Matching Rings [h.s]

No one answered.

I looked past Zayn and over to Liam, noticing that he was staring at me with an expression I couldn't read.

"What happened, ya look like you've seen a ghost." Louis said to Zayn which cause me to shift my focus onto Louis.

Zayn chuckled, looking away from the boy for the first time since he had came into sight. Not the reaction I had expected. I then realized it was a frustration chuckle, as if he was trying to control himself.

Zayn looked down at his hands, causing me to do the same. Both his hands balled up into a tight fist. I knew was was about to happen. I moved my body so that I was now in front of the Zayn, in between the two boys with my back towards Louis. He didn't look at me like I thought he would, he looked up past me and back to Louis.

"Z, please don't." I tried to lift my hand up to place it on his cheek but he forced my hand away. "Please look at me." Still his gaze never left Louis.

"Zayn!" I raised my voice slightly causing some people to look in our direction.

Finally looking down into my eyes. His glare was telling me to get out of the way. But I didn't listen.

"Get the fuck out of my way." His eyes glued to mine.

"Whats going on, are you mad at me?" Louis voice distorted as if he was confused.

This for some reason threw Zayn over the edge. He roughly shoved me out of the way, causing me to trip into Liam who was still standing at our side. Liam held me as if he was trying to protect me.

"You FUCKED her." The entire cafeteria went silent.

Louis eyebrows immediately shot up. Zayn started walking and filling in the space between them.

"Woah okay, calm down bro." Louis put both his hands out in front of him gesturing for Zayn to stop. Zayn chuckled again.

I had a terrible feeling that this was going to end in a fight. My brain immediately though that Zayn would obviously win, due to the fact that he was quite a bit taller than Louis. Then I remembered that the shorter boy was very athletic and most likely way stronger than him.

Zayn was now right in Louis face. Maybe three inches apart.

I moved my eyes off the two boys and over to Liam who was still holding on to me. With only my eyes I told him to do something. He then pulled me so that I was standing behind him.

"Calm down? You want me to calm down? Why don't you shut the fuck up so that I can-" Liam cut him off.

"Why don't we all just calm down okay. No need for any of this." I was relived Liam finally said something.

"Yeah please, let's just go Z." I slowly reached out to grab Zayn's hand that was still in a fist. I was scared he was going to move it away. But he didn't, when I finally grabbed it he let go of the fist he was making and relaxed his hand into mine. Thank god.

Without saying another word the three of us started walking away, leaving Louis behind. I was so thankful that it didn't lead to a fight.

"She always fancied me and you know it, it was bound to happen sooner or later." Why would he say that. Without fully realizing I felt my hand become empty. Zayn was pacing towards the short boy who was now walking away in the opposite direction.

"ZAYN!" I screamed as I quickly turned back around.  Zayn had put his hands on on Louis shoulders to spin him around to face him. He then dug his fist with force into the short boys stomach. Louis let out a painful groan as he dropped to the floor holding onto his tummy.
