Being Simon Cowell's Niece

If You Insist

"Boys wait please!" I yelled,screaming after them, chasing them all the way to the parking deck. "Please." I said as they got in the car. The car engine started. I ran behind the car, preventing them from leaving. If they were that mad and wanted to leave, then they would have to run over me to be able to leave. Louis honked the horn furiously. I saw the car start backing up. I didn't move a muscle. I knew he wouldn't do it. "God damn it Lilly, move!" Louis yelled. "Let me speak to Liam then." I snapped back. I saw one of the car doors open and Liam got out. He walked over to me and pulled me to the side. As the car backed out, Louis flicked me off. Liam gave him a death glare as he drive away.

"Liam...I'm sorry." I said. "Lilly, its okay. Louis is just being over dramatic." he said. 

"No Liam, you don't understand." I said, as the boy looked at me puzzled. His fingers fidgeted around.

"Abbey was like my escape. The only way to vent out things. I-I do get bullied. That day I didn't trip, I got spaghetti dumped on me. I didn't want to tell you guys because I thought you would only laugh at me. But now I only see that it made everything worse. I tried telling Demi but its not the same when she isn't here." I choked.

Liam lifted his hand and wiped my tears away. "Listen to me Lilly. It's okay. Louis  was being the ass hole he is when he feels left out. Lilly, you could have told me about the bullying. I know what it feels like as I have told you before, but I do understand what you mean when you said you were scared. I'm here for you, and so are the boys. It may not seem like it now, but they're just acting like stupid-heads right now." Liam said.

He wrapped one arm around me. We stood there in silence. It wasn't awkward, it was the good kind. My tears dried on my face. "So...um...how are we getting home?" He asked. I laughed,"I have my car." He looked like he was dumbstruck. We drove home, listening to music. "Hey Lilly, if you ever need anything, I'm here." he said, as we pulled in the driveway. I smiled in return.

We walked in the house together.The rest of the four boys ran up to me and started apologizing. "We all know I'm the one who has the best apology." Louis said. I rolled my eyes."Lilly, can I talk to you?" Niall asked. He looked at me with puppy eyes. "Okay." I said. We walked to the kitchen, leaving the rest of the boys in the living room. "Lilly, I really am sorry. It  was wrong of me to do that. I guess I was just so....shocked. Anyway it was wrong." The irish boy said. "It's okay the Irish Leprechaun." I responded. His eyes widened. "How did you know that was me? Out of all people!" He said.

I chuckled. "Well you are Irish so I took a wild guess. Your eyes just proved it all. So who is the lucky girl you like?" I asked. He didn't respond, only crossing his arms and facing the opposite way. I nudged him a little. "Oh come on Niall, you can tell me." I joked around. "No I can't" He mumbled. "Niall! Okay well then....just tell her then." I said. "It isn't that easy..." He trailed off. "Well you could just show her then." I said. He then turned around and looked at me. "Fine, if you insist." He said, grabbing my waist and pulling my face towards him, making our lips meet.
