I Won't Tell -Zayn Malik Au-

Chapter Twenty Five

~ Gabriel Pov ~

To: Gabby
From: Luke

could u come over? we need to talk. x

I furrowed my eyebrows at the text. I wonder what he wants to talk about? I thought to myself as i sent him a text that i'll be on my way. I could feel someone staring at me. I looked up from my phone and saw that it was Angie munching. "What are you looking at?"

"Well, i'm looking at you, Chum Bucket." She say with raised eyebrows while stabbing at her chicken salad.

I chuckled at the silly name. "Chum Bucket? That sounds quite familiar."

She chuckled as well at the name. "I got that name from Spongebob Squarepants show. That little Plankton dude's restaurant."

"Hmm, I was wondering where that came off of."

"Is everything alright?" Angie asked while stuffing a fork full of lettuce from her salad in her mouth.

"I guess, Luke wants me to come over so we can talk." I said.

"Hm, is it serious?" She asked stuffing another fork full of salad in her mouth.

I shrugged, getting up from the counter. "I don't know. Thats why i'm going to go over and see him now. I hope it isn't serious."

"You're going to go over there now?" Angie asked.

"Yeah. I'll be back." I said leaving the kitchen, grabbing my jacket from off the rack in the foyer and going over to Luke's.

As Gabriel sent back a text that she's coming over i pulled out the necklace i was going to return to her. While i fumbled with the chain between my fingers, thoughts came to mind about the party. But theres one thing i was trying to figure out. Was she in the same room with Zayn when she left behind her necklace? I wouldn't have thought of that if Michael hadn't brought it up. Then Josh said he seen Zayn went after her, so i have no clue whats going on. 

I don't even want to think Gabriel was in the same room with Zayn knowing he and his friends were such jerks towards her, not to mention i was close to beating his ass and his friends asses as well. Going to the same school with them, if i ever think they had something to do with the bruises, scars on Gabriel's skin; they got another thing coming. 

"Luke"

I quickly put the necklace in my pocket as i turned to see Gabriel coming inside the garage. "Hey, whats going on? You wanted to talk."

"Uh, yeah. But, um, first i have something for you i think you probably want back."

She tilted her head in confusion. "Okay."

I reached into my pocket and pulled out the butterfly chain necklace. "I believe this belongs to you."

She was surprised to see the necklace i handed to her. "Oh my god, my necklace. What- How did you find this-"

"Well, Michael found it over at Josh's." 

Gabriel's face expression changed from surprised then it faltered. "He went to use the bathroom in one of the rooms. When he came out he dropped his phone and it went under the bed, as he went for it he found your necklace under there." I said.

She hadn't said anything but fumbled with the necklace nervously in her hands.

"Gabby, are you alright?" I asked growing quite concerned.

I couldn't describe what i was feeling right now. My brain went full static. This is exactly how i felt that very night at Josh's when my innocence was taken away from me. That's when the events of that very night played over and over in my head.

"Gabby, are you alright?"

I was snapped out of my thoughts to see Luke looking at me with worry. "I-I'm sorry." I apologized looking back down at the necklace i was holding.

"No, its okay. I was getting kind of worried, you seem to be out of it. Are you sure nothing's bothering you?" He asked looking me in the eye.

"I'm sure." I said, trying my best to sound as if nothing's bothering when clearly there is. 

He gave me another worried look before his facial expression changed. "Okay, you know you can tell me if there is, right?"

I hate lying to my best friend especially when he's trying to help but i find myself nodding. 

He seem to take my word for it, then he rubbed the back of his neck. "Um, i know you must be wondering what we need to talk about. Well, more like something i want to ask you."

It seemed kind of serious and i swore my heart began to pound against my chest. I hope it isn't that serious. "It brings me back to the party when me and the guys went looking all over you. We checked all over the entire place for you but couldn't find you anywhere. We came to one room we thought maybe you were in but only to find Zayn over the toilet. When Michael and I found your necklace, i don't know something just didn't seem right. Josh told us that he saw you he went off upstairs. What i want to ask you is this, were you in the same room with Zayn?"

My heart soon began racing. What if he finds out if Zayn was the one who raped me? What if he put together the pieces to the puzzle? I haven't been  back to Josh's after the incident, and Luke knows it. 

Before i could even give an answer, I kept hearing the voices echoing in my mind. 

"... you are to not tell anyone about this, do i make myself clear?"

I could hear my hiccuping sobs. 

"I-I won't t-tell." 

"Gabby,"

I snapped out of my thoughts to find Luke looking at me, waiting for my answer. I looked down at the necklace in my clammy hands feeling the coolness of the metal against my skin, before i met his gaze slowly shaking my head whispering a 'no'. I just wished that horrible nightmare had never happened.
