Malibami / 1d

chapter twenty-nine

"Good luck, darling." My mother said, letting go of the hug. "Thanks." I said, very uncomfortable. I hugged my father and then followed Rob to the car. It was a rather cloudy day today in Miami, which was a perfect representation of my mood, like I could burst in to a crying session any time. 

Rob unlocked the doors and we both sat down in the car. "So, I know you're not ready but I think it is the best way to do this, Lily." Rob said, staring at me for a second. "Let's first pick up Niall." I nodded and just tried to stay quiet, not knowing what to say.

Today was the day after boxing day, meaning that I came home two days ago. My first two nights back were scary, heart-wrecking and anxious. I was so scared I couldn't sleep. I was rolling around in bed all night so I looked even more restless today.

Niall had calmed me down perfectly on Christmas Day. Nobody questioned why we were gone for so long once we got back downstairs. I sat down next to Niall on the couch and he put a blanket on top of us so he could rub circles on my hands to comfort me without my brother noticing.

After the second movie, all of Liam's friends, I guess my friends again too, went to their own homes or the frat house so they could spend some of Christmas with their family. 

Now we were going to pick Niall up again so he could go with us. We were first going to file Zayn's suspension on campus and then we were going to the police station to actually file a declaration of abuse and harassment. 

Niall wasn't really needed for the filing of the suspension, but I think Rob figured out I could use him for my support, since I really needed that. The drive was quiet, we didn't know what to talk about. 

Eventually we got to Niall's house and I told Rob I'd ring the doorbell. I got out of the car, walked over to the front door and rang the little bell. A few seconds later the door opened and Niall smiled at me. "Hey." He said, stepping outside and giving me a hug. "Hi," I let out a groan. "I don't want to do this." I said while he closed the door and we walked back over to Rob's car.

I slipped in to the passenger's seat again whilst Niall climbed in to the backseat. "Hello Rob." Niall said politely. "Hello Naill." He replied while driving off. We started driving towards campus and when we got close the anxious feeling came back to me.

Slowly we started passing by the frat houses. Before I knew it, we passed Kappa Sigma. I stared at the porch to see Travis, walking around with a basketball. I was lucky he didn't see me, otherwise I would already be in trouble. I let out a breath that Niall caught on to once we were past Kappa Sigma. 

Rob drove the last part and finally we arrived at the buildings. He parked the car and we all got out. Niall and I followed Rob inside. All the doors were locked and basically nobody was around in these buildings because classes weren't happening right now. All the employees were still on Christmas Break so why would they be here.

Niall and I followed Rob to his office. We sat down on the couch whilst Rob sat down behind his desk and immediately grabbed his desk phone.

"Hi, this is Rob Carters, I would like to request two security guards to the Wayne Institute." He said. I frowned and looked at Niall. We were currently in the Wayne Institute, that was what the building was called. We stared at Rob as he finished the phone call and then turned around to get some paperwork.

Rob then began filling in some forms and typing away some things on his computer. 

After about ten minutes, two security guards walked in and saw us three. "You requested us?" One of them said and I just sat there, overwhelmed and shocked. "Yes." Rob said, grabbing an envelope and putting all the paperwork in it. Then he sealed it and got up.

"We're going to deliver this suspension form to a rather violent boy," he said, staring at the guards and then at us. "He will probably get violet at me. I need you two to stay with him until he has left campus." Rob explained.

"We'll follow right behind." They said. I got up and followed Rob out of the office. He locked it again and then we walked out of the building.

Rob, Niall and I walked over to Rob's car and the security guards got in to their own. "It's better if you kids duck down when we get there, we don't want to risk them seeing you." Rob said, making me nod. So Niall and I both got in to the backseat. Rob drove off to the Kappa Sigma frat house.

The car neared Kappa Sigma and immediately I held my breath. Niall put his hand on my upper arm and I slid more towards him. The car eventually came to a stop and I got down in my seat, pulling Niall along with me. We ducked down on the ground in between the drivers seat and the backseat. Niall did the same and I just started breathing heavily. 

"Good luck Rob." I said, seeing him get out of the car. 

I turned around and stared at the frat house, I could see it just right, and they probably couldn't see me. Rob and the two guards walked up to the door and waited for somebody to open it. To my surprise it was Zayn himself, which made me so shocked I gasped and almost fell over.

Niall got closer to me and helped me sit up again, holding on to my hands. "It's him." I whispered, seeing him. Niall wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me in to his body, trying to help me to stay calm.

Rob started talking and then handed him the envelope. Zayn furrowed his eyebrows and opened  it. When he read the first few lines his face got red and he started boiling of anger. "You asshole!" I heard him yell. He tried to lunge his fist at Rob who stepped away just on time.

Zayn tried to jump him yet again but the two security guards were holding him back. Rob turned back around and walked back to his car. Before I knew it, Rob had gotten in and he drove off. When he had turned two corners he stopped the car and looked over his shoulder to see Niall and me still sitting crouched down.

"You guys are safe." He said. So we got up and sat on the backseat again. "I guess he took it bad huh." Niall said, taking a hand through his hair. Rob nodded, "one last thing on our to do list now." He said, driving off to the police station.

There was basically a panic attack going on in my mind and I think Niall started to notice. "Lily." He said, grabbing my hand and making me look at him. "What you're doing is good and you should know that we're all proud of you. You're giving Zayn what he deserves." Niall told me.

I could see Rob looking through the rear view mirror but he probably realized Niall was comforting enough on his own. I nodded, staring at Niall. "You don't know how thankful I am for you, Niall." I said, pulling him in to a hug. 

"Alright kids, we're here."
