This specific one-shot mentions abuse so read with caution

Zendaya was thrown on the bed by her boyfriend "I know you're cheating on me!" He yelled

"I-I'm not! I swear" A hand collided with her face "Don't lie!"

Zendaya touched the side of her face with her hand "I'm not! I would never-"

"Then why were you talking with that Tom guy" At this point Zendaya was angry. Her boyfriend had been snooping through her phone.

She stood up "You have no right to look through my phone!" That resulted in another slap in the face which followed by being pushed to the floor

Her boyfriend hovered over her "Fine! If you want to be a slut then so be it! I'm done" Zendaya was kicked in the side

Her door opened and slammed shut. A few minutes later she heard a car engine started up. He was gone.

Zendaya started to cry. She felt like she was going to throw up.

Zendaya laid on the floor for a few minutes until finally getting up. She went into the bathroom and looked at the bruise on her face.

She touched it and flinched "Fuck..."
She lifted up her shirt and traced her finger over the purple mark

Zendaya had to work tomorrow which means she had to cover up the bruise on her face.

She decided to worry about her face tomorrow and went to bed.

Zendaya walked into the bookstore. Tom looked up at her and smiled.

"Hey,Z!" Zendaya only hummed in response. She didn't feel like talking today. Zendaya clocked in and got to work.

She grabbed the returned books and put them back in there spot. She didn't say anything to Tom which made him worry.

He thought to himself "Did I do something wrong?". Tom had to know so he went over to Z.

"Did I do something?" Zendaya shook her head "Then what's wrong?"

In a barely audible whisper, Zendaya spoke "Nothing..."

"Zendaya you know you can talk to me right?"

Zendaya nodded "Yeah..."

"Then why won't you talk to me?"

"I-I don't know"

"Zendaya whatever is happening-" Tom paused

He just stared closely at her face. He noticed that Zendaya's cheek was swollen.

"W-what are you looking at?" Zendaya's stuttered out

"Sorry...it's just your face...what happened?"

"N-nothing" Tom wasn't buying it. He knew Zendaya and this was not it.

Tom touched Zendaya's cheek and she let out a whimper "Zendaya who did this to you?"

"Erik.." After saying that everything went silent. It was like the whole world had frozen. Tom just stared at her with a shock expression but soon enough that shock turned into anger.

"What?!" Tom stood up and grabbed his coat. Before he had the chance to leave Zendaya grabbed his arm "Please don't" Tom stood there for a moment, deciding on what to do. He decided to stay.

He wrapped his arms around Z "I'm so sorry" Tom pulled away and stared at Zendaya's face "Why didn't you tell me?" Zendaya covered her face with her hands "I-I don't know"

Tom hugged her again. He wouldn't let go until she wanted to. He was going to be there for her and make sure that she would never hurt again.
