Jenna's POV

"I know your secret..."

Hearing those words rolling out of Zayn's tongue, made my heart drop. I didn't know what secret he knew, but it was like living my nightmare. Zayn finding out and dumb me. And I was right....

"What....What secret?" I shattered.

Zayn came closer to me and looked me dead in the eyes. A weak smile playing on his lips. His index finger flew to my hair and slightly stroked it. He brought my tiny figure closer to his body, snuggling further to me and I buried my head to his chest.

"I know. I know." He mumbled to my hair and I snaked my arms around his torso, smelling his perfume.

"Jenna." He grabbed me by my shoulders, making me face him. "Your sister told me that you were self-harming."

I was right! I was living my worst nightmare!

"She...she told you?" I shattered, lowering my gaze.

"Don't! You're strong! You made it! Unlike me..." He mumbled the last part.

"You can do it too, baby! You know you can!" I cupped his face with my cold hands.

He flashed me a weak ironicaly smile and rested his forehead on mine.

"Help me!" He whispered. His breath hit my lips.

I said nothing. I couldn't say anything! My eyes flickered from his chestnut eyes to his plump lips. I slowly moved closer and I connected my lips with his, immidiately closing my eyes. When I was kissing him, I was feeling like nothing matters. It's only me and him. Like, the whole world belongs to us! I'm dreaming about us! But then something happens and all my dreams fall apart.

 "I will." 

"Promise?"

"Promise!"

Zayn's POV

The whole driveway was silent and you could feel the awkwardness in the air. After we dropped Christie on her hotel, I decided to surprise Jenna and take her to the most peacefull place I know: the lake.

"Where are we going, Zayn?" She smiled to me. That smile that brightens up my shittest day.

"Remember the last time I took you to my favourite place?" I chuckled, keeping my eyes glued to the road.

"We're going to the lake again?" She squealed and clapped her hands, like a little child.

"Yeah...But if you don't want to..." I joked.

"Keep drivin, Malik!" Her expression turned serious.

"Yes Ma'am!" I obeyed causing her to gigle a little.

****** ********* ************* ********************* **************************************** *************************

"I might love this place, but I have to admit it! It's a little bit creepy here at night." Jenna took a good look around.

"Don't worry, babe! I'm here! If any sick, drunk bastard try to hurt you I'll kill him!"

"Yeah, Superman!" She rolled her eyes.

"I might not be a Superman, but I'm your hero. Right?" I fakely pouted. 

"I guess..." She blew me a kiss.

I smiled and then I turned my gaze, staring to the lake and the reflection of the moon in the dark water. Silence. What a feeling! Only hearing your heart beating. Slowly and steady. Hearing the breath of the one you love next to you. If I could stop the time and reliving this moment over and over again, I would do it! I'm tired of all the drama. I'm tired of harming my self. I'm tired of pretending that I'm happy and all. I'm tired of covering my wrists, just to hide my scars from people. I'm tired of...all.

"Jenna?" I broke the silence.

"Hmhmm..." She hummed with her eyes closed and her head resting on my shoulder.

"I took a desicion!"

"I want to visit a psychologist. I want to stop cutting."

Jenna lifted her head, looking at me with a big smile on her face.

"Really?" She breathed out.

I nodded.

"Zayn, baby! This is so amazing!" She threw her arms around my neck, pulling me into a bone crushing embrance.

"Jenna!" I laughed as I held her waist.

"I can't breath!" I chuckled, but my words didn't stop her.

"I'm sooooo happy for you, baby!" She placed butterfly kisses to my face and neck.

"You'll see! You're going to make it and I'll always be by your side!"

"I know!" I said and I cupped her cold cheeks with my warm hands.

"Jenna is something I want to tell you a long time ago and I can't find the right time to say it, but I think it is now." I cleared my throat before I speak again. "You mean so much to me. More than you could ever imagine and I know that if I lose you, I'll die! I wasn't the perfect boyfriend, in fact I wasn't even acting like a boyfriend all this time and I know I hurt you countless times, but I need to let you know that...." 

"That..." She looked me with eyes filled with agony.

"I...I love you Jenna!"

Her jaw dropped open and her eyes fluttered. I chuckled a little and then I took the opportunity to kiss her passionetly in her soft lips. 

I said it! I finally did!

I held her tight in my arms and we stayed like this, staring at the moon, lost in our thoughts. I leaned to her ear and I began softly singing to her....

My hands, your hands,
Tied up like two ships.
Drifting, weightless,
Waves try to break it.
I'd do anything to save it,
Why is it so hard to save it ?

.....................

So baby, hold on, to my heart,
Need you to keep me from falling apart,
I'll always hold on,
Cause you make me strong.
