Him.

Chapter 4

Zayn's POV

I wanted to tell her.

So badly.

But I couldn't.

"Are you going tell me what happened or not?" She rushes her words trying to be as quiet as possible.

"Fine!" I give up.

I start explaining to her. Every single detail. All about Tom's messed up plan to get her to some guy. Tom was planning on selling her. I wish I could do something, but I couldn't. All I could do was keep an eye on Brianna and make sure of her safety.

So I promised myself to do all I could to keep the girl I love safe.

After I explained everything, she was in utter shock. Wide-eyed with her mouth hanging shocked. I shook her "Brianna?"

She was still not moving.

"Bri, it's alright. I'll do everything I can to keep you safe."

Sobs started escaping her mouth. I soon wrap my arms around her. I wanted her to feel safe with me. I wanted her to trust me and let me help her this one time. My embrace seems to calm her down. I start breathing heavily ignoring the lump in my throat. I couldn't help it. Seeing her like this rips my heart into shreds. She has always been strong. Through her tough times; the multiple times her boyfriends cheated on her; she broke down in front of me... always. I was always there for her. I was there to calm her down; to watch her laugh; to give the shoulder for her to cry; to listen to her nightmares when she calls me in the middle of the night.

I was always her best mate. I was there when she had the most horrible breakup right before her finals in high school though she still aced it. And if you're wondering about the high school time..yes, I was there with her since second grade.

During the times I've been there for her and her for me, I never once realised I was falling for her.

I sigh trying to calm myself. I wanted to comfort her but I was weak myself. I've never seen her this down. This fragile. Also if I knew it would affect her this way, I wouldn't have told her.

She mumbles something but I couldn't quite figure it out. "Sorry?" I speak against her hair which smelled of cinnamon. She was an angel. "I'm scared," she frowns. "Shh..everything's going to be okay, baby girl." I assure more to myself than to her. "Oh, I'm sorry," she soon pulls away and looks at my shirt. "It's fine. The shirt is the last thing I give a shit about right now," I smile. Seriously though. She was apologizing for wetting my shirt with her tears. Does that even matter? I don't think so.

We get up from the place we were sat and I wipe off her tears. Even now she was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I know we'd probably get busted if Mrs. Parker finds out we'd been idling for this long. She'd fire us both. I know..she's evil just like her little son. At least she isn't selling girls. That sounded so wrong even in my mind.

I go back to the kitchen which is surprisingly empty. Brianna follows me and gets another tray of cupcakes out of the oven. "Bri?"

"Mhm?"

"I'm trying to help you. You do trust me, don't you?"

"Yeah," she smiled. That smile.

"I've never once liked even when you talk with Tom, you know?"

She nodded.

"Speaking of the devil." I mutter under my breath when I see Tom entering the kitchen. She gives me another nod and a smile and leaves the kitchen with the tray of cupcakes which I had finished icing and decorating.

How's the chapter? Sorry it's short again :/

What do you think of Niall and Barbara? Well my opinion is that if Niall's happy; I'm happy. I mean he's been waiting years and years for his princess and maybe he thinks she's the one. I dunno it's just my opinion #NoHate
