Simon's Little Experiment

Ch 3 ~ Jealousy

Nile's POV

How dare they, they made Zia cry. I angrily stormed down the stairs after Zia's horrifying screams and sobs stopped and she had fallen asleep. We all knew that she was having flashbacks to her old life before she came here. She never explained any of those things to us in detail. But it's not like we expect her to.

"What the hell is your problem? Do you like making people cry?" I clenched and unclenched my fists which by now were turning white.

"Listen, we're really sorry." Niall said. They all had in their eyes.

They aren't getting any of my bullshit forgivness.

"No. Just leave."

"What's going on here?" we all turned around to see...

Zia's POV

"You nasty waste of space! Why were you even born?!" my dad drunkenly slurred. My face was already bloody and bruised from all the abuse but I brushed it off. They loved me. They were just drunk and didn't know what they were talking about. I made my way upstairs as I heard the couple start into another argument. Nick climbed into my window angrily.

"Hey Nicky." we have been together for about two weeks and he has been nothing but nice to me. But he kept complaining about how I wouldn't give him what he needed.

"Shut up bitch." My cracked smile faded as I realized what he was doing when he started to forcefully snog me.

************************

I woke up feeling rather sore and when I stood up, pain rocketed near my lower region. I fell to the ground with a whimper. Nick was gone, my parents were passed out, and I was officially uninnocent. He took away my innocence. Tears rolled down my face.

I was pulled up from the ground and a small pocket knife was plunged into my stomach. Looking up I saw Nick.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!"

Nile's POV

We say Simon standing in the doorway waiting for an explanation.

"Dusty ran away so they were trying to find out who's cat she belonged to and ended up here where they barged in and started insulting us. They then said, and I quote, 'What, so you can cut away at your little wrists?' which is what Louis said, and Zia had walked through the door. She stormed up the stiars and almost went back to her old ways but we finally calmed her down and Nile tried to get the boys to leave." Louise said all in one breath. She took a deep breath in and let it out staring at Simon. "Then you walked in and made me explain all that." she nodded and plopped her bum on the ground.

"You boys are in so much trouble." Hayley smugly smiled at Simon's statement. "You girls too." her smile fell. "You guys are to stay in this house, with these girls, for a full month."

"Fuck you Simon." Louise glared at our manager.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" we all heard a shout from up stairs.

"What was that?" Zayn asked. Ooo. It speaks. Leya and Simon exchanged worried glances.

"Zia!" we all rushed upstairs to Zia's room where she was rocking herself and shaking in the corner. "Oh Zee..." I covered my mouth along with the lads and everyone else in the room. I slowly approached her reaching out to her. The raven haired girl slapped my hand away from herself and screamed out.

"Fake look up at us." Louis said to her.

"Really?! That really helps right now Lewis!" Leya screeched. Shit. She never loses her temper.

"Well maybe you should just shut up! Sheesh! I'm sorry! HAPPY!?" Zia started gripping her hair tightly. "Listen Zia...I'm sorry." Louis looked down in shame. I once again reached out to hug Zia but she moved into the corner more than before if possible.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" she sobbed. I had tears running down my face for the broken girl.

Louis' POV

What the hell have I done?

"Louis, what have you done?" Simon said looking at me.

"Exactly what I was thinking about." The boys gave me disapproving looks. "Listen, I didn't think it would hurt anyone, I thought they were trying to be like us honestly until they mentioned Simon. Then when we were in the room I sort of forgot..."

"Well you've got a lot of apologizing to do Lewis. She won't let us go anywhere near her. Zia must've had a flashback but it's normally never this bad." Louise coldly stated. Zayn began to walk up the stairs and went to Zia's room. "No Zayn, leave her be. She'll come around sometime." he nodded and sat back down.

2 days later

We've been here for two days and Zia's night terrors are pretty terrifying.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!"

"PLEASE NO I'M SORRY!"

"SORRY!"

Those were only some of the things that she's said in her sleep. It was about midnight right now and her screams should start soon.

"NO! IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN PLEASE DON'T HURT ME AGAIN! I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME!" now there's something she's never said before. I ran into her room to see Zia thrashing around in her bed. Her hair was everywhere, she was crying, whimpering, and what was even more disturbing was that there was blood on her leg. I looked closely and found a scar that had re-opened. It looked deep and about a month or two old. Something bad must've happened. Before I did anything about it, Zia woke up with a start with wild wide eyes.

"Hey Zia, calm down. It's just me, Louis. Or Lewis as Louise likes to call me." she nodded lightly and attacked me in a hug surprising me.

"I-I'm sor-ry." she whispered.

"Hey, there's nothing to be sorry about. Now let's get that leg of yours cleaned up and fixed." Zia nodded again. It was soon wrapped after it was cleaned and Zia went back to bed.

2 hours later

"AHHHHHH I'M SORRY!"

That's what I woke up to and how I found myself holding Zia close to my body. We both soon fell asleep soundly and I didn't wake up again that night.

Liam's POV

I was the first one to wake up as always. Everyone was already downstairs in an hour except for Louis and Zia. Even Zayn was awake. All heads turned to the stairs when we heard someone stumble down the stairs. Louis was carrying a sleeping raven haired girl down the stairs. Zia's hands were gripping onto his shirt and tear tracks stained her face. Her head was moving slightly to Louis' footsteps. Zayn's fists were clenched and I could see the...jealousy in his eyes? I looked over to Louise and saw jealousy in her eyes as well.
