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

Homemade Pick Me Ups

Liam's POV*

Niall has been at my house for ages now, ever since he got inside of my door he has been moaning about Cinder, complaining about loosing Cinder, crying about Cinder.

"Niall, you need to make it up to her. You need to show her you're sorry." I say sitting in my comfy chair next to Niall on the couch. I felt like a therapist.

"I can't, she's probably scared shitless of me and she won't message me back!" He moans throwing the pillow over his face.

"Look Niall, I know how much you love this girl. She means a lot to you, you need to show her you care about her and you want her and that you are really sorry." I say standing up and marching into the kitchen, I walk straight to my cupboard and pull out a few 'things'.

I hear Niall roll off the couch and walk to the dining table and sit down, I could tell he know what I was making.

"You're not.. Tell me you're not." He says, his voice sounded happy and his face filled with disbelieve.

"I am." I state continuing to make my concoction.

I pull out my blender and my cake mixer, I am the only one in our group that can cook properly. I open the first bag and pour it into the cake mix along with the cake ingredients, I turn on the mixer and look at Niall, his face lit up as he saw what I was making.

"You're 'Homemade Pick me ups' aren't you, my god man, we haven't made these in months!" Niall says getting up and hugging me.

"Now, get me the baking tin from the pantry and also the chocolate and caramel syrup." I say pointing in the direction, I walk to my huge freezer and pull out a large tub of vanilla ice cream and set it on the bench.

"Here." Niall says putting the syrups on the counter with a bottle of whipped cream from the fridge.

"Cool, now. Should we invite the others? Or Should we eat alone?" I ask, I watch Niall as he scratches the back of his neck and starts to think.

"Everyone but Harry." He stated, I agreed and we called Louis and Zayn, they agreed and said the would be over in 20 minutes, just enough time for the cake to bake.

I put the cake mix in the oven and I started to make the first round of milkshakes, I put a shitload of chocolate syrup in the bottom of the 2 cups and then a scoop of ice cream, finally filling it with milk and putting them under the maker.

"Now, we just wait." I say to Niall sitting next to him at the table.

Louis' POV*

Zayn has just arrived to pick me up to go to Liam's, El is staying the night and at the moment she's asleep. I could hear Zayn honking out the front, I didn't want to wake her so I rushed outside and waved to Zayn telling him to shut it. I rushed back inside and left a note on the coffee table that she had fallen asleep in front of saying that I'll be back in the morning.

I kissed her on the forehead and ran outside, locking the door behind me of course and running to Zayn's car and pretty much smashing into it. I slid down the side of the car, I could hear Zayn burst out laughing from in side of the car, I stood up and opened the door and got in.

"You where meant to open the door when I'm running towards it, we discussed this last time!" I yell, Zayn was trying to calm his laughing to answer me.

"I know, but its soo funny when you run into the side." He says in between breaths.

"Next time I'll scratch the paint then!" I say, Zayn puts on a fake terrified face. We both start to laugh and get on our way to Liam's.

We didn't really know what we where going there for, he didn't say what we are doing tonight, he just told us to get our ass' over there.

We finally arrive at Liam's, as soon as we get out of the car I could smell food and hear milkshake makers. I look at Zayn and we both bolt to the front door yelling.

We burst in the door and I scream at the top of my lungs.

"HOMEMADE PICK ME UPS!!" We ran into the kitchen to see Niall and Liam laughing at the table with a slice of cake each, as they took a bit they started to laugh again.

"Where's my piece!?" I yell at them, I look at the cake on the table and walk over to it. I cut myself a slice and start to scoff it, as soon as I swallowed it started to work like a treat.

"I miss your pick me ups leeyum!!" I shout before I almost collapse to the ground, this cake was amazing!!

"MILKSHAKE TIME!!" Niall yells before getting up and walking over to the milkshake maker, I watch him start to make them.

Tonight.. Will be.. EPIC!!

Harry's POV*

I'd stayed the night at Cinders, I couldn't go home because Ellie was there.

I opened my eyes to see 4 boys surrounding me, I freak out and sit up.

"Who are you?" the smallest boy asked.

"I-I'm Harry." I stutter.

"I'm guessing you're Cinna's new boy toy?" The same boy asks.

"Um.. No, I'm her friend." I say, still a little shocked at the fact of everyone was still staring at me.

"Okay, why are you on my couch?" The eldest one of them asks, he looks older than me and stronger. I wasn't sure what to say.

"Back off him boys!" I hear a familiar voice yell, it was Swift. Thank god!

I watch as all the boys run off as he comes closer, he sits down on the couch next to me and ruffles my hair causing me to laugh.

"I want you to really help Cinder, she never really fully came out of depression. She was just holding on, now she's relapsed after 4 years. I want you to help her the best you can, you will be an amazing person if you can do this for her. And no messing this up, or you will have to deal with the whole family." He says, I felt my heart drop at the fact that I could be her last hope, the last person to help her.

"I'll try as hard as I can.. I won't let her down." I say giving Swift a weak smile.

I watch him smile and leave the couch, I'm her last hope.. Oh shit!

Niall's POV*

I open my eyes to find myself on Liam's bed covered in chocolate and caramel and shirtless, I couldn't figure out why I was on Liam's bed. I heard footsteps coming up the hall, my eyes where still blurry.

"FUCKING AWESOME NIGHT!" I hear Lou yell, I swear that boy will be the death of me. I stood up and let the syrup slither down to my black skinny jean. I walk to the bathroom and stripped off, I jumped into the shower and wash myself. I clean my hair and start to think about Cinder.

I then thought of what Ellie said to me.

***FLASHBACK***

"Okay, but you have to keep your word. I can always tell her your secret.."

"You wouldn't, you wouldn't dare."

"Or would I?"

***END OF FLASHBACK***

I rub the back of my neck and the inner of my arms, I remember my 'incident'.

***FLASHBACK***

"Greg, are you sure you want to do this?" I ask my brother.

"Of course! You're jut being a pussy! C'mon! Now, just watch me."

"I don't want to.. I don't want to do this, I-I'm not too sure.."

"Come on, come here." I felt my brother grab my arm and hold it out, I felt a sharp pain before it started to comfort me. I felt myself start to faint.

***END OF FLASHBACK***

Why did I do it? What was I thinking? Then it hit me.. MY BROTHER COMES OUT THIS YEAR!
