Chapter Six: Niall's POV
After I carried Paige up to my suite, I rang Liam. "Ello?" His voice came through the speaker as he picked up. "Hi Liam," I said back. "Is she comfortable? Asleep?" Liam asked. "Yeah, fell asleep right away. She was tired, I guess," I sighed back. "Then we'll come up and talk about it," Liam said. "Okay. Bye, mate," I chirped. "Bye," Liam said. I hung up and walked to the kitchen.
I got out a kettle and poured water into it. I put it on the stove and heated it up. A knock came at the door, and Liam's voice followed after. "It's Liam, Zayn, and Peyton," the voice called. I hurried to the door and opened it. They followed in and collapsed on the couch.
The tea screeched and I grabbed the kettle, putting the water into five mugs. I brought the cups to everyone, putting the tea bags on the table. I made a tea for myself and a tea for Paige, leaving it in the kitchen.
I joined everyone in the living room. "Who's known about... it?" Liam asked, sipping his tea. "Me and Niall," Peyton said. She was a state. Her red-rimmed eyes had mixed with the dried mascara, from the crying I guess. "How long did you know, Niall?" Zayn asked. "Last night, but I promised her I wouldn't tell. She told me she would tell with in two weeks," I explained.
"Okay..." Zayn trailed off. "Anyway, we need to figure out how to make her tell the police," Liam said. "I tried, but she's changed. A lot," Peyton sighed. "She's absolutely petrified of him. And, when I thought I saw Josh in the window last night, her eyes said it all. God, it looked like she was about to throw up."
I hadn't really thought about it. When Peyton said that she saw Josh, I wasn't really paying attention to Paige. I was mostly thinking about protecting them and whooping Josh's ass. And I was thinking about calming Peyton down.
"The first thing we need to do is have Harry talk to Paige. That's the big goal right now. Cause you know as well as I do that she's in no state to tell the police, or to confront Josh," Liam sighed. "But before she confronts the police, she needs to get away from Josh. They need to break up," I thought. "Yeah, yeah... Good idea," Zayn said.
I nodded and got up. "I'm gonna bring her tea," I smiled. I heated up the mug in the microwave, then brought it to my suite. Paige was still cuddled under the covers. She was even crying in her sleep. I sat on the edge of the bed, put the tea on the nightstand, and brushed the hair out of her eyes. "Aw, Paige. Harry'll come around. He loves you," I cooed.
She tossed in her sleep and her eyes slowly peeled open. "C-can I see Pey-Peyton?" She sobbed. "Of course, love," I wispered. I leaned in and kissed her forehead, letting my lips linger there a little longer than they should have. "I made you some tea," I added, walking back into the living room.
"She wants to see you, Peyton," I said to her. She nodded and walked into the room.
"So, are you finally gonna ask Paige out?" Zayn asked. I was gobsmacked. "You know!?" I asked. "Yeah, well, you're not so good at hiding it. You're always looking at her, checking her out. Harry's the only one who couldn't tell, except for Paige," Liam said. I blushed sheepishly. I thought I was good at hiding it. "Anyway, are you gonna?" Liam asked. "Maybe when this is all sorted out. Once she's ready for a relationship. But I don't think she likes me like that," I sighed.
"Last night she admitted to fancying you!" Zayn exclaimed. "Because she didn't want Peyton to tell that Josh hit her. She was covering up for Pey," I explained. "Oh," Zayn said, sounding defeated.
I finished my tea and washed off the mug in the sink. I joined the boys in the living room again and decided to text Harry.
To: Hazza!!
'What you did wasn't cool. Paige won't stop crying. I hope your happy...'
I sent my text and sighed. "Have any of you texted Harry?" I asked. "I did. Told him he was an arse and that he'll be lucky if Paige considers forgiving him," Zayn said. "I told him he needed to get his arse back here to fix things," Liam said.
We carried on a conversation like this for about two hours, until Peyton and Paige came walking out of the room.
"Hey hon. How're you holding up?" I asked. "Now I'm just scared," she sighed. "And I want food." I laughed at her and looked at the boys. "Well, we can take you to you're dorm to get changed then we can go get some lunch?" I offered.
"I'd like that," she smiled. We got up and grabbed hoodies and sun-glasses, so we wouldn't be recognized. Normally, fans wouldn't bother me, but it might scare Paige and Peyton.
Speaking of, Peyton was still in her fancy skirt and shirt from last night. "Do you wanna borrow something to wear?" I asked. "No, I'll get something from the dorm," she said. "Okay," I smiled.

When we got to Paige's dorm, me and the boys had to wait outside because we didn't have and relation to Paige. Liam was worried we were gonna get discovered, but since it was still winter break, not many students were there.
Paige and Peyton came out about twenty minutes later, dressed. Paige's curls fell effortlessly around her face. She wore a pink dress with little flowers printed all over it, and a white jumper. She added blue heels and a gold necklace. I couldn't help but stare. "Wow, you look... beautiful," I commented. "Thanks," she blushed.
Peyton wore a pair of black leather shorts and a white blouse, with little flowers over the shoulders. Her wavy hair famed her face. She looked great, too, but Paige was just... wow.
"Anyway, to Nando's?" I asked. "To Nando's," Paige smiled. We walked over to our van (Paige had driven to the dorm seperatly, so she could drop off her car.) and all piled in. "Turn on the radio!" Paige exclaimed happily. Zayn clicked the Power button and music flooded the car.
What Makes You Beautiful was on, and it was Harry's solo. "Turn off the radio!" Paige exclaimed, in the same voice she used in the begining. I laughed and Zayn turned off the radio. Marcus (A friend of ours that we had met in London) was driving us, since none of us had our liscense, except for Paige. "Nando's, I'm guessing?" He asked. "YEAAHH BUDDDY!!" I called, and the car erupted into laughter.
"Oh, Pey, she's cuuuuuuute," Paige said, pointing out the window. "She is," Peyton blushed. I laughed at the girls and let them try to pick out girl's for Peyton.
We got to Nando's quickly, and I was happy.
I got out of the car, everyone following me. "Paige?" A voice asked. Paige's shaky voice responded with a "Harry?"
