Chapter 10 - Everthing.

Louis was sitting in class when it happened, note still in his hand when Niall ran in with a frantic look on his face. He searched the room until his eyes landed on Louis, then clumsily running over to the boy. Louis didn't know what was going on but he was worried, Niall looked hysteric.

Louis thought maybe something happened to Justin, or his dad but he really didn't expect Niall to shout at him to get up and get to Zayn. He was shoved out of the classroom, tugged down the hall and into a random class. Well, it wasn't actually a random class. It was a rather hectic classroom with a group of rowdy kids all surrounding another.

"What's going on?" Louis asked, hoping it wasn't Zayn in the middle of the group because he could feel the tense air in the room. He knew whoever was the center of attention, wasn't there for a good reason.

"It's Zayn, hurry!" Niall pushed, dragging Louis through the small crowd.

"What's wrong," Louis' words fell short when he caught sight of Zayn, he was sitting next to a desk, his face red and covered in tears.

Louis wasn't really one to get angry, sure he got annoyed sometimes but he hardly ever got angry to the point where he felt let he could break something -or someone. But when he saw Zayn in the state he was in, he almost did. He almost punched the kid next to him, even though it probably wasn't his fault. Either way, Louis' baby was overly upset and whoever was responsible for it would surely be seeing Louis before the end of the day.

"What the fuck happened to him!?" Louis hissed, glaring at all the faces around him. He didn't get an answer, just stares which only pissed him off more. He glared before he crouched down so he was level with Zayn, greeting the shaking boy with a soft hello.

"Zayn, baby, what's wrong? What's happened?" Louis asked, softly grasping Zayn's face in his hands as he attempted to make eye contact with the smaller boy.

"Nothing happened, dude. I think he's having a panic attack." A voice said, Louis wasn't sure who it belonged to but he figured they must be right because he'd seen it happen before. It wasn't as bad, possibly because Zayn wasn't surrounded by his entire class.

"Well could you all back the fuck up, it won't help!" Louis snapped, a few people did but it was a group of high school students and this was something way more interesting than their classwork, it wouldn't be that easy to get them away.

"Now!" Louis snapped, successfully intimidating everyone around him. It was surprising for almost everyone in the room because everyone knew Louis as the sassy yet completely harmless boy but he kind of just proved them wrong.

Louis glared at the last few people who still stood around them and just about gave up on trying to get them away but a familiar tattooed arm came into his view and pushed them away, luckily they were all guys so Justin pushing them wasn't a big deal.

"Fuck off, would ya?" Justin growled and there was little to no hesitation in the movement from the remaining boys as they backed away.

"Fuckin' dicks." Justin said as he glared at them, not breaking his heated stare until he felt the boys would mind their business.

Louis quickly thanked him before he gave Zayn his undivided attention. He tried pulling Zayn up to get him out of the classroom but Zayn seemed to get more hysteric. Louis hardly knew what was happening or what he could do, the last time this happened Liam was around and handled it. He'd been told to leave their house so he wasn't around to see exactly how he did it but he'd have to figure it out.

"Baby, look at me." Louis said which didn't help much, Zayn probably hadn't even heard him. Louis kept repeating it, something along the lines of it until Zayn finally looked up at him. Zayn's bloodshot eyes finally locked with Louis' and it was as if he was injected with a large dosage of calm. Louis' eyes always did that for him, he just had to find them.

His mind was hazy all the times Louis had tried to get his attention but when Louis' voice finally broke through and caught Zayn's attention, it was the best thing at the time. As soon as Zayn realized it was Louis in front of him, his entire body seemed to relax. He pushed his body away from the desk he was leaning on and right into Louis' arms, wrapping him an almost vice like grip.

"Hey baby, you're alright." Louis whispered into the younger boys ear, hugging him tightly to his chest. Zayn didn't respond, his words caught in his throat -as they always were when he was around anyone but Louis.

"Zayn, is this somebody's fault?" Louis asked, he knew the panic attacks came with the mental disability his boyfriend had but he also knew they weren't this sever.

Zayn nodded slowly, his hands gripping tighter at the back of Louis' shirt. If it wasn't for Zayn's strong grip on the older boy, he'd probably be attacking everybody in the room. Whoever he thought to be guilty of causing this.

"Who did it, baby?" Louis asked, his words whispered into Zayn's ear. He didn't want to the person to over hear and think to leave before they got confronted.

Zayn pulled his face away from Louis slightly, angling his head to whisper in Louis' ear, "Ian and Cole were t-t," Zayn's words trailed off into a stutter so Louis thought of what he might be trying to say and questioned it.

"Teasing?" Louis asked and Zayn shook his head, they were somewhat teasing him but it wasn't the word he was looking for. It was too light of a word for what the two were doing.

"Taun- taunt," - "taunting?" Louis asked, after Zayn managed to stutter out more of the word. Zayn nodded quickly, unknowingly starting a million fires in Louis' body that would lead him to see nothing but red.

It took almost all of Louis' willpower to stop himself from pushing Zayn off and attacking the two boys but he somehow managed. He stood with a soft kiss to Zayn's head and carried the smaller boy out of the room. He could feel everyone in there staring at them and he was growing tired of it, plus he was sure he'd snap on Ian and Cole if he stayed in the room any longer.

"Can we go home, Louis?" Zayn asked, practically whining and Louis would be lying if he said he didn't absolutely love the way the younger boy said his name.

"'Course we can, beautiful." Louis said, making a detour to the parking lot. He didn't bother getting their stuff, he'd just have to text Justin or Niall and tell them to grab it for them.

"Tomlinson, back to class!" Coach Carter, Louis' gym teacher barked.

"Fuck off, would ya?" Louis said, laughing at himself as he realized he sounded exactly like Justin. It was no wonder the two were best friends. He turned to look at his teacher and found her eyes nearly bulging out of her head and Louis laughed harder, nearly falling over with Zayn still in his arms.

"Please, don't let me fall." Zayn mumbled, tightening his hold on Louis.

"I would never." Louis said, meaning it in more way than one and unbeknownst to him, Zayn took it in more ways than.
