Bad Influence

76

I gave myself one final look in the mirror before I applied a little bit of lipstick. "Hey, you ready to go?" Liam asked. I looked at him and nodded. "Why are we meeting up with them again? I can understand Nikki, but why Chad?" Liam asked. I fixed my hair before I walked over to him. "Because, Nikki is dating this guy, and I love her, so we're doing this for her. Be nice alright? Nikki says he's changed since he bullied Lou, just don't tell Lou and we'll be fine." I explained. Liam nodded and kissed the top of my head. "Fine, for Nikki and you, not for Chad." Liam agreed. I smiled and looked at him. "Thank you for doing this, it means a lot." I said. Liam smiled. "I'd do anything for you, even if we were't together. But you know that." Liam said. I nodded. "I know." I told him.

We were meeting Nicole and Chad just outside the cozy and private Italian restaurant that me and Liam went to. Both me and Liam had sort of decided that the restaurant would be our place. Nicole and Chad were waiting when we arrived. It was weird seeing them together like that. His arm were around her shoulder, but there was something weird. Nicole seemed nervous, almost jumpy, maybe even a little scared. I decided to ignore it for now, maybe she was just nervous. It was also weird seeing Chad without Chester and Brad. "Hey." I said and gave Nicole a hug. "Hey." Nicole said with a smile. "You both remember Chad." She said. I smiled a little. "Hello Chad." I said. "Hey Angel." Chad said. I brought him in for a quick hug. "And I bet you both remember Liam." I said. Nicole smiled and pulled Liam in for a hug. "Of course I remember. You're the one who broke my best friends heart, but don't worry. Angel has done nothing but made me realize that you're treating her right." Nicole said. Liam laughed a little. "Well, I'm glad you don't want to murder me anymore, that would be bad. With the whole album, tour and being Angel's boyfriend thing, you know?" Liam joked. We all laughed, even Chad. "Shall we go inside? This place has the best food, trust me." I said. Chad opened the door and we all walked in. We got the table me and Liam always sat at near the window. "So, tell me. How did you to end up together?" I asked. "Well, I was actually working for Nicole's dad during the summer. And she also worked there and we started talking and hanging more and more out, you know, just the two of us. And then I started to get feelings for her, and Chester were totally nagging me about it, even in front of her, so I asked her out. And she said yes, and we've been together ever since. Of course it was hard when I found out I was going to a school in London and she was going to stay in Doncaster, but I asked her to move with me, and she said yes. And here we are." Chad told us. I smiled. "That's sweet. How is Chester doing?" I asked. I think everybody knew I didn't give a rats ass about Chester and that I really were asking about Brad. Chad smiled. "Chester is doing great. He's going to school in Manchester." He said. I nodded. "We still keep in touch, you know, me, Chester and Brad." Chad said. "That's nice." Liam said. Chad nodded. "So you and Louis are in the same band huh?" Chad asked. Liam nodded. "Yeah, with three other amazing dudes. It's really crazy. We both auditioned for the X-Factor and ended up in the same band together. And then we all spent a week at Harry's beach house and Louis brings Angel along. And that was crazy too. I haven't talked or seen her since we broke up. And she of course were so pissed and mean to me all the time, I tried to apologize but she wasn't having any of it. It literally took me a year before she forgave me and decided to give me a second chance as a friend. Then another month before we started dating."  Liam said. Nicole laughed. "It's typical Angel." She said and Liam nodded.

I noticed that Nicole kept being nervous and jumpy through out the whole dinner. I was really wondering why. "Hey Nicole, can I ask you something?" I asked. She smiled. "Sure." She said. I smiled. "I was just wondering if you had to go home tonight or if you maybe wanted to stay at mine? We could have a sleepover like the good old days and then you could meet Louis and all the other boys. What do you say?" I asked. Nicole smiled. "That sound like fun, I'm in." She said. It looked like Chad were about to say something, but he backed out of it. "Is the cheating bastard going to be there?" Nicole asked me. I smiled. "Yeah, he lives across the hall, so obviously." I said. Nicole smirked. "Then I can tell him what happens when you fuck over my best friend." She said. "I would rather you didn't. We're okay, even if he was a dick." I said. Nicole shook her head. "Oh no, I'm gonna give him a pice of my mind, don't you worry." Nicole said. I sighed and took a sip of my wine. "That's what's worrying me." I said.

Chad kissed Nicole good night before she walked home with us. She seemed more relaxed now, and that was weird. I had to talk to her about it later. Luckily Matt were going to stay at Niall's tonight. We had texted the other boys and told them that Nikki would be sleeping over and they all were thrilled to meet her. Nicole were talking and laughing and being her old self, totally different form who she was at dinner. "Alright, here we are. Now, this door is the door to mine, Louis and Liam's apartment and the door straight across the hall are the door to Zayn, Harry and Niall's apartment." I told her as Liam locked us in. I was not surprised to see everybody gathered in the living room. I looked at Nikki and smiled a little. "I'm so sorry for this but every time someone new comes home we sit here and greet them." I said. Nicole smiled a little. She seemed more nervous now, but not as bad as she had been at the dinner. "Alright hyenas, this is Nicole." I said. "It's nice to meet you Nicole, I'm Matt. And trust me, Angel has told me so much about you. Even back in Paris." Matt said and gave her a smile. Louis stood up and gave her a hug. "It's nice to see you again Nikki." He said. Nicole smiled. "It's nice to see you too Boo Bear." She said. Louis smiled ad Niall introduced himself. "I'm Niall." He told her. She smiled. "And I'm Zayn and it's very nice to meet you." Zayn said. Nicole nodded as Harry stood up. He walked over and pulled her in for a hug. "And I'm Harry. It's so nice to finally meet you. Angel told me lots about you when I visited her and Lou in Doncaster, but she forgot to mention how incredible gorgeous you are." Harry said with a little wink. Nicole looked at me, then at Harry. "Alright curly. Let me guess, this works on all the chicks right? You wink at them, tell them they look beautiful and then they'll sleep with you. Well, I'm not like them. One, you hurt my best friend and you then have the nerve to hit on me? Second of all, I have a boyfriend. And thirdly, you can fuck off because I'm not going to sleep with you, date you, or fall in love with you. So give up little boy, give up." Nicole said. Harry smirked. "I like a challenge, you just wait and see Nikki." He said with a wink before he sat down.
