I Won't Tell -Zayn Malik Au-

Chapter Twenty Seven

~ Angie Pov ~

"Gabby," I called out, quietly knocking on Gabriel's bedroom door not sure if she's sleeping or not. I didn't hear any sound so i knocked again. "Gabby."

I sighed to myself, turning the knob to her bedroom door. "Gabriel, are you going to get out of bed today? You have school." I asked standing in the doorway, my hand placed against the frame - my index finger tapping while the other on my hip.

She didn't move under the multiple sheets she was engulfed in. She just laid there on her side watching me, looking nothing more than helpless. Half of her face was buried in the pillow while the other is visible showing her tear stained cheek. I could tell she was probably crying. It breaks my heart to see my cousin like this especially what she's going through.

I began making my way towards my cousin. collapsing onto the mattress. I placed a tender and comforting hands on her back rubbing it soothingly. She groaned, thats when i saw more tears spilling from her eyes and onto the pillow. She roughly wiped them away, closing her eyes tightly her lower lip trembling.

"I feel so stupid, Angie." She said, her voice so quiet.

I gave a sympathetic smile as i watched my distraught cousin practically destroying herself, i wish there's something i could do to help her but i felt impotent.

"Sweetie, its only been two days."

She sniffled. "Whats your point?"

I rolled my eyes. "My point is .. you should call him."

"He wouldn't want to talk to me. He probably hates me." She say, wiping away tears.

"Thats nonsense. You're his best friend, Gabby."

"I'm not sure about that anymore." She replied, opening her eyes and wiping her nose with the back of her hand.  I reached to her bedside table for a box tissue handing her a sheet.

She sighed sitting up taking the soft fabric from me. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." I kissed her head before i got up. "Don't worry, baby. Things will get better for you and Luke. He doesn't hate you, he loves you."

She nodded slowly looking down at her lap fumbling with the tissue in her hands. "I'll get breakfast going, while you get ready for school." I say going to the door getting ready to leave. Before i could turn back to look at her she was already in the bathroom washing up, getting ready for school.

Angie pulled up in front of my school putting the car in park, before turning to me. "Okay, i'll see you after school?"

I nodded, giving a small smile. "Alright. Thanks for the ride." I say opening the car door getting out, shutting the door behind me.

"See you later." Angie called before she drove off.

I looked around to see if i could spot Luke anywhere but i couldn't find him anywhere. I sighed to myself walking inside the school.

I grabbed everything i needed for first period before i shut my locker i looked around for what seemed like the fifth time for Luke but couldn't find him. Thats when my eyes landed on Zayn and Perrie standing at her locker. They were laughing together which made me really sick. Or is it the pregnancy sickness talking? Thats when i find myself focused on Zayn i couldn't help but feel complete sadness. He still doesn't know he took away my innocence, and that he's the father of the child i'm carrying inside me.

I placed a gentle hand on my stomach as my eyes were still on Zayn. If only he knows he's going to be a father.

While i stood there, thats when Perrie caught my gaze. I dropped my hand from my stomach, tightly gripping my books against my chest, shutting my locker not daring to look back and  scurried off to class.

Its the last hour of the day and i have gym. As usual everyone had to change into their gym attire or look forward to a failing grade. I'm in no mood to do any activity planned, i was hoping to come up with some kind of excuse but i don't want to mention that i'm pregnant then it would really cause attention. 

There were laughter coming from the other side of the locker room, i looked over to see Perrie and her friends giggling to whatever in their conversation. I don't get what Zayn even see in her maybe its because she looks perfect in his eyes. To her perfect smile, her blonde hair, gorgeous eyes, all of the above. All the guys find her mesmerizing and Zayn wouldn't want them anywhere near her. 

I put my hair in a messy bun, then shut my gym locker.

"Quiet Girl." It was Perrie. I could hear snickers among the other girls in the locker room. I didn't dare turn around and face Perrie, so i decide to just ignore her hoping she would back off.

"Hey, i'm talking to you." Perrie again, trying to get my attention. Thats when i felt a hand roughly grabbed my shoulder turning me around so i was locking eyes with her blue orbs. She was in only a sports bra and gym shorts. I broke eye contact hoping she'd change her mind and leave me alone. The locker room all of a sudden was dead silent.

"What do you even think you're doing in here? No one wants to see your pathetic face." Her words stung like needles but i held myself together, not letting her think her words are gotten the best of me. I was definitely not in the mood for her bullshit today.  "Are you deaf? Do you have nothing to say to me?" She asked her words sharp. 

"Perrie, back off." I looked over Perrie's shoulder to see Danielle walking into the locker room already dressed in her gym attire looking between Perrie and I. 

"Perrie, not today." Was all i could say. The next thing i know i was pushed hard against the locker by my shoulders. 

"Shove her harder." I hear from a nearby onlooker. "Yeah, kick her ass!" I hear come from another girl.

"What the fuck is your problem?!" i hear Danielle yelled, trying to pull Perrie back but she shrugged her off.

Never in my life had i been a fighter. It had never crossed my mind but i've taken so much and i just couldn't take it anymore.I took all my willpower, adrenaline washing over my body as i shoved her back harder making her stumble backwards almost trip. She was surprised at what just happened, then she came up shoved me against the locker and I've gotten a blow to the face, making me fall to the ground.

"Perrie what the hell?!" Danielle yelled, while all the other girls in the locker room cheer shouting mean things at me.

I wrapped my arm protectively over my stomach hoping she wouldn't kick me there, harming my child. But from the corner of my eye i could see Perrie knelt down to my level until i felt her hot breath on the side of my face. "If i ever ..catch you eye at my boyfriend.. ever.." She raised her hand up pushing a strand of hair  from my face causing me to flinch at her touch. "you're dead, bitch-"

While all the other girls cheering and shouting at the poor girl who's kneeling helpless on the ground, I watched as Perrie knelt down before her mumbling whatever to  her. I stormed over and grabbed Perrie by the arm pulling her up and away from Gabriel. "What the fuck is your problem?" I shouted at her. "What does she ever done to you?"

"She's a bitch. No one wants her here." She screamed back at me before glaring back at Gabriel who's still on the ground.

The locker room got quiet watching as Perrie and i argue. "She deserves to be here like anyone else. And you treating her like like shit, how fucking could you? All of you."

"Are you defending her?" Perrie asked. "This bitch could stand up for herself if she wants, but she's a fucking loser-"

"No,Perrie as far as i can see, you're a bitch and a loser."

Perrie was shocked at my words. "I'm sure everyone here knows it but just don't have the guts to say it. Well, you heard it from me."

After a long stare down, Perrie was about to open her mouth and say something yet ignorant but i beat her to it. "Just go. All of you." I turned to everyone else who's standing around talking amongst themselves.

Perrie turned on her heel walking straight out the locker room while everyone else following close behind. I turned to Gabriel who's sitting down with her back against the lockers, hugging her knees to her chest staring in place. I could see she have a bloody nose but its like she didn't even noticed.

I went to grab a paper towel then knelt before her cleaning her up a bit. "I'm so sorry, Gabriel. I didn't expect her to turn out that way."

Gabriel continued to stare in place while i dabbed at her bloody nose. "You didn't deserve any of this."

She finally met my gaze, i could see tears welling up in her eyes. "W-why are you being nice to me?"

Its heartbreaking to see her this way. This girl must be going through a lot of pain i could see it in her eyes. I placed a comfort hand on her knee. "You seem like a very good person. If anything Perrie's deserves to be treated like crap, not you."

I gave her a small smile and continued to dab at her nose, blood nearly soaking the entire towel. "I think we have to ask Mrs. Allie to excuse us so we take a trip to the school nurse and have your nose checked out."

I discarded the bloody towel and helped Gabriel to her feet. "Danielle?"

"Yeah?"

"Thank y-you."

I gave her a warm smile. "No problem. Come on, lets go." We left the locker room, excusing ourselves and made a trip to the school nurse.

[School's Out]

It has been two days ever since the last time Luke talked to Gabriel and he felt like shit. He wanted to talk to her but he don't know if she wants to talk to him nor see him again. He misses her.

He was standing at his locker with his phone in his hands debating whether he should send the text to her or not. "Ugh, come on Luke, what are you going to do?" He mentally groan to himself.

"Whats up, mate?"

Luke looked up to see Michael walking up to him. "Sup,"  Was all he said, still eyeing at the text he was going to send.

"Okaay, something's up. Mind if i ask whats wrong?"

"I haven't talked to Gabriel ever since, you know, the last time we spoke. And i feel like a complete idiot for coming onto her like i did. And i miss her. Its been two days."

"Well, talk to her. I'm sure she knows you didn't mean it." Michael say with a little shrug.

Luke sighed. "Thats what i'm trying to do. I just wrote a text and i don't know if should send it or not-"

"Send it."

"But what if she doesn't want to talk to me anymore?"

Michael rolled his eyes. "Don't say that, you're her best friend since, what, .. fourth grade."

"Yeah," Luke say, then furrowed his eyebrows. "Wait, how do you know that?"

"You told me and the guys that like a hundred times."

"Ohh," Luke's mouth formed an small 'o'

"Yeah," Michael chuckled. "Luke you're all what Gabriel needs right now, especially after what, you know. She needs her best friend."

Luke emitted a huge sigh. "You know, i'm still gonna find out who the lunatic that raped her. He even got her pregnant for fuck sakes."

"Did she make a decision yet?"

Luke shook his head, shutting his locker. "No, i don't think so. But i hope she makes the right decision. But like i said, i'm not giving up until i find out who hurt my best friend."

Michael could see Luke is clearly serious and so he nodded in agreement. Luke finally made up his mind and sent the text, feeling weight being lift off his shoulders as he exhaled.

"Sent it, finally." Michael said.

"Yeah. I'm bout to head over to the cafe. Wanna come?"

"Yeah, sure." Both boys walked out the school together to Luke's car, never noticing someone close by listened on their private conversation.

After puking up the lunch i ate, i stood up from the toilet with my hand on the handle flushing the contents in the bowl. I exit the stall, going over to one of the sinks to wash my hands and rinsing my mouth out. 

Thats when i heard the door to the bathroom open and closed. I turned to see a flabbergasted Danielle standing there. I was growing rather confused. "Um, are you alright?" I asked.

She didn't say anything, next thing that caught me by surprise she came up and hugged me. I tensed a bit not sure if should return the gesture, but i was getting rather confused. What is this? I thought.

Thats when i heard her quietly whispered. "I'm so sorry."
