Just like that

Chapter 35

I spun around quickly and gulped when Louis looked at me. "uh..I'll leave you two alone.." I trailed off, walking past Louis and out his bedroom door. Whoops. I really hope it goes ok.

"Zaynnnnnnn!!" I called down the stairs.

"Hayleyyyyyyyyy!" someone yelled in my ear from behind me.

I grabbed my head and turned around, pushing Zayn away from me. "oww! That hurt Zayn" I said quietly, looking at the ground.

"aww baby, I'm sorry" Zayn said, wrapping one arm around my waist and using his other hand to tilt my chin up.

I poked my bottom lip out and went to whinge, but Zayn leant down and grabbed my lip between his teeth, pulling it gently and sucking it into his mouth. I gasped slightly and my eyes went wide.

"well..that was..not here" I stuttered, pulling Zayn upstairs to his bedroom.

"you're a little eager aren't you?" Zayn teased.

"and you are a jerk because you know what that does to me" I mumbled against his lips, unbuttoning his shirt and taking it off.

"you got that right babe, and I definitely don't regret knowing" Zayn grinned, taking my shirt off, backing me to the bed and laying me down.

He hovered over the top of me for a few seconds, his eyes roaming my stomach as a bulge slowly formed in his jeans.

"damn, babe. You been working out?" he muttered, licking his lips as he leant down and pressed them to my neck, sucking gently.

"only when I'm with you" I told him, tangling my hands through his hair.

"you're so ho-" Zayn started, but was cut off.

"Zayn have-OH MY GOD!! SERIOUSLY?! NOT AGAIN!! What have I done wrong?!" Josh screamed, walking back out of the room whinging and rubbing his eyes.

Zayn was off me as soon as the door had opened, and we both cracked up laughing.

"Zayn, we really need a lock" I chuckled.

"or he just needs to learn how to knock. You'd think he likes seeing this!" Zayn said, cracking a grin.

That was when I remembered my wrists, and Zayn seemed to see them at the same time as me. I'd managed to hide it from him until now, and it sucked because they were almost gone, only faint at the moment.

Whenever I got even a slight bruise, it took a long time to go away, so these took even longer.

"Hayley what the fuck?! What is that!" I tried to pull my arms away and hide them behind my back, but Zayn caught them and pulled me closer to him.

He touched one of the bruises and I looked away as I flinched. "who did this?" he asked quietly, desperation covering his face as he looked up at me.

"it doesn't matter, I'm fi-"

"don't you dare say you're fine! Who did it?!" Zayn growled, turning my head so I was looking at him.

"please, Zayn. I can't tell you" I begged, trying to pull away from him, but instead he pulled me into his chest.

"yes you can baby, no one can hurt you" he tried to soothe me.

"but they can hurt you" I whispered, a tear running down my cheek. Zayn went to say something, but hesitated. "what?" I asked, looking up at him.

"it wasn't Jake, was it" he said.

He wasn't asking, he was stating a fact. And that kind of scared me, because if he knew it wasn't Jake, he probably knew who it really was.

"n-no, it wasn't" I confirmed.

"so it was Dustin" he said angrily, his whole body tensing up. I gulped, and pushed away from him, getting up and grabbing my shirt off the floor. "damn it, Hayley! Why didn't you tell me!" Zayn all but yelled, getting up and walking over to me as I finished putting my shirt on.

He spun me around by my shoulders quickly and I looked up at him. "I couldn't! He said if I did, I'd regret it! You know he scares the shit out of me! I didn't know what to do" I said, bringing my hands up to my face and crying.

Zayn sighed and wrapped his arms around me, sitting his chin on my shoulder and playing with my hair.

"Jesus, baby we've been through this! I don't care if I get hurt! Just as long as you're safe, I'd do anything to protect you and you know that. Now how bout you tell me what happened?" Zayn assured me, walking over to the bed with me and sitting down, pulling me onto his lap.

So I did. I told him everything that had happened after Jake left. "I wish I could kill him. I really do" Zayn growled when I finished.

"I know you do" I whispered.

"he needs to be locked up Hayley, or get some help. He honestly isn't right in the head" Zayn sighed, laying his head on my shoulder and bringing my hand up to his mouth so he could kiss it.

"I know that to. Do you want to go downstairs? See how Josh is doing" I grinned, picturing the look on his face when he walked in and saw us. Zayn chuckled.

"sure, I could use some entertainment. Although, I'm sure you would do a better job at that" he suggested, wiggling his eyebrows.

I laughed and pushed him off me, getting up and walking to the door. "later" I told him.

"aww come on babe! Please!" he whined.

I just smiled and shook my head, shutting the door when I got in the hallway. I heard Zayn call out to me as I headed towards the stairs, and ran when I heard the door open.

"noooo!" I yelled, bolting down the stairs and eventually reaching the loungeroom and jumping behind Lil who was standing in the middle of the room looking lost. When I got behind her, she didn't move, but I could only imagine the look on her face.

"Lil, don't move. I'm hiding from Zayn" I whispered in her ear, as if he wouldn't be able to find me there. When Lil didn't respond, I spoke again.

"what's wrong with you?"

"I-I just walked in, on Eliza giving Niall a head job". I couldn't take it. I burst out laughing and fell on the floor, dragging Lil down with me.

"ahhh!!" we both screamed as Zayn came running into the room and jumped on us yelling

"sandwich pile!"

Sandwich pile? Really?

"ow! Damn Zayn!" Lil yelled as I tried to clutch my ribs.

"oh my god I think I just died" I got out, trying to get my breath back.

Zayn rolled off us and Lil stood up, but I just laid on the ground. Stuff like this happened daily, I mean, my life was so..colorful. That's a good word for it. But guess what?

I wouldn't trade it for anything.
