Forever and Always Direction

Story of My Life

~~~

There was about half an hour of Jazz and I just bumming around and then we hear yelling from the backyard. And I do not mean playful yelling like when the boys are out playing football (soccer). I mean like a screaming match. We look at each other with wide eyes and run for the back door.

Lila's POV

We got to the back door (me of course tripping on the way there) and I slid it open and we stepped out onto the patio. The shouting grew louder as we walked into the yard. Out near the end of the the yard Niall and Harry were shouting at each other. Louis was trying to hold Harry back, Zayn was trying to hold Niall back, but they were both failing miserably, and Liam was trying to calm them down. It sounded like they were drunk. I heard my name being said and I stopped short and held a hand in front of Jazzmyn so she would stop. I wanted to hear what they were yelling about so we ducked behind a giant bush to listen.

Harry's POV

The boys and I had gone out drinking earlier. Of course Niall and I had gotten the most wasted. Once we had gotten home we didn't really want to stay inside so we went out back. We started playing a game where we told secrets. And half way into it, it was Niall's turn.

"Well...I umm sorta tried to kiss Lila the other day"

"WAIT! MY Lila. Like my girlfriend Lila!!"

"Yeah..."

The rage inside of me was growing by the second. Why would he do that. He is supposed to my mate. My best friend. My fucking brother.

"WHY WOULD YOU TRY TO KISS MY GIRLFRIEND?!?!?"

I yelled while standing up from my seat in the grass.

"BECAUSE SHE'S FIT! IT'S NOT MY FAULT!"

Niall yells as he stands up. I knew this game would eventually lead to something bad. The rage inside of me was growing by the second. I had no control of my body. My fists clench, the heat in my face growing. I lifted my arm and punch Niall. He stumbles backwards regains his balance. And I feel a giant pain in my cheek. He had punched back. I was about to lunge forward at him until someone comes in front of me and wraps their arms around my neck and their legs around my hips. It's Lila.

Lila's POV

So that's what Niall was trying to do last week. I had been standing pouring a drink and Niall came up behind me and when I turned around he leaned in and I pushed him. I could smell the alcohol on him and he blushed and ran away. I haven't seen him since. But as I watched them, I saw Harry's fists clench and he punched Niall right in the jaw. I saw Niall stumble and that's when I stood up. I saw Niall punch Harry back. It looked like Harry punched Niall a lot harder. At this point I was running full speed towards Harry. As he was about to lunge and tackle Niall I wrapped myself around Harry and started whispering in his ear.

"Shhhh. Calm down Harry. I'm right here."

I could feel him struggling to get me off of him. But my legs are strong from dancing, so they won't budge. I took his face into my hands and made him look me in the eyes.

"Harry. Please. Just stop."

I cried. I felt him relax and he stopped struggling. I put our foreheads together and put a hand in his hair. I could smell the alcohol on his breath, and I could tell he was drunk.

Harry's POV

"Harry. Please. Just stop."

She was crying. I hate when she cries. It makes me want to kill whoever MAKES her cry. And right now that was me. I was making her cry. What am I doing? I relaxed as I realized I was scaring her and she put our foreheads together and her hand in my hair. She knows I love it when she does that. I feel terrible for making her cry. After a few minutes of us just in that position, I realized what had happened minutes earlier. I lifted my head and she unwrapped her legs from my waist and wrapped her arms around my chest and rested her head on there. I wrapped my arm around her and looked up to see Niall with a bloody nose and holding his swollen cheek. I was suddenly aware of the growing pain in my right cheek where he had punched me. I brought my hand up to touch it and Lila grabbed my wrist.
