The Heart of A Fighter

Chapter 10 - Another Beating

Hey sorry I haven't posted in a while. I could say that I have been busy but that would be a lie. I am just gonna tell you the truth. I have been to lazy to think of anything so sorry guys!! Anyways on with the chapter..... and you will get to meet a couple new characters.

Paige's POV

Today I had yet another fight. It was someone who was from here but I haven't been told who it is yet. Zayn let me go home yesterday after my little......well....breakdown.

He has been there for me for ever and he is like my brother, but I don't exactly think he thinks of me that way. Sure he is incredibly good looking but I don't think I could look at him like that.

As I got closer to the gym, I felt like someone was following me so I turned around and as soon as I did that someone slapped me in the face. And it wasn't a friendly slap like the one you give your friends, no this was the kind of slap that someone who hated you and wanted you to pack up and leave slap.

"Hey tommy boy!" and it was the famous Jason and Emily who were the "star couple" at our school who also happened to hate me. I fell to the ground with the hard impact.

Emily had always bullied me about boxing, but Jason started to bully me when him and Emily started dating.

The weird thing was that me and Emily were really good friends back when we were younger, until I started boxing and she was getting called names for being around me. That's when things headed for the worst.

"Oh, and I thought you were a fighter, but I guess your just a little wimp." Jason yelled as he kicked my in the stomach and leg.

"Yah. If your were going to try and be a BOY, you should at least try and be good at it." Emily said as she pushed me against the ground as I was trying to get up.

Jason kicked me three more times in the stomach and once in the back, and with that they left.

As I got up to get to the door of the gym, Harry walked out the door.

"Paige! There you are! Zayn has been waiting for you. What happened to you?"

"Harry one thing at a time. Just help me through the door please." I said grabbing his shoulder. Harry helped me sit down and I started to open my bag, but Harry grabbed my arm restricted me from doing so.

"What do you think your doing Paige? You can't train like this. I'm gonna go tell Zayn you can't train." he said as he started to walk off. I grabbed his arm before he could leave.

"No. I am fine."

"No your not. Paige you are beaten and bruised. You can't fight like this!" He yelled.

"I have been beaten worse!" as soon as the words left my mouth I regretted it.

"What do you mean?"

Thank God Zayn walked in the gym at that moment.

"Paige! What the hell happened to you!?" Zayn said as he ran over to me and started examining my face being careful of were I am sure a bruise was starting to form.

"Nothing. I'm fine." I lied. My cheek was stinging and my stomach was hurting all over. My back felt like if I stood up my back would fall apart.

"Paige you are probably the worst liar I know now tell me who did this to you." Zayn said pulling me into his office.

"Was it Jason?"

I said nothing. All I did was look at the floor.

"That son of a b*tch! I am going to find him and kick his arse!" I can tell when Zayn is really angry, and right now..... he is beyond angry. He knew Jason had done this before but now he seemed angrier than before.

"No Zayn I don't need you to fight my battles for me. I can deal with this on my own."

"No you can't Paige!" he shouted.

I flinched because his voice was never this loud. He realized that he was scaring me so he lowered his voice.

"Paige. You are like the sister I never had and I.... I can't let anyone hurt you." he said while looking me in the eyes.

Then he started to lean in, and at that moment I realized... so was I.......

Don't hate me please! I tried to think of something for you guys because it felt like I didn't update enough. But other than that..... BYE!!!! Luv y'all!! Stay Beautiful! and i know Zayn has sisters but in this story he doesn't have any family and he lives with a friend who will be coming into the story soon.
