Save You Tonight

Chapter Three

Abbey's P.O.V.

I opened my eyes, took a deep breath, closed them again and began.

"My mom died when I was 10. My dad died when I was 5 but my mom remarried before she died. My stepdad, Tom, was always nice to me when she was around. It's when she wasn't around that scared me. From the first day they were together he would beat me. All the time. At first it wasn't that bad. I'd get slapped. Then after awhile he'd become more violent. After my mom died is when things got really bad though. He would go out and get drunk and come home on the early morning and drag me out of bed. He'd hit and luck me, tell how worthless I was and how everything was my fault. Since my mom died I've put up with this almost everyday. It got to the point where he would lock me in my room and would only let me out for school or when he would come home drunk. After the first three years I started to cut. I couldn't deal with everything. The constant beatings and always being told how worthless I was. I guess I started to believe him. My moms death was still recent then. So much was happening at once. My life was gone without her there. After my dad died she was all I had left. When she married Tom I thought I'd finally have a dad again." I sighed and felt a year roll down my cheek, followed my another. I was going to start crying again. I had to tell him though. I took another deep breath and continued. "When I older I tried to fight back but it just made things worse. I eventually just gave up. I actually stopped cutting about a little more than a year ago but a few months later started again. What happened was the worst yet and I was so scared. I didn't know what to do."

I stopped again and just let myself cry. The tears flowing down my cheeks. I started to shake. I wanted to tell him. I was so scared though. No one knew. No one. I was sitting here though wanting to tell someone that I just met a few hours ago. I cried harder as that day started to replay in my head. The look on his face. My screams hoping that someone would hear and come save me. But no one did. No one heard. I felt Harry take me hand and I looked up.

He squeezed my hand and looked into my eyes. "Abbey, what happened? What did he do?"

Fresh tears still rolling down my face, I looked down. I couldn't look him in the eyes when I said it.

"He...He raped me." I whispered.

Harry's P.O.V.

"He...He raped me." she whispered.

Then she fell into me, wrapping her arms around me. Crying and shaking violently. I managed to put my arms around her but sat there in shock. I started to cry. I couldn't stop myself. Things were so much worse than I thought. I was lucky she was still alive. I don't know how she managed to make it all this time by herself. I continued to cry quietly. I felt her move in my arms as she pushed herself away from me and looked up.

"Why are you still here?" she said looking down.

"What do you mean?" I asked wiping my face with the back of my hand and looking at her confused.

"Why are you still here? You don't even know me. You only met me a few hours ago. You just heard how horrible, screwed up and disgusting my life is. Why aren't you running? Trying to leave?" she says as she continued to look down. I saw fresh tears make their way down her face.

"Hey," I said putting my hand under her chin to look up at me. I used my thumb to wipe away her tears. "I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying right here. I'm not letting you go back home. Not anywhere where he is. You'll never have to see him again. I promise. He'll never be able to hurt you again. Ever."

"Where am I supposed to go then?" she said.

"That's easy." I said smiling. "You'll stay with me and the lads."

"What?! No. I can't do that to you guys. No way. I can't do that. You don't even know me." she said for the third time.

"I might not know you that well but I know enough to know that I want you here, with me." I said looking her in the eyes.

She looked at me and all of a sudden she was in my arms again. I pulled her into my lap and wrapped my arms tighter around her while her arms found their way around my neck. She buried her face into my neck and I settled back into the couch. I held her and stroked her hair and I heard her breathing become quieter and more even. I thought she was asleep when she snuggled into me more.

"Harry?" she said. I could hear the sleepiness in her voice.

"Yes?" I whispered.

"Thank you." she said.

Zayn's P.O.V.

"We just have to stop by my hotel room real quick. I'd like to change before we go out." I said looking at Lea.

She just nodded looking up at me like she has been since we left Harry's room. I have to admit, it was a little awkward but cute at the same time. I looked down at her, met her eyes and smiled. She turned a deep shade of red and looked at her feet. As we made our way down the hallway I looked at her. She had below the shoulder length straight red-brown hair and deep brown eyes. She was thin but not the thin that looked like she was starving herself. She was shorter than me, but not by much. When she blushed her entire face turned red. Just then she looked up at me and caught me stating at her. I turned away and felt my face heat up. Was I blushing? I took out my room key and opened the door and waved Lea in.

"Just sit down and make yourself comfortable. I'll be right out." I said as I pointed to the couch.

"Alright." she said as I made my room into my room.

Pulling off my shirt I went over to the dresser to find the shirt I wanted. I opened a drawer and it wasn't there. I opened another, still not there. I went over to the closet, not there either. Oh that's right, I thought, I left it over the back of the chair. I walked to the door and opened it not expecting what happened next. My guess is that Lea had been standing in front of the door in a way because I walked right into her and we both went crashing down.

"I'm so sorry." I said lifting my head to look at her. I felt my face go red again as I realized that I was on top of her. I looked at her face and it was red as well.

"It-It's okay." she said, her face turning a deeper shade of red.

She was so cute when she blushed, I thought looking at her. Then without really knowing what I was doing I leaned down. Looking at her and then back at her lips I closed the few centimeters of space between us. I moved my lips against hers and she instantly responded, her arms snaking around my neck pulling me closer. As we created a steady rhythm I lost myself in the kiss, never having felt like this before. Testing the limits I let my tongue graze her bottom lip, asking for entrance. She gladly let me in and our tongues began to dance. I felt her hand get tangled in my hair trying desperately to pull me closer, to get rid of any space between us. We broke away, both of us breathing heavy. I looked down at her to find her staring at me with confusion but happiness at the same time. Realizing what had just happened I quickly got up, grabbed the shirt and started back to my room.

"Zayn, wait come back." I heard Lea say.

I turned around and slowly walked back to her not knowing what she was going to say and scared to find out. "Yes?"

"Why did you do that?" she asked.

"I don't know. I couldn't help myself. I'm sorry. I shouldn't of done that." I said biting my lip.

Lea laughed. "Don't be. It's fine. As long as that wasn't the last one I'll get." she said smiling cheekily as she grabbed my hand intertwining her fingers with my own.

I smiled back. If I had my way that wouldn't be our last. Far from it.
