Chapter Nine

Heya guys here's the next chapter of the story, I really hope you like it, Leave me your feedback.

Zayns Pov:

My blood never fully stopped boiling that whole night. I held my poor vulnerable, Beautiful Niall in my arms the whole time. The thought of somebody physically hurting him made me sick! I've never agreed with domestic abuse, Rape, Child abuse any of it. Why would a human being want to hurt another human being? That was the question I constantly asked myself. I never fully understood it until now. Jacob, I hated him! So what if I barley knew him, He hurt Niall! He punched him, Smacked him, Kicked him, Forced himself on him! The sick twisted little bastard! No way was I going to let anybody hurt this angel ever again. I looked down at Niall sleeping peacefully in my arms, looking at him you wouldn't think anything had happened to him. He looked so pure. There was so many questions I wanted to ask, So many answers I needed to hear. But all that could wait for now. I began to slowly untangle myself from Niall's body, Advice was what I needed right now, A support system for myself. As I rose from the bed, I felt a hand grab my arm.

"What time is it?" Niall spoke in a soft mellow voice.

"Its 1 PM. Get some more sleep Niall, We crashed out late last night" I replied.

"Don't leave me" Niall said.

"I never will, I'm still right here, Go back to sleep" I whispered kissing Niall gently on the forehead. As Niall fell back into a deep sleep, I left the room grabbing my phone as I went. I dialed Louis number before holding the phone to my ear. 

"Louis, Can you meet me at the supermarket, I need to speak to you".

"Alright mate, Be there in 15" Louis replied before hanging up, I knew he wouldn't be happy that I ditched them at the club then called him up but I needed his advice. I left Niall a note next to the bed explaining I had gone to the supermarket the doors were locked, And to call me if he needed me. 

"What am I supposed to do Lou? I knew something was wrong but I never expected that" I said while picking up a basket.

"Zayn mate, There's no handbook on how you do it, You can't speak certain words that wash the memory away, You can't hug someone and boom the bruises leave, Like scars and bruises it takes time to heal" Louis replied.

"I know that, But Lou he got beat and raped, All I want to do is protect him. The minute he told me it was like my blood was set on fire, I hate Jacob I fucking hate him!" I spat out through gritted teeth.

"Woah Zi, Calm down, I know, I know the vulnerability you feel, But imagine Niall is ten times worse then that. He went through it Zayn, It took alot for him to trust in you, The anger your feeling you have to transform it into something else Zi, If you don't your going to scare him away" Louis replied.

"I already did" I said sighing deeply.

"How?"

"Once he told me, I had to get out the room Lou, I felt nothing but sickness and anger, Not at Niall, But at Jacob, The thought of somebody touching him, Hurting him, Holding him down, Taking away the only innocence he had left! Seeing that scum pinning him against the wall, Tugging at his clothes like he was some kind of animal, Calling Niall his property! It made me sick Lou" I replied trying not to lose my cool right there. I grabbed various different bits of food, I had no idea what Niall would eat so I had to guess. 

"You love him don't you?" Louis said coolly. I looked at him with no emotion on my face, Then I walked away but Louis grabbed hold of me, "Don't walk away from me Malik answer the question". 

"I-I-I don't know, I care for him more then I've ever cared for anyone before. I want to protect him, Hold him when he's scared, Make him smile when it seems that he's down, Make him cry tears of happiness, Not of pain and sorrow" I replied placing the basket on the till. 

"Then you know what you have to do mate" Louis said. 

"I know what I have to do, But Jacob, he makes my skin crawl, If I ever see him again Lou, I can't guarantee I'll keep my cool" I replied.

"Cross that bridge when you come to it Zi" Louis words were on constant loop inside my head, I've never done any of this before, So I have no idea how to deal with it all.

Niall's Pov:

The minute I heard Zayn's keys in the lock I ran straight for the door. I missed his gentle touch, His warm embrace making me feel safe. Last night I told him everything about Jacob, Yeah I was scared but for once I knew I could actually rely on someone, Someone actually cared for me, It was a new overwhelming sensation that I wasn't used to, But I knew I would crave more. The moment Zayn walked through the door I flung myself into his arms. Causing him to drop his bags everywhere, He laughed a heartfelt chuckle before speaking.

"Well lucky I didn't buy eggs eh" Zayn wrapped his arms around my waist, The warm overwhelming sensation was back. I cuddled myself closer into his chest. "What's up Niall?" He asked.

"I just, I was cold, I missed you-I wanted a cuddle" I stuttered out, Zayn chuckled again before pulling me even closer to his body. I'd never been hugged like this before not by anybody, The embrace was full of nothing but utter love, Something I've been craving for years. 

"I hope you don't mind but I kind of took a pair of your tracksuit bottoms and shirt" I spoke up looking up at him, I saw nothing but adoration in his eyes.

"Of course not, They look better on you then they do me, Hey you hungry?" Zayn asked, I nodded my head as we broke apart from the embrace.

"You go grab us some movies from my room while I make us something to eat, I can guarantee this will be the best food you've ever tasted" He said grinning wildly at me. 

We sat down and ate the delicious food Zayn had made. Honestly it was the best food I'd ever tasted. We were currently sat on the couch cuddling, Zayns strong arms were wrapped protectively around me. For the first time in a long time I believed that somebody cared, That somebody wanted to keep me safe, Without wanting anything in return. 

"Zayn?" 

"Yeah?" Zayn replied looking down at me.

"Why do you care so much? I mean not that I'm not grateful because I am but the way I treated you, The way I was with you, Yet you still saved me, And came for me when I called you, Why Zayn?" I asked.

"Honestly? I see something in you Niall, Something innocent and carefree. Something I want to protect, I feel a sense of protection towards you, I can't explain what it is. It's some instant connection I feel that I have with you, I want to be the one you lean on Niall, I want to be the one you run to everyday and night, I want to be the reason you laugh, I want you to be happy Niall, It's more then just about your school work with me Ni, I want to make you happy" Zayn replied tears began to slowly stream down my pale cheeks, Zayns face broke out into worry.

"Ni,Niall please don't cry please, What's wrong?" Zayn said frantically.

"There tears of happiness you idiot" I replied chuckling slightly, I wrapped my arms tightly around Zayn hugging him tighter then I've ever hugged anyone before. I then slowly tilted my head leaning closer to Zayn, Sparks were blowing up deep between the both of us, That one spark started a fire, The fire that was burning deep inside me, The fire was love. The love we had for eachother. My lips connected with Zayns, As I went to pull away I felt Zayn's hand slither up to cradle my neck, He pulled my head closer to his kissing me deeply. This was the kiss of love.
