Zayn's POV

"Hey Niall come here for a second mate!" I yell.

"Yeah?" He answers with his thick accent.

"I met this girl at the tattoo shop and her boyfriend is a real dick, man. To be honest lad I feel for her. She's so small ya know? She cant do anything. I gave her my number so do you think she'll call?" I say trying to keep from sounding worried

"That sounds pretty bad but I think she'll be okay.

Hell yea I think she'll call you. I mean look at you lad! You're stunning" he pep talks me.

"Thanks Ni." I tell him before patting his back and heading to my room.

Harry, Liam, Louis, and Niall were on their phones and having a shit load of a good time. I feel my ass vibrate and pat my pockets for my phone. I finally find it and the screen lights up with a next from an unknown number. 'Hello zayn."

"Maria" I breathe out

I was relived but as if on que my chest felt heavier. Why is she calling? Is she okay? What did that fucktard do to her?!

My mind was reeling! I run up to my room and slam the door not wanting the boys to hear.

Maria's POV

"Uh..hi."

I say not knowing what else to do. Still wondering what the hell I was aiming at here.

"Maria what's wrong? Are you okay?!" He asks me in a worried tone. Why is he worried? Why the hell does he even care??

"Um..I'm fine" I say trying to cover up the confusion in my voice.

"I swear if that dick did something to you-"

"Why do you care?" I cut him off.

"Because-" he pauses and takes a breath "because, I saw." Sounding defeated.

Being the clue less dumbass I am didn't know what he was talking about.

"You saw what?" I asked him utterly confused.

"I saw what that guy was doing. I saw him glare at you then at me. I saw him pinch you. And I saw your pain."

On instinct I defended him.

"Zack isn't always like that, you know.. He just has his moments."

"Bullshit." He spat.

I heard footsteps and my heart started racing.

"Uh zayn I have to go. I'm sorry. Goodbye!" I whispered and ended the call. Making sure to turn off my phone.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The door was about to be off it's hinges is I didn't open it. So I did and saw Zack there. Looking angry and drunk.

Here we go again..

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

I awake to the feeling of throbbing pain in my ankles. I wipe my eyes not realizing I was crying.

I sit up looking around and wiping the blood off my hands. I didn't kill him but he almost killed me. I can take this anymore.

'Do it, do it, do it.' They chant.

I shake my head and take a much needed shower.

I wash the feeling of Zack off of me scrubbing myself nearly raw.

I come out with a little white towel on and turn on my phone.

Alright. See you then :)

With that I pulled on some sweats and a sweater with a nice little beanie Zack bought me.

5:05 wow nice I'm early. But he's already there. He tries to hug me but I stiffen and wince.

He steps back with hurt in his eyes. "Wha-I'm sorry" he says.

"No no it's okay." I try to smile. I bet I look like the grinch on Christmas. Ugh

He leads me to a bench and we sit. "Are you going to tell me what happened?" He quietly asks.

'What do I have to loose?'

'A relationship!'

"Oh.." I whisper
