"I'm falling in love with you, Adriana. I know this sounds crazy but, every time I see you, I fall more and more in love." Zayn said nervously.

"I thought we were just really good friends." I said totally shocked by what Zayn just said. I took a deep breath.

"I wanna be more than friends." Zayn said in a smooth, relaxed voice.

"You don't know me!" I yelled. "You are kissing and falling for the wrong person!" I storm into the bathroom, slam the door, then lock it.

Zayn's P.O.V.

Adriana locked herself in the bathroom because of what I said about wanting to be more than friends.

I understand she's not ready because of what she's going through and I probably shouldn't have said it to her but, I had to get my feelings out and into her head. Maybe she feels the same way.

I walk up to the bathroom door and knock.

"Adrienne, I'm sorry." I heard a few sniffs then the door cracked open a little bit. I walked in and I see her sitting on the floor letting tears slide down her cheeks. I sit down in front of her.

Adriana's P.O.V.

"I like you too Zayn it's just, the things you do and the way you touch me remind me too much of when I get hurt." Zayn nodded.

"That's understandable." I shake my head.

"No, no it's not!" I yell.

"Then help me understand." Zayn said calm and slowly. 

I take a deep breath again. Then tell him.

"My dad is the one who abuses me and rapes me. Ever since I was a little girl, every morning I would wake up to him in my room, watching me sleep. I would open my eyes and he would start taking my clothes off of me. I would scream and kick but, he wouldn't stop." More tears fall down my cheeks.

"What does your mom do?" Zayn asked in a saddened voice.

"Nothing. She-she's not fully there." Zayn swallowed then spoke.

"Can we go see her?" I shake my head.

"I want to but my dad is there."

"I'll protect you." Zayn said in a voice that soothed my butterflies in my stomach.

"Okay." Zayn stands up then puts his right hand down to help me get up. I grab his hand and he pulls me up. We go in the room and I grab my phone. Zayn sits on the bed and waits for me. He stands up and we walk out to his Mercedes-Benz. We get in and I tell him where my house is. Ten minutes later, we are pulling in my driveway.

"Act cool." I told Zayn nervously.

"Take your own advice!" He laughed.

We get out of the car, Zayn walks over to me and puts his arm around my waist. I open the front door and see my mom sitting at the table again. I couldn't see my dad so I sat down.

"Hi Momma." My mom looked at me.

"Adriana." Mom smiled. Zayn sat down next to me and she looked at him, still smiling.

"Momma, this is Zayn." She touched his face with the back of her hand.

"Adriana, are you and Zayn dating?" I shook my head.

"No Momma." She turns and stares out the window again, she had a blank stare. I started to cry. She turned around and looked at me then Zayn.

"Oh hey Adriana, when did you get here?" I cry harder. Zayn grabbed me and held me against his chest. "Is this your boyfriend?" She asked looking at Zayn holding me.

My dad walked in the front door and stopped in his tracks when he saw me and Zayn. I hold my breath.

"Adriana." He said in a no intonation voice.

"Hi." I say very scared.

"Is this your boyfriend?" He asked. I shook my head. He came up to me, picked me up and threw me on the table. He pulled a knife out of his pocket and cut my shirt down the middle. He started kissing my neck.

Zayn punched my dad in the face and he fell to the floor. Zayn went on the floor and punched him a couple of more times until he was unconscious. Zayn walked over to me with a sweaty forehead and shaky hands. He helped me sit up then, he took his shirt off and handed it to me. I took my now ripped shirt off and put on Zayn's shirt. He hugged my body close to his, burying his face in my neck.

"I'm sorry Adrienne." I put my hand on the back of his head and the other one around his neck.

"Shhhh, it's okay Zayn. I'm fine." I said trying to comfort him. My mom looked at us in confusion.

"Momma, this is Zayn, my best friend." I know I already told her but she forgot when she was staring out the window again. She smiled at him.

"Hello Zayn. Do you like my daughter?" She asked happily.

He nodded and smiled.

"Yes, I do. A lot." He said and looked back at me. He leaned in and kissed me. I kissed him back. Actually feeling something. Something more than pain. Something deeper than friends. I kissed him back and loved every minute of it. He pulled away and looked into my eyes. I smiled and so did he.

"I am ready." I said happily. "I'm ready." He smiled wider and giggled. He kissed me again.

"Does this mean you are mine?" I nod.

"Yes!" He picks me up and spins me around.
