We entered the giant mansion and I kept my hand in Niall's as we walked through the crowd. There were so many people dancing and talking. I swore I even saw Justin Bieber. They were walking through the crowd and they finally stopped peeking over Niall's shoulder I saw Simon Cowell. They were talking with him with him for a long time but my focus on went to the man standing next to him. I squinted my eyes to see if I was right, it was indeed my older brother Ian. "Ian?" I said making my way past the boys.

"Samantha? Is that you?" He looked almost shocked like he had seen a ghost.

"Yes." I gave him a stern look he reached to hug me. I moved back, I still hated him for leaving me and my mother. Amazing how he thought I would actually still love him.

"Wow I haven't seen you in forever." He gave me that apologetic look. I wasn't buying it.

"Yeah I know. When you left me and mom, she worried about you every day." I couldn't bear to look at his face. He disgusted me how he could leave a single mother with a young daughter.

"I know I-"I cut him off before he could finish. "Save it I don't want to hear your BS. I left to." I told him his face went pale.

"You did what? Are you kidding me! You're an 18 year old girl out in London on your own! How could you be so stupid Samantha?" He was yelling at me right to my face. For him to have the nerve to yell at me for the same thing he did. I was honestly just surprised he remembered how old I was.

"Why you did the same thing accept you left behind a single mother and your little sister." I gave him a disgusting look and folded my arm.

"That's different I can't believe you. You're so stupid! Always have been always will be!" He shouted and he grabbed my arm and was shaking me. "You have no common sense you're going to get killed out here!" I felt Niall come up from the boys.

"That's enough Ian" He said grabbing me away from my brothers grip.

"Oh what are you her protector or something? Why don't you leave us alone? She needs to get some common sense into her." My brother said roughly grabbing my arm and pulling me. I was frightened he seemed like he was about to kill me.

"No let her be." Niall said and stepped in between me and Ian."

"Back away blonde boy." My brother pushed Niall away from me.

"What the hell! Leave him alone Ian. Now I remember why I hate you so much." I said ripping my arm out of his grasp.

"You hate me? Good because I hate you to! Good luck surviving out there on your own. Oh wait maybe your boyfriend will take all your fights for you." He said turning away.

"He's not my boyfriend! I can take my own fights!" I yelled at him.

"Oh that's why there was a picture of you being beat up by a whole bunch of fan girls. Bloody and a helpless little girl on the ground." He gave me a proud smirk as he turned around. My heart sank to my stomach. He was right and so was my mom, I couldn't survive out here on my own.

"I hate you." I whispered and turned around sobbing. I ran all the way outside into the court yard it was cold out. Why hadn't I brought a coat? I walked for a while my head spinning with thoughts. I watched my breath come from my mouth and followed the smoke till it went away. It was dark accept for the little lights that lit the path. Everything was blurry because of my teary eyes. How could my brother say those things to me? It hurt but then again I thought the same thing about him. I was really in the newspaper, me and my bloody unconscious self on the cover. No wonder why the boys had always kept me away from the newspaper stand in the Lobby. It felt like it was getting colder as I walked along the path and the only warmth I had was rubbing my hands up and down my arms. Suddenly I felt someone come up behind me hugging me. I don't know who it was but they were warm. I turned to see Niall's figure standing there. "N-naill?" I said my teeth chattering uncontrollably.

"Yeah it's me. Why don't you come inside its freezing?" He started to push me towards the house.

"No I refuse to be in the same house let alone the same room as that disgusting animal." I said stubbornly standing there with my arms crossed. "You can go back in the house and enjoy yourself I'll be out here."

"I'm not leaving you out here. When I and the boys said we would take care of you we meant it." He took my hand into his. I looked down to see our fingers perfectly entwined. I smiled for the first time that night.

"I know, but no one can protect me from my own brother." I said sighing. I knew if the boys hadn't been there right now my brother probably would have been screaming and hitting me for my 'stupid' choice of leaving home. I cringed at the thought. Niall took off his jacket and put it over bare shoulders. The new warmth instantly went through my body. "Niall?" I asked looking up into his piercing blue eyes.

"Yeah?" He had his hands in his pockets and looked nervous like he had wanted to do something. He turned towards me only inches away from my cold face. Did I lo-like him? That kiss while we were playing hide-n-seek constantly playing in my head. There was something there I definitely had feeling for this boy. But did he for me? Yes, I know he kissed me but maybe it was just one of those spontaneous moment types of things. I played with my fingers nervously, I was about to find about.

"Do you," I paused second guessing myself when it just kind of came out. "Love me?"
