Don't Get Hurt (Zayn Malik)

Chapter 8 - "Louis?"

AN - I know it's literally been forever since I updated and that this is a really short chapter anyway. I've just been mega lazy with this. Hopefully I'll update again soon but lets face it, it's unlikely to happen. Anyway I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Aime’s P.O.V

We had officially been a couple now for 2 weeks and I knew we had to tell Louis. Being his sister I also knew he was going to flip out, at the fact that I had a boyfriend in the first place and even more when he found out that it was Zayn. That was why neither of us had told him. I guess we couldn’t really keep it hidden though.

Louis had 2 weeks off so was coming home for a bit. I had planned that I was going to tell him when he was nowhere near Zayn so nothing could happen between them. If Zayn was the one that told him then I’m scared to think what would happen. He had always been overprotective of me since I was bullied when I was younger and he once beat one of them up after he saw them kicking me. That was always a secret between him and me so he never got in trouble for it because the bullies were too scared to say anything and they were too scared to come near me as well. That’s why I had to tell him by myself. I couldn’t bear the thought of Zayn getting hurt and knowing that it was my fault, because of my brother, because I decided to fall in love with him.

“Louis?” I said to get his attention as we sat together on the sofa one night, when everyone else was asleep, watching a film.

“Yeah?” He said while playing with the ends of my hair and turning to face me. I stayed silent for a moment, not sure what to say anymore. I had planned it out in my head hundreds of different ways.

“Igotaboyfriend” I blurted out quickly. I felt his body stiffen up a little before he sat up slightly and turned his body so we were facing each other. Now he was the one staying silent. Obviously trying to figure out what to say about that.

“Who?” He asked simply and I looked down a little. I took a deep breath knowing there was no going back now.

“Zayn” I whispered, hardly audible. He looked at me a little confused.

“Who?” He asked again, thinking he had heard me wrong. I repeated myself, a tiny bit louder and he just sat there staring at me in shock. After a few minutes of silence he just shook his head. “Who is it really?” He asked not wanting to believe that I was telling the truth.

“I wasn’t lying” I said finally looking back up at him and  he was in shock.

“So… you and… and Zayn” He stuttered out trying to tell himself it was the truth. “How long?” He asked after about a minute.

“2 weeks” I said, honestly surprised that he wasn’t mad. He just nodded a little.

“If he ever does anything to you I swea-” he said before I cut him off.

“He won’t, you probably know him better than I do and that means you should know he wouldn’t do that” I said and he nodded.

“I know, you’re still my baby sister though,” He said making me groan and roll my eyes before he started laughing and just like that things were back to normal between us – I just hoped they still would be between him and Zayn.
