Bully to Boyfriend(Zarry)

Chapter Ten

Today was the day Harry had to take care of things himself. He didn't want to hurt Zayn again, but he didn't want Liam to take matters into his own hands.

Although he didn't need his crutches anymore, Harry had to use the school's elevator which required a special pass given to those who are disabled. So instead of hobbling up and down stairs he had to face his fear of elevators. He stood in front of the elevator and just stared at it. He blinked a few times and tried to convince himself that he wouldn't get stuck, or die or anything like that. "Hey, you know the doors only open if you push the button, right?" Zayn laughed beside him.

"Yeah, I.. I know how an elevator works, smartass," Harry said pushing the button slowly.

"Wait, are you afraid of elevators?" Zayn laughed.

"No!.. Yes. I don't know. Maybe. Why do care if I do or not?" The taller lad said nervously. He couldn't make eye contact with his victim, especially since he was doing this against his will. He has grown fond of Zayn and to be honest, he was flattered that he followed him that night he is very thankful that Zayn saved him.

"I'll come on with you." Zayn said once he doors opened. Once the doors closed again Zayn looked at Harry. "Hey, I'm sorry for pushing you too far and asking so many questions." Zayn whispered. Harry didn't say anything. He focused all of his attention on the screen that read the floor number they were on. Finally they were on the 4th floor. When the doors didn't open Harry started to violently push the button to open the door but nothing was happening.

"Zayn, why aren't the doors opening?" Harry asked panicked.

"It's an old elevator Harry. This school has been here since before our parents were conceived."

"So we're stuck? Are you saying we're stuck? Are we stuck? Please don't tell me we are stuck!" Harold panicked. Zayn took Harry's hand.

"It's okay they have a phone in here for a reason. We will just call the main office and they will send someone to help us. No big deal," Zayn opened the phone cubby but there wasn't one. When Harry noticed he panicked even further.

"Z, we have to get out of here. I can't breathe. Please just get us out." Harry desparatly begged, tugging on his curls and gasping for air.

"Hey, we are going to be fine. Here, sit down. Breathe Harry. I promise we will be fine." Zayn soothed. "I have my cell right here, I will call the school." Harry nodded and closed his eyes tightly. He hummed to himself a song his mum would sign him when he couldn't go to sleep. When Harry was younger he would have night terrors about being kidnapped. He would wake up crying and screaming for his mum. "They are sending someone to help us now. It will only be a few more minutes." Zayn assured and took his back pack off and sat next to Harry. "Just don't think about it."

"Liam is pissed off at you, Zayn,"

"What did I do?"

"You sent his brother to jail."

"What are you talking about? The reason he went to jail is because he raped Darcy."

"He what?" Harry said looking to Zayn's eyes.

"She didn't tell you?" Zayn whispered.

"No! Why would he rape her?"

"I guess it was because she dated you instead of him." Harry shook his head. He was speechless.

"I have to beat you up today." Harry announced.

"What? Why?" Zayn shouted.

"He told me that if I didn't hurt you, he would. But much worse than I ever could."

"No! I'm not just going to let you beat me up! That's ridiculous. I didn't do anything wrong! Does he even know why his brother is in jail? The real reason?"

"I don't know, Zayn. What am I going to do? I don't want to hurt you, but I don't want him to either!"

"Since when do you have a problem with hurting me? It's not like you haven't done it before!" Zayn yells.

"Since you saved me! Since you didn't give up on me! Since you dragged me out of that house and waited for me to get out of surgery! Since you fought for me! I haven't had one stable person in my life until I met you, Zayn!" Harold confessed, completely shocking Zayn. "Do you like me?" Harry asked shyly.

"Of course I like you Harry," Zayn said standing up and holding his hand out for Harry to grab it and get up too.

"No, Zayn I mean do you want more than a friendship or whatever this weird thing we have?"

"I never really thought about it."

"But you kissed me. Quite a few times." Harry stated.

"Yes, I have but I just haven't really given it much thought. You toy around with my feelings too much. You always yell at me and beat me up, but then you kiss me."

"I'm confused, Zayn. I've never dated a guy before, but I couldn't help but fall for you. And obviously I'm not good with expressing myself." Harry said holding Zayn close.

"What are we doing with ourselves?"

"I don't know, Z. What I do know is that this elevator is running out of air and I'm going to have another panic attack if they don't fix this thing soon." Harry said letting Zayn go and pressing his back against the wall.

"I'll call them again. I'm pretty sure we've already missed first period." Harry tried to sort things out in his head while Z made the call. Should he talk to Liam and ask him just to give Zayn a break? That will never work, Liam will probably kill him and Zayn. Does he want more from Zayn? Is he ready for a relationship with a guy? He feels bad for messing with Zayn's feelings, but he can't even sort out his own.

"They said the engineer is on his way now, but he had to fix something in a few towns over so he might be a while." The raven haired boy watched as the taller lads face dropped completely.

"No! I need to get out now!" Harry yelled while banging on the door.

"Harold! Calm down I was just kidding! The guy is almost done fixing the electric. It won't be longer than 5 minutes." Harry sighed then turned to face Zayn.

"Don't do that to me you asshole!" Harry yelled. He was mad.

"Mate, calm down it was just a joke." Zayn said putting a hand on Harry's chest. His features softened and he appolgised to the shorter boy. "You need to work on your anger issues, love. You're a bit... What's the word... Hostel," Zayn laughed.

"Yeah, well I'm not perfect, like you."

"I am not perfect!"

"Yes you are Zayn! You get good grades, you're athletic, you're kind, and you are very attractive," Harry smirked, making Zayn blush. Both boys leaned in for a kiss when suddenly the doors opened. They both pulled back with red faces. "Thank you Jesus! I thought I was never going to get out of there!" Harry exclaimed, and hobbled off the elevator.

"But now we have English on the second floor and you aren't allowed to use the stairs." Zayn pointed out.

"Well too bad! I'm not going on that death trap ever again!" Harry laughed.

"Okay, well I'm not carrying you down the stairs." Zayn giggled.
