Anna
I saw Julia standing in front of the entrance and she was actually scowling at me and I immediately looked behind me to see if something was wrong but I didn’t see anything. “Julia, what’s wrong?” I asked her as soon as I was in her earshot.
“When were you planning on telling me that your real name is Anna?” she sounded really angry and I couldn’t blame her because I had lied to her and I wasn’t proud of that at all.
“I have a reason for giving a false name but how do you know that my name isn’t Poppy?” I was a bit baffled about the fact that she knew I had been lying and it made me wonder if she wasn’t part of Bradley’s gang. Although if that was the case Harry would’ve known this and he would definitely have told me. “I spoke to that detective and he told me you were in big trouble.” I almost growled at this because I was getting sick of mr. Mackenzie.
“Did he now?” I know I sounded angry and for some reason I saw Julia take a step back and that shocked me a bit because I never thought I could scare someone with my expression. “He uhm did yes, he told me that I should stay away from you because it could get me killed if I didn’t. Is this true Anna?” she asked sounding scared and I really wanted to tell her that I wasn’t dangerous but sadly enough Detective Mackenzie was correct, I wasn’t the safest person to hang around with these days.
“He is probably right but I would never let you get hurt, you must believe me on this.” I pleaded, I know Harry had me followed and I looked around to see someone familiar and I was surprised when I saw Niall’s dyed hair. Never had I thought that Niall would be the one that would keep an eye on me but now I really did need his help after all. “NIALL!” I yelled which startled him and he looked sheepish when he walked towards us and to my surprise he wasn’t really looking at me but he was actually checking out Julia. “What’s up Anna?” he sounded bored and I couldn’t blame him for that because it must be boring to keep an eye on someone who doesn’t really need the protection to begin with.
“Julia this is Niall, he uhm well he watches over me and now he also watches over you and with his protection you don’t need to worry about your safety when you’re hanging out with me.” I looked at Niall who had turned his head to me when I promised Julia his protection. “Is that okay with you Niall?” I asked him and he nodded hesitantly before introducing himself to her and I saw the way she was looking at him and this really gave me some hope that Niall would find some happiness again.
“We have to go, see you in a few hours Niall.” I waved him off after dragging Julia with me.
“Damn girl, I didn’t know you knew such a handsome guy.” She was completely over her anger and that suited me just fine but I did had an unwelcome feeling. I actually felt a bit jealous about her interest for Niall, this surprised me and I realised that I had to let that go fast because I didn’t want to mess things up again.
“To be fair I know a lot of handsome guys but yeah Niall is probably the nicest out off them.” We walked to our music class and she was going on about how Niall looked and she was asking me thousand questions about him, which I tried to answer.
“So is there something between you guys?” she suddenly asked and that made my hart skip a beat for a split second and I decided to be honest with her, to prevent any fighting in the future because that was not something I needed right now. “We had something yes but that is over.” I shrugged but she wasn’t satisfied with this information.
“Okay so what happened?”
“We had sex together but it wasn’t right because I was still in love with another.” It sounded really bad when I said it like this but she only smiled gently at me. “That must’ve been hard for you.” I didn’t expect her sympathy at least not for me, I expected it to be for Niall because I did use him in the end, not intentional but nonetheless.
“It was more difficult for Niall than me and I still feel terrible about that but there is nothing I can do about it now but to hope he will find someone that he can be happy with.” I looked at her and she immediately blushed. We walked into Olly’s classroom and he was looking at us whilst talking on the phone and I heard him say that I was finally here and he promised he would keep an eye ion me as well.
“Is that Harry?” I asked him and he first looked surprised and he wanted to deny it but after seeing my expression he nodded. “I grabbed his phone and gave him a look, which made it clear that I was not messing around. “Harry I’m fine, stop worrying.” After that I hung up and gave Olly his phone back.
“I’m sorry Olly, I didn’t mean to be rude.” I said to him and he just gave me a small smile and gestured to the piano, which was mine in the class and everyone knew this.
“Good morning everyone, today we have the honour to hear miss Lewis play on the piano and if you feel like it, please join her” I heard some moans because they all thought I was going to play a classic song but that just proved they didn’t know me that well because I also liked to play top 40 music on the piano.
We played the entire hour and we actually had fun. I never laughed so much and even though this wasn’t really productive, this was really what I needed to feel like a normal person instead of being the co-head of a gang. In this classroom I didn’t have to think about ways to kill Bradley and his gang members, here I just needed to focus on my music and making friends. I know that Olly was observing my every move, so that he could bring a rapport to Harry, how I was doing in college, just so he knew that I was safe. Before I could walk out of the classroom Olly stopped me by putting his hand on my shoulder. Julia looked at me weird, as if she was trying to figure things out and that was not a good thing. “What Olly?” I asked him serious because there had to be something important if he singled me out like this.
“I just want to let you know, that I like this side of you, the carefree side.” I was stunned when he said that because that was the last thing I had expected from him and I couldn’t help but give him my most honest smile. “I love to be here and not think about you know.” I shrugged and walked out of the class. Julia was still waiting for me and as soon as she saw me, I saw the determined look on her face.
“Is he one of the guys you mentioned earlier?” she was way to nosy but I also didn’t want to scare her off, so again I went with the truth. “Yes he is, we’re friends.” I hooked my arm through hers as we made our way to creative writing.
“Where do you know each other from?” She asked again. I was getting tired of her questions. “I met him at my boyfriends.” I said nonchalant. We walked passed a few guys and they were hooting at us, Julia got bright red in the face but I didn’t really care. They stopped when Olly looked around the corner and that made me smile because I never had to worry about being harassed when I had my protection squad rooming the halls of this college.
“You know I’m thinking about signing up for yoga, what you think?” I asked her and that made her beam at me. “That would be awesome because I’m also in that class and it’s a bit boring but that’s because I really don’t know anyone.” I was happy that I had steered her away from the boy topic and the next hour she only talked about yoga and her paintings, which was fine by me.
I walked with her to yoga and immediately signed me up for classes. The teacher wanted me to start right away and lend me some clean clothes to wear. I was still protesting under my breath when I took place on one of the matts.
After class I was exhausted and my muscles ached like hell, the last time I felt like this was after my first boxing lesson. I walked with Julia towards the exit and Niall was standing there with no other than Harry, they were in a deep discussion and I felt the tension in my shoulders when I saw the expression on Harry’s face, it was like he was debating if he needed to beat the shit out of Niall or not.
Niall saw us coming and he immediately pointed at me, which made Harry turn around and I could see the relief on his face, as he made his way to me. “Anna, where were you?” he asked me, he didn’t even say hallo.
“Hello to you to and for your information I was just doing some yoga, with Julia here.” I pointed at her but she was looking at Harry as if he was dessert. I gave her a warning look and she backed of immediately “The boyfriend, I guess?” she asked quietly and I nodded, Harry was now standing in front of me but he was looking at Julia, who gulped because Harry wasn’t looking friendly. He reminded me off the Harry I had met in the beginning and I know how intrigued I was but also annoyed.
“You’re Julia?” he asked sounding everything except polite and I almost swatted his arm but I knew better. “I heard you have been asking a lot of question today?” he was now right in her face and I did want to protect her but it was not my place right now. “Yeah I did, there isn’t a law that forbids that.” She was being way too cocky and I could see Harry muscles shift, he was trying to not hit her I could tell and this was a good time to step in even though it meant he would be mad at me for undermining his authority. “Harry, she didn’t mean any harm.” I said under my breath but it didn’t make him back of.
“Stop asking so many question, it’s for your own good.” He threatened and this time Niall stepped in. He pulled Harry away from her and I was surprised when he didn’t hit Niall but then I saw Harry smile, which got me to think that is was a set up to see how she would react and then it hit me, they were thinking about getting her in the gang and I know who was going to be responsible for her. Niall was going for her, he really liked her and now that she had proven that she wouldn’t be messed with easily it was even better and there was nothing I could do to stop it.
I saw Julia standing in front of the entrance and she was actually scowling at me and I immediately looked behind me to see if something was wrong but I didn’t see anything. “Julia, what’s wrong?” I asked her as soon as I was in her earshot.

Notes
So I'm working on a short story, which has two chapters, maybe three and I'm using Niall as my male lead.“I liked the rudeness love.” He had placed both his hands on the wall, capturing me between his arms. I couldn’t go anywhere and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to. “Shouldn’t you be up there; in case you win an award?” I couldn’t stop looking at his mouth and he noticed this as he chuckled low. “We’re not nominated this year, so no.” he stepped even closer and if I moved just the tiniest bit forward we would be kissing. “there is just one thing I want to do right now.”
“Really?”
“Really, do you want to know what I want to do.” I should’ve said no but it was like my brain didn’t work anymore so I just nodded. “I want to fuck you until you scream my name.” I gasped at that but felt hot at the same time.
“Really?” I know I was red by now, never in a million year had I expected this, let alone meet the guy and now he was telling me he wanted to have sex with me, no correction, he wanted to fuck me, there was a difference. “Really, I want to peel this dress from your body inch by inch and then I want to kiss your body from top to toe. I want to touch your breasts and I want to bury myself inside of you, all night long.
I hope you enjoyed this little preview, let me know if you want to read more of this short story and I'm also open for short story requests, I will post these on Tumblr, so let me know with a lovely comment.
Also if you liked this chapter please let me know with another lovely comment.!!
