Fast forward to the end of school

Zayn and I decided to walk to the park together. As we walked on the sidewalk, I heard a voice behind me. "Gaaayyy!!!" A boy yelled. I turned around as fast as I could. There was a boy staring at me with two others behind him. He walked towards us, and I stood in front of Zayn to protect him if he decided to attack.

He walked to me so he was almost touching me. "Hey, you're the guy who beat up my dad" he said. I looked at him. He spit on me. I grabbed him by his shirt, my free hand in a fist at my side. I pulled him by his shirt with a tight grip, then rose my fist close to his face. He flinched, and started trying to run away.

"Never. Ever. Go near me or Zayn again. Do you understand?" I growled. "Er... Yes" he said. The boys behind him snickered a bit. "Same goes to you guys!" I snapped. They stopped smiling. I released my grip, and then turned Zayn around, and we kept walking. Zayn opened his mouth as if to say something, but then stopped himself. We finally got to the park. Zayn sat on one of the swings, and I pushed him. His tail was dangling off the swing, but luckily no one was around.

<<[Zayn's POV]>>

As Niall pushed me higher, I felt like I was flying. The breeze felt relaxing. My tail accidentally brushed Niall's face and he laughed. I laughed too. That was the first time I had laughed in a LONG time. I leaned back. When I went down, I hit Niall, and we both toppled on top of eachother in a heap of laughter.

Niall crawled next to me and looked up at the sky. I turned over and did the same. "Do you wanna go to your house?" He asked. "No" I said, a little bit too quickly. Niall looked at me. "Why don't you want me to meet your family?" He asked. I studied his face for a moment. "I don't want you to get hurt" I choked. "What do you mean, Zayn?" He asked.

[Flashback]

"Come onnnn, let's go to your house!" Harry whined. "No... Let's go somewhere else" I said. He looked at me. "Race you there!" Harry yelled, and started running to my house. In panic, I raced after him. He beat me to my door and opened it quickly. When I got there, he grabbed me. "Nice to meet you, are you Zayn's mother? I'm Zayn's boyfriend" He told my mum.

My stomach twisted as my mum yanked him away from me. I started to sob and tried to stop my mum as she began punching and verbally abusing him. "Don't you dare go near him. He doesn't deserve to have friends. You're disgusting, just like him" she slurred. I finally bit my mum's shoulder, making her bleed, so Harry darted out the door. He never talked to me again.

[End of flashback]

"Zayn?" Niall asked. I closed my eyes, and felt tears stream down my face. He sat me up. "Does your family... Abuse you?" He swallowed. I shut my eyes tighter and slowly nodded.
