Happens Naturally

Chapter 11

Sarah's POV)

" I'm home!" I called out, as soon as I walked into the house.

" Sarah! Guys! Sarah's home!" Zayn yelled, running towards me.

Zayn pulled me into a bear hug, causing me to wince because of the bruises all over my stomach from training. Zayn pulled apart from the hug and looked at me smiling, then turned serious when he saw the bruise on my cheek.

" Sarah. Bloody h-"

" Zayn shh! Don't say anything please?" I whispered.

Zayn shook his head and pulled me into my room upstairs. Once he shut the door he walked over to me, taking a closer look at the bruise.

" Sarah, what the heck happened to your face!" Zayn whispered.

" Zayn if I tell you, you have to promise not to tell any of the boys, understand? This thing is important to me, understand?" I said seriously.

Zayn nodded and stood there silently. I took a deep breath.

" I'm car racing." I whispered.

Zayn's eyes grew wide, and he started to smile.

" Are you serious? Like racing racing cars?" Zayn said excitedly.

I nodded and began explaining about meeting Will, getting my car, and training. I showed him the rest of my bruises and talked about how I beat Will a couple of times. Zayn shook his head suddenly.

" Sarah, this racing stuff is serious. People don't kid around at these things. And people get hurt." Zayn warned.

I nodded and smiled.

" I know what I'm doing Zayn, and I promise to stay safe. But you have to promise not to tell any of the boys. This is a secret between you and I understand?" I said sternly.

Zayn nodded and pulled me into another hug but immediately pulled away in disgust.

" Gross! You're like drenched in sweat!" Zayn whined causing me to laugh.

" What are you going to tell them about the bruise though? I mean, make up might be able to cover it up a bit but it will show." Zayn said worried.

" Don't worry. I'll make up some story." I said, shrugging.

" Now out! I need to shower. And get ready for my first race at 8." I said excitedly.

Zayn smiled and got up.

" Can I come?" He begged.

" Maybe my next one, I need you here to cover for me." I said, giving him a small smile.

Zayn nodded then quickly walked out of my room so I could shower and change. I locked my door in case.

Once I was done with my shower, I began drying my hair, putting it into a French braid. Then I started to put make up on and making sure to but foundation on so it could cover most of the bruise. Satisfied with how it turned out, I walked into my closet and slipped on my gray leggings and put on my white 'PINK' tank top on. Once I was done I grabbed my phone and texted Zayn real quick.

Sarah- Hey:) Who's downstairs right now?

Zayn- All of us:/

Sarah- ugh. Okay, I'm coming down. You let anything slip and I'll kill you, got it?

Zayn- So violent Sarah:)

Sarah- I'm serious Zayn.

Zayn- Don't worry. No one will know okay?

Sarah- thanks love:3

I opened my door and began hoping down the stairs, which lucky me caused everyone to look at me. I smiled and walked into the kitchen, completely ignoring Liam. I walked into the kitchen and went for the fridge for a water bottle when I heard someone behind me.

" Sarah.".

I ignored Liam and walked out of the kitchen and walked into the living room. The only spots on the couches were either next to Louis, between Harry and Zayn, or next to Niall and Liam. I walked over to Louis and sat right next to him, pulling my phone out. Suddenly I felt everyone's eyes were on me.

" Sarah." Harry said, his voice hoarse.

" Yeah?" I said, looking up to him.

" Where were you this morning?" Liam butt in.

I rolled my eyes and looked at my phone.

" Sarah Payne. Where were you this morning?" Liam asked, more sternly now.

" None of your business." I said, not looking away from my phone.

" Well it is kind of my business since you disappeared last night and didn't come home till three in the morning, then disappeared three hours later. And if you don't mind, please explain why we have the most expensive sport cars out in our driveway." Liam said in a annoyed voice.

" Felt like getting a car." I shrugged.

" So you get the top sport car in history?" Liam asked.

" So? Your point is?" I said, looking up meeting eyes with him.

" I'd like you to explain what the heck are you doing." Liam snapped.

I shrugged again and played with my braid.

" Like I said, none of your business." I said in a bored tone.

Suddenly Liam shot straight up and threw his glass cup at the wall, causing all the boys to flinch but me. Then he looked over to me, his eyes cold.

" Why are you doing this? Huh? You give everyone else a chance, but me! You talk to all of them but me! Then you are disappearing for hours! Then coming back like it's totally normal!" Liam screamed.

All of the boys stood completely still, as if they were afraid to make a move. I slowly stood up and took two steps forward. We stood completely still, looking into each other's face. Suddenly Liam frowned and looked at the side of my face then gasped.

" Sarah.. What is that?" Liam growled.

"Nothing." I said, turning my head.

Suddenly I felt a hand grip under my chin, turning my face towards him. Liam's thumb rubbed over the makeup gently, so that he could see the bruise. I could hear the rest of the boys ( besides Zayn) gasp. Then suddenly Harry stood up.

" Who was it?" He snapped.

I pulled away from Liam's grip and looked straight at Harry.

" No on-"

" Sarah don't feed me any bull shit." Harry interrupted.

I froze and looked at my fingers and took a deep breath.

" No one. I'm telling the truth. I went to the store to grab a few things and one of the workers accidentally hit me with the door." I lied calmly.

It was real quiet, till Zayn stood up.

" I have a confession.",
