I open my eyes again to see his face. He looks sorry. That doesnt mean he is. "Baby..." he starts. Another tear rolls down my cheek as I bring my hand up to my face to fell where his hand just was. "Get out" I said quietly. "Baby, I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt you" he pleaded. "I SAID GET OUT!" I screamed. He still stood there. "GET OUT!" I yelled again as I started beating at his chest. "You're not listening to me.." he started. "I shouldn't have to! I shouldn't be smacked around just because you can't hold your temper" I said as calm as I could be. "I'll come back after we both have had time to cool down" he said in a sweet voice. "Never come back" I said as he walked out the door and I started crying so hard I could barely breath. I heard a knock on the door. I got up and tried to stop my tears. I opened the door and Zayn stepped forward and hugged me. "I heard your fight what happened?" he said as he pushed me away with his hands on my shoulders. "We..." I started before he cut me off "what happened to your face? Your cheek is all red." "He.." I started before he finally relized what had happened. "That son of a bitch!" he yelled as he looked down the hall the way Tod left. "I'm gunna beat his ass!" he said as he started down the hall way. "No!" I yelled as I ran to catch up with him and tugged on his arm. He turned around with a sad look in his eye. "I don't wanna be alone. What if you don't find him and he comes back. I crossed my arms in front of my chest as another tear rolled down my cheek. "Alyssa.." he said before pulling me in for another hug. I started crying again and my crying slowly got harder and me just stand there in the halls with me in his arms and me crying. "hey, what'd you say we order some take out and watch I'll go buy some ice cream and e can sit and watch movies. I'll stay the night and sleep on the couch just in case he shows up." the last part didnt sound like a question. It was a statement. I looked up and Zayn had a small smile on his face. I hug him again and he swayed me side to side. I giggled. "What would I do without you" I say. "Be a friendless loser" he jokes back. I smile and I go back to my apartment as he left to go get ice cream. I opened my drawer that had all my take out menu's in it and started to pick what I wanted to eat from the chinese restaurant in town. I was circling the food that I wanted when I heard a knock on the door. Wow. That was quick. I open the door expecting to see Zayn but instead I see Tod with a bouquet of flowers. "Alyssa, listen.." "What is there for me to listen to? You didn't mean to hit me? It was an accident? You'll never do it again?" I popped my hip and gave him a sassy look. "I won't" he pleaded and stepped inside. "Did I say you could come in?" I say. "This is my house too" he said sternly. "We are over tod!" I said loud and serious. "The lease is in my name" he said taking another step towards me so I was pinned to the wall. "Come on baby" he said and started kissing my neck. "GET OFF ME" I yelled as I tried to shove him away. "Come on" he said as he reached his hand up my shirt. "GET OFF!" I screamed. He took his hand and hoved it down my pants and I qlenched my eyes shut. All of a sudden I wasn't pinned to the wall any more and I looked over to see Zayn on top of Tod punching him repeatedly. "ZAYN!" I screamed. "Stop please!" I said. He looked over at me with sad eyes again and stopped mid punch with his fist in the air. He got up and left Tod on the floor in pain. HE hugged me close while keeping an eye on Tod to make sure he didn't get up. "You can stay with me. Keep this asshole out of your life" he put his hand on the sole of my back and guided me on my way out.
