Naill's P.O.V.
I raised my hand to knock on Nikki's door, only for dad to grab it,
"No.", he said softly, "Nikki, wake up love.", he called. I rolled my eyes as he sent me a stern look, "Watch yourself young man. I'm trying to help you."
"I-I know. I'm sorry I just- I'm unlearning a lot of things dad."
"I know kiddo. It's part of growing." He looked back to her door, "Nikki, can we come in?"
"Yeah.", she called sleepily. He opened the door, walking in and sitting on her bed as I followed awkwardly. He pet her hair softly as she laid on her stomach,
"It's time to get up kid. C'mon."
"No.", she whined, "I don't wanna."
"Nikki, now.", he said a little sterner.
"No!"
Smack!
She yelped at the spank, curling up in a ball half in dads lap. He sighed,
"Nikkita I told you to do something. I'll only be nice about it three times before you get a real warning and that's only because everything is still new to you. Now get up before you get a real spanking young lady." She groaned but sat up dramatically,
"Fine.", she snapped. I gently grabbed her chin,
"Lose it little girl. Get dressed." Dad and I left as I turned back to him, "Was that okay?" He chuckled, nodding,
"Yeah. You did good kid. Keep it up."
♡♡♡♡
"I don't know what to do." Dad chuckled,
"I'm shocked Ni. About what?", he asked through the phone.
"Nikki just got suspended for punching someone." He got quiet,
"Shit. Uhhh okay. First off, why did she?"
"I don't know."
"Figure out the whole story first. She might have been defending herself. If not, she's in for it. For now, don't yell or lecture. Make sure she isn't hurt or anything and we'll all talk when you guys get home."
"Okay."
Zayn's P.O.V.
"Why?", I asked as Niall and I stood in front of Nikki.
"She was saying mean things and I asked her to stop. I tried to leave and she shoved me so I punched her. I'm sorry.", she whispered. I nodded, crouching in front of her,
"You will never have this opportunity again. You have one more chance to tell me the truth Nikkita." Her eyes got wide as her breathing picked up,
"I-I am-"
"Fine.", I said standing up and beginning to unbuckle my belt. Niall's eyes widened,
"Dad-"
"I lied I'm sorry.", Nikki blurted out. I stopped, putting my belt back on and looking to her,
"Truth. Right fucking now."
"She really did call me a bitch and I-I did ask her to leave me alone. But then she said I was a-a-"
"You can say it.", Niall cut in.
"A pussy like my brother. That's why I hit her." Niall sighed, crouching in front of her,
"It is absolutely not your job to protect me Nikkita. Ever. And even if it was, you don't have the right to hit people or continue to stir the pot. Leave the situation, come find one of us, or yell. Someone will come help you. But hitting is unacceptable and you know it."
