Kelsey's POV

At about 10 o'clock, I leave Niall's apartment and start walking back to mine.
When I get there, I get a text from Jocelyn:
"I HAVE A NEW BOYFRIEND!!"
I reply: "ME TOO! WHAT'S HIS NAME?"
"Luke! Did Niall ask you out?"
"YES!"
"Congrats!!"
"Congrats to you too!"
I didn't get a response so I put my phone away.
I put a record on my record player and danced around my apartment until I felt tired enough to go to sleep.
*NEXT MORNING*
I wake up with the sun shining through my window and I decide to get up and walk to the cafe.
I see Louis there and go over to talk to him because he's by himself.
"Waiting for someone?" I ask, and his head snaps up.
"No, you can sit down if you want. So Horan got the guts to ask you out did he?" He says with a smirk.
"He did. I'm super happy about it!"
"I'm happy for you guys. But I'm also worried what the other group will do if they know he means that much to you....just watch your back, ok? They're going to target you if they find out. They tried to target my girlfriend, Eleanor, a little while after I started dating her, but we stopped it."
"What did they try to do?"
"They attempted to kidnap her, but she got away."
"Have they left her alone since then?"
"Yes, thankfully. I'll have to have you meet her sometime. You'd love her."
He looks at a newly received message on his phone, and suddenly looks worried.
He doesn't say anything for a moment.
"Um.....something wrong?" I ask cautiously.
"Niall just got jumped by Ashton and Michael, and there's a fight starting. I need to get over there." He says, getting up quickly.
"I'm going with you."
"No, you're not. It's going to be dangerous."
"I can defend myself."
He takes a deep breath.
"Fine. Just be careful."
I get up too and we run to the area near where the bar is.
I hear the group before I see it.
It's quite a big group and I decide im going to stay about 20 feet away because there's some major punching going on.
I see Niall get punched the face and I flinch.
"Just stay here. I mean it." Louis says.
"Oh trust me, I'm not going any closer."
"Good, I'll be over there. Shouldn't take very long."
I watch him go over and punch the guy who punched Niall in the face.
I see Ashton, who looks my way, then says something to Niall and Niall quickly glances at me.
Ashton uses the opportunity to punch Niall and I am furious.
Since they are apart from the big group, I storm over to Ashton and kick him in the balls.
He falls, groaning in pain, as I help Niall up.
"Kelsey...what are you doing here?" Niall asks, confused.
"No time for questions. Just get back there and kick some ass." I say, and he flashes me a smile while running back to the big group.
Ashton finally gets up at this point, approaching me, and I proceed to punch him square in the jaw.
He laughs at me, even though it's obvious that I hurt him.
"His girl's got to protect him doesn't she?" He taunts, approaching me again.
I slap him.
"Get the hell away from me." I snarl.
"Fine, little bitch. You don't even know what's coming for you." He says with an evil smirk, stumbling back to the group.
I back away and go back to where I was standing originally.
I see a really tall guy with a dirty blonde quiff and a lip ring try to punch Niall, but Niall stops him.
I think he was another one of the guys at the bar.
Somehow, it's over, and everyone walks in separate directions, and I walk towards Niall, shooting a dirty look at lip ring guy, and he returns the look.
I hug Niall.
"Are you okay?" I ask him.
"Ya, I'm fine. Goddamn, I was worried when I saw you walking over to me and Ashton earlier, but you managed to hold your own!" He exclaims with a goofy smile.
We decide to go walk around and talk.
