All By Myself...

Chapter 4

Niall's POV

I sat in class staring at the ceiling while my teacher drowned on. I wonder what training would be like, today should be my first day. Luke would be waiting for me to take me to the house to start me going. I looked at the clock 5 more minutes.

I had over heard Perrie's training but that was all I knew. Was it wrong to be excited for this? 4 Minutes.

My life had changes so much in the time since I followed Layla home that one day that seemed centuries ago now. 3 minutes.

I had seen things I couldn't come back from. I knew I couldn't be normal anymore. Never again would I be just your average teenage boy. 2 minutes.

And now I had done things I couldn't come back from. Now I would for ever be that guy who was involved in a gang. It's strange how I used to be afraid of that type of people and now they were my new "family" 1 minute.

Soon I would be out of here and away from every body's watchful eyes. When the time came I was first out the door half because I hated this hell hole and half because I knew Luke would be parked outside, waiting for me.

I walked towards the parking lot with my eyes set on the dark colored car waiting for me. A hand wrapped around my arm stopping me from leaving. I turned to see who would be stupid enough to stop me.

"Niall what's gotten into you?" Liam stood in front of me his hand around my arm glaring at me.

"What could I have done to disappoint someone like you?" I smiled a sarcastic grin.

"First you started hanging out with bad people then you-"

"What makes them any worse then you?" I took a step closer now.

"They hurt people Niall." I scoffed but didn't need to say anything. "We were going to let you go through this stupid change of yours but now you actually hit Louis?" He looked baffled that I would do such a thing. "the Niall I knew would have never hurt anyone."

The mystery mans bloody body curled in an alley showed up in my head and I jerked my arm away from his grasp. "Them maybe you don't know me." I walked away to Luke's car pulling out a cigarette.

"Have trouble?" Luke asked referring to Liam, once I stepped in the car.

"Not much." I took a long drag of my cigarette as Luke laughed and drove us to the house.

But he didn't drive me to the house. We pulled up near a large warehouse outside of town I had never seen before. In front of us was Nick, Jade, Ben, and Paul leaning back on the car, Jade wrapped in Nick's arms protectively.

Luke pulled the car up behind them parking it. "When we go in here Niall, don't say anything. Don't do anything, just stay behind us and make sure nothing goes wrong, just in case."

I didn't want to ask questions so I nodded, whatever it was I told myself I could handle. Before we stepped out of the car Luke reached into the glove compartment pulling out something and handing it to me. In his hand he held out a gun. I took it hesitantly but then hid it in the waist band of my jeans like I had seen others do before.

"You ready?" Nick turned his head to Luke and then he glances to the side at me a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. Jade smiled at me and Paul looked down to me and gave me a pat on my shoulder before walking towards these two huge metal doors.

One swung out just enough for us to come through a big man with tattoos scattered across his arms held the door for us staring us all down as we passed.

"Charles," Nick went up and greeted a man on the end of a table, a huge crate taking up a majority of the table.

"Nick, I heard about Layla, I'm sorry." He gave Nick his condolences and I tried not to stiffen, instead I tried to stand straight and look intimidating.
