A/N: Hey guys! This is my first story on Wattpad so please go easy on me (but I love constructive criticism)! I hope to update this story about once a week, but I have a really busy schedule, so don't get mad if I don't! Also, I want as many people as possible to enjoy this story, so please comment what you want to happen, and who you want to get together and I will try my best to please as many of you as I can!
Rebecca's POV
"NO! No please don't! PLEASE! NO!" I screamed. I wasn't going to let him do that, not after what he did to me last year. "NO! Get off me you bastard!"
"Rebecca..." I heard another voice, whose was it? "Rebecca please, I'm not going to hurt you." I sat up. I was in my bedroom, but there was a stranger in my room. He must have seen my worried face because he explained further, "I'm your new neighbor, I heard the screaming and I wanted to see what was wrong."
"H-How did you get in?" I asked.
"Your old neighbor gave me a key. He told me to 'protect you'." I laughed at that. Mr. Cromwell always looked after me. He knew that my parents were over in America, so he took over as the father figure in my life. "I hope that it's okay that I came."
"No, I mean yes. Thank you for coming."
"Do you want to talk about it? I always find that helps me."
"That's okay, I'm fine now." I lied. Yeah I would like to tell him, but I'm not really one to tell my whole life's story to a stranger. "I know you know what my name is, but what's yours?"
"Zayn." Then it clicked. The accent. The name. It can't be him. I flicked on the light to see his face.
"Oh my gosh. Y-you're Zayn Malik!"
He chuckled, "Yep. How about we get to know each other a little better?" Then he looked around the room and laughed. "Though, by the looks of your room, I would say you already know who I am." He said referencing to the posters all around my room. I could feel the blood rushing to my cheeks showing a bright blush.
"20 questions?" I proposed.
"Sure! What's your full name?" He asked.
"Rebecca Lee Jones." I responded.
He kept firing questions until he asked the one that I was hoping he wouldn't ask. "Why is a 17 year old living alone?"
"My parents are in America. I ran away from them because I couldn't bear living with them anymore." All the feelings just came running back, I could tell that my eyes were filling with tears and I just let them come.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that. I think I just go now."
"No! Please don't go, you didn't know. Anyway, I haven't gotten a chance to ask you any questions." I joked. He smiled and agreed. We spent another hour hanging out together, cracking jokes, and finally decided to have a Disney movie marathon. I instantly felt close to Zayn. It was almost as if I had known him all my life. Half way through Up I fell asleep right where I belonged, on Zayn's lap.

I hit my alarm clock making it stop. I don't want to wake up, but I unfortunately have to get to school. Zayn is still sleeping on my bed. Gosh he looks so handsome.
I start getting ready for school when he wakes up. "Ugh what time is it?" He moans.
"6:30."
"At night?"
I laugh at his response, "No in the morning. I have school today."
"Oh. I guess I'll go now. See you later?"
"Yeah! See you later." He leaves my flat so that he can go to his, my guess is so that he can go back to sleep.

My school is just down the street so I start walking.
"Did you hear Zayn Malik moved? He's just down the street! Maybe we will get to see him!" I hear a bunch of girls gossiping by the lockers only making me roll my eyes. Just then I accidentally run into Bella, the stuck up popular girl.
"Sorry!" I quickly apologize to her.
"Gosh Rebecca, what the hell is your problem?" She shot back at me.
"It was an accident." I responded.
"Well don't do it again nerd." And with that she shoved me into the lockers giving this day a great start.

"Now the two types of energy we will be working with are called kinetic and potential energy." Mr. Gult explained. Even though physics is my favorite subject, I just wanted to get home and sleep. Thank god this is my last subject. "Rebecca?" Mr. Gult asked me.
"Yes sir?"
"I asked you to tell me the formula for work."
"Oh sorry sir, it's work equals force times distance."
"That's right Rebecca, please pay attention next time."
"Yes sir."
DING
"Alright class, no homework tonight, we will be doing a lab tomorrow so make sure you come prepared for that next class. Have a great afternoon." Mr. Gult said concluding our class and school day.
I gather all of my books that I will need for homework tonight and head outside to walk to the bus, when I see a familiar boy standing at the bottom of the steps.
"Zayn? What are you doing here?"
"I thought I would pick you up. Is that okay?"
"Yeah sure! Where's your car?"
"Right over here. Just warning you the other boys are in the car... so consider yourself warned."
"They're here? Now? But you haven't given me any time to prepare myself!" I say stress out. I planned exactly what I was going to wear and what I was going to say, and he just springs this up onto me? Not okay!
"Relax Rebecca, you look beautiful." He says nonchalantly. We walk over to a big black van. "Okay, here we go!"
"ZAYN! Why did you make us stop here? I am really hun-"
"Wait! He has someone with him! Ooh she's cute!"
"Shut up Harry, let her introduce herself!"
"Hi. My name is Rebecca. I'm a huge fan of yours."
"Glad to meet you Rebecca! Come on in, we were planning on having a movie night in Zayn's flat if you want to join us!" Liam welcomed.
"That sounds really fun, but unfortunately I have a bunch of homework to do tonight."
"Oh screw school! How many people get the opportunity to hang the famous ONE DIRECTION?" Louis said.
"Louis, you have to respect Rebecca's decision." Liam protested.
"NO JIMMY PROTESTED!" shouted Louis. Gosh these guys were entertaining!
"Maybe another night, how's Friday? Say around 6:00?"
"Okay!" We walked up to our floor in the building and we part ways at our doors.
"Bye Rebecca." Zayn said leaving me alone to wallow in my tears all by myself.
I hope you all liked it! Please vote and comment! <3
