Sorry for the extreme long wait, school's killing me.
After the incident, I ran off to a small café, since it was way too cold to stay outside. A lot of men stared at me, desirably. I shuddered as I took a seat at the bar, as far away from those creeps as possible. My head is hurting like hell from the beating and I really didn’t feel well. I wiped the remainders of my mascara away from my eyes and laid down some money. ‘Give me something good,’ I mumbled as the bartender gave me a questioning look. ‘I bet you’re not 21 yet, but I guess I’ll make an exception, you look like you need it,’ he said, winking at me. He was very handsome; he looked somewhat Italian or Greek, he had a slight stubble and had the most mesmerizing, green eyes. I believe he must be somewhere in his mid 20s. ‘Wanna talk about it?’ he asked as I took a sip. I sighed and looked up at him. ‘My boyfriend beat me up, because he saw me with another guy, who happens to be my best friend, even though I might have feelings for him… I think.’ The bartender pursed his lips and looked like he was thinking as he slightly nodded at me. ‘Sweetheart, I only got two things to say. One, you don’t deserve someone who beats you up. And two, don’t think, babe, follow your heart.’ I nodded and quickly drank my drink. ‘You are right, thank you!’ ‘No problem, sweetheart,’ he said, winking at me again. I smiled back at him and left the bar, ignoring the staring creeps.
Again I shuddered, but I doubted it was because of the cold. I looked behind me and saw a boy, only a few meters behind me. Shit! This can’t be good! I have to get out of here. I started running and as I look back, the boy started running too. I started to panic, but when I got to the boys’ house, the boy was gone. I took a relieved breath, just as Zayn answered the intercom. ‘Who’s there?’ ‘Zayn, it’s me, Demi, can I come in?’ Immediately the gate opened and I wasted no time, running for the door and saw Zayn opening it. ‘Come in babe,’ he said, closing the door behind me. ‘Oh eh, and don’t look at my clothes, I look horrible…’ He scratched the back of his neck and looked away uncomfortable. Oh, Zayn, always being so vain. See what I did there? He was wearing sweatpants, a plain tank top and his hair wasn’t up in his usual hairstyle, but just flat on top of his head. ‘Aww, don’t worry honey, you are still very sexy,’ I grinned as I ruffled his hair. He slapped my hand away and tried to fix his hair. I laughed at him and turned around when I heard people walking down the stairs. Well, walking…. more like stomping. And there were Harry and Niall, dressed in only their boxers. I didn’t even care that I was staring at their delicious bodies. Sue me. ‘Demi, what the-? What are you doing here?’ Niall said, trying to hide his body. Harry didn’t seem to care, since he shrugged his shoulders and made his way into the kitchen. Niall’s face was as red as a tomato. ‘Awh, Niall, don’t be shy, she loves your body!’ Harry says grinning, ‘But not as much as my body, of course!’ he exclaimed, doing a little ass-shake for me. I rolled my eyes at the crazy, cocky boy and turned to Niall again. ‘Sure, Harry, you have an amazing body, but Niall’s much sexier, you know that!’ I said grinning, making Niall even redder – if that was even possible. Harry huffed and stuck his tongue out at me. ‘Niall, can we talk?’ He knew I was serious and pulled me into one of the rooms upstairs. ‘Daniel and I got in a fight. He threw me out, is it okay if I stay here for a while?’ ‘Well, eh, of course you can stay here!’ ‘Thanks Niall,’ I whispered, trying hard not to cry. ‘No problem, you know that, right. But are you okay?’ I lifted my shoulders and looked away. ‘Well, it was a pretty intense fight. Just need to get over the shock. And there was just some creep behind me on my way over here, so I’m still shaking.’ He put his arms around me and pulled me in for a hug. ‘You are save now, sweetheart, I’m here. And next time, call me so I can pick you up, okay? I don’t want you wandering around late at night.’ I smiled and fought against the tears, threatening to escape my eyes. We stayed like this for a while, until the door opened, revealing an almost completely naked Liam. He only had a towel around his waist, his hair was still damp and his body still had some water droplets on them. He looked completely mouthwatering. ‘Demi, what are you doing here? Are you okay?’ he asked, slightly awkward, but I knew he was concerned. All I could do was stare at his amazing body – it was the best thing I’ve ever seen. Except for his cute face, of course. Niall pinched me and I snapped out of my daydream. ‘Well, eh, I’m staying the night, but I’ll go away so you can get dressed.’ I walk right passed him, looking into his eyes with a seductive look and let my eyes travel down his body. I could see him shiver in delight. I smirked as I continued to walk. What’s up with all these almost naked guys today?!
‘I thought Liam was going to faint when he saw me!’ I said to Niall as we both laughed. Also Niall was still in his boxers, so he went to his room and pulled on a sweatpants and a t-shirt. I plopped down on the couch next to Harry who was watching a horror movie, with a bag of chips on his stomach and still only in his boxers. ‘Don’t you have any clothes?’ ‘No, babe, I do this to seduce you,’ he said, wiggling his eyebrows at me. ‘Harry, that’s sweet of you…’ I said, trying to contain my laughter, obviously failing. ‘Are you laughing at me?!’ he asked, pouting. ‘You’ll regret this!’ he said as he started to poke my sides. I started giggling and it only got worse when I tried to ask Niall for help, but instead of helping me he started poking my other side. ‘Someone help me!!’ I yelled as loud as I could. I heard someone come down and saw Liam appear in my eye-sight. ‘Help me, Lili, they wanna kill me!’ Liam chuckled and pulled me from between the boys. ‘Thanks Liam, you are my savior!’ I giggled, hugging him. ‘Where’s Angie, by the way?’ Harry asked all of a sudden. I jumped out of Liam’s arms. ‘Shit! I need to go get her!’ I said, starting to panic. How could I forget her?! ‘I’ll go with you, I’ll go get my car keys,’ Liam said, walking away.
‘Thanks again Liam, for taking me,’ I said, as we stopped in front of the apartment. ‘No problem at all,’ he said, flashing me his best smile. I breath in relief when I see that Daniel was not there. I saw Angie sleeping on the couch. I gave her a kiss on the top of her head, and her eyes opened slowly. ‘Come on, babe,’ I said, gently picking her up, while I asked Liam to get food and litter box. Also I grabbed some of my clothes quickly before we left again. And this time for good.

As I looked next to me, I could see Niall fast asleep. He had his arms wrapped around me, but it didn’t comfort me. I just couldn’t stop thinking about what Daniel had done to me. 2:45. Why aren’t I asleep right now? I slowly untangle myself from Niall and make my way into the kitchen. Maybe a glass of milk will help.. ‘Can’t sleep either?’ a voice behind me asked, startling me and I turned around. ‘Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you,’ Liam said, a small smile playing around his lips. I smiled back. ‘It’s okay. And, no I can’t…’ His hand travels up to my face and wipes something wet from my cheek. I didn’t even realize I was crying. ‘Did he give you a hard time today?’ Liam asked, continuing to stroke my cheek. I nodded, holding back the tears. ‘Yeah, it could’ve been better… he got so angry.’ Liam sighed. ‘I’m sorry.’ ‘Don’t. You made me so happy that day.’ We both smiled at each other. ‘Really?’ I nodded again. ‘Well, good. I just want to see you happy,’ he said. I couldn’t reply. No one has ever been this sweet to me, except for Daniel, but now Liam said it, I believed him. I believed he wanted what’s best for me. Again he wiped away some tears as he stared deeply in my eyes with his beautiful chocolate brown ones. His face inches closer, until our lips finally touch.
