Kelsey's POV

The next morning, I receive a text from Jocelyn.
"Want to meet Luke? Her text says.
"Sure!" I respond.
"If you're free now, you can swing by my place if you want."
"Alright, I'll be right over."
I grab my keys and hop in my car, driving over to Jocelyn's apartment.
I walk up to the door and ring the bell.
She opens the door and lets me inside.
A guy who I recognize is sitting on her couch.
When he turns and looks at me my blood runs cold.
It's the lip ring guy who tried to punch Niall in the fight.
Well now he has a name.
Our eyes meet and he narrows his eyes at me.
He changes his facial expression to be pleasant when Jocelyn comes in.
"Kelsey, this is Luke, Luke, this is Kelsey." She says, looking really happy.
We shake hands, both with fake smiles plastered on our faces.
In reality, I want to punch him so hard.
His friends were the ones who harassed me, after all.
And he personally attempted to hurt my boyfriend.
"She's also dating someone, Luke. She's dating Niall Horan." Jocelyn states, and I give her a "was that necessary?" look.
"Interesting....." He says, nodding a bit.
Now he has a way to target me.
Great.
Thanks Jocelyn.
It's kind of awkward for a second.
"I need to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back." Jocelyn informs us as she gets up.
Once she is out of the room, Luke turns to me.
"You better watch your back."
"Why are you guys targeting me? I never did anything to you!"
"You didn't, but your little boy toy and his friends did. His weakness is you. You can thank Jocelyn for telling me that."
"Answer this for me honestly: are you using her for information?"
"No, I actually love her, thank you very much. I didn't even know you and her were best friends until you came here, getting all of this information is just a bonus."
We sit in silence for only a moment until Jocelyn comes back into the room.
"I have to get going. See you soon." I say, giving her a quick hug and dashing out the door.
I climb into my car, but I don't put the key in the ignition quite yet.
I pull out my phone, sending a quick text to Niall.
"Jocelyn is dating Luke from the other group."
"WHAT?"
"Yeah. AND she told him we're dating."
"Shit Kelsey. Shit shit shit. Does she know anything about this feud thing?"
"She doesn't seem to. Niall, he practically threatened me. He said,'you better watch your back.' Im scared."
"Kelsey, there's no need to be scared, I won't let anything happen to you, I promise."
"I hope you can keep that promise."
