Zayn's POV:

"Her name was Emily..."

Flashbacks

"So, why did he hit you yesterday?" I asked Emily, my best friend, she lives next door and we were walking back from school. Yesterday, I heard her father shouting and hitting her and today she came to school with a blue eye. She always shows up at school with new injuries and sometimes she doesn't come at all. Her father beats her all the time for no reason. He beats her mother and small sisters too.

"I don't even know! can you believe that?" she chuckled and threw her hands in the air, causing me to laugh. she always do that; she never stop joking and laughing even when she's hurt. The smile never leaves her face, she smile even throught her tears. That smile she has makes everything better, it hides a lot in pain in it but she never shows it, she holds her tears strongly inside her and never breaks in front of anyone but me.

"So he just hit you?" I asked again.

"Yes! I mean.. no, he was beating Kelly and I came to defend her but he started hitting me instead of her." she frowned and I felt a hitch in my throat,. She's my best friend, we grew up together, we did almost everything together. and seeing her getting beaten everyday and not being able to do anything was killing me.

"I thought about coming and help you after I heard you screaming .."

"No don't do that.. do you remember what happened last time you tried to help me?" she said and I remembered, that day I heard her screaming so loudly and I couldn't hold it anymore, I went to her home and opened the door, I saw her father hiting her and her mother trying despretly to pull him away, I walked to his direction and grabbed him by his shirt trying to shove him away, I was so small and he was much bigger than me so my attempts to pull him away came as nothing comparing to his muscled body, he punched me hard on the face before holding me from my jacket and throwing me outside the house and locking the door, I heard Emily screaming even harder than before, I knocked so hard on the door and shouted loudly but no one opened, I screamd and cried on the door frame but he didn't stop, I broke down in tears until my mother came and leand next to me "let's go home.." she said softly and I whipped my tears and went back with my mother to our home, I locked myself in my room and cried to my pilow while hearing Emily screaming and crying..

I tried to shock the bad memory out from my head, "Yeah.. right, I'm sorry for that day.."

"don't be Zayn!! I told you,, I have to thank you for trying to help me" she smiled to me and  I shrugged "but I didn't, he ended up beating you even harder!"

"Zayn' it's already over! it's not like he treats me better in the other days.." she said and looked at the ground, I put my hand around her shoulder and pulled her closer "You know? I'll make it up for you.. I'll do whatever you want, just call for it.." I said as I kissed her cheek.

"but why? you didn't do anything wrong!" she said and I rolled my eyes

"EMMY! I'm giving you the chance to order whatever you want from me! what do you need better than that!" I said and she giggled "okay okay.. let me think about it.. this is a great opportunity you know?" she said causing me to laugh

she stopped walking and thought about it for a minute before smiling and looking back at me, "I've never watched a movie before... I've never been in a cinema, I wonder how it feels.." she said and I smiled back to her "so? that's it? you want to watch a movie?"
