The Demons Inside. [ZM AU]

Ch: 46 || Now or Never

[i miss the wanted so much that is why i put that gif on the side however of course it does have some relevance not only in making the author smile]

The thrill of your fists colliding against something that hasn't caused any real threat to you is nothing compared to facing your one true enemy, and knowing that one of you would be surrounded by a pool of blood in a few seconds. So comparing punching a wall in your house to murdering your enemy isn't the same, you can't really compare them can you? A lot of events had been leading to this one moment in time. A massive chain of events all connected together it seems, so don't you think an sly but surprisingly intelligent person like Niall be clever enough to be prepared in advance? He's not all talk. He does have a lot of brains. You should know that by now. I mean c'mon the guys' an evil mastermind! 

You can't not give him award for that fake being dead for two months, he really had us going there. We thought the worse threat was Max and 'arson attacks'. They look like a group of pansies compared to Niall. Duh? 

Speaking of which, now that Brandon was on his way to meet his new fellow gang members... that Max wouldn't notice his departure? Of course he would. Especially him being the stalker he is with that 'complimentary' tattoo he had each member of his gang get, a tracker device so he can fully be in control. Brandon didn't know this, and neither did Louisa. We do. 

We know everything.

"Patricia, do you think I'm ugly?" 

Patricia places her wooden spoon from the pan of boiling pasta onto the side of the gas cooker and turns to face the suddenly not confident, but timid girlfriend of one of her sons. She would never have expected that question to ever leave Nikki's mouth, especially with the amount of selfies on her mobile. Patricia has to wait quite a long time for the bathroom, even has to go across the road to Lucy's house to use hers because Nikki takes so long in there using the mirror for selfies. Quite a vain? 

"No sweetie, you're beautiful." Patricia answers her honestly. She believes that every person is beautiful in their own way and that each flaw makes them more real. 

"Am I fat?" 

"Why of course not dear? Why has brought this on? This is unexpected." Patricia goes back to stirring the pasta in the pot whilst Nikki sighs and perches herself down on the marble counter top. 

"It's just. Harry, I guess. He forgets about me all the time and I bet he's with a really hot model girl right this minute. I bet she's a brunette, short just the way he likes them. I just. I want to be that perfect girl for him but it's really so hard. I can't be perfect. Niall was just, I can't describe my relationship with him. It was horrible. It's not the same as when I was with Nathan, though. He was just too... unreal. He was so perfect and a dream boyfriend. That all messed up though, didn't it? I can't find my happily ever after or my prince charming. All those Disney movies about how dreams come true, are all a load of crap. Why were they even created?"

What was quite funny out of that lecture was how Nikki was jealous of whoever Harry was with now. Short, brunette... oh wait not a girl though. Sorry not Larry action here, continue.
