~Chapter 8~ broken car or broken mind~

::::::::::

I woke up this morning feeling rather lousy. I just didn't want to attend school at all today but luckily it was Friday. My mom and step-dad had left yesterday for yet another one of their business trips and wouldn't be back till Monday.

I looked at my clock and noticed it's probably best to leave now. I finished getting ready and walked out of my home. Everything was going fine till I put my key in ignition, my car just wouldn't start. I tried restarting it several times till I ended up slamming my wheel. Aggravation was the least thing I was feeling right now. I just had to get to school, fast. I looked at my phone and saw I was already running late.

"shit." I cussed heavily under my breathe. Why the hell is my car not working today above all days.

I tried thinking of someone who could pick me up but Brittany and Lindsey live on the other side of town.

That would only leave me with... Oh no. No I can't ask him..It's just..no.

I barely had time to process what I should do because I saw Zayn come out of his home with keys in his hand. I didn't have any other choice than to make my way to him. I huffed knowing I would regret this.

"Zayn?"

His head shot up, confused to why I was standing before him. He had his helmet in his hand and looked at me rather eagerly.

"Can I help you?" I've grown used to his rude responses but each time it still astounds me.

"Look you're the last person I want to bother right now but my car isn't starting and I need to get to school."

He sighed looking at me for a brief second obviously contemplating what to do. It's true though, I left him in this awkward situation but I had no other choice.

"Get on."

He signalled toward his motorcycle to which my heart immediately dropped. My last experience wasn't too swell and the memories always pain me.

"Your..motorcycle? Don't you have your other car or something.."

"Look do you want a ride or not?" Ouch. I didn't reply because I needed the ride but I was very reluctant to get on.

I hesitantly got on and waited for him. He put the helmet he was holding on my head and buckled it. I noticed he didn't have another helmet but I didn't want to bother asking. I watched as he sat down in front of me and roared the engine. My fears were slowly coming back and I couldn't do anything about it. Before I knew it the engine roared and he sped off.

I wrapped my arms tightly around Zayn only to feel him tense up which was rather odd. The faster he drove, the more I got worried. I held on tighter blocking the painful memories that desired to corrupt my mind. I just closed my eyes inhaling Zayn's rather addictive smell. Such a smell that was a mix of cologne and mint.

Before I knew it, we were pulling into the school. I noticed several faces look at our direction but I didn't care anymore. Let them think what they want, he was only giving me a ride. I found it rather funny though that he parked in my once parking spot before he rudely stole it.

He immediately stepped on the brake as we stopped in the parking lot only making my stomach drop. We stayed in the parking spot for 10 more seconds since for some reason I didn't let go of him. When my mind finally came back to reality I quickly let go. I'm surprised he didn't say anything but from our last experience, he knows my fears from this.

He got off first then helped me off after. He unbuckled my helmet then set it in his motorcycle. All the small protective acts he was doing surprised me. I'd be lying if I said I didn't appreciate it though.

"Thank you Zayn."

"Just be out here by 2:15."

He then walked inside the school without giving me a second glace. Okay then..

I just rolled my eyes and walked inside the school. Lets just get this day over with.
