5SOS - BABYSAT BY IDIOTS

Chapter 42

All 5 of them rushed to my side and Louis said worriedly, "Nicole, what happened?! Are you okay?" By then, I just realized my makeup had come off. I didn't know what to say but, "I'm fine. I just, uh, fell." Then Harry said, "Really? Then why are your eyes red?" I was silent.

Zayn: Nicole, what happened?

Nicole: Nothing, okay?

Liam: Nicole, clearly something is up because you've got a bruised face and a cut nose. What happened?

Nicole: I just... I just got into a little fight but it's over now.

Niall: Oh my god! Does Luke, Calum and Ashton know?

Nicole: (sighs). No.

Harry: When did this happen?

Nicole: Look, this is really none of your guys' business so just back off.

Liam: We are not going to do that, Nicole. We need to know. We want to help you.

Nicole: Well, there's nothing to help with because I'm fine.

Zayn: You don't seem fine. Come on, Nicole. What, when, where, why and how?

Nicole: (sighs). It happened at school in the cafeteria and these really mean girls came up to me and Jessica and said some rude things so I made a fat joke to one of them and she beat me up.

Louis: How come Luke, Calum or Ashton didn't notice it when you came home?

Nicole: I was wearing makeup to cover it up and I guess it came off but really, I'm fine now so it's no big deal.

Louis: Nicole, its a huge deal. You can't just keep something like this to yourself.

Nicole: I'm not. I'm telling you guys. And now you have to promise not to tell the others. Got it?

Harry: Nicole, we can't do that.

Nicole: You have to. They're going to absolutely flip!

Zayn: Well, that's a chance you need to take.

Niall: How else did these girls hurt you?

Nicole: Uh, just on the face.

Liam: Lie.

Nicole: What?

Liam: Thats a lie and I know it. Come on, where else did these girls hurt you?

Nicole: Nowhere.

Harry: Nicole... lift up your shirt.

Nicole: No.

Harry: Now...

Nicole: I don't want to.

Harry: Why? Is there something there?

Nicole: No, I just... I just can't.

Harry: Fine. (lifts up Nicole's shirt).

Nicole: Ugh, hey!

Harry: Oh my god, Nicole!!! You've got bruises all along your belly!!!!

Nicole: It doesn't matter!

Liam: I've got to call Calum.

Nicole: No, don't! I can't deal with them freaking out right now! Just... I'll tell them.

Louis: You promise?

Nicole: Yes. When they come home.

Harry: Good. It's the right thing to do, Nicole.

Nicole: Whatever.

Niall: For now, you need some rest. We'll leave you alone.

Then they all left closing the door behind them.
