Dark - Zayn Malik

chapter 8

Song: sHe - Zayn Malik

Maya s P.O.V

Niall borrowed my journal in class for inspiration and he promised me to give it back at the end of the class. I did not think much of it and handed it to him, completely forgetting it until I'm already out of class after the bell rings.

"Damn it." I mutter and walk back to the classroom only to be interrupted by a stern voice.

"Niall. I do not like Maya Payton what are you even implying?!" He sounded so angry and it shocked me. My books shattered on the ground and my eyes widened.

"shit- I-I am so sorry."

My hands start trembling as I grab my books and my lips quiver. I look up to apologise and walk away as soon as I mutter a few apologies.

It felt very odd that Zayn was staring at me in shock and that Niall had that stupid smirk on his face. It confused me a lot.

I run out of the school, not really in the mood to follow any classes. It's weird how fate works. I always thought that if it happens it happens. But lately I've been doubting myself. What if everything happens for a reason? What if there was a reason for me to hear what Zayn said. What if there was a reason for me meeting Zayn the way I did?

My body drags itself to my favorite cafe and I find myself smiling a little bit when I see a familiar puppy eyes starting to wave as a maniac to me. ot was the best friend of Zayn.  I walk towards him and sit down.

"Hey uhm Liam right?"

Liam gives me a soft smile and nods.

"Yep the one and only. What a coincidence to see you here. Don't you have school?" I shake my head slightly and shrug. 

"Kind of skipped. Wasn't in the mood for it." I mumble and look down.

Liam raises his eyebrows and lets out a sudden high pitched laugh, making me laugh too. Never in my life would I have guessed that he could make such a noise like that.

"You seem like the innocent, good girl type darling, so tell my why you're skipping school."

The words come out without thinking and I dont even realise I'm saying it until after I've done it.

"You should know how messed up school is. Not school itself. It's the people, the teachers who are giving us too much shit and expecting us to be all perfect and mighty. No, I don't want this bullcrap."

My eyes widen at my sudden outburst and I blush hard. "I-I'm sorry- it's just that I'm a bit stressed out I'm usually not like this.." Liam smiles reassuringly and starts talking about his school experience. Listening to him actually calmed me down for a bit.

A couple hours later and a lot of shared laughs later, Liam offered me to give me a ride home but I refused. I really don't want him to find out what's been happening. I look around and realise it's already dark. Liam gives me a quick hug and leaves me alone in the darkness.

My mind tells me to walk as fast as possible to Jessica but my body has obviously other plans. I make my way down to my old house through a short cut. Wrong move.

"Damn darling you sure you're in the right place?" My breath hitches and I walk faster, my mind racing. No fuck no.  "Don't be scared I don't bite.. Hard." He chuckles slightly making me cringe and to my luck keeps following me.

I can hear his footsteps quicken and his dirty hand grabs my arm tightly, making sure to leave a bruise. I turn my body around and swing my free arm,punching the guy straight in his face.He loses his balance and that's when I take my chance to run. I try to run but let out a loud scream when his dirty hand yank on my hair until I fall back.

"Thinking you could escape me? You little fucker. I will show you what happens to naughty little girls like you."

He bends down and puts his weight on top of my body,letting out a low moan.

"I will have so much fun with you. I bet you're still a virgin, aren't you slut?" I shut my eyes, trying to shut off my mind too but it's not working. His hands are rubbing my sides and I feel so dirty. I try to punch kick scream but nothing is working.

His body gets abruptly pulled away from mine but I keep my eyes closed, not wanting to see the next person who wants to do shit.

"Maya get up."

His voice sounds all too familiar. I open one eye and see the old pervert down on the ground with a bloody nose and a deep cut in his lip. Zayn stands above me and looks down at me worriedly.  He helps me up and quickly walks me out of the ally, walking me to his car.

"Oh Maya, are you alright?"

I'm too shocked to say anything so I keep quiet. He opens the car door for me and helps me buckle up before he gets inside.

"Maya why would you walk this late oh my god!" Zayn starts lecturing me about how bad things could happen if he wasn't there and blabla but I already zoned out, not wanting to listen.

"Maya Maya? We're here."

He says and slowly starts to shake me, causing me to turn around abruptly, trying to back away from his grip.

"F-fuck Zayn you scared me.." I mumble and rub my eyes slightly,looking around. "This is not where I need to be though. I want to go home.." My voice trails off.

Home.. Can I still call that place home? I'm not sure. But right now all I know is that if I stay with Zayn it won't be any better.

"You are staying here for tonight. I swear to God if you don't listen or try to get out I will keep you hostage and lock everything." His voice sounded very serious and a bit threatening so I just agreed.

We walk inside and Zayn excuses himself to make a phone call. My mind is racing. I feel so dirty. Maybe I should shower or something. What if Zayn doesn't let me? What if he thinks I'm disgusting?

My thoughts are interrupted by his angelic voice. "Maya let's take you to bed you look tired."

I shake my head and look down. "Can I uhm take a shower?" I whisper, thinking he is going to laugh in my face.

'Yeah of course, let's go."  Zayn leads me to the bathroom and hands me a towel. "I'll come back with some clothes alright? Take your time sweetheart."

And that's what I did. I took my time until my skin was all crinkled from the hot water that is splashing on me. I really did not want to come out and face him.

I let my thoughts wander until I hear someone yelling. As quick as possible I wrap the towel he gave me around me and I walk out the bathroom only to be faced with a blushing Zayn and a very angry but surprised looking Liam.

"Maya? Are you the girl he is shagging? What the fuck we were together like an hour ago how even-" This time it was Zayn's turn to get angry.

"You fucking met her behind my back?! And so what if I'm shagging her. She is a great fuck!"

My eyes widen at his statement and they both look at me with wide eyes as I let out a loud scream, wanting them both out.

"Leave this fucking room! And I'm still a virgin soo shut the fuck up Zayn." I slam the door in front of their faces and lock it, crawling in the bed and not caring for once if it's Zayn's bed.

I know its probably way too short and stuff I an apologizing for not updating earlier please forgive me.
I got a new phone and I'm still trying to understand it aha. Love you all
