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

Re-lapse

Niall's POV*

What is wrong with me? What have I done? I've got myself caught up with that bitch again.. How could I be so fucking stupid! She wreaked Ed and Harry's friendship, they where the best of friends.. Till she came along, I got caught up with her as well.

"Niall, snap out of it mate. What's on your mind?" Ed asks dragging me over to the counter, I look at in the eyes. He knew what I have done.

"You didn't.. Please tell me.. You didn't promise her that you would do anything to get Cinder back.." He said hitting his head against the counter, I lifted his head by tugging on his flaming red hair.

"Calm down, it's okay. She will never mean anything to me." I didn't even believe myself when I said that, but se doesn't, she doesn't mean anything.. Cinder means everything to me.. Everything.

I stood up straight and walked towards the door, I was going to see Liam, I needed to see him. I know I have Ed and we are close but he still doesn't know much about Cinder.. Not like Liam or Zayn do.

"Niall, where are you going?" Ed asks as I grip my hand on the door knob.

"I'm going to see Liam.. Want to come with?" I ask, I look at him as he shakes his head, I didn't want to leave him alone, especially with Harry and the witch.

"Okay, I wish you luck here. Make sure that bitch doesn't touch anything of mine." I watch him shake his head before I exit, I walk into the hall pulling out my phone and scrolling down my contacts before stopping at 'L'. I press the first person I could talk to.

"This is Liam, whatcha need?" I hear his voice say, I feel my voice start to crack as I speak.

"I need help." I say, as that was all I could get out. Liam told me he would pick me up in 5, he was at the gym down the road.

I hang up and walk into the elevator, no one was in there but me, as the doors close I drop to the floor and start to ball my eyes out. I'd just lost the love of my life.. to Harry.

Cinder's POV*

***

I open my eyes to see Swifty looking at me, where am I? What's going on? Questions flood my head as I start to sit up.

"Are you okay? What's wrong? What happened today?" He asked softly, I felt the tears rush down my face as I remember what happened. I felt Swifty pull me closer to him and holding me tight, I have nothing to say, I can't even speak. I miss Niall, I love him and I miss him.

"No, I'm not.. Niall yelled at me and-and he punched H-Harry. I w-walked out and came home.. I m-miss him s much t-though!!" I stutter and start to cry again, Swifty hugged me tighter trying to comfort me, he was doing well at it too.

"Shuu, it's okay, he can't hurt you anymore. It's okay, everything will be alright." I knew his words where a lie, I went along with it trying to convince myself it would be 'all right' but deep in the bottom of my heart I knew that it wasn't true.

I look down at my shaking body to see the blood on my body, dried completely. I struggled to move my body because of how much blood had dried on me and how painful it was, Swifty lifted me up and sat me on the toilet set and started to clean my body of blood.

"It must have been pretty bad to make you unconious for at least 4 hours." He said, I've been out longer but it almost killed me. The amount of blood I loose when I cut is amazing, 4-5 pints to be precise.

"At least I didn't have to be submitted to hospital this time." I say smiling trying to lightening the mood.

"Ha ha, very true. But he must have hurt you pretty bad to make you do this.." He trailed off, our smiles had faded at the idea.

"It's my fault. It's all my fault.." I say.

"It's not, you whee just in the wrong place at the wrong time."

"No.. It is my fault.. It's my fault that he yelled at my and hurt Harry.. Harry and I kissed a while back, it is my fault.. Harry blurted it out when Niall and Harry where yelling at each other.. It slipped out." I say, I look into Swiftys eyes as we both start to cry. I ended up explaining everything that happened as he continued t clean me up, from how I got to kissing Harry to the girl they where fighting about called 'Ellie'.

***

It has been 2 hours and we have been talking in my bathroom the whole time, I heard footsteps coming from outside my bathroom door.

"Cinder, you alright?" I hear Hunters voice say, I stood up and stumbled towards the door and opened it and inch to see him leaning against the door frame.

"I'm alright, why?" I ask.

"Someone is here to see you, I'll leave and let them in in a moment and you can come out when you are ready. Love Cinder, hope you are feeling okay." Hunter said before leaving the room, I shut the sliding door properly scared to see who is on the other side of the door. I look to Swifty as he shrugs, either of us knew who it was, what if it was Niall? What if he came here to soft everything out?

I walk slowly over to the door and open it gradually, I saw a figure in the room, it was too dark to make out who it was. I walk towards the person, they had their back to me. As I got closer I started to see their hair, it was curly and dark brown.. Harry.

I stopped in my tracks as I realised who it was, I was scared to look at him, scared to see the damage that Niall had done to him..

"Hey Cinder.." He whispered softly, the room still dark, only the light from the bathroom and the streetlights outside provided light. I watched as he turned around, his face not visible.

"Hey Harry." I say back. I watch as he steps closer to me, he steps into the light coming from the streetlight outside my window. He stopped, his face was bruised, a split lip and a blood stain on the side of his chin. His green orbs where no longer as bright as they where, they are dim. This isn't the Harry I met at school, nor the Harry that kissed me, not even the Harry I saw at Niall's place while they fought. That Harry was gone.. This Harry was new.. Not in a good way.

"I came to say sorry, sorry that Niall yelled at you, sorry that I let slip that I kissed you. I didn't mean for anything to happen between you and Niall.. Ellie is an old girlfriend he had.. I've liked her for a while.. Our mate Ed dated her too, she broke up with Niall for Ed and Ed for me.. Niall and Ed hated each other because she made them think that she was single when she wasn't but she was dating the other. Niall got to Ed's place one night and caught them in bed together.. She told Ed that she was single, no longer dating Niall.. She lied. Niall got pissed at Ed and punched him and kicked Ellie out of his life. Ed never wanted to talk to Ellie again.. Ed explained the situation to Niall the next day through text and they where as close as Ed and I. I told Ed I was dating her and he disowned me as a friend.."

Everything came into place.. I wanted to apologise to Niall.. I miss him, I don't want him to yell at me though. We sat there talking till Swifty finally walked out of the bathroom.

"Hey Harry." He says walking over to us, Harry's face filled with shock as he saw my brother.

"Hey Swift." He says holding out his hand, Swifty gladly shakes it and pulls him into the bathroom. I follow after as Swift sits him down on the toilet seat where I had been sitting, I watch as Swifty grabs some new tissues and wets it under the tap. He leans in front of Harry and starts t clean him up, I lean in the door frame and watch my brother at work.

"You look nice." Harry says smirking, I look at him confused and look down to see I'm just in my underwear and bra. I rush into my room and throw on some baggy jeans and a t-shirt and walk back into the bathroom to see Harry still smirking.

"Shut it, Styles." I say trying not to smile as he winces at Swifty's work on his face, I hand Swifty some bandages and some other things to fix him up. By the time Swifty patched him up Harry had a disinfectant on his lip and a butterfly plaster above his eyebrow where Niall obviously hit him hard enough to split the skin.

"All done, you're all cleaned up now." Swifty says walking out of the bathroom and laying down on my bed.

"Thanks." Harry shouts out to my now sleeping brother.

"So why are you hear? You didn't just come to say sorry.. I know that or a fact." I say leaning against the basin.

"I've come to help you get Niall back."
