Chapter 5;

-Zayn-

"My mum told me to come get you for dinner." I heard from the doorway, I automatically knew who it was - then again who else could it be? I turned to see Niall with his tattooed arms crossed over his chest.

"M'not hungry" I whispered as I stood up and walked out the door.

"You didn't eat at lunch." He stated. I stopped walking, my heart beating rapidly for some reason. In a way I felt as if I was an animal and I was his prey, ready to be bitten and eaten. Had he been starring back at me? "Skipping will just make you weak, not that you aren't already." He mumbled the last bit. I turned around angrily and pushed him up against the wall.

"You don't know me!" With that I ran down the stairs and out the front door, down to the dock ; only reason I knew were it was - was because we had passed on the way to school.

As I stepped closer to the dock I could see four figures there smoking. "You made it." One of them said without even turning around.

"Yeah." I replied.

"Didnt think you would."

"Wasnt planning to." I said honestly. They all turned around at the same time, it was a bit wierd, its as if they had practiced for many years.

"I like you." He said smiling and blowing some smoke. Was this guy always smoking? I mean what's so good about smoking? "You want one?" He said holding up a pack of fags.

"Um."

"Oh come on, I know you're dying to try it." I sighed before taking one. He lit up and I put in my mouth. Taking a long drag which was a mistake because I chocked on the smoke. They all laughed.

"What do you guys do around here?"

"Smoke and walk."

"Walk?"

"Yeah see those railroad tracks down there?" He said pointing to indeed railroad tracks.

"Yeah."

"It's nice, we like to walk on it."

"Why?" He shrugged. "Come on lets take a little walk." He started walking towards it, I of course following. I looked around, there wasnt really anything special to it.

"Soo." I started. I was about to open my mouth again but I was being grabbed and thrown to the floor. I moaned in pain as I felt my elbow hit a bolt.

"Look boy" he threw his fag to the floor. "I don't know who you're trying to fool with the bad boy act but I can see right through it. It's not you doing it on purpose. It's accidental, and you weren't sticking for someone, you were sticking up for your self." but i was standing up for Liam?

"How would you know." I said causing someone to kick my side. My body jolting up a bit.

He crouched down so that he was face to face with me. "Do us all a favour and go back to America. Nobody wants you here." He slapped my cheek gently. "But since I know you wont go, better get used it." He stood up and smiled. "He's all yours boys."

The next ten mintues consisted of kicks and punches. I even thought that I was going to die for a moment. When they left I just layed there on the tracks. Maybe the train would come by. Nobody wants me here, and obviously no one wants me in Chicago.

To my luck I heard the loud rattling of the train coming towards me. I didnt bother moving just layed there like a rag doll. The train whistled and whislted and I knew it was because it had seen me.

Moments later there was hands under my arms pulling me out of the tracks right before the train could pass but I didn't notice who it was, I was to in a daze to even notice. "Are you crazy?" The voice said. "You couldve gotten killed."

"S'what If I wanted to." I said not caring who it was.

"Don't say that." The voice whispered. I closed my eyes hoping id never wake up.

~*~

My eyes pealed open. Arms were around me like the night before and the lamp on the side was on. I stared at the pale arms around me, just below where the arms were - were ugly purple bruises. Just then did I notice someone had undressed me. "You're awake." An Irish voice said.

"Yeah." I said softly. I was about to get up but his arms tightened a bit more on me. "You're not going anywhere, your to damaged to even stand, I had to carry you here."

"You were the one who pulled me off the tracks?" I said a bit angrily. I forced his arms away from me and did my best at standing up.

"Yeah, I mean you wanted to kill yourself what else was I supposed to do? Let you die?"

"Yes!" I said as if were the most obvious thing in the world.

"Even though I hate you and vice versa I wouldn't of let you died."

"Well I wish you would've. Then maybe you wouldn't have to deal with me." I spotted my clothes on the floor and put them on quickly.

"Where you going? You gonna go try to kill yourself again?" I didnt even turn to look at him.

"If I were to try again, you'd be the last person Id tell." I walked towards the door.

"For what it's worth, I'd do it again, and a thousand times over." I could feel tears brimming my eyes but didnt say anything else. I walked down the stairs and out the back door. I sat on the cold cement floor.

"Everything alright sweety?" I looked up to ms. Horan. She sighed. "You know I've never seen Niall so scared till today." I looked at her strangely.

"I'm sorry?"

"Niall came running into the house with you in his arms. you were bloody and passed out." I gave a small scoff. "You must miss home." She said changing the subject. All though I was greatful it wasn't a subject I wanted to talk about.

"Not really."

"Why not?"

"Not much to miss." I said emphazing the to. She nodded understandingly.

"Made any friends yet?"

"If you count you as one?" She chuckled.

"Course." She smiled happily. "You should get to bed, it's midnight." I stood up and slowly made my way to Nialls and my room.

I crawled into bed, immediately feeling arms being wrapped around me. For a moment I felt safe, but then thoughts started to make an appearance in my head and I just wanted to scream. "Sleep" he mumbled.

"Okay." Was all I said before drifting off, somewhat peacefully.
