The Scandal (Zayn fanfic)

Chapter 11

It was the same guy that Zayn saw at chipotle and made me and him leave. I don't know who he is, but I immediately know there is something wrong with him. And judging by the way he looks at me, he recognizes me. I need to act strong, I need to act strong, I need to act strong. I use my brain and think of what Zayn would want me to do in this situation, he would want me to walk away and pretend nothing ever happened. So that's exactly what I do. I started walking towards the locker room when I feel someone's hand placed on my shoulder. It was a cold, unpleasant touch. It was that man. I turned around, me jaw clenched and my fists clenched.
"What do you want?" I said through my teeth
"Oh, nice to meet you too" he smirked
"Get the hell away from me"
"I wish I could, but I won't. I have some information to get out of you."
My fists were clenched so hard, my knuckles were white. It was taking every nerve of self control in my body to not knock his teeth out of mouth.
"you're not getting any information out of me, and if you really thought you were, you are just as dumb as I thought you were" I spat, venom clear in my words.
"I thought we could do this the easy way, I guess not." right after he says that two men come out of nowhere. What the hell? This was a freaking gym they couldn't get away with kidnapping me. I was going to scream and shout so that the gym security does something to them, but I realized what if Zayn works for him? I don't want to get him in trouble. Before I knew it my fist met with the mans nose and I ran for it. I used to run track and it was definitely coming in handy now. The only thing I felt was adrenaline. Pure adrenaline. I ran until I got to my car and drove of to Zayn's apartment. I needed information and I needed it now. Thankfully I didn't see any cops after me.

I finally reached Zayn's apartment and knocked on the door. He opened immediately and gave me a concerned look. I was probably extremely pale from what just happened.
"Hey Jess, is everything okay?"
"No, remember that man we saw at chipotle?" I said. His features tensed.
"What about him?"
"I was at the gym and I saw him there. He started questioning me and I punched his jaw and ran for it when his men came out"
"That fucking bastard! I told him to stay away from you! I will fucking destroy him!" Zayn said running his hands through his hair. I saw Niall get up from the couch, he was watching soccer or football as they call it and eating pizza.
"Zayn you need to calm down, we will destroy him once we go through with our plan" he says in attempt to soothe Zayn. I tried to help Niall too.
"Zayn I don't know what's going on, but you need to tell me. I know that he was also a reason our date was canceled today."
"He was" He sighed. "Sit down. We're going to be here a while."
"It started last year. I had just moved to America from England. I was a young lad, I had good grades, and that's how I got my scholarship for NYU. I didn't have a job or any way for making money. I met Harry at a bakery, he worked at a bakery and he introduced me to the rest of the boys. We were best mates" he smiled at the memory.
"Anyway, Nick saw us constantly hanging out at the bakery with each other. So one da-"
"Wait who's Nick?" I ask
"Oh he's the guy that questioned you today"
"Oh ok, keep going"
"So one day, he offered us a deal. If we help him with hacking into different banks and robbing the money, he would give us whatever we want. Louis and me immediately agreed since all the blame for illegal work would be on Nick. Liam, Harry, and Niall hesitated. But we told them ins only for six months and we can easily get out of it"
"We were wrong. As soon as we signed Nicks contract, we had kind of agreed to be his slaves. He said he could make us do whatever we wanted. And he did. So now, we are planning to rebel against him, using a scandal."

My head was spinning. I was still trying to process everything. The bakery, the robberies, and the scandal. What could that be about?
