Is This Real?

Jonah's POV
"CORBYN!!" I yelled from my bed. Corbyn comes running to my room with a worried expression.
"What's wrong! You good?" He said between breaths
"Nikki said to talk to you about last night. Something about you found her? What is she talking about?"
"Oh yea. I got up at like 5:30 to go on a walk and call Christina, and when I walked out of my room I found her K.O.d in front of Daniel's door, I went to pick her up and she swung her arms into my chest practically screaming 'No Kai! Get away from me!' When she realized it was me she passed out again."
"Kai?! What does Kai have anything to do with this!" I asked somewhat angrily bringing Daniel into the room as well.
"What's going on?" Daniel asked
"Jonah got a threatening text from Nikki's brother because he thinks Jonah did something to her last night" Corbyn said before I had the chance. Daniel instantly had a mixed expression of anger and sadness as Corbyn showed him the pictures of her and I laying together, then the picture Brenden had sent me that morning.
"What did you do Jonah!! You just met her!" Daniel responded sternly
"I didn't do anything! Nikki said it was Kai and Corbyn said when he found her passed out outside YOUR door last night that she was yelling for Kai to go away. She isn't even ho-" I heard a door close. Then someone yell for Sage. It has to be Nikki. I sprint downstairs and see Nikki running, frantically, around the house.
"Where's Sage?! I need to talk to her before I tell you guys anything." She said shaking as she tried to drink her coffee.
"I think she's still in bed with Jack" Zach shouted from the top of the stairs. Within seconds Nikki is at Jack's door. As she opens it I hear Jack's girlish scream followed by Nikki saying "Sage, it happened again... he's back"
"You guys can't kick me out of my own room!" Jack yelled as the door was slammed into his face.
Nikki's POV
"What happened! What did he do this time!" Sage said taking my hands and seeing the bruises on my wrists.
"Well I got up last night at like 3:30 or so to get a water bottle, and I remembered Daniel showed me they were in a pantry closet down the hall from the kitchen. I get down the stairs and I see that the sliding door to the backyard is open slightly but I didn't think anything of it. I assumed Logan left it open when he left so I closed and locked it. I go to the pantry and I can't find the light switch, again. All of a sudden I hear his voice behind me. 'Did you miss me?' He whispered in my ear. I tried to run away but he wouldn't let me. He did it again Sage.." my voice began breaking "I don't know how he knew I was here or how to get in... I don't know who else I can go to. I know Jonah is going to want to know, and the rest of the guys but I don't want to tell them what he did to me." I burst into tears, but quickly stopped when I heard the door open.
"Nikki get your stuff we're going home" it was Brenden.
"Tell Brenden, he'll know what to do" Sage whispered to me. I nodded and told Brenden to come in and shut the door; I could see five worry filled guys standing outside.
"I tried to run away, run to Jonah, or Daniel, or Corbyn, or anyone but he caught my hair and pulled me into him. He took me outside and gagged me with a wet piece of cloth.. I remember him gagging me was him pushing me onto the ground and him standing over me with a disgusting look. The next thing I know, Corbyn is trying to pick me up off the ground and then waking up in Jonah's arms. He didn't do anything Brenden I swear. It was all Kai. Out of all the guys 'making a move' Jonah is the least of your worries." I looked up at Brenden tears streaming down his and my face.
"I'm so sorry that happened to you, I shouldn't have acted out before I found out what happened. I have to apologize to Jonah I will be right back. Then we are going home." Brenden said hugging me and going for the door. As he pulled the door open, Jonah, Daniel, Jack, and Zach fell into the room. Corbyn was standing behind them, he ran away a few seconds later. "Well you don't have to worry about telling them now. Jonah, can I talk to you for a minute?" Jonah got up, mouthed sorry to me and he and Brenden walked out.
Daniel immediately came over to me and practically fell on top of me hugging me. "I am always here for you Nikki if you need someone to talk to! I promise you that!"
"Thank you Daniel, I just want to forget this happened." I said as he broke the hug.
"I have one question thought." He said looking at Jack who then whispered into Sage's ear and the two of them left the room.
"What's up Daniel? Is everything ok?" I asked placing my hand on his on the bed.
He looked flustered but began asking his question. "Jonah said that Corbyn found you outside my room this morning.. why were you coming to my room last night?"
"I am not quite sure, but I think it had something to do with what you did last night before Logan got here. I still don't believe it actually happened." Daniel turned more towards me and held my hands.
"It did happen Nikki, I am glad I did it" he said laughing, then got serious. "I did it because after you left the show, Jonah was talking about how cool you were and he made me realize that you are really fun, and caring, and sweet, and I really like that. I would do it again if I could." He said looking down at my hands then back into my eyes. I met his gaze and slowly leaned into him, I got close to kissing him and heard Jack outside the door.
"I'm sorry Brenden, you cant go in there, Daniel and Nikki are having a private conversation about last nights events." Jack then kicked the door that flew open seconds later. I jumped back, pulling my hands away from Daniel.
"Nikki let's go, you can talk to these guys later." Brenden said grabbing my hand dragging me out of the room.
"I'll call you." I said to Daniel and Jonah before Brenden and I left their house.
