Dangerously Seductive (a Zayn Malik fanfiction).

Chapter 5

Alex has been calling and texting my phone continuously since the party and I had finally decided to speak with him. On the drive back from Zayn's flat, I had texted Alex to meet me back home. I wasn't expecting much, but I felt like he owed me an explanation atleast.

After a long shower I waited for Alex's arrival. I hoped it would be quick and easy considering Zayn insisted he take me somewhere tonight. I begrudgingly agreed to seeing him, knowing he would have his way regardless of my protests. I just didn't want the two of them running into each other, I had a feeling the ridiculous amount of testosterone flying around between the two would only cause a fight.

I walked into the kitchen deciding to calm my nerves with food.

"Juliet?"

I jumped in surprise not expecting another person to be in here.

"What the hell Alex you scared the shit out of me!" I scolded clutching at my chest.

"Sorry. I'm use to just walking in." he sheepishly smiled. His hazel eyes looked the same, matching his shaggy brown hair. These features I once adored now seeming dull and worthless.

"Well you no longer have the privilege to do that." I stated coldly.

"I know and Juliet I'm really sorry. But I love you! I was drunk and she threw herself at me. Babe you have to understand."

As usual Alex was putting the blame on others. I wasn't going to let him do this again, I wasn't going to let him break me.

"Did she also force you up to an empty bedroom?" I scoffed sarcastically.

"Listen your my girlfriend! And your going to be with me." His anger problems were beginning to show, with the force he held in his voice. Alex had a history of violent behavior, and I was always one to test just how far he would go.

"No! You broke my heart you broke it! I won't let you bully me anymore I'm not scared of you! I won't love you! I could never love someone who didn't even take the time to spare my feelings!"

Each word I spoke I gave a forceful shove to his chest. I let out my aggression with hard hits pushing him against the wall.

Alex grabbed my hands restricting my arms. I desperately fought to free myself from his progressively tightening grip.

"What did I say! Your going to be with me."

"I'm not scared of you anymore! I won't let you bully me!" The way my voice cracked lessened the intensity of my demand.

"We're going to be together and that's that."

He smirked victoriously, thinking he had won, but I was no longer driven by fear. I am finally away from the boy I once thought I loved. He is now just angry and bitter, but most of all he's alone and I'm free.

"I won't be with a cheating pig like you!" I spat.

Alex raised his hand and brought it down reddening my cheek. The force jerked my head, distracting me as he let go of my wrist dropping me to the cold tiles. He watched as I crumpled to the floor in defeat.

"Still not afraid princess?" He smiled menacingly as I brought my hand up to my cheeks feeling over what was bound to become a bruise.

"You should be."

Without another word he left. Leaving me in tears on the kitchen floor. It wasn't the first time he had hit me, this was a secret I had kept. I convinced myself to stay with him because I loved him, but I soon realized it wasn't love at all. It was a relationship driven by fear.

I quickly got to my feet rushing to the restroom to cover the inevitable bruise. It was something I had become quite accustom to. I scrambled through the drawers in search of foundation, only to find the empty bottle. And to make matters worse I heard knocking coming from my front door. I knew it was Zayn. I now had to quickly conjure up a reason as to why I couldn't go out. Zayn was not one to take no as an answer, so my lying skills I had acquired over the years would have to be put in play.

I slowly opened the door strategically showing only part of my face.

"Hello gorgeous." His flirtatious smile spread across his face.

"Um hi. Zayn I can't go out tonight." My words came out rushed and pathetic. All intentions of lying were thrown out the window.

"Why not?"

"I don't really feel well." I hadn't meant for it to sound like a question but it did.

"Why are you hiding behind the door, is someone else here?" His temper was rising, clearly annoyed with my lack of agreement.

"I just can't go out! Please leave!" I quickly closed the door, knowing my pathetic lie was not going to work.

Zayn opened up the door himself advancing towards me. His whole body was tense. As I looked up at him in fear I swiftly stepped back until I hit the wall behind me, each step back a step forward for him.

"What's going on?" His voice held no amusement as he towered over me.

I tried my best at hiding the the fresh mark made only moments prier to Zayn's arrival.

"Zayn please just leave!"

He pried my hands away from my face, wiping the falling tears. I winced slightly as he brushed my right cheek. He tilted my head to the side revealing the fresh mark.

"What happened?" His voice was cold.

"A-Alex h-h-hit me." I stuttered out.

"Where is he?"

"I don't know he just left."

"I'm going to keep you safe, from now on your my problem."

"No! I won't let someone else control me! I don't need help I've been handling it for years!" I pushed Zayn off of me.

"I'm trying to protect you! Look I know I'm the bad guy. I get into fights all the time and I'm involved in shit I can't tell you about, but I want to protect you. Now, where did he go?"

I was grateful that he was trying to protect me, but I didn't ask for help and I didn't want it. I was tired of being helpless and I refused to let someone else make me feel so incompetent again.

"I don't know he just left, but it doesn't matter. We're dropping this right now. Just take me somewhere Zayn, please, just take me somewhere."

"I'm going to find him."

"No, were leaving lets go." I wiped away any remaining tears, regaining my faltered composure. The weak smile currently playing on my lips was unconvincing, but Zayn agreed taking my hand in his leading me out the door to anywhere but here.
