bullies to brothers (niall horan love story)

chapter 24

↬Down To Business!↫

~NIALL'S POV~I woke up this morning at 9:30 and Nelly was still asleep. It's so fucking horrible seeing her in pain, you don't even understand.I decided to get a shower so I got my shit together and went to the bathroom. While I was showering, I decided to let my thoughts run wild, might as well.So, since we met Nelly and a 'certain' incident happened, shit has seriously gone down. I don't blame her for anything bad at had happened, its not her fault. Like at all.Nelly's been attacked by her uncle three or four times since she moved which is quite a lot considering he doesn't live close to us and we're always with her. The first time he gashed her cheek with a knife, fucking really? Who does that?! And this time she finds it hard to even walk upstairs or to laugh. The bruise on her tummy looks like a pair of grown men pounded her stomach, not just one, and Nelly said he only hit her a couple of times. And her head. He pulled her hair so hard that her scalp was bleeding! Not forgetting her poor bruised wrists, he must have grabbed her so hard. Urgh! I hate Joe so much! I'd never lay a hand on a girl in a violent way no matter how pissed off I got with her. Its just wrong in every aspect, and I'm still itching to know what caused all this. She said that its because she was adopted by Elena and Damon and Joe isn't happy with it, but I think there's more to it and i'm gonna talk to her later about it; that's a promise.Onto nicer topics. I finally told Nelly how I feel about her and now we're together. It feels like a huge weight is lifted off my shoulders. I'm over the moon that she feels the same and she said yes, words can't actually describe my happiness to be completely honest. She's mine, she's mine, she's mine! All mine muhahahah!I finally finished brain rambling and got out the shower grinning like I'm a serial killer who is about to kill someone but face palmed when I realized that I forgot my boxers. Aren't I smart. I wrapped my towel around my waist and opened the bathroom door. Nelly's still sleeping, she needs it. I made my way to my draws and pulled out my CK's then headed back to the bathroom."Morning to you!" Nelly said smirking as I was stood in my towel. When did she wake up?"Morning love! I didn't know you were awake, did I disturb you?" I asked. I hope I didn't wake her up."Nope, I was just lying here with my face in the pillow and I heard shuffling." She giggled."Good, how you feeling?" I asked her as she yawned adorably."Alright, still a bit sore but not as bad." Nelly said and rolled her eyes."As long as your feeling a bit better at least."I sighed."I'm just gonna get dressed, I won't be a minute." I said and she nodded while sitting up.I got changed into my 'CRAZY MOFOS' T-shirt and jeans then dried my hair and styled it then left the bathroom. Nelly was sat grinning at something on her phone."What is it?" I asked her and sat by her."El tagged us all in a picture on Facebook that says 'Our friendship group is tighter than a fat guy in skinny jeans!'" She said and we both looked at eachother and laughed, well I did and Nelly was trying not to because it still hurt to."She's mental, no wonder her and Louis are so good together." I said shaking my head."I know! I need to get changed but I can't be bothered getting clothes out. Too much stress." Nelly said and groaned and I chuckled."Want me to pick you something for you to wear?" I asked her."Really? Sure please thanks a lot." She grinned and I smiled at her."Jeans, shorts or leggings?" I asked before I left the room."Um, leggings!" Nelly said."Okay." I said and went to her room where her bags were.Hmm, she has a lot of clothes and this isn't even her full wardrobe! I decided on black leggings with a gray jumper that had a green four leaf clover in the middle, wink wink! Wait, do I get her underwear too? I think I was meant to... I picked out the first panties and bra I came to so she doesn't think I went rooting through them, and got her some fluffy socks and took them back to my room."These okay?" I asked and put them on my bed."Yup these a great, thanks! I knew you'd pick this jumper." She smirked and I winked."I'm gonna get changed, see ya tomorrow!" She joked and slowly got up to go to the bathroom."See ya tomorrow!" I smiled and headed towards the bedroom door when Nelly called me back."Can you wait for me? I won't be long. I don't know of I can get down the stairs." She bit her lip."Yeah, course I can." I smiled and flopped back on the bed."Thanks." She replied and shit the bathroom door behind her.~NELLY'S POV~I closed he door behind me to get changed and began taking my clothes off. It still hurts like a bitch and I get sharp pains when I move in certain positions and ways. I turned the tap on and washed myself quickly, there was a clean towel on the side already so I got dried and put my underwear on. I tucked my arms behind my back to clasp my bra and gasped when I got a shooting pain in my left side."Nelly? You okay?" Niall asked from the bedroom."Yeah." I replied and managed to fasten it after a few goes."Okay, don't rush," He said, "you'll hurt yourself." And I smiled.I pulled my leggings up and slipped my jumper over my head rather easily and brushed my teeth. One thing still had me thinking. I opened the bathroom door and made a confused face at Niall. He returned it and waited for me to talk."How am I gonna bush my hair?" I asked him. Its a bit of an odd question to ask a boy, but there are no girls in the house to ask."Um, you could run your fingers through it and brush the ends?" He suggested. Hmm."Good idea, but I don't know where it was bleeding and i'm bound to go over it." I said and rubbed my forehead in thought.Niall went to my room and came back a few seconds later with my hair brush and a hair tie then got me to sit on the bed."I'm such a cabbage!" I groaned and he stood behind me.Niall skillfully ran his fingers through my hair, removing the tangles without once hurting me. He then held my hair gently and brushed he ends."How would you like your hair today Miss Carter?" He asked like I was in a hair salon and I giggled. I take it he is doing my hair today then."What do you recommend?" I asked him."Well, its either a pony tail, a braid or a twisty thing that you clip to the side cos there all can do." He laughed and I joined in."I never knew you could braid." I said turning around to him."Yeah, I was very close to one of my cousins who was a girl, and she showed me and said if would help me later in life. Don't even ask..." Niall chuckled shaking his head. I didn't know that either."Hmm, a braid sounds good." I said and turned around."Which type?" He smirked. He's good, very good."What can you do?" I said smiling."I can do that headband thingy, the waterfall one or something and the normal one." He said."You mean the braided headband, the waterfall braid and the regular braid?" I asked."Yeah, them ones, forgot the names." He said."Well, can I have a waterfall braid please?" I asked."One waterfall braid coming right up!" Niall said smiling and I turned around.The feeling of his fingers running through my hair relaxed me and I sighed and played with the charms on my bracelet. One of my best friends from my old school gave me it to remember her by and I hardly ever take it off. Each charm symbolizes a memory we had together. Those were the good days. But so far, these days are looking better; with the exception of psycho Joe of course."Done princess." Niall said securing the hair tie. I made my way to he mirror to look at it. It was perfect! How did he do that? ( http://vacationku.com/alluring-waterfall-braid-hairstyles.html/waterfall-braid-with-spiral-curls-prom-hairstyles#image-1 )"Is it okay?" He asked."Its perfect, I'm hiring you as my hairdresser." I giggled admiring it in the mirror as best I could."What's my wages?" Niall smirked."Five kisses and hour." I joked and pulled tongues in the mirror."Well, I'd love to be you hairdresser." Niall pulled tongues back and I laughed."Whats the time?" I asked myself and went to my phone."Right, 11:25. The girls are coming about 12:30/1:00. Let's go get breakfast?" I proposed."Definitely!" Niall said about to walk out the room but in stopped him."Hey, I forgot to pay your wages!" I raised an eyebrow."Oh yeah!" He said and laughed and I kissed him."Eeeew! PDA!" We heard outside Niall room. We looked at eachother and shook our heads."Shush Louis!" Niall shouted and Louis made a weird gurgling sound. Normal..."Okay, well, let's get some food!" Niall said and lead the way.I get to the stairs and tried walking on my own while Niall stood a few steps ahead to wait to see of I could do it alright. I gripped the banister and went down the stairs one by one."Okay?" Niall asked as he took one step backward as I took one forward."Yeah, It doesn't hurt if I take my time and go slowly." I said concentrating."I'm walking like a pensioner with a hunchback." I commented and Niall laughed."You don't look as bad as you think, your just walking slowly, that's all." He smirked."I hope so." I sighed and reached the bottom step."You got Cap'n Crunch?" I asked and searched his cupboards?"Not in there." He said and pulled a box from on top of the top of the fridge"Thanks. Want some of this or something else?" I asked getting a bowl for myself."That please. Do you want some OJ?" Niall asked and I got him a bowl out too."Sure, pass me the milk?" I replied and he handed me it. I made our cereal and set it on the island in the kitchen and Niall followed with our juice and we sat and ate."When are Dani, Perrie and Eleanor getting here again?" Niall asked."Um, between 12:30 and 1:00." I replied and he nodded. We finished and put our dishes in the dishwasher."Where are the guys?" I asked looking around. Hey aren't in their rooms or down here."Probably in the game room or the gym." Niall replied. Woah, what a sec- game room? Fucking gym?!"Hold dafuq up! You have a game room and a gym?! Why didn't I know about this?" I interrogated folding my arms trying to look intimidating. It clearly didn't work though as Niall was smirking at me."Well, I highly doubt you need to use the gym and the games room is mainly for guy time." He shrugged. So he is trying to soften me up before getting all sexist on me, think again my friend."Well, thanks but I have put on 5lbs since I stopped my gymnastics so I kinda do need the gym. And sexist much?" I raised my eyebrows at him."What? I didn't know girls liked Call of Duty. The other three don't, I'm not sure about Ally." He defended."Fair point, but FYI I love Call of Duty!" I pulled tongues."I'm impressed. Very impressed. And by the way, you look fine,there's not a pinch on you! 5lbs my ass you don't need to go the gym." He said and put an arm around me as we went down another flight of stairs to the games room with the gym facing it."Thanks boo, love ya!" I said and he smiled."Love ya too!" He said back and we went into where Louis was beating Harry's ass at FIFA.It wasn't long before 12:30 came we heard a knock at the door. I went upstairs to the living room slowly, like before, and three happy faces came skipping into the living room."Hey, how ya feeling?" Perrie asked seating herself."I'm alright, I can actually get up and down the stairs by myself." I grinned and sat down next to her."Good! How was you doing it last time?" Eleanor chipped in and sat by us on the couch."Oh right, Niall. He kinda had to carry me." I giggled. Dani then came in with four mugs of coffee."Aww! Sorry to spoil the adorableness but when can we get down to business! I wanna see your room finished!" She said excitedly handing us our coffees."Now if you like, we will need to go ask the boys if they wanna do it with us." I replied."Let do this!" El cheered and we headed to the stairs."By the way, is it just me who didn't ow here was a gym and a games room in this place?" I asked them."Yeah, we knew about it." The girls said."Why am I the only one who didn't know?" I shook my head and we went into the room."Well then..." Perrie said slowly as we walked in on Harry being crushed at the bottom of a dog pile. It went; Harry, Zayn, Liam Niall then Louis."Poor Harry." I laughed."Thanks for giving a shit." He replied and what you could see of his hand showed him flipping us off. Thanks."Anyway, we came down to ask if you wanted to help finish Nelly's room off with us." Dani asked and I took a sip of my coffee."Yeah sure, meet you's up there." Liam replied while the others were poking Harry. Mature, right?"Okay!" We said hand headed up to my room."Are you sure your okay getting up these stairs? Your going slow." Eleanor asked concerned."Yeah, if I go fast then it hurts my sides for some strange reason. But of I go slow like this I'm perfectly fine and I can't rely on everyone babying me all the time." I explained as we reached the top of the stairs and entered my room and the girls nodded understanding."So, let's start." Perrie suggested and the boys appeared behind us."Let's." They rubbed other hands together and we all began carefully peeling the tape away revealing our doodles."Don't forget we need to leave some for Ally too!" Harry reminded us and we all looked at eachother, while Harry continued, and smirked shaking our heads."So, how long have you liked Ally for Haz?" Niall asked casually."About two weeks or so. Wait what?!" Harry said and slapped his hand over his mouth and blushed violently."Oh my stars! Is Harold Styles really blushing? I never thought I'd see the day!" I said like an old person and chuckled."Shut up. You caught me off guard." Harry defended but didn't deny it."Well, are you gonna tell her?" Zayn asked."Dunno. Probably not. I'm not into all that stuff, I'm more like 'fuck and chuck' than 'mate and date' to be honest. I mean, she is gorgeous and a lovely person and has a great personality and I could just sit alone with her in an empty room with nothing to do and still not get bored, but I doubt that I'll be able to hold a relationship together and I wouldn't want to hurt her by going back to my old ways. You know how I am. Hump and dump, period." Harry rambled and we all stood there speechless."So, you really like her, but you can't keep committed, because you would rather bang a different girl every other night and possibly end up catching something, than stick to one girl who you really like who you know hasn't got any nasty ass diseases or anything and wouldn't use you for your 'goods'? Why Haz?" Eleanor asked trying to break down his words."I don't know. I never thought of it like that. I know it's wrong and all but in a way it's like a game; see how many chicks you can bang before school ends and the person who does the most wins. These four don't and haven't done anything like it so don't worry, its the other douche bags on the football team. And as fun as it is sometimes I want to back out and tell them how wrong its but then they'd see me as boring or uncool or something and that'd be my reputation down the drain. But also, if I get with Ally it would take so much getting used to sticking to the one girl and I might forget and do something with someone else and she would be hurt. I just couldn't do that." Harry explained frowning."I just want to say that there is nothing fun about putting yourself in danger of getting HIV. You may find it to be an adrenaline rush but HIV is strenuous to get rid of and if it turns to AIDS then your fucked. Just saying." I stated."How do you know?" Niall asked raising an eyebrow."I actually paid attention in sex ed class. Try it sometime. Don't really it should be fricking illegal the things they show you, its vile and traumatizing." I said and we both laughed. I love his laugh, its cute."True dat." Louis agreed.About an hour passed and we were done as we saved Ally a few to do. We stood back and looked at what we had accomplished in three days."I'm impressed." I smirked and looked at the boys, Perrie, Dani and El."Same." They all agreed."Well, don't enjoy it too much its my room." I retorted playfully and they frowned."Just kidding, do whatever just don't root through my underwear and we are good." I winked and looks around the room again admiring our art."There is still sheets all over everything and the furniture is out of place." Dani noticed and tugged one of the sheets off a corner of the laminate floor. I forgot about that."Oh yeah, forgot that." I said and pulled two sheets off my bed. The others began removing them from everything that was covered and by the end of that, there were piles of fabric lying lazily along the floor."Aren't we a tidy bunch eh?" I commented sarcastically and bent over to pick the strewn sheets up and guess what?..."Shit!" I gasped and clutched my side. The others looked over at me."What's wrong? " Niall asked concerned coming to my side."I feel like I just gave birth or something." I muttered."It better be mine." Niall joked and we all burst out laughing and i was trying so, so hard not to by biting my lip and began shaking because of it."But seriously, are you alright?" Niall asked calming down."Yeah I'm fine. I just forgot to be careful." I said and smiled and he put his arm around me and gently rubbed my side where I was holding it leaving tingles behind."I'll get that." Dani said and took the sheets to the laundry basket on the landing."Thanks." I replied and she returned a few seconds later."So, should we get moving the furniture?" Liam asked suggestively."Yeah." I answered and we all got down to business.I carefully moved the bedside tables and the dressing table with Niall while Harry, Liam and Zayn shuffled the wardrobe. The girls shifted the big bed and Louis just pretended to be busy. Typical."Thanks for all your amazing help Louis! We couldn't have done it without you!" I praised sarcastically while me and Ni placed the dressing table on the floor."You are most welcome Nelly, anytime!" He replied waving me off and I shook my head."I think we are done." Niall said and I tossed my hair over my shoulder."Think I will have my hair like this more often." I winked at Niall."Will you now?" He replied smugly."I was just thinking, your hair is really cute today." Eleanor commented out of the blue."Thanks, Niall did it for me!" I grinned and Niall raised an eyebrow at me. The girls all cooed"Zayn, I'm teaching you how to do hair." Perrie stated not letting Zayn have a say in the matter."Nelly didn't teach me how to, one of my cousins did." Niall corrected with a small smile."I'm hiring Niall!" Eleanor declared and Louis faked being hurt."I am not a prostitute. You cannot hire me." Niall stated matter of factly."He's mine! You have you own!" I snarled playfully at Eleanor and Niall smiled at my words."Fine." Eleanor huffed and marched back over to Louis. Perrie, Dani, Zayn, Liam and Harry were trying to figure out what the hell just happened."Okay then." Dani said puzzled."What should we do then? Its 2:15 and we have done Nelly's room. " Louis questioned with his arms over El's shoulders while standing behind her."I wanna go check that abandoned house out by thecemetery." I said absent mindedly."Why?" Harry asked bemused."It just looks intriguing and interesting." I said."I want to go to the beach but the weather is shitty." Perrie pouted. Hehe that rhymed."Yeah, the beach does sound good actually." I agreed solemnly."How about shopping? We all seem to like shopping." Dani proposed and the lads groaned."We always go shopping!" Harry whined."We do not! But can you think of anything better?" I reasoned and we all went quiet in thought."We could do challenges." Louis suggested with a menacing smirk and we all nodded in agreement."Bring it bitch." I replied smugly.He doesn't know what he's got himself into.
