I Won't Tell -Zayn Malik Au-

Chapter Fifty Three

~Gabriel's Pov~

"Well, Gabriel your grades and credits are fine. Nothing for you to worry about." My counselor, Ms. Chapman say scrolling on the computer in front of her before her eyes landed on me and my mother sitting in front of her.

"So I'm okay? Does this mean.." I was about to say.

"Yes, dear. You're graduating this year with your senior class. So everything's just fine." Ms. Chapman say with a smile.

"That's wonderful news," My mother spoke up her hand placed on top of mine. "I'm so proud of you, Gabe." She said with smile.

I closed my eyes, feeling of relief came over me. This the news I've been wanting to hear. All this time I've been out of school but I'm still graduating with my class. I've turned in all my work from all my classes on time and I'm graduating. I wasn't going to let this pregnancy or what I'm going through right now get in the way of my studies. My plans of going to college is out of the question, I have a child to raise and I can't think about that right now. After talking with counselor of University of London as soon I've found out about the pregnancy, she told me the doors always open for me or they have online courses, that I thought would be better. I don't think I wouldn't stand leaving my child behind if I were away.

When our meeting was finished, my mother and I shook Ms. Chapman's hand and left the office. We walked down the empty hall on our way out to my mother's car parked out front. I hear faint sounds of classes still going on to my relief. I don't think I was ready to face everyone, there were a few wandering the halls. I feel eyes on me but I didn't look their way, I kept my eyes to the ground.

My mother wrapped her arm around me as we were walking, that way I was clung to her side. "Are you alright, honey?" She asked with concern in her tone.

"Uh, yeah.. sure." I say. That was a lie. I just wanted to get out of this forsaken place before-

"Gabriel!"

I heard my name being called causing both me and my mother to stop in our tracks and turn around just to see who it could be. It was Zayn. "Gabriel," He said my name again making his way over. But my mother turned us both around before he took another step, with her arm still held around me. My heart pumps louder and louder as we walked down the hall. My breaths got heavier as I hear Zayn's thick accent calling after me.

Pamela and Gabriel hurriedly started down the hall not bothering to look back as I continued to call after her. I was not going to let her get away, not until she hear me out. "Gabriel!"

"Stay away, Zayn." Pamela say as they walked out the school doors, as I continued to follow after them.

Before I could reach Gabriel, she was already in the car as her mother shut the door behind her before turning to me with an angry look. "Its enough. You hear me.. enough." She seethe.

"Please, just ... let me talk to her-"

She briefly closed her eyes, raising her hand to silence me. "My daughter doesn't need any more of your crap, you hear me? I don't want to see her upset again. It's enough that I know all your doings have caused her pain."

I sighed feeling nothing but regret for all what I've done. "Pam.. I want to take it all back. I am deeply sorry-"

"If I had known it was you, I would've been pressed charges against you and your friends for all those times you've hurt her. But with Gabriel keeping quiet about all this stopped me from doing so."

I looked down at the ground in regret and closed my eyes. I stayed quiet as she continued. "Now things have changed. So, I'm giving you time to stay the hell away."
