Got A Secret, Can You Keep It?

Heartbreak

-Ali's P.O.V-

I walked into school, confidently. I was early, because I knew Zayn was always early. I had on an orange tank with a bow in the back and white denim shorts and my orange Toms. I held a white rose in my hand, with a note attached to it.

'A Day Without You Is Like A Year Without Rain.

-Ali'

That's what I put on the card. I was going to give it to Zayn and tell him my feelings for him. I knew he was already in the empty classroom, so I walked to it. I placed my hand on the knob and looked into the small rectangular mirror. I gasped, and dropped my hand. Zayn was on one of the desks, making out with the head cheerleader, Lilly. Tears trickled my eyes as I dropped the rose. I stomped on the rose and smashed it with my foot. I spun around and sprinted out of the school. I ran all the way home.

I burst into my flat and ran upstairs. I slammed my door and locked it. I started sobbing. I was shaking violently and my sobs were really loud. I fell onto my bed on my stomach and buried my head in my pillow. I let out a loud scream, muffled by my pillow. I started crying. He didn't love me. How could he? Suddenly I smelt smoke. I sat up, and wiped my cheeks. I saw smoke seeping into my room. I started coughing. I grabbed my pillow and covered my nose and mouth. I got down on my hands and knees and cradled to the door. More and more smoke filled my room. I was coughing badly. I felt myself getting woozy and tired. I collapsed on my back on the ground and my eyes fell closed. The last thing I heard were police sirens..

-Zayn's P.O.V-

I tapped my foot under my desk, staring at the clock. It was 4th period. Maths. I had this with Liam, Niall, Louis, Harry, and Ali. Ali wasn't in any of the classes before, and I'm starting to get worried. She never missed school, unless she was sick.

Suddenly the door opened. Mr. Fitz (See what I did there? No? Okay.) stopped teaching and looked at whoever disturbed his class. Ali's Mum, Claire, walked in. She looked sad. Wait, why was Ali's Mum here?

"May I help you?" Mr. Fitz asked.

"I'm Claire Willow, Ali's Mum." She said, adjusting her black purse on her shoulder.

"What can I do for you Ms. Willow?" He asked.

"Mr. Higgins said I'm allowed to check out Liam, Louis, Niall, Harry, and Zayn." She said. The five of us shared a worried look.

"Of course. Boys, you are excused." He said. I gathered my stuff and stood up. I swung my book bag over my shoulder and walked out of the classroom with the lads. Liam closed the door behind him and we followed Ms. Willow down the hallway.

"Ms. Willow, why wasn't Ali in the first few periods?" Louis asked. She stopped and looked at us.

"I got a phone call today at work. Ali was involved in a fire. The police said they found her unconscious in her room, and that the fire started in front of her room." She said. My eyes widened.

"Is she going to be okay?" I asked, extremely worried. She nodded.

"She's at the hospital, that's why I pulled you out, so you could see her. I already contacted your parents, so they know I pulled you out. I just have one question. Do any of you know why Ali was home instead of at school?" She asked. We all shook our heads.

"Sorry Ms. Willow." Niall said. She sighed.

"Come on, I'll drive you." She said, continuing to walk.

I sat next to Ali's hospital bed. She had a lot of cords hooked up to her. The doctor said she had inhaled a lot of smoke. Her brothers and sister were still at school, or college. Her Mum didn't want her siblings out of school. Ms. Willow stood up.

"I'm going to get something to eat. Do you boys want anything?" She asked, and we all shook our heads. Even Niall. She walked out of the room. We sat in silence for a minute until Liam spoke up.

"I know why she went home." He said softly. My head snapped to look at him.

"What? Why?" Louis asked.

"Well, I don't know what happened, but I found this on the ground around a crushed white rose. She also ran out of the school in tears." He said, and pulled out a small white card. I stood up and walked over to him. I took the card and looked at it.

'A Day Without You Is Like A Day Without Rain.

-Ali.'

"And it was in front of the empty classroom." Liam said. Suddenly everything clicked. I remember Lilly, forcing herself on me, me protesting, a gasp, then footsteps running away. Ali saw Lilly kissing me. And she was going to give me a rose.

"Zayn? Are you okay?" Harry asked.

"I know why she left." I said.

"You do?!" Niall said happily.

"She saw me kissing Lilly Patricks." I said. Suddenly I was up against the wall. Liam held the collar of my shirt.

"What the hell, mate?! Ali loves you, and you go and kiss a cheerleader?!" He yelled I shoved him off me.

"I didn't kiss her. SHE kissed ME." I exclaimed.

"Well because of you Ali is in the hospital." Liam growled. Suddenly all our phones beeped. I paled, and grabbed my phone.

"' I decided to mix up your little theory. Thanks to Zayn, he did the first part for me. Kisses. J.'" Niall said. Just as he finished reading it aloud, Ali coughed. I spun around, to see Ali's eyes open, hand over her mouth.

"Ali!" I exclaimed, running over to her and wrapping her in a hug. I pulled away and sat sat up.

"What happened? Why am I in the hospital?" She asked, confused.

"Well, when you got to school you-"

"I know that part Louis." She cut Louis off with a glare.

"What's the last thing you do remember?" Liam asked.

"A fire. So, that's why I'm in here?" She asked. We nodded.

"Lads, can I talk to Ali in private? Please?" I asked, looking up. Liam looked at me suspiciously, but nodded. They all walked out, and closed the door behind them.

"Ali, I know you saw Lilly and I." I said. She looked down at her lap.

"Look, It's fine if you want to be with someone else, I know I'm nothing special. So-" I cupped her face and smashed my lips onto hers. She immediately responded. Our lips moved in sync. I felt fireworks going off. I pulled away and smiled.

"Lilly kissed me. I would never hurt you like that. And the card and rose you got me was wonderful." I said. She laughed and looked down.

"Sorry I over reacted. I should've stayed and let you explain." She said. I placed my index finger under her chin and lifted her head up.

"Let me see those beautiful eyes." I grinned. She blushed deep red.

"Will you do me the honors of being my girlfriend?" I asked.

"What kind of question is that, Malik? Of course." She pecked my lips. The door opened.

"WOOHOO! GET SOME ZAYN!" Louis screamed really loudly. I blushed and so did Ali. She threw a pillow at him, which he easily ducked. He laughed at her weak throw.

"By the way, are you okay Ali? We never asked you that." Harry asked

"I'm fine. Just tired, s'all." She smiled and laid her head on my shoulder. Louis and Harry began to bicker about something stupid. Liam Zayn and Niall started playing cards while I played with Ali's hair. Suddenly Louis' phone beeped. He picked it up and paled.

"' I have a task for you, Lou. Bring a sharpie and come to the school at midnight. Or else. J'" He said aloud.

Yay! Two chapters in one day! I'll update tomorrow, I'm going to go in my man cave and watch PLL. This chapter was eventful, wasn't it? Hehe, I love drama. Don't you? Do you think Louis will do it?

Enjoy!
