In Camilo's Room.

"Okay so what are we gonna do?" Mateo asked rubbing the back of his neck. "Actually, I need to tell you guys something." Catalina started. The 3 boys stared at her in confusion Mateo tilted his head like he always does when hes curious or confused. "Mateo, Lance? You know how Zayn was late to class today and was acting weird?" Catalina asked. "Yeah, he was, Mirabel told us he was with Aaron before class started. We were gonna ask him tonight, but we got distracted." Lance spoke up concerned about his friend and what Catalina knows. 

"He was acting weird?" Clueless Camilo asked. "Yeah, he came to class 30 minutes late and was stuttering when we asked him questions about Aaron. He looked so.....scared for some reason." Mateo put his hand on Camilo's shoulder as he faced him. "Well I know exactly what happened." Catalina stated. The boys stared at her longing for an answer. "Yeah, he was with Aaron and Aaron did something terrible, unforgivable to the poor traumatized Zayn..." Catalina bowed her head as she acted out her fake sympathy. The boys eyes were wide waiting for her answer. 

"Ill tell Lance first." Catalina said and moved over to him and got on her tip toes to whisper in his ear. Lance's eyes widened as his face held dubious emotions. Mateo and Camilo were worried sick. Catalina went to Mateo next. Mateo clasped his hand over his mouth as his eyes filled with horror like he saw a ghost. She went to Camilo next.

In Carlos' room Zayn's POV

  "Talk about what?" I asked confused. "You and Aaron. What happened?" Carlos asked. I stared at him remembering the traumatizing stuff that happened earlier. My hands felt clammy. I felt my breath quicken. "I-i uhm dont know what youre talking about." I gripped the bedsheets. "I saw you walking away with him. He took you to the abandoned janitors closet, im not stupid." Carlos stared at me with his focused eyes looking for any sign of panic, I was obviosly panicing. I saw him staring at my neck for some reason. 

"Did...did he do anything to you?" Carlos asked still staring at my neck. I completly forgot about the hickey Aaron had gave me. I quickley covered my neck with my trembling hands. "W-what? No, why would he do...those foul things to me..." I answered without thinking. 'Shit I gave it away.' I thought as I opened my mouth to say something but he interuppted me. "What did he do to you Zayn? Answer me!" 

Carlos grabbed my wrist as I flinched a little too hard. He stared at me in disbelief. "Im beating his ass." Carlos hopped out of his bed and headed to his door. "CARLOS WAIT!" I scrambled out of the bed with my trembling body. This was all too much for me. Before Carlos could touch the door it slammed open. "What are you idiots doing here?! GET OUT THE WAY." Carlos glared at the boys standing at the door. I looked at Mateo, Camilo and Lance standing at the door. They looked so in distress?

Third POV

"WHERES. ZAYN." Camilo exclaimed. "I SAID GET OUT MY WAY HES BUSY RIGHT NOW." Carlos stared daggers into Camilo's eyes. "Guys can you keep it down? Youre gonna wake everyone up." Zayn shrunk into his shoulders trembling as he stared at his feet. The boys heard Zayn's voice and oh how guilty they felt for not being there for him. Camilo, Mateo and Lance pushed Carlos out the way and raced towards their bestfriend. No words can describe how horrible they felt as they hugged the small boy. "Im so so so sorry Zayn...." Camilo choked out as he was rapidly hiccuping. Zayn was confused and so was Carlos. "Whats going on?" Zayn asked horrified of the worst conclusion ever, them finding out. 

"We heard about what Aaron did to you.." Those words were enough to make Zayn sick to his stomach. He felt so out of it at the moment. Zayn was too horrified to speak. If he tried it'll come all out as a ramble and he didnt want to expose himself anymore. He didnt want to know the horrible consequenses he'll have to face, this was his breaking point. So he just broke down. 

He slid to the floor arms wrapped around his legs and cried. He wanted to dissapear, he didnt want to explain. But he had too. "I-I tried to push him away! It was no use, h-he-" Zayn was rapidly shaking like a cold lost puppy. He choked on his sobs as he stared at the door where Carlos was slowly walking towards them. "I-I couldnt move..it was like I was frozen in place when he started to do those foul things to me. I couldnt push him away...." Zayn's lip trembled as he spoke still staring at the door. "Its not fair! Why me why me!" Zayn was rocking back and forth trying to calm himself but nothing worked. He felt so desperate for heal he wanted all the pain to go away. What did he do to deserve this?

Camilo bent down and grabbed his chin forcing him to look up at him with sorrow and fear in his traumitized eyes that oh how he wished could be cleaned. "Hey, hey listen to me. Its not your fault its all his alright? It'll all get better I promise i'll protect you with my life, okay? Please dont cry, ill help you, it'll all get better I promise." Camilo gently wrapped his arms around Zayn's small trembling body. This made Zayn sob louder in his shoulder while Camilo let out occasional sniffs as he rested his chin on Zayn's wavy fluffy hair, "I know, I know, it'll be alright." Camilo would whisper assuring words.

Soon after Mateo joined the hug, then Lance, then Carlos. "We're so sorry for not being there for you Zayn. Just know that its not your fault and we care about you, okay? Its alright to let emotions out when you need to. If you want anyone to talk to we're always here if you need us, and always will be." Mateo softly assured. 

Zayn didnt think it'll be okay at all. He still felt so dirty and the nerve to scrub himself raw was eating him away.
