Reason with Me

*Aurora's POV*

I huff loudly and throw myself on my bed. I stuff my face in a pillow and let out a loud scream. I grab the pillow and throw it across the room, trying to vent my anger. The tears erupt all over my face, leaving black mascara streaks down my cheeks. I groan loudly and throw a punch at the wall behind me. I shriek in pain and pull back as it slowly begins to swell. Well, that's just magnificent!

I look down at my black and blue knuckles once more. A sort of pleasure rushes through me. I turn back to the wall and hit it with my other fist. It swells also and begins to bruise. I throw more punches and a couple of kicks until my hands begin to bleed. The pain finally gets to me and I run into my bathroom and run cold water over it. I tie strips of fabric tightly on my hands. I walk back into my bedroom and collapse on my bed, staring at the white ceiling.

My door creaks open a crack and I jump up. I see Zayn at my door. I roll my eyes and lay back.

"Aurora?" He asks. He sees my bandaged hands and rushes to me. "Aurora! What happened?"

I roll my eyes.

"Nothing! I'm fine." I insist. He looks at me disbelievingly. His eyes flicker to the slightly damaged area on the wall. He raises an eyebrow and I groan. "Whatever!"

I flip over on my bed and stuff my face between my mattress and pillow. I hear Zayn sigh.

"Do you want to talk, love?" He asks caringly.

"No" I snap.

"Babe, you have to open up to somebody." He reasons.

"I did! I opened up to Eleanor. I opened up to Gavin. But, Louis tore them both away!" I bark.

Zayn sighs sadly. I feel the tears spring up in my eyes and slowly begin to drench the mattress. Zayn places his hand on my back in a comforting manner. I let the tears fall.

"Why don't you talk to me about it?" He asks. I sigh before sitting up.

"Well, I met Gavin at the beach with Harry. He was really nice and we switched numbers. When you went to record, I hung out with Gavin. It was so perfect. We talked the entire time and, when he dropped me off, he kissed me. We've texted back and forth ever since. He invited me to his party so I said I could go. I lied to dad-err, Louis- about going to Lottie's. He called his mum and set it up so I actually did go. Lottie and I snuck out to go to Gavin's party. I mingled a bit. Then I ran into Gavin and we danced and kissed. It was so romantic. I really really like him, Zayn. So Louis punished me for going to the party, which I expected, but why can't I talk to Gavin? What did he do? Why can't I have a friend?" I blubber.

"Babe, tell me what you think of Gavin."

"He's really nice and sweet, but he has this bad boy vibe. He smokes, but not all the time. He is really cute, but that's not why I like him. I have a massive crush on him and I think he likes me back. I think he was going to ask me out. Heck, I know it was going to happen! But how would it if I can't talk to him??" I continue.

"You want to know what I think, love?" He asks. I bite my lip but nod.

"I'd say apologize to Louis. He's just being a good parent. Tell him you're sorry and you love him. Then, invite him to meet Gavin. If Gavin is as good a guy as you claim, Louis will accept him. He won't be happy with it, mind you, but he will accept it. You use the excuse that Louis doesn't know him. Well, lets take that off the table." He reasons. I ponder for a moment before nodding.

"You're right. Thanks Zayn." I say, hugging him. He smiles and hugs me back.

"No problem sis." He replies. I stand up and offer one last smile before going to find dad
