Charlotte's p.o.v. . .

I was currently outside sebastian's  house waiting for him. He was gonna ride with me to the school as his car needed some fixing.

He finally came down after ten minutes and it took us another ten minutes to reach school. During the entire ride, he kept apologizing about the party. He took it all on himself and kept saying that he should never have forced me to go with him and that even after reaching there, he shouldn't have left me alone and stuff like that.

"It's not your fault sebastian!" I said for a millionth time before getting out of the car. "It is in a way you know" he said. " Fine! whatever you say" I finally said putting my hands up in defeat.

Today after lunch, I saw zayn standing by the lockers. I wanted to thank him but then I remembered what tyler had said about him. I hated zayn for that. But he did save me from getting raped the other night so it was my duty to thank him right? So I finally decided that I'll thank him. Right now in fact. So I went up to him and said " th-thank you for umm....saving the other ni-night." Oh god! What is wrong with me, I never stammer I thought.

He just nodded.

Why is he nodding? Is he stupid?

"Why are you nodding?" I asked confused.

" So what else am I supposed to do?" He asked and I saw the corner of his lips rising and I realized that he was smiling. It was a genuine smile. Not a fake or a mean one but a real sweet smile.

" Just say no problem or its fine or anything in general. It's better than just nodding" I said smiling back.

" alright" he said " no problem! Happy? " he said smiling even wider.

"Very much " I said and walked away.

For a moment I forgot my hatred for him and thought that he was actually a nice guy. But I knew in the back of my mind that he wasn't. If he actually were a nice guy, then there is a possibility that we could be friends I thought walking in the corridor. That's when tyler pulled me aside and asked "What the fuck were you doing with him?"

"Who? Zayn?" I asked

" who else" he asked annoyed.

" I was just thanking him for the other night" I said defending myself.

"There was no need" he said crossing his arms on his chest.

"He freaking saved me from getting raped and you're saying that there's no need to than him? Are you insane? " I asked

"I'm not insane but you're definitely 'in zayn' " he said making the quote sign with his fingers.

" What? This is ridiculous tyler! How can you even think that I like him? I know what you said yesterday and i even know what he did to you. I can never like a person like him" I clarified.

"You fucking told her? " I heard someone say from behind me. I turned around to see a very pissed off zayn. Shit! I thought. He heard all of that.

"I had to tell her somday" tyler said to him in defence.

" no you didn't" zayn said with anger filled in his voice.

" She's my sister okay!" Tyler said and I almost choked on my own saliva at that sentene.

" I don't care whoever she is to you! We made a deal that we'll not tell this to anyone" zayn almost shouted.

" please don't fight guys! This is all my fault. I begged tyler to tell me about this" I said feeling guilty.

" What is your problem? Don't you get it? I already warned you about this. Didn't your mother teach you to stay out of other's business! " zayn yelled.

He said my mother. My mother who died when I was twelve. No one had ever mentioned her till now. And this brought back memories.

I felt tears welling up in my eyes at the mention of my mother and so I turned on my heel and ran away from the whole situation.

Zayn's p.o.v. . .

I saw tears welling up in her eyes. Why was she crying? I thought.

And after that in no time, she ran away from the place where the three of us were standing. Oh no! I thought. I must have hit a nerve.

"Are you out if you freaking mind?" Tyler said frantically.

" What did I do? " I asked confused.

" you shouldn't have mentioned her mother,  you fucking asshole! "  Tyler said walking away from me in cahrlotte ' s direction.

Shit! I thought . I shouldn't have said that.  But what is with her mother? I thought.

Whatever it is, I'll find out!
