! I have to go, I'll be back later though.. Maybe in an hour, possibly less." He says jumping out of bed and throwing on some old jeans and a tee shirt.

"I'll see you later then." I say looking upset, I look up and see he's staring at me upset. I watched as he jumped on the bed and pinned me down kissing me.

"We'll finish this later." He says before kissing me again before quickly leaving the room, I get up and walk into the bathroom. I jump into the shower and clean myself, I felt my legs start to give way, they where really sore. I couldn't help but feel like my body was destroyed.

"Hey Cinder! Can you come out here?! I need you for a moment!" I hear Harry shout from outside the bathroom door, I felt my heart drop, I collapsed in pain. What's going on with my body? Why am I in so much pain? What's happened to me?

I started to cry, I couldn't move. I reach up and turned off the taps, I pull myself on my feet and get out of the shower. I grab a towel and dry myself off, I put on a bra and some underwear and my jeans and shirt. I continued to cry at the pain in my legs, I hear Harry knocking on the door.

"Cinder? Cinder, are you okay? Are you crying? Can I come in?" He says causing me to cry even more.

"I can't move, my legs hurt too much! I can't move what so ever!" I yell in pain, I hear Harry start to laugh.

"You got drunk with Niall didn't you?" He says, I hear him start to giggle.

"No shit Sherlock!" I yell, pain still flooding my body.

"You two had sex.. a lot of it. Niall isn't used to having sex with virgins, he probably didn't realise that you couldn't handle it. Are you okay?" He says, how stupid is he? I just said I was in pain.

"NO, I'M NOT FUCKING OKAY!" I yell, I watch as he opens the door and looks at me with a smirk.

"I hate you.." I say as he picks me up and takes me over to Niall's bed.

"I love you too." He says sarcastically.

"I'll go and get you some pain killers and a bunch of chocolate, I'll sit in here with you for a while and we will watch some TV." He says walking out of the room, I decided to try and sleep it off.

Louis' POV*

I get up off Niall's couch to see that El was in the kitchen talking to Harry, I walk past the kitchen without them noticing and hear Pyro talking to Lottie in the spare room.

I open the door to see Pyro showing Lottie his arm, it was covered in scars. I step away from the door in shock, why did he do that to himself? Did Cinder know? What if she didn't? I rush into the kitchen and grab the milk out of the fridge and drink it from the carton.

I felt Eleanor's arms wrap around my waist.

"Morning sweetheart." I say turning around and kissing her on the cheek, she lets go and walks back over to the sink.

"Hey Lou, why don't you go and check on Lottie and Pyro?" Harry says look over at me from the cupboard.

"I already have, they are just talking." I say putting the milk back in the fridge, I look back up at Harry to see he has one eyebrow lifted at confusion filled his face.

"I heard Lottie screaming at him last night though.. They must have had a fight." He said, well, I heard them fighting the other day.

I didn't bother getting into it, what I had just seen on Pyro's arm I think I know the reason she was yelling at him. I couldn't help but feel like there was something more to it, something more important.

"Have we got anymore chocolate?" Harry asks.

"Yeah, Niall keeps his stash in the lounge room in the coffee table." I say closing the fridge, I walk back to the lounge room and sit on the couch. I felt El curl up to me on the couch and hugging me tight. I'm glad that Eleanor and I are together, there is no girl I'd rather have as my girlfriend.

Harrys POV*

I walk back into Niall's room after grabbing the pain killers and the chocolates, I look at Cinder on the bed, she was tossing and turning. I walk over and wake her up.

"Cinna, Cinna. Wake up, I have chocolate." I say nudging her.

"MmmmMmmm.." She groans, I couldn't help but laugh at her. I watch as she sits up an starts to stretch, I look at her beautiful hair. She was gorgeous!

"What.." she said dully, I look at her neck as she moves her hair. I look to see it was raw red, Niall had claimed her..

"I brought your pain killers and some chocolate." I say handing her a glass of water and the pain killers in one hand and the chocolate box in the other.

"Aww, thanks." She says taking the painkillers and water.

"Look, I have a friend for you to meet." She says after taking the pain killers, I look at her curiously.

"Who?"

"She's an old friend of mine." She says, I nod my head and we start eating all the chocolates, today seemed to be the best for a while.

Cinder's POV*

I sat on the bed with Harry for at least 20 minutes, we know almost everything about each other. I heard someone at the door.

"Cinder.. Can I talk to you for a moment.." I hear Pyro say from outside the door. I watch Harry give me a hug and leave.

"Come in buddy." I say, still not able to move my legs.

"Hey, Um.. Can I tell you something?" He asks sitting on the bed beside me, I nod as he goes on.

"Well.. I think... I think Lottie.. I think Lottie might be.. Um.."

"Spit it out bud." I giggle.

"I think that.. Lottie might be pregnant.." I felt my jaw drop, was he kidding me? Was he pranking me?

"You're joking.. Right?" I say, unable to take in his previous words.

"No.. Not at all.. And also this." He pulled up his sleeve for me to see more cuts along his arm, I watched as he burst out in tears. I hug him tightly for about 5 minutes, I felt the tears fall from his eyes onto my shirt.

"CINDER!" I hear Eleanor scream, I let go of Pyro and run to where El was screaming. I find her in the bathroom with Lottie passed out on the floor, cuts across her wrists and across her thighs. I stand there, I felt like I'd just been shot, I feel Pyro walk past me and walk towards Lottie. I watch as Pyro drops to his knees and starts to cry again, I couldn't move.

I felt someone walk to the bathroom, I knew who it was.. It was Louis.. I turn around and I see his eyes water, I hug him tight before running to the lounge room and grabbing the phone and calling an ambulance. I felt my legs give way, I drop to the floor. I couldn't move, I felt my head hit the ground making me loose conscious.

The last person I saw was someone coming in the lounge room, the last person I wanted to see when I was like this.. Niall.
