Ziall-Forbidden Love

Chapter Twelve

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

Zayn's Pov:

"You did what?!" Niall shouted, Ok so maybe it wasn't my smartest idea to tell him about Lou and Haz coming over, It was even more stupid to think he would be ok with it. 

"I just thought-" I said but got cut of mid sentence by Niall. 

"See that's your problem, You shouldn't think!" Niall yelled. 

"Will you just listen to me?" I replied calmly, Niall nodded his head. 

"Look Harry went through a similar thing to you. At first he was scared to go to the police, So I figured, Maybe if you just spoke to him, You would want to do something about Jacob" I said. 

"I am doing something, I'm forgetting about it, Moving on with my life, My life with you, I suggest you do the same thing" Niall replied, I rolled my eyes smiling.

"Stubbornness is one of the many things I love about you, I tell you what hear what Harry has to say, If you still don't want to go to the police, I will respect that and never bring it up again" I suggested. 

"Will it shut you up?" He asked. 

"Yep"

"Fine then, I will listen to what he has to say" Niall said, I smiled before pulling him into a hug, I had a feeling this was going to be a long day. 

You remember when I said I loved Niall's stubbornness? Well I've changed my mind I now hate it! Harry and Louis arrived this afternoon and he's still refusing to go to the police, Now I know I said I would respect his wishes, But this sick bastard needs locking up, It's either that or he has a private conversation with my fists. Louis was being his normal self trying to give the best advice he could but Niall just ignored it. 

"Listen I appreciate everything your trying to do, But I'm not like you guys. I don't have the emotional strength to deal with this, It's been happening for years and I've never been able to beat it, So what would be the difference now? So just respect my wishes and leave it at that ok?" Niall said before standing up and leaving the room, I hung my head sighing. 

"Thanks for trying mate" I said. 

"Erm Zayn?" Harry whispered. 

"Yeah?" I replied. 

"Erm if you don't mind I'd like to talk to Niall alone, I mean, I really think I can get through to him if it's just to two of us" Harry said. 

"Yeah sure mate" I replied smiling, Harry left the room in search of Niall, Leaving me and Lou to wait. 

Niall's Pov:

I wanted to be strong enough, I wanted to be able to fight back against Jacob, I tried it yesterday and what happened? I called Zayn because I couldn't fucking take it! It's easy for them to say oh fight back, But they don't have to face the inner demons of it all. 

"Niall?" I heard a voice speak my name, I turned around to see Zayn's friend Harry standing there. 

"Yeah?" I replied. 

"Can I sit down?" Harry asked. 

"It's a free country mate" I said, Harry nodded his head before sitting across from me. 

"Niall loo-" 

"Listen Harry, I'm not being funny but nothing you say is going to change my mind. I'm not strong enough to face it case closed. Whatever it is you went through I'm sorry for that, But I'm not you, I don't have the strength so your wasting your time" I said bluntly. 

"Do you know my story?" He asked. 

"No".

"I know how your feeling Niall, The fear, The vulnerability, The feeling of not wanting to burden Zayn with your problems. You don't want to run to him for protection or with every little problem you have, You want to have the strength to fight back against it all, Make it stop if only for a while you want to be the one in control". 

"How would you know?" I asked.

"Because I've been where you are. I've been scared to face each day, I've had to cover the constant bruises, Live the reminders, Pretend everything will be ok. Getting up each day knowing what my day will be like. I was exactly where you are now Niall, I lived the same fear. See my dad he used to beat me. Everytime he drunk he would take his frustration out on me, At the time asking for help wasn't an option for me, I was to proud. I wanted to face it and beat it on my own, Even though I knew there was no chance of that happening. I lost all hope until I met Louis, He was my saviour Niall, The same way Zayn is yours. You don't see it now but he will be your rock, He will be the one there to hold you when things get rough, He will be your strength when yours is running low". 

"Mate I'm sorry for what happened I really am, But I can't do it, I can't face all this on my own" I replied. 

"Your not on your own. You have Zayn. You may not want to lean on him, But he wants you to, You have to stand up against this Jacob otherwise you will never be free of him. If you don't report what he done to you, What he's still trying to do to you, He's going to do it to even more people, You can stop that Niall, You can save all those people from the same feeling you have now. Then once you see the scumbag go down, I can tell you there's no greater feeling" Harry said. 

"I'm scared Harry" I replied tears falling from my eyes, Harry stood up pulling me into a tight hug. 

"It's ok to be scared. Even the most bravest people in the world get scared. But if you don't stand up to this scumbag he's going to get away with everything he done, And if you ever need support from someone who's not Zayn, Im here" I nodded my head, Hugging Harry back before standing up, I took a deep breath and walked inside with Harry, One of his arms still around my shoulders. We walked back into the sitting room, Louis and Zayn shot up from there seats. 

"Ok I'm ready to send him down" I said, Zayn smiled before walking over to me, He wrapped his arms firmly around me, Giving me a gentle squeeze. 

"I'm so proud of you" Zayn whispered into my ear causing me to smile. I placed a gentle kiss into his collarbone. 

"I love you" I whispered. 

"I love you too" He replied.
