~Gabriel Pov~


I've been out of school for six days, so I'm starting back today and I hate it already. I got out of shower and got dressed, making sure to sure hide my baby bump, pulling my wet hair into a high ponytail.

I hope today will go smooth and without any problems whatsoever. I have Luke and his friends. Of course Danielle, we've became instant friends ever since she got my back after the locker room incident between Perrie and I. Then there's Liam, he also been looking out making sure his friends don't step out of line and i really appreciate him for that.

I heard a soft knock, turning around to see Angie opening the door slightly poking her head in. "Are you ready? I'm driving you to school."

"Yeah sure," I say, putting on my jacket and zipping it up, grabbing my bag and whatever else and I was off to school.


~Luke Pov~
I was showered and dressed, while stumbling downstairs slipping on my pair of Vans. When i reached the bottom, I stopped in front of a hanging mirror making sure I looked okay and my hair is styled the way i like it. After a few adjustments, I pulled out my phone and text Calum that i'm on my way since he's already at the school because his mother dropped him off.

"Mum, I'll see you later," I said, slipping my phone in my pocket and I was on my way out the door.

"Wait, Luke."

I turned to see my mother jogged downstairs towards me with a index card in her hand. "Could you drop something off for me before you head off?"

"Yeah sure," I shrugged, knowing I had enough time to spare before heading off to school.

"I want you to drop this recipe off to Trish before she goes to work. At least I hope she's still there."

I sighed before taking the recipe and kissed my mother on the cheek. "Okay. Later." I say going out the door.

"Later, hun. Be good in school."

I really didn't want to go over to my ex friend's house. All I am going to do is drop the recipe off and that's about it. Hopefully.

Once I pulled up in the Maliks' driveway, I got out and approached the front door. "Well, here goes nothing." I said to myself, as I knocked and waited. While I was waiting, I was hoping and praying that 'asshole' don't come and answer the door because he isn't worth my time. All of a sudden, the door opened and sure enough there he is, standing before me. He didn't look too thrilled to see me. "Hemmings."

"Malik. Let me guess, you're not too happy to see me, I hope." I said with a hint of sarcasm in my tone.

"Nope, I don't. What are you doing here?" Zayn asked, in an annoyed tone.

I pulled the recipe out of my back pocket and held it up for him to see. "My mother told me to give this recipe to your mother. She let my mum borrow it and so I'm returning it. Is your mother home by any chance?"

He ran his hand through his raven black hair, leaning against the door. "You've just missed her."

"Oh, okay. Well here," I said, handing him the recipe. "tell your mum that my mum said thanks." I turned around about to head to my car.

"How are things?"

I stopped and turned to look at him, confused. "What you mean?"

He chuckled shaking his head. "You know exactly what i mean, Hemmings." He said stepping onto the porch. "You and Gabriel. I mean, you obviously got what you wanted, right?"

"Dude, what the hell is wrong with you? Gabriel and I are just friends."

"Yeah, sure like I suppose to believe that. You and I both know you want her." He said, his voice a bit louder.

I look at him as if he were crazy. "What-"

"I see the way she looks at you. The way you both are around each other. How could I even forget? Whenever I see you two, I'm being reminded of that fucking day-"

"When you broke her heart and left her on the sidewalk that day? The day our friendship fell apart?" I asked taking steps towards him.

"No, you're the cause of our friendship to end up where it is now. Things would be just fine between Gabriel and I, if you weren't-" His voice lowered at the last part and then he paused. That's when it hit me. How come I haven't thought of this.

"Whoa," I lift my eyebrow. "I can't believe it. It was her, wasn't it? ... Gabriel? ... The girl you were crushing on. Oh my god," I chuckled lightly. "I cannot believe it. Gabriel was the girl you liked all along."

"I didn't just like her, I loved her and you ruined that,"

"So that's what this is about, huh? You couldn't stand seeing Gabby and I together.. and so you're doing all of this to get back at her, am i right? All this torture is just get back at her and, well, me right?" I watched as he stood there and frowns at me. "How much of a dick are you?"

His eyes went wide at the name. "You're calling me a dick?"

"Yes. You're a dick."

"You better watch it, Hemmings." He growled.

"Or you what?.. Kick my ass right outside your driveway? Or better yet, make my life a living hell? If anyone ruined everything is you. You're the one who caused all this shit for in the first place. You're the one who should be apologizing to Gabriel and me. You ruined everything." I say angrily.

He was about to talk but I interrupted him. "I want you to listen carefully," I say, my voice dim, dull, and dusky. "And you listen good. I'd never thought I'd see the day our friendship grew apart all because you're so wrapped up over this one girl. Our best friend." I averted my gaze from his letting out a sigh. "As I went to comfort her after what happened, she did told me something but I promised I won't say anything. She won't be very happy of me, but -- I'm going to tell you anyway.." I looked at him.

"W-Well.. um okay.." Zayn said, unsure of what he's about to hear.

I emitted a sigh. "She liked you. As a matter of fact she really cared about you. And you want to know what really sucks.. she still does after all you've done put her through." I looked at his facial expression, which is full of regret and guilt.

"I'll have to be straight up with you but i love her. I really don't want to say this but.. I would be jealous of you. Because no one could make her smile like you do. No one could make her laugh like you do. And no one makes her happier than you do."

He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. "I don't know what to say.."

"You know what don't say anything." I rolled my eyes. "After all I've just said, you don't care. You know what your problem is? You're too wrapped up in this perfect life you're living and your new friends to even care."

"Maybe that's just it, Luke," He said, his voice calm and soft. "Maybe I still do."

I gritted my teeth the entire time trying not to say something that I might regret. Instead I got into my car and drove off to school.

My classes flew by and it was now lunch period. After putting away my things, i was making way to the cafeteria when all of a sudden I see Zayn with Harry, Niall, Louis, and Liam. Harry and Niall talking and laughing about something. Liam and Louis in conversation. I turned away quickly before Zayn meets my gaze. I really don't want to go to lunch and see Zayn the whole time, so I walked past the lunchroom.

All of a sudden i felt arms wrapped around me. I spun around, only to be looking straight into Michael's eyes. "Are you okay?" He asked with worry, his arms still wrapped around my waist.

I nodded. "Um, y-yeah."

"Are you going to lunch? You know, the baby needs food." He reaches out to brush a strand of hair away from my face.

"Yeah, i'm going to eat," I replied, looking over his shoulder at Zayn and his friends. "it's just.."

Michael followed my eyes, then took the hint. "Gabby, don't worry. Me and the guys have your back. None of them wouldn't dare mess with you as long we're around, okay?"

I let out a sigh, giving him a small smile. "I know,"

"Come on, lets go"

I gave in and walked into the cafeteria, getting our food. After getting our food, we walked to our table. I don't know why but I had this nervous feeling that Zayn's watching me but I didn't dare look his way. As we approached our table, Calum, Luke, and Ashton looked up at us when we took our seat.

"Oh, there you are." Ashton spoke, shoving fries in his mouth.

"Yeah, we thought you two might have stopped somewhere and sucked each other faces off." Calum said making him and Ashton laugh. I rolled my eyes at them, opening my bottle water. Luke was the only one who didn't laugh, instead staring down at his tray as if something on his mind. And I was starting to worry.

"Hey, guys. Hey, Gabby," I looked up to see Danielle taking a seat next to me.

"Hey Dani," I smiled.

Ever since she and Liam had their little problem, she started sitting with us. They still don't talk, well, Liam been trying to work some things out in their relationship but Danielle's still upset with him. I understand what Liam did was wrong but he really felt bad of what he did, and I strongly feel she should give him another chance.

I looked down at my food. I wasn't even hungry to be honest. Just looking at it make me feel the urge to vomit. I looked over at Michael to find him watching me. After staring at my food for awhile i decided to start eating, even though I didn't want to. I thought I was going to puke it up, but managed to keep it down. After lunch, I put my tray away, Michael and I gave each other 'see you later' kiss and left the lunchroom, I went to my locker getting things out for my next class.

"Hey," I look up to see Luke standing by my locker. "I think I left my History book in here," I stepped to the side so he can find his textbook, then he pulled it out. "Got it. Thanks love." He thanked me and then kissed me on the cheek and was about to turn to leave but i caught his arm.

"Luke, can I ask you something?" I asked.

"Yeah, sure." He simply shrugged. "Whats wrong?"

"Its just that... are you alright? You hardly spoke at lunch and its so unlike you. And I was kind of worried."

He looked to the side and then back at me. "Yeah. I'm fine."

"Are you sure?" I furrowed my eyebrows slightly.

"I'm okay, nothing for you to worry about." He managed a soft smile. "Hey, i got to go. I'll catch up with you later beautiful." He pecked my cheek again before he went down the hall to his class.

At the sound of the bell, I shut my locker and went to my next hour.
---

It was the last hour of the day and it was Gym. The excuse was already made by my mother to the principal as to why I couldn't participate in any extracurricular activity.

Instead of sitting on the bleachers and doing absolutely nothing but watch the other kids playing the volleyball, I decided to get a pass to the library and get started on this essay for English. After my pass was signed by my gym teacher and went straight to the library.

As soon as I got inside, I sat at one of the wooden round tables and was getting started on my essay. The library was by far one of my favorite places in the school. Maybe one of my favorite places in the whole world, actually. Maybe its because hardly anyone comes here and its always peaceful, no one bothers me here.

I got confused on something while working on my essay and decide to do a little research. I went aisle after aisle, and shelf after shelf of books to find what I was looking for. After about five minutes of searching, I've found a book what I think would help and tugged it off the shelf. When I thought no one else is in the library, I nearly had an heart attack only to turn around and find Harry behind me.

"Hey love," He said, smiled pleasantly. "Are you not happy to see me?"

I didn't say anything back but kept quiet trying not to look into his emerald eyes. "Well... I guess you don't want to talk, but that's fine. I want to apologize.. I'm sorry for being so selfish and I figured maybe we can work something out."

I looked up at him furrowing my eyebrows in confusion unsure where this is going. Is he actually trying to be nice to me all of sudden or is this all an act? Who knows.

"Well, will you forgive me?" He asked with raised eyebrows waiting for my answer.

I thought about it but a part of me feel I shouldn't give in. "I don't know," I said quietly, trying to find some excuse and get out of there. Because I really don't want to be in the same room he is. "I h-have to go."

That's when he blocked my way to keep me from moving around him, and I was getting kind of terrified. "Whats wrong? Don't you forgive me?"

"I don't know. I have to think about it," I said, trying to move pass but he still wouldn't budge. I looked over his shoulder hoping someone would come in and see what's going on but no one. "What? You think your boyfriend would come in here and rescue you? What's his name -- Michael?"

I gulped, shaking with fear under his gaze. "Hey babe," He purred, as he reached out and push strand of hair behind my hair causing me to flinch. "Don't be frightened of me. I know you want me."

I looked up at him as if he were nuts. "W-What?" I asked, but he shh'd me.

"Come on, I know you want me," He smirked, coming closer and started rubbing my bum. "and don't lie either."

"Harry, stop please.. this is w-wrong.." I said, tried pushing him away, closing my eyes not daring to look at him.

"Michael doesn't treat you right, but I can." He said huskily. I shook my head and felt tears coming down my face. Why is this happening to me? Why me?

I started whimpering, hoping he would let go and just leave, but instead I heard him chuckled darkly. "Trust me, by the time i'm finished with you. My name will be the one you'll be screaming tonight when he fucks you." He said, when he started kissing down my neck.

"No, PLEASE!" I screamed, tried pushing him off. Then all of a sudden he was forcefully being pulled off of me to my surprise by a familiar raven-haired boy. And I recognized who it was right then and there as the two boys intensely stared down at each other, breathing rapidly.

"Zayn," Harry sneered. "what the hell are you doing? I almost had my way with her."

"Enough," Zayn growled.

Harry then turned to me. "We're not done yet,"

I shook my head, that's when Zayn shoved at the curly haired boy nearly knocking him against the book shelf. "I said enough." His tone rose a bit, making me shake because he would use the exact tone when I don't answer back.

"Whats gotten into you, Malik? You're not going soft like Payno are you?" Harry asked, glaring back at the tanned boy. "You're letting this fucking bitch get in between us." I watched on not sure who's going to reach their breaking point.

"Harry, just go" Zayn said, closing his eyes briefly.

The tall curly lad jaws locked and balled up his fists, then what got me by surprise me he lunged at Zayn. His fist went to collide Zayn's jaw. My hands flew up to my mouth to keep from letting out any sound. Zayn managed to dodge the punch, tackling the taller boy against the book shelf and given him a heavy blow to his stomach, then followed by another.

Harry doubled over in pain his arm wrapped around his stomach. "I'm only going to say this one more time.. go." Zayn ordered, and soon the curly haired boy gave Zayn one last glare and left the library.

I was still trying to figure out what just happened, then I turned to Zayn who watched his friend leave before he met my gaze. I didn't know whether to thank him or just run out of there. I'm still frightened of him. That monster he became when he took away my innocence that night, i'll never forget; i'm still afraid of him. But a part of me want to believe maybe he didn't meant for it to happened because he was drunk; besides he still doesn't know i'm carrying our unborn child. The child I'm going to raise on my own, wishing he would be there to help and love more than anything.

He inched closer but I backed away, "Leave me alone. Have you done enough?" I asked rather harsh, watching as he remained quiet, unsure how to respond.

I was quite astound when he broke the silence between us. "Gabriel, look .. I.." His voice quiet.

That's when tears started to pouring from my eyes, I just wanted break down; letting out all the pain in front of him he caused. "I s-suffered, Zayn. Every d-day, for you."

His eyes widened as he caught my gaze. "You treated me as if I was nothing. Y-you treated me like trash. I got kicked, punched, spit at, all because of you." I choked back a sob. "But you know what? I took it. You selfish asshole, look what you've put me through! I loved you!" I sobbed as more tears began to fall.

His eyes never left mine and i could tell he didn't expect me to stand up to him. "Gabriel.."

There was the only thing i had to let off my chest and I couldn't hold it back any longer. "You hate me, don't you? Tell me.. Why do you hate me?"

He kept quiet and just simply shook my head at him, moving past him to grab my belongings about to leave. That's when I hear him spoke. "I'm not sure it's you I hate Gabriel." His voice quiet. "Maybe this whole time I've hated myself."

His words left me absolutely stunned, almost at a loss for words. I gave him one last glance before I walked out of the library. As i walked further and further down the hall, his words still running throughout my mind.
