Josh’s P.O.V.

Louis and I had to finish something for a class after school but we had to do it quickly because Niall was our way home and we didn’t want to keep him waiting too long.

We are just chatting away as we make our way out of the school building when we see a car speed off. I then look to where Niall always parks and see him hunched over. I now realize whose car that was.

“Shit!” I say and start running over to him, Louis following behind. “Niall what the hell happened?”

All he is able to do is hold up his index finger to tell us to give him a minute. When he finally stands up, I see the damage Harry did to him. It’s not awful but it’s pretty bad. Louis finally speaks up, “Is it broken?”

“I don’t think so but it hurts like hell! He was pissed!” Niall says before wiping his nose to get some of the blood off, wincing as he did it.

“So did you do anything to make Harry do this to you?” I ask even though I think I know the answer to my own question.

“It’s because I am friends with Tatum. He told me to stay away from her or else.”

“What an ass!” says Louis. I look over to him and see him pacing back and forth. “We have to do something about this. I’m not just gonna let my best mate get beat up because some prick wants to sleep with every girl he lays eyes on!”

“Louis breathe dude!” I say. I don’t need two people to worry about because all my focus needs to be on Niall. “Okay we get Harry doesn’t want you hanging around Tatum but why?”

“Well he is afraid I’m going to get in his way and tell her who he really is, which he isn’t wrong and I already have but she didn’t believe me. Harry has already gotten into her head,” Niall says running his hands through his hair looking really worried.

“Then if she didn’t believe you, why did he still come after you? She is still going to be his ‘friend’,” Louis questions, and I’m wondering the same thing. Clearly she is still talking to Harry so why should he worry about Niall?

Niall lets out a long sigh. “What is it Ni?” I ask because he looks like he is struggling with telling us something.

“I’ll tell you but can we do this at my place? I really need to get cleaned up.”

“Yeah I’ll drive.” So we all pile into Niall’s Range Rover, Louis in the back, Niall in the passenger seat, and me in the driver’s seat. The drive to his apartment was silent but not awkward. Within about 10 minutes we have arrived, Niall getting out to unlock his door allowing us in. Once inside Niall goes straight to his room to clean up. Louis and I both sit down waiting for him to finish.

He steps out of his room his face now free of blood and now you can see some bruising but it’s not too bad. He changed clothes also now wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt. He sits down in front of us and starts telling us why Harry is so concerned about him getting in the way of his plan.

“You both have to promise me that you will not tell anyone because I promised this person that I would keep it between us two,” Niall says completely serious. Louis and I look to each other then back at Niall and nod.
