Chapter: Two

She was awakened by the sound of cluster behind the closed door of the bathroom. Eyelids still closed, but fully aware, listening to the sink go on and off, something being dropped and the quiet "fuck" being muttered every now and then.
Sensing her surroundings, she notices that she's not on the couch, but in her bed. Eyes still closed, she stretches, and rolls over on her side, now facing the side of the room with the bathroom on it, "It was just a dream?" She thought to herself, almost confused.
Pulling the blankets up to her shoulders, she sighs and slowly starts to open her eyes, blinking to focus them. She runs a hand through her hair and lays on her back, facing the ceiling. Studying the paint that was there and how nice it really looked, a light gray color, with a tint of blue- the color that Zayn picked out when she first decided to move into his house, leaving her old apartment behind. She decided that if she moved in, she'd want a bit of say in how the house looked. Serena wanted a pastel purple color, but Zayn was so persistent with his 'pleases' and his ear to ear grins whenever she would stop talking to choose which color she thought was better. Zayn's won. (only because she couldn't say no to him)
Serena took a deep breath and stayed quiet, listening to Zayn mumble inaudible words to himself. She smiled a bit, and then started to think about her dream. Even though what happened in her head was only, just in her head. She lives that. Zayn having his episodes, where he goes on rampages, hits her, abuses her physically and emotionally. But then there is also the sweet side of Zayn, the one that paints and draws with her, taking breaks from his schedule to take her out to lunch and listen to her talk about her day as he takes bites from his sandwich with a grin. He had two sides to him, and to her, good always out weighed the bad, and that's why she's still with him.
Serena has known Zayn since they were children, they met in 2nd grade, both Serena and Zayn were very shy, and even still are. Serena wanted to become friends with Zayn because she saw that he drew as well. One day the teacher partnered them up together and the rest was history. They've been as close as can be since then. When middle school came around, all the girls liked Zayn and would ask him to school dances and some to even be their boyfriend. Zayn would always decline and stick by Serena, asking her to the dances and being protective of her when guys started to take notice of her. She always loved having Zayn around, especially in high school when his facial hair started to settle in, girls were all over him, but for Serena, knowing that he was so loyal to her, made her somehow feel a little less insecure. Zayn was gorgeous, and everyone knew it.
When prom rolled around, Zayn set up a huge promposal in the middle of the hallway just to ask Serena, knowing she was gonna say yes even if he just casually asked her either way. People gathered around as Zayn started singing Let Me Love You, knowing that both him and Serena fancied that song. With a shy laugh and noticeably shy stance, she ran to him, hugged him and said yes a million times. People laughed and whistled, making Serena hide her face in Zayns shoulder. All the girls were so jealous, and some even started to hate Serena after noticing how close she was with Zayn. The night of prom came around and she was so excited, her midnight blue dress matched his tie. When it was time to nominate the prom queen and king, Zayn could tell she was very excited, her smile never fading, her eyes wide open as the guy at the microphone unfolded a piece of paper.
"The prom king is........ Zayn Malik!" He said.
Zayn stood from his seat beside her and walked to the front, smiling as they set the crown on his head, his eyes still on Serena.
"And the prom queen is...."
Serena's leg starts to jump, shes almost sure she's won, she was Zayns date, "why would anyone choose another girl to be the queen.. Knowing Zayn was gonna be the king?" She thought to herself, but quickly dismissed it. She stands up and fixes her dress, seeing Zayn smile at her.
"Melissa Smith!" Says the guy, already clapping loudly.
Serena stops in her tracks, looking around, feeling super embarrassed, knowing those around her saw her. She looked at Zayn to see his expression fade to a straight face, clear disappointment and sadness in his face, opposing to the prom queen who was smiling way too big, jumping up front and grabbing ahold of Zayns arm as she got the crown set on her head. Serena sat down and kept her head held low, knowing that Zayn was still looking at her. Feeling upset and embarrassed, Serena could feel the hot tears gathering in her eyes, she raised her hand to wipe them, got up.. And left.
Serena's knocked out of her daydream by the bathroom door opening, Zayn walking out with a t-shirt and sweatpants on, mist following his trail. His tattoos adorning his arms and hands. His hair damp from the shower, towel in his hand and his sweatpants low enough that you can see his boxers underneath.
"Just wakin' up?" Zayn says grinning, as he throws the towel on the floor.
"Hmm...Kind..of?" Serena says laughing, trying to suppress a yawn with her hand.
Zayn makes his way to the other side of the bed and sits on the edge, back facing her. He grabs his phone from the table on the side of his bed and starts to text.
Serena gets up and rests on the backboard, fixing her shirt that was risen up from sleeping and checks the time.
"It's almost 11 o'clock, you might want to get up and shower" Zayn says, twisting around to look her in the eyes while simultaneously pushing the hair out of his. He smiles weakly and rests his hand on her leg, shaking it a bit.
"Get up? Where am I.. Going? I didn't plan anything for today.." She says, voice slowly fading out as the sentence went along.
"Yeah... Well I did. So get ready" He says through light laughter. Putting his hands on his knees as he stands up. Walking to the other side of the bed where Serena was, he grabbed her arms and started to drag her slowly off the bed as she laughed and tried to pull away before she completely fell off.
"Zayn stop! I'm gonna fall" she says between laughs, trying to get away from his grip.
"Thats the point, don't ya think?" He says, letting go of her arms, letting her grip the sheets before she completely fell over.
"Asshole" She jokingly says as he winks at her and walks to the side table and grabs his phone,
"Be ready by 11:45, yeah?" He says as he leaves the room, grabbing his pack of cigarettes on his way out.
