“Why are you wearing a scarf babe? Its roasting out!” niall queried.
“Oh I was a bit cold this morning.” Lame excuse, I know.
“Why don’t you take it off? I’ll keep you warm.” He whispered, planting a small kiss on my jaw line.
I shook my head.
“No its fine.”
“Aw come on Mickie. Here, I’ll take it off for you.” he said as he un-raveled the scarf from around my neck, revealing the big cut.

Everyone at the table gasped at the sight of it.


Niall gazed down at me with disappointment and anger in his eyes. I turned away as I couldn’t look him in the eye.

He got up off his seat and stormed out of the cafeteria, leaving everyone else gob smacked and confused over what they had just witnessed.
I stood up and followed him out.


Niall’s P.O.V:


I couldn’t believe that Mickie was lying to me.

“Niall… wait.” Mickie called after me.
“What do you want Mickie?” I asked, aggravated.
“I’m sorry.” She looked down at her feet.
“How did you get that cut?” I questioned, knowing full well what the answer would be but I wanted to hear it from her.
She opened her mouth to speak; I knew she was thinking of an excuse.
“Don’t lie to me Mickie.” I remarked sternly.
She sighed heavily and looked down again.
“Your sister’s cut you last night when you came home, didn't they?” I quizzed.
She nodded.
“Why?” I queried.
“I wasn’t allowed to go over to your house last night. And they fact that I cried didn't make the problem any better.” She replied.

I lifted her chin up to face me.

“But Andrea said you could go, right?” I raised an eyebrow at her.
“Yeah, but of course Claire and Emma weren’t too happy to see that their rooms weren’t cleaned.” She shrugged.
“Did you tell them that Andrea said you could go?” I asked.
“Yeah but there’s no use in trying to reason with them. Especially if they’re in a bad mood.” She told me.
“For god’s sake Mickie. That’s awful. Does it hurt?” I quizzed.
“Just a little bit.” She replied quietly.

I put my arms out and pulled her in for a hug.

“Now why couldn’t you have told me that in the first place?” I queried, crossing my arms.
“I don’t need to tell you every little thing my sisters’ do to me.” She giggled, but quickly stopped when she saw that I was less then amused.
“I know, but I’d prefer if you would tell me rather than lying or trying to hide it from me.” I spoke softly as I could see she had a look of pain in her eyes.
“I’m sorry.” She whispered.
“Don’t be. Just promise me that there will be no mores between us.” I smiled stroking her cheek.
“I promise.” A smile graced on her lips as I pulled her into my grasp once again.

“Let’s go. I don’t want to be late for class!” I grinned as

I brought her down the corner, our fingers entwined with one
another.

“So you’re a good boy now! Being on time for class and doing what you’re told, what’s gotten into you?” she smirked.
“I guess you have a good influence on me.” I winked, causing her to chuckle.

I had art ext whilst Mickie had drama. So we both parted our separate ways and sprinted into class.

Mickie’s P.O.V:

I strolled alongside Amanda on the way home as niall had football training after school.

“So what are you and zayn going to see in the cinema?” I asked her.
“Were not sure yet. He wants to see an action movie but I want to watch a Rom-Com.” She replied.
“He’s a big softy anyways so I’d say he doesn’t want to go to a Rom-Com because he doesn’t want you to see him crying!” I winked.
“Oh trust me, I’ve seen him cry a LOT!” she giggled.
“AW! Or he might want to go to the action movie so you’ll get frightened and cuddle up to him!” I suggested.
“You’re right! The cheeky bastard! Maybe we can watch a thriller to scare him to death!” she laughed.
“PERFECT idea!” I agreed.
“Are you sure you don’t want to come?” she queried.
“Yes I’m fine. You and zayn have fun my love!” I smiled.

We walked in silence for a moment.


“You know, zayn is really fond of you.” She nudged me in the arm.
“Really?” I asked in shock.
“Yeah! When he saw that you were upset yesterday, he wouldn’t shut up about you! And he’s the one who suggested that you should come to the cinema with us!” she explained.
“AW! Zayn is such a sweetie-pie!” I beamed.
“Yeah I know! I’m very lucky to have him!” she remarked.
“And he’s the luckiest guy to have you Hun!” I grinned at her.
“Thank you so much Mickie.” She blushed.

We reached her house and she began to root in her bag in search for her house key.

“See you tomorrow! Have a brilliant time at the cinema and tell zayn I said hi!” I told her.
“Will do! See you tomorrow Hun! Bye!” she waved as she stepped into her house.


I continued walking to my house and reached it about 10 minutes later.


Amanda’s P.O.V:


6pm........


*Knock Knock*


I jogged down the stairs and opened the door, revealing a smiley zayn at my doorstep.

“ZAYN!!!” I beamed as I jumped into his arms.
“Hey babe. You ready?” He winked.
“Yeah, just let me get my handbag.” I replied as I sprinted upstairs, grabbed my handbag and walked back down.

Zayn put out his hand and I took it, our fingers entwined together as we waltzed out the door and into his car.

We got to the cinema about 15 minutes later. We looked at the listings to see what was on.

“How about this one?” zayn quizzed, pointing to a movie called ‘The flood.’
“Are you sure zayn?” I asked him, fully-aware of his fear of water.
“Yeah. Come on, let’s go. I'm paying!” he told me.
“Uh ok!” I spoke as he dragged me away.
We took our seats in the cinema and waited for the movie to start.
“Just tell me if you’re scared, ok babes?” zayn smirked.
“Don’t worry. I will.” I said between gritted teeth.

The movie began and I braced myself for the worst.


10 minutes later.......


“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!” zayn shrieked as he sprinted out of the cinema.
I sighed and followed him.


Well, that went well!
