Forbidden Love

Chapter 3

“Mia, there you are!” Niall said standing next to my locker. I tried my best to cover the bruise without makeup. Zayn came into my room early in the morning and hid my entire thing of makeup.

“What do you want Niall? I have to get to homeroom.” I say hiding the gigantic bruise on my cheek.

“We can go together.” He replied eagerly.

“Fine.” I gave up. Niall closed my locker door and gasped.

“Mia, what happened to your face?” He asked.

“I slipped on some water, fell, and hit my face on the table yesterday.” I said half lying.

“Did your dad hi--”

“Don’t bring that bastard up ever again do you understand?!” I snapped at him. “And besides he’s back in Bradford with my sisters. I just slipped and fell. Now let’s get to class.”

“Oi, do any of you know where I can get a job?” I asked at lunch time.

“You’re not getting a job.” Zayn said.

“Yes I am. Beside I wasn’t talking to you Zayn.” I say talking another bit of my pizza. He just glared at me. I smirked but that hurt my cheek.

“Mia where did you get that bruise from?” Liam asked me.

“I slipped on water, fell, and hit my face on the edge of the table.” Everyone, except Zayn, looked at me with worried expression. Zayn looked down at his phone and his expression changed.

“Listen I have to go. Mia I’ll see you at home.” Zayn said getting up from the table but walked over to where I was sitting and bent down close to my ear.

“Doniya just texted me she said that they released Damon. He came to the house looking for you. She told him we moved and only her, dad, Waliyha, and Safaa live there now house.” He whispered in my ear and walked away.

“Mia, are you okay? You’re pale and shaking.” Niall asked me.

“Yeah, I’m just going to the roof top for the rest of the day. Anyone want to join me?” I asked getting up and taking my lunch and bag with me.

“I’ll go! Harry who do you feel like ditching class for the rest of the day?” Niall said getting up. Harry, Louis, and Liam stood up as well.

“C’mon before lunch is over.” Liam said leading us all to the rooftop.

Only my second day of school and I’m ditching. New record!

“Mia, you know you can trust us right? We know we just met you yesterday, but we’re trustworthy. So if you want to tells us, or me, what Zayn told you that made you scared or how you really got that bruise then you can tell me.” Liam said breaking the silence. I thought for a minute and decided to tell them all about Damon, but only tell Liam about Zayn.

“H-have you guys heard about a guy name Damon Michaels on the news?” I asked them after a while of silence.

“Nope.” They all answered after thinking.

“Well, he’s my ex-boyfriend from two years ago he was three years older than me. Damon was known at all the schools at Bradford f-for selling drugs. Well I didn’t know that at the time her asked me out so I said yes. One day we were at school and the police took us out. They questioned him and then they questioned me and accused me of selling and taking drugs and I kept denying it so they took Damon back in and used a lie detector. They did the same with me. But that is beside the fact. Damon knows people and he can get things and do things. Now he is out of jail looking for me. He even went to my old house to find me.” I say and didn’t realize I was crying.
