Kelsey's POV

Me and Niall quickly walk out of the bar.
"Kelsey...I'm so sorry for what happened in there...I shouldn't have brought you here in the first place...you probably hate me for putting you in that situation and I'm so sorry." He blurts.
"Niall...I'm not mad at you. I was glad to meet Louis and Liam. I kinda put myself in that situation." I respond.
"Don't blame yourself. I should have known they would see you and try to get you to work against me or something, and I'm sorry they tried to take advantage of you. God I want to kill them for that, that must have been terrible for you. I won't take you there again." He tells me, giving me a quick hug, which made me feel safe.
He seems to be fiercely protective of his friends.
We quickly walk back to my apartment and sit down on my couch.
"Want something to drink? I have water....and that's about it at the moment." I offer.
"Water is fine." He says with a sexy smile. And I can't help but feel attracted towards him. Damn it.
I bring a bottle of it over to him and sit back down.
"So, I have a question for you....do you mind explaining this whole thing between you and Ashton's groups?" I ask.
He takes a deep breath.
"Ok, so we have the two groups. We have been rivals for as long as I can remember, and I don't know why. Most of the times our fights are just with words and a bit of shoving, like at the bar. But sometimes they are physical fights where people get hurt. And his group likes to find out our individual weaknesses. Mine is usually the people I love. Not too long ago, my other friends Harry and Zayn suspiciously went missing right after we won a physical fight against Ashton's group. We haven't seen them again. I'm so freaked out, like what if they got killed?!" He explains, starting to panic.
My face goes pale. Ashton said,"I found your weakness....." When I was there...does that mean he's going to target me? And since he targets people that Niall loves, does that mean he loves me? I grab Niall's hand.
"I don't think they're dead Niall. He didn't seem like the type to be a cold-blooded killer....it seems like he's going to hang them right in front of your faces to make you vulnerable."
"God. I'm sorry I brought you into this.... I should have just gone and had you wait for me here."
"You're fine. Don't worry about it. I don't mind because you and Liam and Louis are awesome and good people."
"I have something to ask you and I'm going to have you answer honestly, ok? Can I kiss you? Like I know we haven't known each other for that long but I think I've shared enough with you that i trust you...I'm not asking for a relationship quite yet. But just a kiss."
"You didn't even have to ask...and that's fine. I don't want a relationship quite yet either." I say, laughing a little.
He leans in and kisses me.
After a few seconds, we break apart.
"Oh shit it's almost midnight, i better get going. Text or call me tomorrow." He says.
I give him a hug. "Stay safe." I tell him.
"I will." He says, smiling as he leaves.
I go in and close the door, heading to bed.
