Lacey POV
I was just putting my books in my locker when Niall came up to me.
"Hi girlfriend." Niall said cheerily. I smile and blush. "It's weird to hear you say that. But I like it. I like it a lot." I say.
Niall leans against the lockers. He takes me hand and we lace fingers. "Me too." People walk by, some staring others not. "Ewww get a room." Louis, my twin brother says when he walks by. "Goodbye Lou." I say loudly.
Niall chuckles.
"So there's a party tonight at Zayn's." I groan. "I know. I know. If you don't want to come that's fine or if you don't want me to go that's fine."
I shake my head. "No, no. I don't want to be that girlfriend. If I go, you'll feel like we should leave early and if I keep you from going....You should go have fun."
He kisses my cheek. "I will but not too much fun without you." I shake my head. "Call me when you get home safe please."
He nods and then walks off to his last period of the day. I sigh. I am so lucky to have him.

Niall POV
I get to Zayn's a little late and I can already tell everyone is a little too drunk. Zayn throws those kinds of parties. Liam claps me and Louis on the back. "Alright boys. I am your designated driver. Find me when you want to leave."
I always feel a little awkward at parties. I can't ever be my normal self. I grab a drink and sit next to Andy on the couch. "Ohh look little Niall out in the real world." He teases. I roll my eyes.
Zayn's bounces on over. "Where's your ball and chain?" He asks with a smirk. Andy laughs a bit too loud.  "At home." I mumble. Wishing that's where I was. She was having Cass and Eleanor over instead.
Zayn sips his drink. "Damn she just ain't fun." I squeeze my drink glass. "I'd stop right there if I were you." I say cooly.
Zayn meets my eyes and sees I'm serious. He puts his hands up. "Alright sorry Ni. But uhh prove me wrong then." I shrug. "Prove you wrong?" I question.  Zayn waves Josh over. "Joshy, can you get Niall a whole keg? We have to make sure there's still life in him. You know unless he'd prefer to be a boring, stand up, one woman for the rest of your life, old fart?"
I down my regular drink quickly. "You're such an asshole." I mumble.
Zayn grabs my arm and drags me to the backyard.
A crowd had emerged. They're all here to watch me fail. Zayn gets the tube ready. I put it in my mouth and Josh holds my arms up.
"Niall, wait don't do this." I look up to see Harry trying to get thru the crowd. Zayn pushes him away. "Didn't you hear Haz? Niall has something to prove."
I swallow hard and then start to chug. "Chug. Chug. Chug." The kids cheer. I almost fall backwards when I'm done.
"Ohh lookey there. There's still a spark in ya." Zayn smiles. I feel Josh lower me to the ground. "Now the test of manhood comes if he can do a second one." I look up at Zayn and scowl. "What are you trying to do? Give him alcohol poisoning?" Harry asks. I try to stand.
"No Niall. Don't." Josh whispers.
"You know what Zayn." I slur. Zayn turns to face me. "Screw you. I don't know why I'm even here. You're no friend." Zayn rolls his eyes. "Yeah ok Ni. Been friends since we were kids but if you say so. I mean what else can you expect your opinion to be after you spend time with that trashy Lacey Payne."
I push my hands into fists and cry out "Ahhhhh." And just sort of charge at Zayn. My vision is already blurred so on the ground with our arms moving fast- I can't tell what I'm imagining or what's real.
The beer seems to have set in and my body is numb to Zayn's hits.
After what feels like a long time, I feel myself getting pulled off of Zayn. Josh and Andy are holding Zayn back. "I'm gonna kill him!" Zayn screams.
"Let me at him. I'm gonna kill him."

I feel the tougher arms around me as they drag me away. "Oh god." I mumble realizing what I've done. "I'll take you back with us okay?" I look and see it's Liam who dragged me out of the fight. Harry was following us.
"Lacey's gonna kill me." I mumble. Harry eaves me off. "You were defending her." Liam puts me in the backseat of his car. I put my head in my hands. "Exactly. Have you ever met her? She hates when anyone besides herself does that."
Harry chuckles a bit. Louis opens the car door. "Ohh dude. Your whole face is....dude." Louis repeats.

The drive home is silent. When we pull up to the Payne house- I see the back lights are on. Lacey, Cassidy and Eleanor are swimming in the pool.
Liam starts to walk towards them. I pull back in Louis's sleeve. "I can't." I mumble feeling myself start to get sick either from nerves or alcohol. Louis pulls me up and over to my girl.
Everything is kinda blurry but I see her climb out of the pool and throw a T-shirt on.
Her welcoming smiles fades when she sees me. "Oh my god, Ni. What the hell happened?" She pulls me into her arms. Her soft cool skin feels good in what I now feel as my throbbing skin.

i hear Liam start to mention the fight but I mumble into Lacey's ear. "I don't feel good." Lacey turns away from Liam. "Let's get you fixed up." She pulls me inside and up to her bathroom. She leaves to get something and I start to fall asleep.

Lacey POV
I leave Ni on the bathroom floor yet again as I try to find some cleaning stuff for his face. It's truly a mess. His nose is gushing blood and the rest of his face will be bruised tomorrow.

When I return to the bathroom I find him crying. "Ni, what's wrong babe? What hurts?" He sniffles. "M...m...my heart." I squint. "What?" Wondering if he's having chest pain. "My heart hurts. I don't want you to break up with me." I chuckle. "Niall, I'm not breaking
up with you." His eyes go wide. "Really?" I nod. "Yay!" He cheers. Then his face greens and I move him in front of the toilet just in time for him to puke.
I shake my head. "Nope. No breakup. Not today at least." I smile to myself.
I really do love his dumb ass.

I bring him to bed. "You can tell me all about this fight tomorrow." I say as I make him drink a whole bottle of water. He just nods and curls into my pillows. I wiped his face mostly clean. But I really just want him to rest.

I walk down to see the other boys. Harry and Cassidy are laughing in the pool. And my brothers are sitting talking intensely to Eleanor.
"So what happened?" I ask casually. Liam looks at his feet. Louis throws his hands up. "I was distracted when it all went down." I roll my eyes. That's code for he was with a girl. "As expected." I say not missing the sad look on Eleanor's face. Liam scratches his head. "In short. Zayn said something about him. The first time Niall did a keg to prove he was cool. Then Zayn said something about you and Niall just...had something to prove." I shake my head. "Well I guess he proved it." Liam smiles. "Yes he sure did."
