"Baby you light up my world like nobody else!"  My alarm clock went off, and I slammed my hand that was injured on the side table.  "Ohmyflippingmotherohhhhgod."  I clutched my hand.  This was a great start off to a horrible day.  Niall was already out of bed, thankfully.  My hand was really purple and swollen today, and I should probably tell Niall.  I got up, brushed my hair, and wiped the makeup out from under my eyes.  I pulled on some sweat pants, and one of Niall's Jack Wills hoodies.  I heard pots banging around downstairs, and I prayed that Louis wasn't cooking again.  Just as I walked out of Niall's room, I smelled pancakes.  If Niall already ate them all, I'm going to be a very ticked off little girl.  Liam was cooking the food, so I decided I should go apologize.  "How's Kat?"  "Fine."  This was not going to be fun.  "I'm really sorry about the other day.  I just lost my temper and I shouldn't have hit her."  He didn't say anything for a while, but then he looked at me.  "I forgive you.  I think Kat misses her best friend, too."  I smiled.  "Really?"  He nodded.  "I'll go apologize later.  Have you seen Niall?"  "He's in Louis room."  I walked up the stairs to Louis' room, and he and Niall were talking about a song.  "Hey, Ash!"  Louis almost screamed.  "Hi, Lou.  Umm, Niall you busy?"  "No, we were just finishing.  What's up?"  I started playing with my hands, and that was a bad idea, considering one of them barely worked.  "I might've possibly hurt my hand."  "Let me see it."  I held my hand out in front of me, and Louis gasped.  Niall put his under mine, and let it rest there.  "Ash, what happened?"  He didn't take his eyes off of it.  "I punched Kat, then a girl at the club.  I accidentally put my thumb inside my fist."  "We need to take you to the doctor."  My eyes grew wide.  "No, I'll do anything but go to the doctor.  Please don't make me go."  I've been scared of hospitals since I was little.  "I'll be with you the whole time.  I promise."  I sighed.  "I'll go get the car."  Lou grabbed his keys, and left.  "It's going to be ok, Ashley.  I won't let go of your hand."  I smiled.  He grabbed my non-injured hand and we walked out of the room.  "Be right back, Liam."  Niall said as we passed by him.  We went down the flight of stairs, and all got in the front seat of the van.  "Ready?"  "Ready as I'll ever be."  Niall squeezed my hand reassuringly, and Lou started driving.  "Hey, Ash.  Some lady named Judy called today."  I sighed.  "Did she say anything?"  "No, she wanted you to call her back." Oh, great.  I pulled out my phone, and dialled the jail number.  "This is Judy speaking."  "Hey, it's Ashley."  She squeeled excitedly. "Oh, Ashley!  Great news.  Your dad said yes to living with Mr. Tomlinson!"   "You're not kidding me, are you?"  "Nope."  I screamed.  "Lou, he said yes to me living with you guys!"  He slammed on the brakes, and turned to hug me.  "That's great!  I'm so happy."  I hung up the phone accidentally, but I would talk to her later.  "Ok, I know I'm usually confused, but can someone tell me what's going on?" Niall said.  I forgot he didn't know about aything that's been going on the last couple of days.  "Well, you dont know much about my family, so I'll tell you the short version.  When I was 12 years old, my dad murdered my mom right in front of me.  I don't really know why he did it, but he did.  Then I called the cops on my dad, and when they got there he told me 'if I ever get out of jail, you're going to end up like your mother.'  And today, he's getting out of jail."  Louis didn't know what my father said to me, so he was even shocked.  Niall and Louis were both completely speechless as we kept driving.  "But, anyway.  The reason Judy called is that my dad said I can stay with you guys, and they're not makng me live with him."  "They were actually going to make you live with him?!"  Niall was in disbelief.  "Yep."  He shook his head. "That's absolutely insane."  I nodded.  "We're here, Ashley."  I tensed up, but then Niall started rubbing circles on my hand with his thumb.  I looked up at him and he smiled.  "Don't be afraid.  I'm right here...always."  We went in the sliding doors to the ER, and there were ony a few people.  We walked up to the front desk, and the lady greeted us with a warm smile.  "Hi, my friend here has injured her hand badly, and we need to have it looked at."   She typed on her computer for a while.  "Ok, can I have a name, please?"  "Ashley."  She handed me a clipboard, but I handed it to Lou.  since it was my right hand, I couldn't write.  "Full name."  "Ashley Grace Molton."  He continued to write stuff down like birthday, parents, and stuff like that.  He wrote himself down as my legal guardian then smiled.  Niall went up to the front to take the clipboard back, then came back and held my hand again.  Louis didn't seem to notice, but I didn't really care because he was like my brother.  A girl walked in, and looked at me, then Niall.  "Niall!  Like ohhhmygoshhh."  It was hard to understand her, because all of her words ran togther.  She ran and gave him a hug.  "How have you been, baby?"  Baby?  Uh, no.  This ain't gonna fly.  "Yeah, Lauren.  You see, I rejected you like a year ago, so I thought you might get the message that I don't like you."   She frowned.  "Yes you do!  Silly boy.  Don't let this...thing get in the way."  She gestured to me as the 'thing' and I totally lost it.  "You know what you can go do?  Shove it up your fake butt, and go cry to one of the other guys you've had sex with in the past week."  "Oh, you did not just say that."  I smirked.  "Oh yeah.  I kinda did."  She brought her arm back and was about to smack me in the face, but I quickly blocked it my right hand.   That was a huge mistake, because I could no longer move anything from my elbow down.  My hand hurt so bad, that I thought I was going to have to had it amputated.  As Niall stood up, I kicked her in the shins and she yelped out in pain.  "Ashley?"  A nurse walked out.  "This is not over, tramp."  I turned around and grabbed Niall's hand, walking to the doorway the nurse was in.  She took us back to a room, and I sat on Niall's lap in a chair since there was only one.  "So, you're here for an injury on your hand?"  I nodded.  "Let me just look at it.  I held it out, and she touched it.  "Does this hurt?"  "Yes."  She touched a different spot.  "Does this hurt?"  "Yes."  Once aain, she touched another spot.  "Does th-"  "MY WHOLE FREAKING HAND HURTS!"  She gave me a mean look, and Niall said, "Sorry, she's kind of freaked out by the whole hospital thing."  The lady nodded, and walked out.  A different nurse came in.  "Hun, can you follow me please?  Your friend can come too."  I stood up, and followed her.  She took us back to a huge room with a slver table in the middle, and an x-ray machine.  "We're going to x-ray your hand, and see what's wrong."  She made me sit down, and put that floor length thing in front of me.  "1-2-3."  She took it, then led us back to our room. 'We'll have the results in a couple of hours, so why don't you come back leter?  We'll give you a call."  "Ok, thanks."  We went back out to Louis, and he stood up. "They're going to call us when the x-rays are ready."  Niall told Louis.  "Let's go eat, I'm hungry.  Nandos?"  I nodded.  Niall hadn't let go of my hand the whole time, except when the lady made him stand outside for my x-ray.  We drove to Nandos, and ate, and talked.  "So after we get the results, do you mind dropping me off at my old house so I can get my stuff?"  "We're not going to leave you by yourself.  We'll help you."  I smiled.  "Baby you light up my world like nobody else."  My phone started ringing.  I shoud really change that ringtone..."Hello?"  "Is this Ashley?"  It was the lady at the front desk.  "Yes."  "We have your x-ray results ready."  "Thanks, were on our way."   I grabbed Niall's hand under the booth, and leaned my head on his shoulder.  "Are they done?"  "Yep."  We walked to the car, and all got in the front seats.  The hospital was very crowded when we got back, and I was thankful we didn't have to wait through that crap again.  The nurse took all three of us this time, back into the same room.  "Well, here are your x-rays."  He hung them up on the board with the light behind it.  "Ok, and are you going to tell us what's wrong or..."  I said trying to be as patent as possible, but failing.  The doctor turned and looked at Niall.  "She's a keeper."  I rolled my eyes.  "Well right here, there is a fracture in your first metocorpol.  You have also fractured your scaphoid, which will take time to heal due to the lack of blood circulation."  "So, do I have to have a cast?"  He shrugged.  "Do you play sports, or have any crazy siblings?"  I looked at Lou and Niall.  "Not really."  They laughed.  "Then I think a splint will do just fine."  I was thankful not to have a cast, but sad because I would have to be careful and wear it for a long time.  They gave me my splint, and I put it on.  "Thanks."  I said as we left the hospital room.  We got in the van, and I gave Louis directions to my house.  Thay didn't know it was Kat's house too, but they would figure it out eventually.  "Third house to the right."  I said as we turned onto my street.  "Now, Mrs. and Mr. Valentine are kind of strict, but they're not here.  Don't brake anything.  They're Kat's parents by the way."  "Got it."  We walked in, and through the kitchen.  "No food, Niall.  Upstairs."  He frowned, but reluctantly followed me.  My room was grey with a purple bedspread, and 1D posters everywhere.  Mostly Niall, but there were some other ones too.  "This is scary, Ashley."   I blushed.  "Yeah I uhh...forgot about my posters."  "I can see who your favorite is."  Louis winked at me, and I blushed even more.  Niall put his arm around me, and smiled.  "You're cute when you're embarassed."  I sware, if I wasn't as red as a tomato before, I sure am now.  "I better start packing."  I opened my closet, but there were only like three things in there.  "Georgia."  "Georgia?"  I let out a frustrated groan.  "Yes, it's Kat's sister.  She's only a year younger, and we wear the same size."  They simultaniously said, "Oh."  then followed me when I walked out.  "Georgia?  It's Ashley."  I loved Georgia.  She was like my own little sister.  The door opened, and she started screaming.  I wasn't sure why, but I was guessing that it was because I had 2/5 of One Direction standing behind me.  Georgia was a  major Directioner, but she was too young to get any of them.  Except maybe Harry..."Georgia, calm down.  These are my friends Louis and Niall.  They're just here to help me pack."  She nodded, but was still shaking.  "Now, where are all of my dang clothes?"  She walked over to her closet, and opened the door.  Sure enough, there were my clothes.  I started grabbing everything that was mine, and throwing it into a bag.  "So, Georgia.  Who's your favorite in One Direction?"  "Well, I like you all...but if I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be Harry."  She smiled really big.  "Her dream is to meet Harry."  Louis gasped. "I happen to know Harry.  Maybe you would like to come along and meet him at our house?"  Georgia couldn't move.  I sware, I really thought she  was going to pass out.  "Georgia?  Do you want to spend the night?"  She nodded, not moving anything but her head.  I laughed.  "Let's get to packing, then."  I finished cramming everything into my first bag,  and went back into my room.  Louis stayed to help Georgia pack, but Niall follwed me.  "Ok, I need my shoes."  I walked into my closet, and got every pair of shoes I could find.  I threw them all at where Niall was previously satnding so he could put them in a bag, but he wasnt there.  "Niall?"  I walked out of my closet, and he was looking at my picture wall.  "Is this her?"  I nodded.  It was a picture of me and my mom.  "You look a lot like her."  "I get that a lot."  I smiled sadly at the memory of everyone telling me that.  Niall turned to look at me, and gave me a hug.  "I love you, Ash.  You know that, right?"  I looked into his eyes.  He really did love me.  It wasn't just like when your bestfriend says 'love ya'.  It was real love.  "I love you too, Niall.  So much."  I wrapped my arms back around him, and we didn't let go, until Louis walked in.  "You read- oh, am I interrupting something?"  "No, not at all."  I sighed.  He shook his head.  "Ok, whatever you say."  We got my bags, and Niall had over half of them.  "You got it?"  He nodded.  We got in the car, but I sat in the back with Georgia.  "You excited?"  "Did you really have to ask?!"  She was practically bouncing in her seat.  We listened to the radio the whole way home, and Louis and Niall asked Georgia facts about themselves.  "When's Niall's birthday?"  "September 13th."  She didn't even have to think before answering.  "When's mine?"  "December 24th."  Louis started laughing.  "What is my favorite food?"  "Cookie dough."  We all turned and looked at her.  "This is a creepy girl."  Louis said.  "Hey, I'm just dedicated!"  We pulled up to the apartment, and I could tell Georgia was really nervous.  We walked up the flight of stairs, and stood in front of our appartment door.  "Here it is.  Deep breath, Georgia."  Louis put his hand on her back, and we laughed.  Niall put the key in the lock, and turned it, opening the door.  "We're home!"  Louis screamed.  Zayn and Harry came running around the corner, and Georgia grabbed my arm to steady herself.  Harry locked eyes with her, and they totally zoned out from everyone else.  "Harry, this is Georgia.  She is a huge fan of yours, and also Kat's younger sister.  She is going to spend the night."  Niall winked at him.  "Hi Georgia, I'm Harry.  It's nice to meet you."  He shook her hand, and she blushed.  "Hi, nice to meet you too."  "Would you like a tour of the appartment?"  He smirked.  You big FLIRT.  "That would be great."  She smiled.  They went upstairs, and Louis said, "Well, I guess we won't be seeing them until later tonight."  Niall and I laughed.  "Let's go put your stuff in Niall's room."  Louis took some of my bags, and headed up the stairs.  "I guess I should tell Kat that her sister is here.  I'll be right back, Niall."  He went upstairs with the remaining bags.  I knocked on Kat's door, and Liam answered it.  "Hey, Liam. Can I talk to Kat?"  He smiled reassuringly, and left.  "Hey, Kat."  She didn't even acknowledge my existence.  "Look, I'm really sorry about the whole punching thing.  I just got mad, and didn't know how else to take my anger out."  She looked up, and had a huge bruise on her jaw.  "Did I do that?"  I put my hand over my mouth.  "No, I just punched myself."  Well, there's the Kat I know and love.  "I'm so sorry.  If it makes you feel any better, I hurt my hand and had to go to the hospital."  "REVENGE!"  I laughed.  "So are we good?"  She pretended to think, but I already knew her answer.  "I guess so..."  I hugged her.  "Guess who's spending the night?"  She shrugged.  "Georgia!"  "I don't live here!  You never saw me."  I laughed.  "Don't worry, I think Harry is taking care of her."  I winked.  "HE BETTER NOT TOUCH GEORGIA!"  "They're in his room right now."  Her eyes grew wide.  "I'm gonna kill that terd bucket."

Ok, I am terribly sorry I haven't uploaded :( a lottt of stuff going on lately.  That is totally unacceptabe, and hopefully I will be able to write more often this week.

One Direction is coming to Dallas March 24, and we had to get wristbands to be able to meet them.  I woke up at 3:30a.m. and went to the stonebriar mall in Dallas.  We get there and there are over one thousand girls already, and the mean security guard told us we had to stay in our car.  At about 7:00, they announced we could line up at the mall entrance, so all two thousand girls sprinted to the stairs where another security guard was blocking it.  To say the least, one girl got stepped on, one girl fell and cracked her head open, someone pushed me into a pipe, and I couldn't breathe for about two minutes, a fat man shoved my mom into a brick wall, and there were ambulances everywhere.  We finally got inside, and we had to wait in a huge line for 4 hours.  So when it was FINALLY our turn....WE GOT THE WRISTBANDS!  I'M MEETING 1D MARCH 24!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  OMGOMG I'M DYING!!!!!!!!!  It was so worth it...
