A New Beginning

First Fight?

**four months later**

“Ty, why don’t you just move here? It’s been almost five months now that you’ve been here,” I said looking at my brother. He, Iris, and I were lounging around the pool waiting for Niall and Zayn to get back from the studio.

“Yea, maybe. I need to think about it though,” he said smiling at me.

“I like having you here, the guys love you, and it gives me someone else to talk to,” I reminded him. I could tell he was thinking about it, weighing his options.

“I’ll let you know soon, ‘kay?” he smiled. I knew he would stay. He liked it too much over here not to. I was just about asleep on the lounge chair when suddenly I was picked up and thrown in the pool. Needless to say, I was mad. I resurfaced and looked around glaring at everyone in sight. Tyler had both his hands covering his mouth to try to keep from laughing, but it wasn’t working.

“Nice to have you back home,” I glared at Niall and Zayn, both standing beside my lounge chair. I didn’t know which one had thrown me yet, but I would find out. I smiled at Niall; I knew exactly how to find out which one of them did it, although I figured it was Zayn. “Niall…” I said as nicely as I could and watched his eyes got wide. He knew something was up. “Niall, who did it?” I asked. He just shook his head and looked at the ground. “You know I know most of the wait staff at Nando’s right?” His head shot up and he stared at me. “If you don’t tell me, I will tell every single one of them to make every visit you have there a bad one,” I smiled at him. His mouth dropped open as he thought about what I said. He slowly dropped his head again and pointed at Zayn. I glared at him. “And you, sir, are in for it later,” I said to Zayn.”

“Oh really? What do you plan on doing?” he asked. I rolled my eyes.

“Like I would tell you what I was gonna do, please!” I laughed and swam to the steps. I walked over and grabbed my towel to head upstairs. I heard footsteps behind me and I knew it was him. I ignored it and walked to my bedroom and grabbed a change of clothes so I could take a shower. I walked in the bathroom and turned around to see him sit on the edge of the bed. I gave him a sarcastic smile and shut and locked both the doors. I laid my change of clothes on the counter by the sink and turned the water on, setting it to the temperature I wanted. I stripped off my dirty clothes before turning and stepping in the shower. I don’t know why it had made me mad, but it did. I let the hot water run over me, hoping it would draw some of the anger out of me. I don’t know if it worked, but it did relax me a bit. I turned the water off, stepping out of the shower and drying off. I changed into my clothes and towel dried my hair before putting it in a messy bun and walking out into my room. He was sitting in the same spot. I walked around him and sat at the head of the bed, pulling out my laptop and turning it on.

“Really, Jess? Are you gonna be like that?” he asked. I looked at him and back at my computer. “Okay, two can play that game,” he said before walking out of the room. What was he doing? I got a little nervous, honestly. I wasn’t sure what he would do. I hoped it didn’t involve tickling. He hadn’t come back yet, so I checked me email, Facebook, Twitter, the usual stuff. I returned a few emails and got on Twitter. I was lucky; so far the hate was nowhere near as bad as it could be. I was thankful for that, but I knew there had to be a time that it would get bad and I wasn’t looking forward to it. He didn’t come back for a while and it was starting to get late. I walked down to the living room to see what he was doing. Tyler and Niall were the only ones there.

“Where are Iris and Zayn?” I asked. Tyler turned and looked at me.

“Iris is in the kitchen getting tea,” he said before turning back to the TV.

“Okay, where’s Zayn?” He turned back around to face me again.

“He went to bed.” I raised my eyebrows.
