"Niall, we aren't seriously still doing this, are we?" I asked Niall as he closed the door of our hotel room, the lawyer just having been here again. 

"Of course we are." Niall said, walking back into the room and smiling brightly at me as he grabbed a bottle of water from the mini fridge in the corner. "If he seriously thinks just because he stole that DVD from us that we aren't going to sue him, well he has another thing coming." Niall says sitting down on the edge of the bed. 

"But we won't win the case now, will we?" I ask Niall, taking  seat next to him and looking up into his blue eyes with my own green. He shrugged in response and looked down at me. 

"I don't know, we have witnesses." Niall pointed out.

"Have you spoken to management about this yet? I don't think they would appreciate you suing Michael." I said and Niall chuckled. 

"No, I don't think they would." He agreed. "Maybe we won't sue Michael, I mean, we could just go for a restraining order." Niall shrugged and looked at me for my verdict of that suggestion. 

"Niall, do we have to do this? I will probably be moving home soon anyways. Once I get a j-" I was cut off by Niall pressing his fingers to my lips and shaking his head at me. 

"Don't say that. It's never going to happen." He raised his eyebrows at me and removed his finger from my lips. "You can at least wait until I am done the tour and then you can move in with me." Niall smiled and wrapped his arms around my waist, swaying our bodies back and forth. I rolled my eyes at him. 

"Move in with you?" I cocked an eyebrow. "Who said I would or was moving in with you?" I ask. 

"It gets rather lonely in that big house on my own." Niall pressed his lips behind my ear. 

"Buy a dog." I elbowed him and he pouted, tightening his grip on me. 

"Don't be mean." He said, right next to my ear sending shivers down my spine. "Wouldn't you wanna live with me?" He questioned, sticking out his bottom lip. 

"Niall, of course I would want to live with you but don't you think it's a bit soon?" I asked, climbing on his lap and facing him. 

"No." He kissed my cheek quickly and smiled at me. I rolled my eyes at him again and chuckled, playing with the hair on the nape of his neck. 

"How about we get Michael sorted first and then we can discuss this?" I asked him and he sighed but nodded and kissed me briefly. 

"If you go back to London, I'm going with you." Niall firmly said. "Because you're not leaving me again, you little fucker." He kissed me again. 

"Feeling the love, with the pet name." I sarcastically said and he rolled his eyes. 

"Sorry darling." He smiled and played with a strand of my hair. 

"You saved it with that pet name." I smile at him and he chucked. He looked up at me and watched me carefully as I put my finger in my mouth and started to nibble on my nail. 

"Don't." He whispered, gently extracting my finger from my mouth and kissing the corner of my mouth. "Don't nibble your nails love." He chuckled. 

"I always do, that's why I have no nails." I said, showing him my nails, well, what I had left of my nails. 

"Same." He chuckled, showing me his nails too. "I do it when I'm nervous or bored." He said. 

"So do I." I agreed. I always tried to stop biting my nails but I never quite could. "I love you, Niall." I whispered and kissed him. 

"I love you too." He smiled and and kissed my forehead.

...

"You're still going through with this?" Michael yelled, barging into our hotel room, absolutely fuming. Niall glared at him from where we were watching the telly. Today the boys had no concert and Niall was just off the phone from Sam back in London. To say the least: Sam was no impressed. He does not want this case to go forward. 

"Of course we are." Niall said, turning his attention back to the telly, Sam had obviously just been on the phone to Michael as well. 

"You're not going to win you know." Michael said and Niall rolled his eyes, flicking through the channels on the television. 

"Of course we are." Niall repeated. "Was Sam on the phone to you?" Niall questioned. 

"Yes and he said he wasn't going to let the case go forward." Michael stated. 

"We are going through with it whether you or Sam like it or not." Niall said, throwing the remote on the sofa once he found something he wanted to watch. "I'm going to protect Jenny. Jenny doesn't want you here and neither do I, so we are getting rid of you." Niall smiled innocently and then put his eyes back on the telly. 

"Management won't let you." Michael said but Niall totally ignored him and kept watching the telly. Michael walked over and picked up the remote Niall had thrown and turned off the telly in one swift motion, standing in front of it and folding his arms. "I'm not going to let you." He crossed his arms but Niall didn't seem too unnerved where as I stayed where I was quietly, not wanting to say anything in case I said the wrong thing. 

"You just try stop me." Niall said, looking Michael straight in the eye, not bothered by him whatsoever. 

"I might not be able to stop you but guess what? We are going to London for a meeting so pack your shit and get ready." Michael snapped and Niall rolled his eyes.

"I am not going to London with you." Niall said. 

"Either you come with me or management comes for you, what would you rather?" Michael asked and Niall sighed and rubbed his forehead. 

'What time do we leave?" Niall asked but refused to make eye contact. 

"Half an hour." Michael smiled and left the room, Niall groaning once he did.

"I fucking hate him and I fucking hate management." Niall rubbed the back of his neck. 

"Why? What would management do?" I asked him, furrowing my eyebrows and reaching for his hand to give a squeeze. 

"You don't want to know and neither do I." Niall sighed and stood up. "Right, get packing for us." He said. 

"Us?" I questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"I'm crap at packing, pack for me too please." He said and walked to the bathroom. "I'll be back in like ten minutes." He called and closed the bathroom door behind him. I done as Niall said and began packing a bag for us, just using one as we didn't really need much anyways. 

I packed out things and Niall emerged from the bathroom just as I was zipping the bag.

"I hate Michael so much." Niall sighed and sat down on the bed. "I can't wait until we get rid of him."

"Me neither." I agreed. 

... 

"So what's going on here?" Sam asked, tapping a pen against his desk, peering at Michael, Niall and I and this time all three of us were sitting on the sofa. That's a change. All three of us getting in trouble. This couch is basically the naughty seat, except for Niall, Michael and I. 

"They're suing me, aren't they?" Michael raised an eyebrow at the two of us. I bowed my head immediately but Niall glared right back. He is ruthless.

"We are getting a restraining order." Niall implied. "Jenny is not comfortable around him." 

"Then Jenny can go home." Michael glared at Niall. 

"Jenny is staying with me, nobody wants you around here." Niall folded his arms and glowered at Michael who rolled his eyes at this comment. 

"It's my job and if you think getting a restraining order from me means I will lose it then." He looked over at Sam. "Could I lose my job?" Michael scoffed, feeling quite superior obviously. 

"Hmm, well, uhm.. this is a very difficult and complicated case, so I am not sure yet what would happen." Sam informed, coughing afterwards and adjusting his glasses on his nose. 

"I can't lose my job" Michael rolled his eyes. "If they get a restraining order Jenny will have to leave and I won't lose my job." Michael stated as though he was so sure of himself. Sam shrugged. I guess he's not really into law, neither am I. I don't even know what we're doing, I'm just listening to Niall. 

"Actually, no." Niall turned to Michael, greeting him with a smirk. "Jenny won't have to go anywhere. It will either state in the agreement that you stay but aren't allowed to make any contact with Jenny whatsoever or you'll have to leave." NIall smiled. 

"Yes, but we won't be letting it get to the courts, will we?" Sam asked with a raised eyebrow. 

"Of course we will, I want to take this bastard down." Niall stated and Sam sighed.

"Niall, do you seriously think we will allow you to do this. It will get out to the public somehow and ruin your image." Sam sighed, leaning back in his chair and twirling a pen around in his fingers. 

"Sam, I coudn't give a shit about my image if it means Jenny is happy." Niall said, making my heart feel warm. "The fans will admire me for standing up for my girlfriend anyways so I don't care what you guys threaten to do to me I am going through with this no matter what and you can't stop me." 

"Niall." Sam rubbed his temples, sitting up and leaning his elbows against the table. "Can we not sort this out here?" He questioned, looking between all three of us. 

"Can you fire Michael here?" Niall raised an eyebrow and Sam shook his head in dismissal. "Then, no." Niall said and Sam groaned while Michael sat appearing quite impassive, not seeming to be taking any interest in what was going on. 

'I'm not getting fired at all." Michael finally came back to reality and spoke. 

"Yes you are." Niall implied and Michael rolled his eyes. 

"Could you two leave for a few minutes until I speak to Michael?" Sam asked us. Niall nodded and took my hand leading me out the glass doors to the hallway. He smiled and hugged me. 

"Michael is going down." He whispered in my ear during the hug. I sighed still feeling exceptionally bad for doing this but at the same time I did want Michael to leave. I didn't want to be living in fear like I did when I was a vulnerable child. 

"What if we do get the restraining order but he still gets to stay?" I questioned and Niall shrugged and sighed. 

"We'll cross that barrier when we come to it." He responded. I looked through the glass at the two in the office wondering what was being said. "I wonder what they're talking about." Niall chuckled and kissed the top of my head gently. 

"Shush." I press my finger to his lips and take a few steps forward until I was at the door. I looked in and saw the two bickering back and forth. I pushed the door open just about half an inch so I could hear what was being said. Niall was watching me with amusement. 

"Michael." Sam sternly said. "How many times do I have to say this?!" He exclaimed. "Either you leave now because if you lose the case I am firing you!" Sam yelled and my eyes widened at what he said and a smile surfaced on my lips. "You know fine well you will lose, I would leave now because either way, you're losing your job." Sam firmly said as I turned to Niall and smiled at him at the same time I heard Michael gulp. 

I slowly let the door go and closed it fully again, running back to Niall with the exhilarating news I just heard. "Niall." I excitedly ran to him and hugged him. 

"What? Is Michael fired?" Niall questioned. 

"No, but he might as well be because he doesn't stand a chance now." I giggle and squeeze him tightly. 

"Why? What did Sam say?" Niall asked, looking down at me. 

"Either you leave now because if you lose the case I am firing you." I repeated what Sam said to Niall and he smiled. 

"We've got this then." Niall smiled ad picked me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist and kissed him, holding his cheeks as I did. We were interrupted by someone clearing their throat and I craned my neck to see Sam standing next to a very deflated looking Michael. 

I wonder what he's going to do?
