Chapter 3

My eyes wandered to each boy, studying them carefully. They all looked at me with mixed feelings, but only one stood out the most; fear. Why would they fear me? I'm not some crazy fan that stalks their every move.

Snapping me out of my thoughts, Zayn tugged on my arm, dragging me through the house and mumbling words to himself. "Zayn let go of me!" I placed my hand over his, trying to get him to let go. "Zayn, you're hurting me. Let go!" He seemed to ignore my pleading so I gave up. "What are you doing? Where are you taking me? Why a-" I was cut off by Zayn's yelling.

"Shut up! You're getting annoying!" Zayn snapped around and caught me by surprise. He was in my face, gripping my arm tighter. I clenched my hand into a fist and stared at his face. The way the light fixture was in the hallway, you could barely see anything. "You've been new for what? A couple days? And you're already so annoying!"

"If I'm so annoying, then why did you drag me here?!" My voice was barely a whisper.

"I don't know. Want me to drive you back to that party so you can continue to get raped?!" I sighed, looking away from his gaze. "Well do you?! 'Cause I will drop you back off! I don't really care if you get raped!" Tears came to my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. He let go of my arm, and I ran back the way he dragged me.

The boys who once stared at me, stared at me again. "Are you okay?" A curly haired guy asked me. I ignored him, running straight out the front door. I had no idea where I was, let alone what my address was. My ringtone started going off, and I looked at the caller ID.

Willy.

"Hello?" I whispered, letting my tears fall.

*Zayn's POV*

I walked into my bedroom, slamming the door. My bed was across the room, so I walked to it. "Why did you save her?! Why did you have to save that girl?!! You made a big mistake! You've just ruined your reputation!" My mind screamed at me.

"I know I have! It's not my fault that I feel protective over her!"

"Feeling protective over her will ruin you! She's going to destroy you!"

Destroy me?

What the heck is in the hairspray I use?

There was a knock at the door, and instantly I yelled, "Go away!"

"No," Louis protested. "We're coming in whether you like it or not." Mid sentence he walked into my black walled, black carpeted room. The rest of the lads followed him. "What the actual fizzle bunny did you just do to that poor girl? She ran out in tears!!"

"What happened is not your business!" I yelled, raking my hand through my hair.

"Well, I'm making it my business! Because if you don't go apologize to that girl, I will murder you when you're sleeping!" Louis voice cracked while he tried yelling the last part. I kept a straight face, staring right at Louis.

"If you don't get out of my room, I will murder all of you when you least expect it!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. Louis sighed, walking out the way he came, the rest of the lads trailing him.

Why do I feel the way I do over this girl?

Why do I feel as if I should protect her?

Questions ran through my head, and they wouldn't stop. No matter what I tried, Carliey couldn't get off my mind. I buried my face into my pillow and screamed. Why did she have to be so irritating?

*Carliey's POV*

I leaned into Willy's shoulder, tears still falling but not as heavy as they were when I was at Zayn's. "Carliey, how did you end up at his house?" I sighed, I had already told him thirty billion times. Not literally, but you know what I mean.

"I've told you a million times," I snapped feeling angry. "Do I have to tell you again?!" I got up, and ran to my room and made sure I slammed the door. I jumped on my bed and cuddled my pillow while tears poured out of my eyes. Willy opened my door, and shut it again. "Go away!" My voice cracked, but Willy didn't laugh. He just walked over to my bed, and laid down wrapping his arm tightly around me. I tried to get him off of me, but he was stuck like Gorilla Glue.

"Carliey, I'm always here for you. Okay? I'll never hurt you." Tears still poured out of my eyes, but I managed to turn over to face him. Through the tears I saw his face with an expression I couldn't read. "It hurts me to see you like this. I just wish there was something I could do for you to make you happier."

"Stay the night." I replied, wiping my eyes so I could see better. He nodded his head, scooting closer to me. "I'm gonna go change into some pjs. I'll be right back," I said, getting out of his arms, and walking over to my dresser and got my favorite night gown out. It had thin straps and came down to the top of my calves. The gown was black, and the border of it was neon orange. I walked into my bathroom, shutting the door behind me.

It didn't take me no time to change into my gown, and head back to my bedroom. Willy sat down, only wearing his batman boxers. "Batman?" He turned around and nodded. "Only you." I said plopping down on my bed. He nodded his head again, laying down next to me. I turned to my side so I could face him.

"I like your room. I like the polka dot bed covering. And the orange walls with the wood floors. I think the polka dotted wall is a good touch. Especially the brown and white curtains. And the chandelier." I laughed, looking at Willy. "It gives me that relaxed feeling. This is without a doubt my favorite place in the house." Willy made me smile just by looking at me.

"It's mine too. I painted it myself. I also decorated it myself. Everything you see in here was picked out by me."

"Really? You have really good taste!" I smiled, looking away from his gaze.

"I don't think I do. But thanks."

"Anytime, babe." Willy laughed, wrapping his arm around me. I clapped my hands and the room went pitch black. Willy and I fixed ourselves so that my back was facing his chest. He staid about a foot and a half away from me, but I could still feel the heat from his body. "Get some sleep, okay? You need it." I smiled into blackness.

"Okay," I replied closing me eyes and getting cold chills from Willy's hands on my back. He rubbed my back slowly, somehow knowing that that made me really sleepy. "How'd you know that rubbing my back makes me sleepy," I asked suddenly feeling as if I was half asleep.

"Because you just told me." I chuckled, my breathing slowing down.

"Hold me, I'm freezing." Without hesitation, Willy scooted all the way to me, touching my back to his bare chest. For once in my life, I fell asleep smiling and happy.
