Mary's POV
Niall had gone out with the guys so I decided to dance around singing to some of their songs. It felt good to finally have my leg out of that stupid cast. I was blasting “C’mon C’mon” and dancing like an idiot having a blast but stopped when I heard laughter. I turned around to see Niall had brought the guys back and they got to see my awkward dancing. Other than Niall Zayn had the biggest smile and kept his eyes on me.
"Hi." I said blushing at the ground.
"Aw she's blushing." Harry said which caused me to blush even more.
"Harry you embarrassed her even more." Louis laughed.
"It's easy to embarrass her." Niall said smiling at me while I glared playfully at him.
"I can't help it. I'm like a little awkward duckling." I said.
"No you're not." Niall said picking me up and spinning me around. "You're my beautiful little Princess." He said sitting me down and kissing the tip of my nose. "I love you."
"I love you to Ni." I said kissing his cheeks.
"You do remember we're here right?" asked Harry.
"Of course." I told him. "You guys need anything?"
"Can I get some water?" Zayn asked.
"Sure. Niall why don't you pop in a movie while I go get some popcorn too." I told him.
"Sure Love." He said as I headed for the kitchen. I popped some popcorn in the microwave and grabbed a bowl.
Zayn's POV
I watched Mary leave the room and I knew I was in trouble. How could I start to like one of my mate's girlfriends? If Niall finds out I don't know how he'll react but I can't help it. She's just so beautiful, nice, sweet, and caring.
"Here you go Zayn." Mary said handing me water.
"Thanks." I replied.
"No problem." She said sitting a couple bowls of popcorn on the table.
"What we watchin?" she asked.
"Snow White and The Huntsman." Harry answered.
"My favorite." She stated.
"We know." we all said together. After the movie went off she got up to take the empty bowls into the kitchen.
"I got it. Sit back down Love." Niall said grabbing the bowls and heading towards the kitchen. Mary threw a pillow at me.
"You did not just do that." I said.
"Oh but I did." She said.
Mary's POV
Zayn got up and started walking towards me. When he was in front of me he raised his hands like he was going to grab me. As he reached for me I unwillingly flinched into the couch and tears gathered in my eyes.
"Zayn get the fuck away from her now." Niall said angrily but not quite yelling.
"I didn't touch her Niall." He said.
"I said to get away from her Malik." Niall said with even more anger which caused Zayn to back off. Niall walked over and wrapped his arms around me pulling me on his lap. "Ssshh. I got ya." He said rocking. I let the tears fall not caring that the boys are here.
"Can you explain what just happened?" Liam asked after my tears slowed. Niall looked at me and I just nodded my head telling him it was okay as I cuddled into his chest.
"You remember when she had the cast on her leg?" Niall asked.
"Yea. She fell down stairs right?" Zayn asked.
"Sort of. The day she got the cast put on her father had been beating her. He shoved her down the stairs for no reason. That day she told me that her father had abused her since she was seven after her mother died in a car accident. That's one of the reasons why she moved in." Niall told them. "I promised her the first night she stayed here that her father or any other man would never lay a hand on her. That's one promise I'll never break." They all looked at me with sad expressions but Zayn's was the saddest.
"I'm so sorry." Liam said looking at me. "You know none of us would ever hurt you right?"
"I know. Zayn I'm sorry if I upset you." I said.
"Don't be you had every reason to be scared. I just don't understand how someone could hurt such a sweet girl like you." Zayn stated. I got up and walked over to Zayn giving him a hug which soon all the others joined.
"Come here." Niall said as I yawned. He scooped me up bridal style. “I'll be back down in a minute guys."
"Good night." The boys said.
"Night." I said cuddling into Niall's chest as he carried me to our room. He laid me down and tucked me in.
"Good night Princesses. I love you." He said gently kissing my forehead.
"I love you too Ni." I said and quickly drifted to sleep.
