Different worlds *Ziam* (boyxboy)

part 19 Niall knows..

Chris was sitting in her room, hugging her legs and crying into her knees. Why? Why the whole crap? She couldn't tell anyone, that's the worst part. She wanted to tell one person everything, just let it go. But there was nobody. Liam? He would break up with Zayn. Zayn? Hell, no. Niall? Niall was this kind of friend who can laugh with you and let you forget about all your problems, but not to tell him your problems. Dan? She didn't know him that good.

So, there was noone. She was alone with her fears and worries. She sobbed loudly into her knees. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. She quickly rubbed the tears away and tried to look... well, kinda not like she just cried a river. "Chris? Are you okay?" The door opened and Liam came in. He sat down next to her. "What's up?" He asked. "No-Nothing." She cracked up at the 'thing'. She couldn't hold it back anymore and just started crying into his chest, holding his shirt with balled fists. He wrapped his arms around her and stroked her hair. "Shh.. It's okay.." He whispered and let her cry into his chest. He stroked her back and just sat there, not asking what happened. He knew she just needed someone right now, and he was this someone. He felt his shirt wetting, but he didn't really care. The sobbs died away but he could still feel her hot tears streaming. He slowly rocked back and forth. He began singing to her, hoping it could help a little;

"I was thinking 'bout you,

thinking 'bout me,

thinking 'bout us,

what we're gonna be.

Open my eyes,

It was only just a dream.

So I travel back (uh)

down that road (road)

Will she come back? (Uh)

No one knows

I realize (Yeah)

It was only just a dream.

I was at the top and now its like

I'm in the basement,

Number 1 spot,

Now she find her a replacemend

I swear now

I can't take it

Knowing somebody's got my baby

Now you ain't around,

baby I can't think

I shoulda put it down,

shoulda got that ring

Cuz I can still feel it in the air

See her pretty face,

run my fingers through her hair

My love of my life,

My shawty, my wife

She left me, Im tied.

Cuz I knew that it just ain't right.."

He finished and lifted her chin with two fingers. Her normally bright eyes were empty and you could see the pain. "It will be alright, okay?" He whispered and kissed her cheek. He hugged her before standing up. "I'm sorry, i have to go, meet Zayn. Niall's also at home, tell him if anything's wrong, okay?" She nodded and gave him a weak smile. He smiled and tousled her hair. He walked out.

After about 5 minutes, Niall walked in. He sat down besides Chris, who was hugging a pillow. He rubbed her back. As he touched her she felt a prickle in her stomach and she became a goose bump. "I heard you guys earlier. What happened?" He asked in his irish accent. She just buried her face into the pillow. "Hey, you can tell me." He said softly. She shook her head. "But something happened, right?" She nodded in the pillow. "Did someone die?" She shook her head and mumbled a 'no'. "Uh... Did you have a fight with Ed?" Ed.. oh god, when she heard this nams she could scream. She mumbled a 'no' again. "Are you being bullied?" Oh, fuck. She swallowed and stayed still. He put his hand back, he knew that was a yes. "Who?" He asked. She just shook her head. "C'mon Chris, i could help." She looked up in his ocean blue eyes. "You couldn't help." She said emotionless. "Just tell me who it is. I don't want you to be hurt." He said softly. "Is it Zayn?" He asked. "No.." "This Dan guy?" "No..." "Do i know them?" "Kinda.." "Why doesn't Ed protect you?" She looked away. He froze. "D-Does Ed bully you?" tears formed in her eyes. "But.. he's your boyfriend!" "He isn't." He stared at her. "What? But you guys-" "We pretented to date... all the time... Zayn knows about everything, but he never did anything.. Because i'm not worth it.." She bit her lips. "Don't say that, Chrissy.. Nobody deserves to be bullied. You neither.."

He mumbled and pecked her nose. She blushed. "How bad is it?" She threw the pillow away and rolled a bit of her pullover up. You could see, her whole stomach was covered with blue and purple bruises, some little cuts were also there. His mouth dropped open and he looked from her stomach to her. "H-He did all this to you?" He gasped. She just nodded, a single tear streaming down her face. "Oh my god, Chris, i'm so sorry... Why didn't you tell me? Or Liam?" "Liam was too much in love to notice anything.. I didn't think you would take it serious..." She mumbled, looking away. "Chris, i'm always there for you, okay? We have to tell Liam." "No!" Niall shook his head. "He has to know, he's so worry about you anyways!" "But Niall, you don't-" "No 'buts'! I will tell him!" With that, he stood up and walked out.
