I was unable to concentrate in class without Zayn's hand laced with mine. I had to find out about him. I decided to text him
M: Where are you? is everything thing alright?

Zayn's POV
I felt my phone vibrate.
J: Where are you? Is everything alright?

No. Nothing was okay. Apparently, Nick sent two of his men after Jess last night. They followed her and found out that she came to my apartment. Nick called me after she left and said if I told her anything, Jess and I will suffer for it. I hung up on him, not wanting to hear his voice any longer. No matter how brave I act, I will always have some fear of Nick. He has a lot of power and can destroy me in seconds if he wanted. I'm not one of those people who don't care about themselves or their life. I have a really good scholarship, amazing friends, and a real decent life. But I won't let Nick handle my life, even if I'm under his contract. It is best for Jess know this, but I won't text it to her, I will have to tell her in person.

M: I'm at my apartment, come here after your classes today; we have to discuss something

Jessica's POV:

I read Zayn's message over and over. What could be wrong? It was Monday. The night I met with Nick was Friday. I hadn't talked to Zayn much since then. It had to be that asshole Nick. I am glad Zayn's actually telling me what's going. See, the thing is, when guys try to act like people in books who don't tell each other what the heck is going on because they "love them", they are only harming themselves. If you tell someone what's going on, they will help you get out of it and you will have at least somewhat of a chance to be happy. I am so lucky to have Zayn.

"Let's order some Chinese for dinner"
Bryn says
"Okay, but I need to meet with Zayn first, I have to give him today's homework." the lie slid of my tongue really smoothly. I'm a good liar.
"Okay! I'll drop you of at Zayn's apartment then"

--
I knocked at his door. I don't ring bells. A few seconds later he opened his door. He was wearing black sweats with no shirt. God, he's so good looking.
"Hey love, come in" I walk in and sit on the floor, just like everyone else does when they come to Zayn's apartment.

"Okay, so I'm going to guess this had to do with Nick?" I said cocking an eyebrow.
"Yeah it did" he sighed " he followed you from the gym on Friday and found out that you came to my house. Now, he thinks I have told you everything, which I have, and demands for me to stop meeting you"
"I am obviously not going to listen to him, I never do. And I saw no reason to hide it from you. It is just going to cause more problems. I care about you too much to put you in trouble."

I smiled at him. My lips crashed into Zayn's kissing them hungrily. He kissed me back immediately and placed a hand on my waist and ran his other hand through my hair.

After a couple seconds we both pulled away to breathe.
"We need to continue working on the plan. I'll call the boys and Suha and Emma"

--
We were all sitting on the floor in Zayn's living room.
"Okay, so I've decided to use Jess and Emma as distraction. They are going to come in wearing sexy dresses showing off a little more than other girls to get Nick's attention. Girls, if he tries to get it on with you, don't worry, all of us will be right there" he says motioning to the boys. Emma and I nodded.
"You will have to take self defense classes before the party. Especially Em, they are going to try to kidnap you or some shit like that so you have to know how to fight if you have no weapons. Suha, you will also need to build some more muscle." Harry states.
