"How are you, Nicole?" Liam asked with what was clearly worry in his voice.

"I'm doing good." I bit my cheek and looked at the ground.

"You don't need to lie to us, love." He nudged me with his elbow.

"Wow Liam, still persistent as ever." I giggled nudging him back.

"Nicole! Are you okay? I saw what happened." Chris rambled as he pushed past the Louis and Harry to wrap me in his arms. I hugged him back before pulling him back to tell him I was fine.

"Nicole who's this?" Niall question with a smirk as he raised his eyebrows at me.

"Oh right! Niall, Liam, Louis and Harry, this is Chris! My boyfriend." I gushed. All the boys shook hands and greeted him but I couldn't help notice Louis looked slightly annoyed.

"Well Nicky, we should get going were gonna miss the new episode of friends babe!" He said lacing our fingers together.

"Oh well it was nice seeing you boys maybe we"ll see each other soon?" I smile at all of the and me and Chris turn to exit the cafe.

"Wait Nicole!" Niall shouted making me and Chris stop walking and I turned around. I shot his a confused look along with all the other boys.

"We're going to a club tonight. You and Chris should come. It'll give up all time to catch up. Yeah?" He asked sweetly.

"I don't know Niall... We don't want to intrude." I reply glancing over at Chris momentarily.

"No worrie, You won't be intruding. Your always welcome to hang with us Nic Nic!" Niall smiled at me happily, excited that he is using my old nickname.

"Well be there." Chris anwsers for me. Then me and Niall all exchange number before we leave. Me and Chris walk to the car hand in hand and the boys sit in a corner booth back at the cafe.

"Those lads seem nice? Those the ones form high school we saw on TV this morning?" He asked me as I buckle my belt and he ignited the car.

"Yeah, I haven't seen them in years!" I fake smile remembering the reason why. I'm such a cowered. I shouldn't of ran away. Louis probably thinks I'm a bitch. And so must the other guys. The rest of the ride was Chris being his normal self. Talking about his friends, cracking jokes which always made me laugh, and singing horrible to the newest break up song Taylor Swift has managed to create. When we got to our flat I went straight to my bathroom to take a shower. I grabbed some sweats and a oversized shirt to put on while I waited to get ready for clubbing, still awaiting the text from Niall about what time we needed to be there. I hopped in the shower and shaved. I washed my hair with my brown sugar shampoo as well before getting out. It was already 4:30 in the afternoon and still no text from Niall. Maybe he changed his mind.

I slipped into the cloths I brought in and blow dried my hair. I heard my phone buzz on the bathroom counter beside me. I picked I up seeing it was from Niall.

Hey Nic Nic! We decided to go to the club at around 7 so you should probably start getting ready. I don't know about Chris but you take forever to do your girly things. I've already texted lover boy so no worries. See you at 7 sharp! ;) -Niall



I smiled at the his text then skip over to my room to start getting ready. I look through my closet longingly trying to find the perfect outfit for tonight. I want to impress Chris and Louis. Chris is more safisticated and Louis is more colorful and artsy. Or at least that how I remember him. Eleanor could of changed him for all I know. I roll my eyes and go back to browsing my wardrobe. Just then I spot the perfect dress. I squeal and ran to the bathroom to get ready.

---

"Nicole time to go!" I heard Chris inform me from the bottom of the stairs. I look in the mirror one more time. Smiling my freshly brushed teeth in the mirror before making my way out of my room. I slowly walk down the stairs being sure I don't fall in these 6 inch heels. Chris turned around when the bottom step creeked and looked at me with awe.

"Close your mouth, love. You don't want to catch a fly." I smirk as his jaw I swear is laying on the floor.

"Y-y-you look...w-wow!" He stuttered continuing to stare.

"Thanks! Now let's go so I can party!" I giggle as I shake my butt in a joking manner. He grabbed my jacket out of the closet and helped me slip it on. The dress was so short my jacket covered it up making it look like I wasn't wearing anything under the coat. We walked out to the car and quietly drove to the club.

When we get there it's extremely crowded and there was a long line wrapped around the building.

"Ugh! Please don't tell me we have to wait in that huge fucking line!" I whined as we walked from the car to the building. Chris ignored me and just walked up to the bouncer.

"Nicole Oakley and Christopher Eddison." Chris said as the bouncer looked at his clipboard and smiled up at us.

"Right this way to the V.I.P lounge." We walked through all the sweaty crowds of people and I slipped my coat off as we walked so I could fit in with everyone's attire. When we got near a door At what I thought was the back of the club, he unlocked it and opened it up to show us a whole not her room with a bar and dance floor. The room was filled with less people, But it was still very crowded. There was a huge sign hanging over the bar that read 'VIP LOUNGE'.

"Your group is sitting in the booth all the way in the back on the right side of the isle." He addressed us as he turned around and started to walk back to the front of the building.

Me and Chris follow the mans instruction to the table with all of the lads. There were two girls sitting with there backs to me in the booth but I just though they were fans and shrugged it off. Chris placed his hands on my hips and pushed me over to the table. Now I'm feeling a bit nervous. Maybe I should of lied and said we had plans tonight just to get out of seeing Louis. I'm still not over what he did to me. I don't think I can ever forgive him. He hurt me. Not just physically, but emotionally too.

"Hey boys!" Chris yelled as we made our way over to the table." All the boys and the two girls quickly shot their heads over to us as we stood in front of the table.

"Aye mate. Good to see you again!" Niall said as he got up form the booth to give my boyfriend a bro-hug or whatever boys call it.

"Nic Nic! Thanks for coming. The boys and I really missed you, and wanted to hang out again like old times." He smiled at me kissing my cheek and pulling me in for a quick hug.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world!" I chuckled at his childishness.

"Well Nicole you look great! Only changed a little since we saw you last." Harry said cheekily. Before Niall ushered us to sit. I ended up sitting on Chris's lap between Harry and Niall.

"Oh this is my girlfriend Danielle and that's Louis's girlfriend Eleanor." Liam pointed out and I finally realized who they were. I haven't met Danielle but I unfortunately have met Eleanor.

"Yeah. I know who they are. It's nice to meet you both." I fake a smile towards the Eleanor but a real on towards Danielle. I think I just threw up in my mouth. I should of walked up and bitch smacked her but I'm pretty sure that wouldn't end well for either of us.

"Well now that we're here, let's get some drinks. Anyone want to come with me? I'm pretty sure I'm gonna need help with all the beverages I'll order." I laugh lightly.

"I'll come!" Someone said. I looked over and see Louis scooting up and out of the booth. Oh You've go to be kidding me.

"No, no need. I can get it myself."I told him with an obviously very fake smile.

"No I'm coming with you. We need to talk about a few things anyway." I wasn't ready to talk about what he meant by 'A few things' I know exactly where this is going. He's gonna talk to me about that day. I walk over to the bar with Louis only a few feet behind me.

"What can I get you babe?" The bartender smirked at me.

"I'll take 4 shots of the strawberry vodka and add what he wants." I'm sure he knows what everyone likes better then I would. Harry was right I have changed since high school. Hardly in looks but more in personality. I would never drink at parties but after what happened I started drinking when I was out at a club or bar or even at most parties I attended. I can tell Louis noticed the change when he heard I ordered vodka shots. He looked at weird but I just ignore it. He did this to me. He should see how must he changed me when he left me for that hoe sitting back at the booth.

"Coming right up mate." The bartender saidafter Louis order his and the other drinks.

I sat down on one of the stools at the bar and prepared myself to 'talk'. Louis sat down a stool away from me being sure not to get to close.

"I'm sorry Nicole. For everything. I know you probably hate me, and trust me I hate myself to for what I did to you." Louis said looking at me. But I refuse to look at him cause I know if I do, I'll break just like I did last time. And we all know how that ended.

"What part are you sorry about? Ditching me or using me like a fucking rag doll?" I asked him slightly pissed off.

"I'm sorry for all of it. I let my anger get out of control and I know that's not how I should of handled the situation. You know me Nicole, I would never do that on purpose. I'll never do it again. And now that your finally back in my life I don't want to lose you again. When you left Doncaster. I went straight to your house to see if you were okay, but you were already gone. I didn't know where you were, and I was scared that you had gotton lost so I told your mom to call me when you got home. But you never came home. Then I realized I fucked up big time."

"You did way more then fucked up!" I seethed through clenched teeth.

"Nicole, Please I'm sorry. I would never do anything to hurt you again. Never!" He told me getting up from his seat and standing in front of me.

"Please Nicole, just give me another chance? I miss my best friend. I miss hanging out with you. I miss your horrible joke. I miss your puppy dog eyes when you beg me for the mint chocolate chip ice cream in my freezer." He chuckled. I giggled along with him. When I noticed he was about to cry.

"Louis, you broke me."

"I know love, I know. But please, can you give me one more chance? I promise,I won't hurt you again. I promise." he begged grabbing my hands gently as he looked into my eyes. I felt like crying. I missed him, But deep down I know that I'm still broken and I don't want it to be him that puts me back together. But then again maybe he can fix this. Maybe he can fix me. Better yet, maybe he can fix us...
