The Badboys Band

chapter 16

As i walked home i couldn't help but to ask myself so many questions.

Why did i go for Bradley?

Why did Axel hate me?

Why is he always calling me a slut?

Why do bad things always happen to me?

I just wanted to get run over by a bus countless times until my body is smashed to tiny bits.

Is that too harsh?

Nah I don't think so.

"Nicole!" i heard someone say

I turned around to find the source of the voice and i instantly regretted it. Of course Axel found me at this moment. He always seems to show up when im in shit.

"Hey I've been calling you for like 5 minutes" he said stepping in front of me causing me to stop and look at him.

Even though i was mad and wanted to scream, i was also sad and in pain. I felt broken and empty and because of that i couldnt find it in me to say anything. My mouth opened but all that came out was a high pitched sob causing me to erupt into Hysterical cry.

"hey hey stop crying" Axel said rubbing my back soothingly

"whenever you're sad and feeling blue, and you need a little joy in your life. Look up at the sky and see the smiling sun" he started to sing

That song.

That familiar song.

"And if the sun is still bright then so should your smile. Only frown in the dark when the sun is gone and no one can see you. I'll be right by your side on your darkest days forever because i love you" he finished

How does he remember that song.

Him and made it up when he was sad about failing his English test back in fifth grade.

"No you don't" i laughed. But my words got all mumbly as my face is burried between his neck and shoulder.

"Of course i don't you dork. I'm just trying to cheer you up" he laughed

"coz you care about me" i joked. But he didn't object. Weird.

" so what happened with your little boyfriend" he said changing the subject, his tone dripping with disgust.

"Dont you dare call that  backstabbing bitch ass man whore my boyfriend ever again!!" i shouted out into the almost empty street.

"finally you see him the way we do" he said dramatically flipping his hands up

I was going to continue but the tears had made another appearance.

"dont cry over that jerk
.i don't like you but even i know you're better than that"

"he used me Axel" i cried

"wait what do you men used you?"

"he...wait. Why am i telling you out of all people" i said letting out a little laugh. My pain was audible in that small laugh, i could feel it.

"this is no time to make stupid jokes Nikki just spill" he ordered. Okay this side of Axel kinda scared me.

"okay fine" i started.
He shifted showing me i've got his full attention.

I told him the full story from when they left me in music and when Bradly and i broke up without missing a detail.

"that bitch!" he yelled.

He's probably mad because Bradley made fun of him and the guys. I kinda wish he cared for me like that.

"yeah i can't believe he insulted you guys either. It wasn't cool" i said

"us? I don't care about that, he's called us worse. Its what he called you Im pissed at" he said clutching his fists.

"Axel it doesn't matte- "

"dont give me that shit Nikki...just...dont" he said holding up his finger to tell me to not talk again.

"why do you care" i said. The sobs louder now.

He didn't answer..instead he walked away but in the opposite direction leaving me standing alone for the second time today.

I knew one thing for sure. Even if it was just a little bit. I knew he cared.

I continued to walk but my feet didnt take me to my house were i can sit in my room listening to music as I stuff my face with junk food. Instead i walked to the place were i call my second home. The place were my self- chosen family lives.

I knocked on Liam and Haz's front door hoping they were home.

Liam opened the door and there he stood in the same clothes as before.

Before i managed to get any words out he engulfed me in a bone breaking Liam hug and i hugged him back with the same love.

"i thought you'd never come" he said and his voice broke showing that he was on the verge of tears.

"you're my best friend. Why wouldn't i" i laughed close to crying myself.

"I'm so sorry Nicole i shouldn't have-"

"shut up. I'm the one who's sorry" i said pulling away. "i shouldn't have dated him in the first place. He used me Liam" i said. Again, i told him what i told Axel. The entire story from start to finish.

"that motherfucking asshole!!" Liam yelled giving me an even worse reaction compared to Axel.

"Liam calm down" i said

"calme down?" he asked. "calm down" he repeated. "you're telling me to calm down? What do i look like, a heart broken teenager? Of course I'm calm!" he yelled while laughing

Okay this reaction is new.

Just then hazel appeared from her room which was just next door to the living room. She was probably sleeping and was awoken by all the screaming. She was a stress sleeper while iwas a stress eater.

This small house is what makes it home. How all the rooms are close to each other and everyone is close together all the time.

I smiled at that thought. Also at the sight of my other best friend.

"hey" i smiled. She just rolled her eyes at me..okay i deserved that.

"take it easy on her okay...she went through a tough breakup" Liam said

"she's not the only one who's been hurt in this world so why should i give her special treatment?"

Ouch

"I've gotta head out and um...do something" Liam said walking out before i could say anything. I know for a fact he's really mad, i just hope he doesn't land himself in trouble.

"Hazel we need to talk" i said

"no get out"

"you might not wanna talk hazel but you sure as hell gonna listen" i said ,mad now. She just nodded her head.

Good girl

I told her the story.

"oh my gosh Nicole" she said hugging me. "I'm such a bitch I'm sorry. I wish i was there to give that asshole a peice of my mind. No one talks to my sister like that"

"i love you Haz. And I'm sorry" i said smiling at her

"i love you too you crazy goose" she said squeezing me tighter and finally letting me go"

"your bro walked out and i dont know where he went" i told her

"shit...did you tell him about Brad?" she asked looking worried

"yes..." then it hit me. "you dont think..."

"yup" she said answering my unasked question

Lets just say...Bradly's gonna get it.
