I Won't Tell -Zayn Malik Au-

Chapter One

"~Gabriel Pov~

I stood in front of my mirror examining the bruises on my skin, some fresh and there's some fading away. When i lifted my shirt i felt cool air hit my skin cause me to shiver thats when  i see a large bruise on my side. I hate the sight of it wish it wasn't there and same goes with the other marks on my skin. Why this has to happen to me? I find myself kept saying over and over.

I stepped away from the mirror walked into my already shared bathroom about to take a shower. After stripping from my pajamas and stepping into the shower, turning on the faucet letting the steam hit my bruised body. I winced at the contact, biting down on my lower lip letting out a short whimper. Then i felt relaxed and began washing up.

After gotten dressed, i texted my best friend, Luke, that i was ready so he can walk to school together. He usually drives us both to school but his car had broken down and so he had to take it to the shop to get it fixed. Hopefully, but this week he'll get it out. I grabbed my backpack throwing a few things in there and grabbed my phone. My phone vibrated in my hand, i checked the screen to see Luke sent me a text. So i opened it and viewed the text.

To: Gabby
From: Lukey

im just turnin the corner.. goin 2 b at ur door luv x

I smiled at the text. My fingers tapping away at my screen replying back. 

To: Lukey
From: Gabby

I'm ready ... just on my way down stairs x

After i sent the message, i went downstairs about to head for the door before Luke knocks thats when i see my mother coming from the living room.

"All set for school? Luke's coming?" She asked.

"Y-yeah-" Before i could say anything else, thats when we both heard knocking. "Thats him now." I say, jogging for the front door.

"Okay." She say from behind following.

With a smile, i opened the door to see Luke standing there with both hands in his pockets. "Gabby!" He grinned.

I chuckled. "Lukey!" He pulled one of his hands out of his pockets, reaching out to hug me in which i carefully hugged back. 

"Well, hello there Luke." We both pulled apart at the sound of my mother standing there smiling at us.

Luke cleared his throat before he spoke. "Hello, Pam." He smiled. After knowing Luke for who knows how long, my mother told Luke that it was fine calling her by her name; instead of calling her Ms. Smith all the time. She would say she feels old when he calls her that.

"Well, don't stand there give me a hug." My mother chuckled.

Luke laughed softly and they both hugged.

I stood there awkwardly, watched as they pull apart from the hug. "Okay you two better get off to school. I don't want you two to be late." She looked in between the both of us.

"Okay." Luke and i say at the same time.

"Later mum." I say.

"Aw, later sweetie." We both hugged. "You have a wonderful day in school, okay?"

Yeah, I don't know about that. I thought to myself while hugging her, then pulled away. "I will. Later." I turned to Luke who was already waiting for me and we began walking side by side down the sidewalk.

"Later." We both heard my mum called out. Luke turned around walking backwards waving back at my mum then resumed walking by my side.

"I love your mum." He chuckled stuffing his hands in pockets.
