Second Chances

*Zayn's POV*

I was sat in the cafeteria with a few old friends that I ditched after meeting Harry.

I was just using them as an excuse to be here.

I was still avoiding Harry, and to my surprise, Ana was actually in school today.

She looked slightly better today, but her clothes were still hanging off her.

I stayed up all night thinking about what she said, how she carelessly told me she was giving up baby my up for adoption.

There was no way I was letting her give my child away to strangers.

I wasn’t exactly thrilled about finding out I was going to be a dad, but by no means was I going to abandon my baby.

Ana had left a gnarly bruise on my cheekbone from the book she threw at me yesterday.

Mom was less than pleased.

I couldn’t actually tell her what was going on, so I just passed it off as getting in a scuffle.

I was currently staring at the table Ana, Harry, and Kat were sitting at.

Ana was looking down at the table, avoiding the gaze of everyone who was talking about us.

“Zayn, you getting wasted with us tonight?” Niall asked , knocking my elbow.

“Erm no, I have stuffed to do.” I mumbled, resting my chin on my hands as I continued to look at her.

She looked up and caught my gaze, narrowing her eyes and turning to speak to Kat.

I sat up alert when I saw her grab her bag from underneath the table and stand up, walking out of the cafeteria.

I jumped up without saying a word sprinting after Ana.

I managed to catch up with her and she turned away as she heard my footsteps.

She growled and tried to walk faster, but I effortlessly caught up with her grabbing her elbow and spinning her around to face me.

“Get off me.” She growled.

“No, we need to finish talking!” I spat back.

“You can either let me go or I’ll give you another bruise, but this time not on your face.” She warned glancing at my crotch.

I immediately let go, not wanting my balls shoved back inside my body.

Ana started walking away again.

“Ana, please. I just want to talk! I want to help you and support you!” I confessed watching her walk away from me.

She froze in the middle of the empty hallway.

She slowly turned around.

“I needed you from the start Zayn. Why are you so concerned about helping me now? I’ve told you I’ve made up my mind.”She said quietly.

I walked towards her.

“Then let me support you with it. I just want to be part of that baby’s life.”

“It won’t be ours though, will it? Zayn, I don’t know what to do.” She sniffled, covering her eyes as she turned away from me.

I quickly pulled her into me and into a storage cupboard that was conveniently next to us.

I shut the door and turned on the light holding Ana close to me.

She cried into my neck wetting my hoodie with her tears.

I was so shocked she was letting the walls she’d built herself around crash down so quickly and especially in front of me.

I rubbed her back feeling so guilty that I was the reason for causing her so much pain.

“I’m so sorry.” I whispered into her hair.

“What for?” she squeaked pulling away from me and wiping her eyes.

“For doing this to you.” I replied motioning to her stomach.

She pulled her jacket around herself hiding from my gaze.

“I’m sorry for bruising you.” She murmured suddenly residing back behind the walls.

“ I deserved it. Um, Ana?”

“Yeah?”

“Can I come with you to your doctor’s appointment today?” I asked shyly.

“I don’t know. My mom didn’t exactly react well yesterday….” She trailed off looking at me sadly.

“Never mind. It was stupid to ask. Uh, I’ll see you soon. Say sorry to your mom for me.” I muttered rubbing my neck and grabbing the door handle.

Before I can turn the handle, a hand was placed over mine.

I looked up at Ana.

“You can come Zayn. Forget what my mom thinks. You’re the father and you deserve to be there.”

“Really?” I smiled suddenly excited at the chance of seeing my baby later.

“Yeah. Will you come and pick me up later?” she asked dropping her hand once she realized it was resting over mine.

“Yeah of course. What time?” I nodded and grinned.

“Four. My appointment is four thirty.”

“I’ll see you then!”

Ana smiled lightly, before grabbing her bag and turning the door handle walking out without another word.

I rubbed my cheek.

I guess I was finally getting somewhere with her, and I just hoped that nothing was going to ruin it.
