~Five months later~

~Winnie's Pov~

"Go pack all your stuff." Liam said. "were leaving to go back to England tonight after the concert." All of us got finished pack and got all sent ahead of us, so basically after the concert were going straight to the airport. I got signed up for kickball and my first game is on Friday and it's Tuesday. We all gathered again and we all complained we were hungry.

~

"I'm full." I groaned and my stomach felt like it was burst. We got to the hotel and Dad was on the phone yelling. "Dad, who was that?" I was curious.

"Simon. Our opening act got sick, so now we don't know what to do." Dad said angry and Niall shot right up smiling.

"Idea, idea! Winnie, can be our opening act." Niall said smiling still.

"What? No. Yes. No. I'm scared." I said stumbling.

"You can do it!" Harry said mocking Chris Rock. Which he is terrible at.

"Fine!" I gave in because I knew I was going to lose.

"Go get changed!" Liam said. I dragged myself to get changed. I took a shower, brush my hair and teeth. I put on a white tank, a loose shirt, black skinny jeans, grey, white, and black Jordans, my necklace, and my lucky snap back.

"I'm ready." I said walking out.

"Let's go." Liam said. We got Paul and we walked to the limo. Niall was getting on my nerves!

"Niall, I swear to bob, if you say you hungry one more time your gonna regret!" I warned and he got quiet. I was looking at my phone but could feel their stares. I looked up and yep they were staring. "What?!" I was getting annoyed and they looked away.

"Lollie, what's wrong?" Ethan whispered looking concerned.

"I'm just nervous I guess." I whispered back. we finally pulled up to the place and i got out and started walking through the fans and someone took my snap back. "Give me my hat!" Liam got it from the girl and handed it back. "thanks, Liam." I hugged him.

"Your welcome." he said and we walked in. Lou pulled me in the back to get me ready.

"Ok, you can wear outfit but some mak-"

"No, no makeup." I said sternly.

"Ok, then your ready to go." she said smiling. I could hear the fans scream and I just couldn't get my stomach from being nervous. Time to go on, they handed me a mic and I walked out.

"Hey, everybody!" I said into the mic. "I got a question. If your happy to be here, scream!" they went crazy. "Well, I'm glad to be here too! And I'm going to sing skyscraper by Demi Lovato."

Skies are crying, I am watching

Catching tear drops in my hands

Only silence as it's ending

Like we never had a chance

Do you have to make me feel like

There's nothing left of me?

You can take everything I have

You can break everything I am

Like I'm made of glass

Like I'm made of paper

Go on and try to tear me down

I will be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper

Like a skyscraper

As the smoke clears, I awaken

And untangle you from me

Would it make you feel better

To watch me while I bleed?

All my windows still are broken

But I'm standing on my feet

You can take everything I have

You can break everything I am

Like I'm made of glass

Like I'm made of paper

Go on and try to tear me down

I will be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper

Like a skyscraper

Go run, run, run

I'm gonna stay right here,

Watch you disappear

Yeah, oh

Go run, run, run

Yeah, it's a long way down

But I am closer to the clouds up here

You can take everything I have

You can break everything I am

Like I'm made of glass

Like I'm made of paper

Oh Oh

Go on and try to tear me down

I will be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper

Like a skyscraper

(Like a skyscraper)

Like a skyscraper

Like a skyscraper"

I got done and the audience went crazy, cheering for ME! I went off stage and hugged the guys.

"You did awesome, angel!" Harry said. I got the same from the others, they went and preformed.

"Hey, babe!" I said hugged Ethan. He seemed tense. "what's wrong?"

"Nothing." he said.

"Where's Nick?" I asked him.

"He's...um...he went to get some fresh air." he said and I knew he was lying. I grabbed my hoodie and I walked to the side of the building and saw Nick on the ground, pissed.

"Nick, what happen?!" I asked getting next to him.

"Nothing, Winnie!" he said and pushed me.

"Nic-"

"Winnie, go!" he screamed and I flinched. He was mad.

"Nick, ca-" I felt my cheek sting and tears welled in my eyes. Not because it hurt but because he hit me. Nick, has never hit me unless we were joking. I just got tears in my eyes and put my hood on. I ran around the building into Ethan.

"Winn-"

"Ethan, please just leave me alone." I said softly. I just walked past him and then bumped into Dad.

"Hey, Winnie." he said.

"Hey, dad." I said looking down and walked past him. I walked to the limo in the parking lot and got in pulled my knees to my chest and bursted into tears. I had my hood on so you couldn't see my face. My phone vibrated.

From: Hazzy 😜

"Where are you?!"

~

To: Hazzy 😜

"In the limo."

~

From: Hazzy 😜

"Ok, were on our last song."

~

I put phone in my back pocket.

"Hey, Winnie. What's wrong? A beautiful young lady as yourself shouldn't be cry." the driver said. I climbed to the front where he was and sat down.

"My brother and I got into a argument and he slapped me. I wasn't because it hurt but because he's never hit me unless we were playing." I told him.

"Well, siblings fight but just let him cool off and just leave him alone. But, I've never seen you cry but I have seen you mad." he said and we laughed. "I have a older brother and we used to fight and argument but we never hated each other. We always would go to our rooms and slam the door and sooner or later we would make up."

"Me and Nick just always play fought. I've seen him in a real fight but he's never hit me because he's mad, he always talks to me about it." I said.

"Well, just let him cool off and I bet you make up. Now I have to pick up the boys, just climb in the back." he said smiled and I smiled back. I sat close in the inside where the paps couldn't see me. The boys came and climbed in, I put my knees to my chest again and sat like that.

"Winnie, what's wrong?" Liam whispered in my ear and I just shook my head. I stayed like that the whole ride we stopped and I kept my head down the whole time. We walked into the airport and got onto the private plane. I grabbed my blanket and pillow and laid back the seat, I got comfortable and fell into a deep sleep.

~

I felt someone shaking me to get up, I stretch and got up. I just ignored everyone and walked through airport and got to the SUV. I sat in the back with Ethan beside me, I looked out the window the whole time and when we got home, I ran straight upstairs to my room, locked my door and changed into some jogging pants, a tank top, some socks, and a messy bun. I got into bed and cried till I couldn't anymore.

"Nick, what happened when Lollie checked on you?" Ethan asked.

"None of your business. It's between me and Winnie." Nick said.

"Whatever happened had made her mute and won't talk to no one." Ethan said but had anger in his voice.

"Just don't worry about it." he said. It got quiet so I walked downstairs and into the kitchen. I got me two carrots and some tea. Someone turned me around to face them. Harry.

"What's wrong, Angel?" he asked and I shook my head. "Angel! I thought you trusted me." he had a hint of anger and hurt in his voice. I looked down. He just walked away shaking his head. I just walked out of the kitchen and through the lounge room. Someone grabbed my waist and put me on the couch and all of the boys were around me except Ethan and Nick.

"Winnie, what's wrong?" Liam asked and I shook my head.

"Winnie, your not leaving until you tell us!" Zayn said sternly.

"It's not your business." I said finally.

"It is our business, Angel." Harry said.

"Why is it your business?" I asked finally looking up.

"Because, we ca-"

"Dad, don't you dare say you care because if you did you would have came after me." I said with anger.

"Do not speak to me like that!" Dad snapped.

"Just tell us what happened." Liam said.

"I am going to say this again. It's not any of your concern." I said with a clenched jaw.

"So, were suppose to let you be a crybaby stuck in your room?" Dad asked. I stood up but Zayn grabbed grabbed my arm.

"Zayn, let. me. go." I gritted through my teeth.

"No, not until you tell us what's wrong." Liam snapped.

"Why can't you let it go?!" I yelled and Zayns grip got tighter. I clenched my fists and my jaw.

"Tell us!" Harry said.

"No!" I yelled and Zayns grip got tighter.

"Why?!" Liam shouted.

"Because, it's between me and Nick! Just let us work it out!" I yelled and Zayns grip hurt.

"Zayn, let go your hurting her!" Niall yelled. He ignored him.

"NICK!" I screamed. "let go, Zayn!"

"Wh-Zayn, let her go! Your hurting her!" Nick screamed and got mad.

"And if I don't?!" Zayn yelled.

"You'll regret it!" Nick yelled and was madder than I've every seen. Zayn, let go and stormed into the kitchen, Nick picked me up bridal style and carried me upstairs. "Winnie, are you okay?" He was laying me on my bed. He went and locked the door and back over to me. "Winnie, I didn't mean to hurt you, I swear. I was mad and i pushed you I thought would leave, but I forget you are stubborn, I slapped you but I didn't think I hurt you that bad." he had a tear fell.

"Nick, I wasn't crying because it hurt. I was crying because you never got mad at me and hit me unless we was playing. I just was so shocked couldn't get it off my mind." I explain and a few tears fell. "I knew if I told the boys or Ethan, they would be mad."

"I'm sorry, Winnie." he said and hugged me.

"I'm sorry too, Nick." I said and hugged him back. "where's Ethan?"

"In my room." he said.

"I don't see why they couldn't let us handle it. I mean they see how much we need each other and would make up eventually." I said. "Well, I was gonna fight Zayn but I didn't have the energy too." we went downstairs to eat. As soon as we turned the corner Nick was slammed against the wall by Zayn. "Zayn! Stop, please!" I was trying to pulled him.

"Get off, Winnie!" Liam screamed.

"No! Stop, Zayn!" I screamed and he pushed me. "That's it!" I grabbed his waist and yanked him back off of Nick and Zayn fell back. Nick fell on the ground. I picked him up and Ethan and Bailey walked in the door. "Ethan, take Nick upstairs." He carried him upstairs and I turned around. Zayn, was on the ground and I walked and grabbed him by collar. "Why did you do that?!" he stood up.

"Because, he hurt you!" he said and I laughed.

"Zayn, everybody in this room has hurt me and not once was the pinned against the wall!" I said getting mad. It was silent. "That's what I thought." I walked away. I got in my room and fell asleep instantly.
