This isn't real {Zayn Malik}

Drive safe!

The next day I woke up, and I wasn't feeling the greatest. Luckily today was thursday so I didn't have volleyball practice. I hopped in the shower, then got out and threw on some sweats and a tie dye tee shirt. I could tell I looked horrible but I didn't care. As I laced up my old black Vans, and threw my hair up in a bun I heard the front door open. I walked out of my room, unaware of who was here. It was my mom. I haven't seen her in almost two weeks. She looked so happy when she saw me, and automatically gave me a hug.

"Layla. Are you okay?" she asked looking down at what I was wearing.

"Yeah. Just tired." I wasn't even in the mood, so I grabbed my bag and my phone and headed out the door giving her a quick "bye" as I left.

I pulled into the parking lot at school, noticing Zayn with the guys once again. He noticed my car but barley looked up, which I didn't mind since I felt horrible. As I got out of my car, grabbing my bag I felt a hand on my lower back. I quickly turned around to notice Zayn, who looked a bit guilty.

"Hey..." he said.

I just stood there unaware of what to say.

"I want to explain myself better for yesterday. I was tired and now I just feel horrible. I was with my cousin Sammy who was helping me pick out a birthday present for you."

How did Zayn know my birthday was coming up on Saturday? I had never told him. Did he pick up on it from past years of high school? Liam. Liam told him!

"Oh. Its cool I never second guessed you." which was a complete lie but I wasn't about to start something bigger.

He smiled and hugged me, and took my hand in his. We walked away from my car and into the school. It seemed as even though everyone had already seen me and Zayn together, they were still shocked. We both chuckled as we saw peoples expressions.

The school day went by fast, or maybe it was just me. I had been coughing and sneezing all day, and my throat hurt. Zayn kept asking if I was okay, and I just nodded. He offered to take me home, and I agreed which meant he would have to pick me up since we were leaving my car at school.

He pulled up to my house, this time I noticed my mom and dad were home. Great. Once again Zayn walked my to my door, and waited until I was safe inside. We hugged and just like that I was inside, and he was now driving away.

"Who was that" my dad asked

"Zayn. My boyfriend..."

"Layla you have a boyfriend!? Since when?!" my mom joyfully asked.

"A couple weeks." It had only been a month since school started.

My father just groaned and went to his room and my mom followed him. My mom wasn't my issue, my dad was. He was never happy, always yelling at me, or acting like this. I despised him and have since I was little. He was always ruining vacations, dinner, and time all of us had. And he never ever EVER shut up about my grades, even though they were all A's with an occasional B.

My parents and I went the rest of the night without talking, which I liked. I texted Zayn most of the time and even with a few calls here and there. Just hearing his voice made me feel a bit better. Before I knew it, it was already 12:57. I had to get some sleep. I told Zayn goodnight and he replied with

Goodnight beautiful. I love you.

My heart starting beating so fast I thought it was going to pop out of my chest.

I love you too Zayn.

And with that, I fell asleep almost instantly. He loved me. And I had made up my mind, I loved him too.

The next morning I woke up, now feeling like someone was hammering nails into my temples and like I had swallowed razor blades. I didn't feel like going to school, so just like that I didn't. My parents weren't home so why should they care? I texted Zayn saying I would miss today. No respond. I got up and got a granola bar and a glass of soda. Both made me wince in pain when they hit my throat, but I continued drinking and eating. I heard a car noise from outside and saw my Zayns' car. I walked outside and saw Zayn and Louis. Zayn held medicine and some candy as he walked up to me hugging me.

"I was thinking I'll stay with you, and Louis can go get your car for you?"

I nodded, and led them both inside. I handed Louis my keys and as he walked out the door I yelled

"DRIVE SAFE!!"

He chucked and turned around

"I always do." he said smiling before leaving.

Now it was just me and Zayn. I sat on the couch and he came over and sat next to me. He grabbed my by my waist and pulled me closer to me, while holding my hand and using the other to run through my hair. I could feel myself drifting to sleep on the side of his chest where I now lay. I could feel him breathing and could tell he was looking at me, but I didn't mind. Before I knew it, I was asleep.

I woke up to Zayn carrying me to my room.

"Did they get my car?" I asked drowsily

"Yeah. Louis dropped it off and Harry, Niall, and Liam followed him."

"Thats good.."

I was drifting to sleep again but now I was in my bed. Zayn was sitting next to me, brushing the hair our of my face. He smiled as I grabbed his arm. I just wanted to hold it until I fell asleep. To make things even better Zayn laid next to me. I cuddled up to his chest where he wrapped his muscular arms around me smiling.

"Go to sleep beautiful. I'm not gonna go anywhere, promise." He whispered before kissing my head.

I nodded and started to fall asleep. Nothing could ruin this moment. It was like a movie. Right before my eyes shut heavily I heard my phone go off. Zayn passed it to me. It was a text from my mom.

'Me and your father are going to your aunts for the night. She needs help with the new house. Love you lots. Call if you need anything'

' I stayed home from school. Super sick. But okay have fun. Love you mom.'

'Oh okay. I'll be home tomorrow morning. Feel better baby girl'

I smiled as I showed Zayn the texts. Now he didn't have to worry about being caught by my dad. He nodded and insisted I go to bed. I agreed and just like that I was asleep in his arms.
