The secret side of me

Chapter 7

Chapter 7~ Layla's pov

We hung out almost all day and I almost had forgotten that Niall was there untill heard him yawn loudly. Just by looking at him you could tell he felt out of place like he knew he shouldn't be here nor did he want to be. It was almost funny how obviously intimidating all this is to him. He hasn't said anything the whole time we were here. It looked like he was deep in thought. Or at mental war with himself. I guess we should go I probably would stay all night planning for whats going to happen in a few days but now I can't so I guess I should take him back to my house.

"Hey you guys we're going to go back to the house." I said standing up. Zach got up and stood infront of me so we couldn't leave.

"Wait what do you mean we." He asked looking at the both of us. "He's not staying with us."

"Zach you know I can't leave him alone." I say while sighing.

"Then leave him here with the rest of us." He said. I thought about it then looked over at every one in the room smirking evily.

"Zach I don't think thats any better than leaving him alone I mean look at them." I said pointing to the room."They are already planning his death in there head." I say with a chuckle.

"Fine but I'm coming." He said stubbornly "He's not going to hurt you when I'm not there."

"Zach stop you don't have to you have stuff to do here still." I say. I moved a little closer and whispered. "And lets be honest now that he knows I won't hesitate to put him in a coma. Actually I find it insulting that you think I won't defend myself." He chuckled lowly and looked up at him then me.

"Fine." He said with a sigh. I nodded and waved at everyone else walking out followed closely by Niall. When we got in the car I saw him open his mouth to talk but then closed it looking down. I smirked at how nervous he suddenly was around me. He looked back up at me.

"Listen Layla, I need you to know that I never wanted to do those things to you and I feel horrible about it. I was stupid for being the way I was. I should have never became friends with them and I should have never done those horrible things to you. I will always regret it and don't expect you to forgive me I know I wouldn't but if you do I will make it up to you in every way posssible. I swear, please." He said pleading. I sat there not looking off the road as I drove away. I looked him in the eyes as we stopped at a stop light. I spoke while I rubbed my thumb over the many scars on my wrist.

"I can forgive but I can never forget." I said. Just thinking of the memories of before I was in, when I was weak and young made tears well up in my eyes. I looked back up and started to drive again."Now no talking" I said before he could say anything or before the first tear could fall.
