The Horror Of Love (AU)

Chapter 3

The day went on fairly quickly for the most part. It was almost time for me to leave, as long as no one decided to come in right now. Just then the bell on the door dinged singling a customer had just arrived, I sighed putting on a fake smile.

"Hello how may I help you today?" I asked looking up at the end of my sentence . He was hot . Dark brown eyes, Dark brown hair with a streak of blond going up the middle,And styled up into a neat tidy quiff. He was basically the definition of tall dark and handsome.

"Two strawberry smoothies please." His voice was bored, as if answering a teacher you'd rather not pay attention to, without looking up.

"Coming right up. Your order number is 69." I replied and Harry burst out laughing. "Oh grow up Harold!" I yelled at him turning around to glare.

"You're right . You're right. Sorry." He gasped still laughing. I turned back around.

"Sorry about him, he is a little mentally retarded or something." He chuckled. The sound was so genuine, so free. It made me jealous that he didn't feel the pain I felt, that he could be happy.

"It's alright. I'm Zayn by the way." He smiled. i tried to give one back  in reply but it ended more like a grimace.

"I'm Arura. Nice to meet you."

"Well it would be lovely if i could see you again." He smiled flirtily. I heard Harry gasp. Harry had asked me out just about everyday since we met so if i said yes to Zayn he was sure to be pissed off.

"I would love that." I smirk as I heard another gasp. Well that's what he gets for being a twat. Zayn's smile widened.

"Here's your smoothie." Harry grumbled before sulking off to the back.

"Could I have your number?" He asked hopefully, yet cocky , like he knew I'd say yes. I was really doing this to piss Harry off but maybe a new friend couldn't hurt.

"Sure, why not?" I wrote my name and number on a napkin for him. I handed it to him and he winked.

"See you around." Then eh left hopping into a purple Mercedes handing the driver a smoothie although I couldn't see their face. Just then Niall walked in coming for his shift.

"Hey Nialler." I said taking my apron off and putting it in the wash bin. "How was your day?"

"Great yours?" He asked cheerily.

"Well some guy hit on me and I gave him my number, Harry's sulking in the back so have fun with that one." He groaned.

"Not again." The other night I was working at the Bar and the gang had come to see me so that when my shift ended we could hand out. After I got off and had a couple of drinks I ended up grinding and snogging this guy. Harry went home and wouldn't believe anyone when they said I didn't go home with him. I gave Niall an apologetic look and walked home. There was nothing for me to do so i decided to read my favorite book Rules. David had just started opening all the doors in jason's house when I got a text message.

Fro Dani: Don't forget you're working with Perrie tonight. She wont say anything but she'll be pissed if you don't show.  Xx

I groaned really just wanting to finish the book and go to bed. Sighing I stood up stretching and changed into a black pencil skirt, black button up shirt, with some black heels. We really didn't have a work outfit but we -meaning Perrie, Danielle, Eleanor and I- decided to have one. I didn't want my hair down as it had a tendency of getting in my face so I pulled it into a tight, high pony tail with my bangs covering my left eye. 

To Dani: kk. Walking out the door right now. Xx

It wasn't bad working at the bar. I actually enjoyed it. It was fun with all the music besides sometimes someone will buy you a drink. When I got there I smiled at Perrie with a small wave to show her I was here before heading to the back. I put my purse and jacket in the back room and put on my heels ans I had walked here in my TOMS.

"Hey Girly!" I called over the blasting to Perrie. "What's shaken'?" I grinned cheekily to her as she rolled her eyes. Perrie and I were actually the closest out all the girls but nobody knew that, Everyone thought we were friends but not close. I don't know why nobody knew or why we didn't tell anybody. That's just the way things were I guess.

"Nothing just working. How you holding up?" She was the only one who knew about my depression. She had caught me taking my pills and didn't jump to conclusions just asked what I took them for. That night I told her everything, that night we became best friends because she shared her secrets with me too.

"I'm goo but do you wanna come over tonight? Spend the night?" I used my puppy dog eyes even though I wouldn't need them. 

"Of course Ari." She grinned and I smiled the most genuine smile had in a while.

"Hey girls I could use another drink here!" Yelled an angry half-drunk.

"Coming right up sir." I called grabbing a bottle of Vodka to refill his shot glass. The rest of the night went on and by one Danielle and Eleanor came to take over.

"Hey I'll meet you at your's , just gonna head to my place for a few things. Kay?" I just nodded. I started on my walk home humming How To Save A Life by The Fray  quietly to myself. 

"Hey look guys isn't that the pretty young thing from the bar?" I hear a slurred voice yell, so I pick up my pace praying that they weren't talking about me. 

"Hey where do you think you're going?" A different one called at me. Oh god! Oh god! No. Please No! Not me, please! I felt a hand grab my wrist and spin me around. Suddenly I was faced with the foul smell of beer and a very ugly unshaven face. "You're mine for the night." He growled making me shiver in disgust. He pressed his lips to mine and I tried to shove him back. I guess that was the wrong move because next thing I know I'm being slammed intro the wall. Hard. I whimpered in pain but that only seemed to drive him further. "I'm going to make you scream." He whispered into my ear. He's going to rape me. I just hoped I could be quiet and not anger him any more. Although he could want me to scream but I had been taught not to.

*A/N: Hey guys so I will still update on Wednesday but i finished this and already started the next Chapter so I decided to post this. So I have kind of an update schedule now; Wednesday every week because I get out of school an hour early, and because it's the middle of the week. However  will most likely be updating most weekends too, though it will not always be Friday nor Saturday or Sunday, meaning it will vary. But if I don't update on a weekend don't freak but if I don't update on a Wednesday feel free to hunt me down and put a gun to my head 'till I do. (Wow that was voilent but oh well.) BYE SPARKLES!!!!! *
