Ziall-A Bet Changes Everything

Chapter Four

Heya guys, So here's the next chapter, I'm dedicating it to HannahCobana18 because she's been a good friend of mine on here since I first joined, And she's really supportive of my stories, So I want to say a massive thank you to her. Leave me your feedback guys.

Niall's Pov:

Maybe I had gotten Zayn wrong? Maybe he wasn't as bad as I first thought. They say never judge a book by it's cover, I suppose that's what I done with Zayn. I've judged him before I got to know him. I decided rather quickly to give Zayn a chance and now I can't help but feel that I made the wrong decision. Nobody knows but I left Ireland as a result of major bullying, I don't mean the normal harsh name calling, I'm talking real physical, harmful, dangerous bullying. My mother decided she couldn't handle seeing her baby boy hurt, So she decided we would be moving, When we moved out here I decided not to be a target. All bullies are the same why give them the satisfaction of knowing they own you? The truth is all bullies have a weakness, For most of them they hide behind there friends reality being there scared of there own shadows. Maybe Zayn was like that?

I rolled over in bed noting that it was 11 AM, Zayn should be here soon so I slowly raised myself from my bed heading to the bathroom. After I'd showered, Brushed my teeth, Got dressed and styled my hair, I walked down the stairs. My mum was standing there making breakfast, I smiled to myself, My mum she's been there through everything. She was there with all the bullying and she brought up my confidence, If it wasn't for my mum I wouldn't be the person I am today, So I'm grateful to her for everything, The bond we have together it truly is unbreakable. I walked over to my mum wrapping my arms firmly around her, She laughed before wrapping one of her arms around my neck.

"Morning baby" She said, I smiled hugging her tighter.

"Morning mum, Do you need help?" I asked, She shook her head before replying.

"No, It's fine go sit down sweetheart breakfast will be ready soon" I nodded my head giving my mum a quick kiss before walking over to the table.

"So what do you have planned for today?" She asked.

"Oh, Zayn's coming over for awhile is that ok?" I asked.

"Zayn? Isn't he the one you said seems like a cocky, Arrogant, Self centered pretty boy, With a brain the size of a tad pole?" My mum said, I chuckled before replying.

"Yeah, That's him. But I've gotten to know him the past two weeks, And he's nothing like I thought, He's really kind and gentle, And I think he really does want to be my friend" I informed her.

"If I didn't know better Niall, I'd say you had feelings for him". 

"Well I wouldn't say feelings, But I think he's truly stunning I won't deny that" I said, My mum sighed heavily.

"Just be careful sweetheart, You have a fragile heart, I don't want to see you hurt again, Don't give your heart to this boy so easily Niall, Be careful that's all I ask" She exclaimed while handing me my breakfast.

"I will mum, I promise" I assured her before digging into the most delicious food ever!

After we ate my mum told me she would be heading out for work, That would mean I'd be alone with Zayn.

A few hours later Zayn arrived. Things were pretty awkward at first but we moved on quickly from that when we sat down to do some work. We worked on some English, Math and a little Science. By the end of it Zayn was sprawled out on my living room floor. I couldn't help but chuckle.

"You want a drink?" I asked, Zayn nodded before standing up and heading over to my DVD collection.

"Can we watch one?" He questioned, I nodded my head before leaving the room. I headed straight into the kitchen turning on the tap, I instantly regretted it when I remembered the tap was broken, Water began to dramatically come flying from the tap I screamed trying to turn it off, But when you've got water flying into your eye's it's pretty hard to see. 

"Zayn! Help!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, Zayn came running in seconds later and started laughing his head off, I could have killed him!. "Zayn it's not fucking funny!" I yelled still trying to control the leak. Zayn rushed over grabbing a towel from the table, He instantly got soaked and we were both standing there trying to pull the leaver down to stop the water. 

"Come on where's your muscles Malik" I yelled while laughing.

"They don't come out on weekends" Zayn replied smirking. I laughed while pulling the lever down with Zayn, we finally got it down so the water stopped pouring out, But of course we were both still soaked. 

"Well I think that went rather well" Zayn said, I gave him a weird look before we both bursted out laughing again. Zayn's shirt was completely peeled against his skin, I couldn't help but admire his beautiful body, However I quickly snapped from my thoughts clearing my head. 

"You want to borrow a shirt?" I asked.

"If you don't mind, That would be great" Zayn replied smiling warmly at me. I nodded before walking over to the washing basket that sat in the corner, I pulled out one of my favorite shirts with 'OK' written on it, I then handed it to Zayn and he took it smiling. "Thank you" He said before pulling his wet shirt from his body. I grabbed another shirt and quickly turned around to put it on.

"I don't bite you know" I heard Zayn say, I sighed before quickly putting the shirt on.

"I know, I'm just self conscious" I replied, Zayn walked up to me and placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Don't be. Your beautiful" Zayn said, I couldn't help but smile. I then cleared my throat before walking into the living room.

"Zayn? Why are you bothering with me? I mean like, Why are you so interested in me all of a sudden?" I asked. 

"Maybe I think your different to everyone else" He replied.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"You speak your mind Ni, Your not afraid of anyone. There's just something about you that draws me in, Is that weird?" He asked, I shook my head before sitting down. I looked at the TV screen finally realizing Zayn chose a horror film, My eyes widened. 

"Erm Zayn?" I said. 

"Yeah?" He replied.

"I'm not a massive fan of horror films. I mean we only have them because my mum adores the old classics, I well, I erm-" Zayn cut me off mid sentence.

"It's just a movie Niall. I mean there's loads of over done make up and fake blood but that's it" Zayn noticed my hesitation. "Come here. I'll protect you" Zayn said opening his arms for me, I timidly crawled over to him, Zayn wrapped his arms firmly around me and I rested my head against his chest. So maybe I was wrong, Maybe Zayn wasn't as bad as I first thought.

Zayn's Pov: 

The minute I held Niall in my arms I knew I couldn't do this to him, I couldn't sleep with him then break his heart. He's so innocent, And he has so much love to give, How could I take that from him? How could I break his fragile little heart? Niall saw past the mysterious look and the bad boy image. I had to tell the boys I couldn't go through with the bet. A part of me really does care for Niall, I wasn't going to risk blowing any chance I actually had with him, There's something special about this boy, I just know it deep down in my heart.
