He's Not Afraid

Chapter 6

Everybody is gonna know about me and Zayn. What are they gonna do? I hope Zayn doesn't get hurt even more. I went to the bathroom, Jason, my younger brother was brushing his teeth. "So... you guys are a thing now?" "Yeah" "Nice job brotha, I'm impressed" I laughed. I went downstairs and got into my car. It finally worked again!

Zayn and I arrived at the same time. He parked his car next to mine and got out. We walked into the schoolbuilding togheter. Everybody was watching us and I didn't feel good. "Don't worry Harry, they're just jealous of me, they're not gonna do anything" "Mhm, I think they're more jalous of me" He squeezed my shoulder giving me a side hug. "Are you still hurt?" "Nah, as long as I take my painkillers I'm not hurt" he smiled at me. "I feel bad for you, it's kinda...my fault" "No it's not, Harry! He stood in front of me "It's James and Arthurs fault!" He hugged me, everybody watched. "I know you don't like it when people stare at you, it's just big news today, tomorrow they will all calm down, I promise" "I hope so, Zayn"

We were walking trought the hallway. Liam, Niall and Louis joined us. Then we passed James and Arthur with some more guys I didn't know. "Hey faggot" James said. Zayn stopped walking. "Stop calling him faggot!!" he screamed Everybody was staring at us, they all had this look on there face, they kinda looked like they had compassion. "What are you gonna do about it, Zayn?" Zayn grabbed his shirt and pushed him against the lockers. He lifed him up so his feed didn't touch the ground anymore. "Shut the f*ck up, James!!!" James didn't know what to say, he was kinda scared but didn't want to admit it, I think. "Just leave him, Zayn, he's not worth it" Louis said. Zayn let go of James who felt on the floor. He walked back to us and then we walked away.

School was over, I was walking to my car. Then I heard voices behind me. James, Arthur and 5 other guys were standing in front of me. James grabbed my shirt en pushed me against the car. Everyone watched me with compassion. Yet they didn't do anything. "You're screwing up Zayn, faggot!" He punched me in the face, it hurt really bad. Arthur kicked my in the stomach. "Stop!" I screamed. "There is nobody who's gonna stop me, curly" He threw me on the ground and started kicking me in the stomach. Everyone was watching. Then some people who were watching came up to us and started pulling James and his gang away. The kicking finally stopped and the guys who helped me kneeled in front of me. "Are you ok?" "N-no..."

The principal and some teachers saw what happened and were walking hurrily to us. They grabbed James and his friends and leaderd them to the principals office. Then some teachers came to me and helped me up. They supported me to his office.

I was sitting in the principal's office with James, Arthur and some other dudes. They called Zayn over. He came in worried "W-What happened?!" He saw me sitting on a chair in pain with my arms around my stomach. "What did you do to him, James?!!!" he screamed. "Calm down, Zayn" the principal said. Zayn ran up to me and hugged me tight. "I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you, babe" he whispered. "It's okay" I whispered back. "We are aware of the things that just happened. James, you like to beat Harry and Zayn up?" "They deserve it" "How can that possible be?" "They're faggots sir, they're gay" "And there is something wrong with being gay?" "Yeah!" "I don't think so James!" James sighed. "Well, I called you're parents they'll be right here." "What?!" James yelled "Why MY parents?" "Everyones parents, James. This needs to stop!"

Zayn had a worried look on his face. "What's wrong?" I whispered. "M-my dad... h-he doesn't k-" "Oh...Don't worry, it's gonna be okay" "No it's not, my dad is gonna kill me." The principal listened to what Zayn said to me. "Don't worry Zayn, we will talk to them first" "Thanks".

I was still in a lot of pain, my stomach hurt so bad. I had my arms wrapped around me stomach the whole time. Zayn was rubbing circles on my back. "Here" the nurse said "Take this honey, it will help". She handed me a painkiller and a glass of water. "Thanks".

After a while our parents came in. James suddenly got a lot more quiet. The principal explaned what happened and my mom came up to me worried. She hugged me. "Are you ok, sweety?" "Yeah.." I said. James dad was yelling at him and the other boys got yelled at too. Then there was Zayn's dad. He looked at Zayn, not really knowing how to respond. They stood there for a minute and then Zayns dad hugged him "It's ok son, it's okay" I smiled at Zayn and mouthed 'told ya'.
