I walked back into the room with Harry and sat on Ethan's lap

"I don't love Niall" I repeated to myself

Niall walked in a few moments after with a large bowl of popcorn

He passed it around without making eye contact with me

I felt my heart sink and Ethan must have noticed

"Baby? You okay?" He asked with a worried look

I nodded "Yup" And he smiled

We watched the movie in silence when Ethan's phone, which was on the coffee table beside us, rang

I went to reach for it but he quickly grabbed it

"Hello, yeah, of course, be there soon, love you too" He said into the phone

I gave him a "WTF" look and he smiled "My mom wants me to help her clean up around the house"

I nodded and gave him a kiss before he got up and left

"Nice meeting you guys" Ethan said as he closed the door

"Finally" Harry muttered which earned a smack from Liam

"It's fine, I shouldn't have invited him. I didn't know it would be awkward. I just thought you guys would get on" I mumbled

"Well, I have to go home to me mom" Niall said as he left and slammed the door

"What's wrong with him" I asked

The boys looked at each other "We'll talk to him" Liam said

"Thanks" I laughed as they pulled me into a group hug

I flopped into bed and buried my face into the fluffy pillow

My phone buzzed

From Nialler<3

I am in love with you

I gasped and felt my heart beating faster. I don't know why I was so happy, I just was. I couldn't stop the giggles and squeals from coming out of my mouth in fits

My phone buzzed again

From Nialler<3

Sorry, Harry hacked me.

My heart sunk

I went to sleep feeling sick

"Do I have feelings for my best friend?" I kept repeating to myself

I got up and saw I had a miss call

"Please be Ni-"

Missed Call From Ethan :)

I called him back

"Hey babe" He said happily

"Hey, why'd you call?" I asked

"I wanted to know if you wanted to have some fun?" He said and I could tell he was winking

"I don't know. I'm not in the mood" I half lied

I just didn't want to see him, let alone have sex

I'm a virgin still. I prefer to wait until marriage

We've done some four play but that's about it

He wants me to do it

But I always just say something like "Oh, I'm on my period" Or "I'm have a cold"

"Well, do you wanna come over?" He asked

"Sure why not" I said trying to sound happy when I was really annoyed

I hung up and threw on sweatpants and a white T shirt

I tied my hair into a high bun and threw on my sneakers before I walked out the door

I rung Ethan's bell and he let me in

I sat on his couch while he went to take a quick shower

His phone buzzed and for some reason, I was feeling extra nosey, so I picked it up to see who it was

From Kalania

Hmmmm, baby. I like that ;)

"What the fuck" I thought to myself

I unlocked his phone so I could read all their messages

To Kalania

You're so hot when you do that ;)

From Kalania

I love it when you shove it all in me

I gasped at everything I was reading

He was cheating on me!

I scrolled and saw they were exchanging photos of very sexual things!

"Ummm, baby? What are you doing?" Ethan asked, panicked

I turned and saw he was only in a towel

He probably thought he was gonna get something outta me

"What the hell!" I shouted as I threw his phone at him

"What?" He said innocently as he took a step towards me

"Don't play dumb ass with me!" I yelled as I stepped back

"Baby, I don't kno-"

"Kalania? Who the f*ck is that?" I said as I place a hand on my hip

"Baby, she's just a co-worker. Why did she call or something" He said calmly as he placed a hand on my cheek

I slapped his hand "Well, I read your texts!" I yelled

"Wha-"

"You are sexting her! You are cheating on me! You had sex with her who knows how many times! You are such a dick!" I shouted as I slapped his cheek, leaving a bright red hand print

"You did not just do that" He fumed

I started to run to the door but he grabbed my leg

I hit my head on the floor and groaned with pain

He dragged me and rolled me onto my back

He straddled me and pinned my arms above my head

 "You are not leaving me!" He spat at me

"Okay!" I cried

"Say you love me!" He shouted

"I- lo-v-e you!" I cried

"Good" He smiled before hitting my head

Everything turned black

I woke up in bed with Ethan

I just got raped

HOLY SHIT

I just got raped!

I grabbed my clothes and threw them on without making a noise

I tiptoed out of the room and ran to the door

I ran a few blocks from his house and started to walk once I was far from where he was

People around the busy street I was walking was on were giving me weird looks

I decided to call Harry to come pick me up since Niall wasn't really speaking to me

I walked to the park and Harry came in his car

"Hurry, I don't want to get mobbed by- whoa what happened?" He gasped

"What?" I asked as I climbed into his car

"Look in the mirror" He said glancing at me

I pulled down the little mirror in the front seat on the roof of the car and screamed

My lip was cut, my head had a large wound, and bruises covered my entire face

I started to cry as I remebered how I got them

"Claire, what happened?" Harry asked again

I couldn't get out anything but sobs and cries

Harry wrapped his arm around me

"Shhhhhhh" He cooed

I calmed my breath and fell asleep

"OH MY BABY! WHAT HAPPENED!" My mom shouted as I walked in with Harry

"Ethan.. He-He" I stuttered as I sat onto the couch

Harry wrapped his arm around me and calmed me down again

I tried to talk about it again but my breath hitched

"Shhh, don't say anything, shh" Harry whispered

Harry laid down and I laid beside him, in his arms

It was like having a dad to hold you to sleep, something I didn't have for very long

"You are just like a sister to me, you know that right?" Harry asked

"Yes, thanks Harry" I smiled before dozing off

I woke up to muffled voices coming from the kitchen

I tiptoed over and heard Niall and Harry

"Why didn't she call me?" Niall huffed as he munched on a cookie

"Well, you haven't really been a friend to her lately" Harry muttered

"What? What are you to her? You weren't her best friend for like a billion years! You don't love her!" Niall fumed

"I do love her. As a sister. The least I could do was be what she doesn't have. When she needed someone. A dad.  A brother. A best friend." Harry said

"Well, what if I don't want to be her best friend anymore?" Niall muttered

He didn't want to be friends anymore? What? Why?

"Niall, you don't mean that.." Harry trailed off

"Well, I want to be more" Niall blushed

I felt my heart beat faster

My palms got sweaty

"I wish that was me holding her to sleep, I wish it was me that she would have called first. I wish-"

"Niall, wishing won't fix everything. Sometimes you need to make your dream come true" Harry said

Niall nodded and took another bite of his cookie

"Maybe she feels the same way" Harry smirked

"Why would she? She's always loved other people. Better people"

"Niall, that's not true" I said walking into the kitchen

Niall's face turned tomato red

"How much did you hear?" Niall asked

"A lot" I giggled

"Sooo?" Harry blurted

"I like you a lot too" I smiled to Niall

"I'm leaving!" Harry shouted as he walked out of my house

Niall leaned down a tad and brushed his lip against mine. I felt sparks and tingled just from the light contact

He pulled back, making me want more, since all he gave me was a light brush of his lips

"What?" I moaned

"I want our first kiss to be somewhere special" He whispered

"My kitchen is pretty special" I joked

"If you want me, you have to wait" He smirked

"Fine" I groaned

"How about a date tomorrow?"

"Okay, where?"

"That's for me to know and you to find out" He winked
