The Exchange.

~~~2 weeks later Hayden's POV.~~~
ive been here 2 weeks and already gotten so close with everyone. Even me and harry are pretty close. Me and Eric are dating...2 week ago he popped the question and I've grown so close to him, I said yes and since then I've been more than happy.

me and the lads were heading out for a dinner together, I met there girlfriends and we all get along like we've known eachother forever. I'm so much happier hear...this was the best decision ever.

Harry led me into the restraunt and quickly stopped scanning the room for familiar faces.

"there!" I said pointing to a table in the far corner nearly impossible to see. Harry quickly headed over with me right behind.

" There u are! What took ya so long!" zayn said ushering between us.

" I don't no ." I said sitting next to niall. They looked at harry with a small scowl as to say " don't do anything stupid" and turned to me smiling.

" hello how can I.....hey Hayden!" A familiar voice says.

" Eric? Ur a waiter!" I say with a giggle. Here laughs and nods. I notice harry is glaring and mentally thank Eric for ignoring it. The others introduce themselves. When everyone is acquainted we take our orders. I'm a little more shy eating infront of people so I just get a salad and water.

Eric comes back with our drinks and stops for a moment.

" Hey Hayden i forgot to congratulate you! I herd about ur scholarship promotion the dean offered you!"

" thanks Eric! I'm so excited I've started writing and everything, I need some help on the song though..., maybe u can come over and help! Ur in music!" His smile grows.

" I'd love to!" I swear if we were alone he'd be
fangirling by the look on his face.

" Hey we can help to...I meen were a world famous band and all!" Louis says sassily. I giggle

" of course Lou! I need as much help as I can get."

"well I have to go before my boss kicks my ass. Night Hayden." Eric leans down placing a kiss on my cheek. I swear if Harry's jaw clenches anymore it will pop. It's pretty obvious he's jealous...but...I don't no if I have the same feelings.

as soon as Eric's gone harry is quiet. The others are all explaining music we could work on.

"hey! Hayden what kind of music have u already written?" Liam asks. I hesitate befor pulling my journal from my purse. It's not just a song book...but a what I call weight lifter. When somthing becomes to much I write it hear and it helps a bit. But not as much as el did when we talked today.

" What's that?" Harry's suddenly talking.

" my song journal...I put everything in hear...I have one song in particular I was considering finishing but...I don't no if it's good enough....." My cheeks are flush with embaressment as they stare at me.

"can we see...?" El asks softly. I look at her then to my book. I quickly shuffle through the hundreds of filled songs until a square of paper falls out. I unfold it reading the few lines of lyrics befor handing it to them. Eleanor grabs the paper and they all crowed around reading it. When they retun to there seats el hands it to me. " that's really good!" I can't help but blush.

"Oh no, did I get too close?
Oh, did I almost see what's really on the inside?
All your insecurities
All the dirty laundry
Never made me blink one time Unconditional, unconditionally!" Niall sings loudly. I smile, the lyrics sound good Comming from him.

"u think I should finish it an use it?" They all quickly nod. I stand and give them all a hug.

" Ow!" I screech accidentally as harry hugs me by the waist. He quickly pulls away

" what! Are u ok." I sit down slowly.

" Ya! I ummmm hit my knee haha silly me!" I say looking to el. She half smiles and jumps in. We should be heading back! I think...

" Well let's head back to me and Hayden's flat for a movie?" Everyone agrees and we stand to leave when Eric comes back.

" hey hay hay!" I giggle at the WIERD nickname he's given me.

" Yes!" I say walking to him wrapping my arms around his shoulders pecking him on the lips. His hands rest on my upper back.

" Wanna come to my place for a movie. I miss my baby.." He says with a pout. I smile and look to the others for approval. El smiles and nods.

" Why don't u come with us Eric! We can get to no u better. I meen ur dating my best friend/ roommate!" El says happily.

i look to Eric as he nods.

" What the hell! Ok" he says making everyone laugh.

everyone grabs there things and leaves. Me and Eric ride with el and louis back to the loft.

when we get to our room everyone except me and Eric race to the movie shelf.

" Wow...there eager!" Eric says with a loud laugh. I shake my head.

" C'mon I need to put my pjs on." I say leading him to my room.

i quickly lead him in and point to the bed for him to sit.

" I'll be right back." I say going to my closet to change. I quickly stepping in and scanning the closet for some close. Me eyes fall on a comfy pair of sweat pants and tang top, with a thin long sleeve sweat shirt. Quickly stripping I slide them on. My bruises have healed to an extent there not as noticeable, so I don't have to wear much clothing but I still have a few huge dark ones that hurt like hell and for some reason don't seem to be going away.

i shrug it off sliding the soft pants on and moving for the tang top when the door clicks open.

" Ummmm Eric...I'm getting dressed...please go out..." I say holding my tang top over my bare skin. I notice a difference in Eric. His blue eyes are dark and he has a creepy smirk.

" Finally! I've been waiting for this for 2 fucking weeks while putting up with ur bullshit." He whisper yells. I squint, trying to understand what he meens fealing a pang of hurt.

" W-what?" I say backing into my cloths.

" Just shut up already!" He says pinning me to the wall earning a shriek. He grabs my tang top from my hand and pushes it into my mouth tying it behind my head. I struggle and kick letting out muffled screams in attempt to get free. Eric shoves me to the ground making my head clack hard to the marble floor.

i feel a warm sticky goo on my neck but am mainly focusing on Eric at this point.

" you really are stupid huh!" He whisper yells. I'm so confused I just stare.

" look at me and tell me you don't remember me!" He says smashing his foot into my side. I shake my head franticly begging for him to stop but he doesn't. I focus on his features more running people I've met through my head when it clicks.. The day at the parking lot when chastitys boyfriend and his friends went after me.....Eric was there...he was one of the guys after me.....

I feal my heart shatter and every ounce of happiness and hope he'd given to me these two weeks break. His foot hits my chest making me gasp for air.

" I see that look. You do remember!" I let tears slip as the familiar pain rushes through me.

" This was chastitys special, it'll never be over plan...make u feel like ur actually wanted then rip it out from under you! You ugly little piece of shit!" His foot hits my cheek and I swear, the pain makes me think he broke my face. With in seconds he's hovering over me and his knees pierce my legs as he spreads them.

" I think the little slut wants to play huh?" He says with a smirk. I shake my head franticly realising what he means. Begging him not to.

he drags his hands down my lace braw onto my exposed skin making me shiver. I feal his hand and the lining of my pants and screech as he slips in them. The one thing in my head is were are the others!? Do the not hear this? I mentally yell at myself...I took my boyfriend to my room! They must think I'm...ugh!

I try try to scream but the tank top muffles it. I feal a sting as Erica hand strikes me. My burning cheek throbs as I continually thrash around to get free.

eric shifts his position so his knees are on my legs keeping them still and spread. One of his hands pin mine above my head while the other squishes my cheeks.

" stay still or I swear I'll make it worse!" He hisses.

I'm new to this tone,it's dark low and very scary. I instantly stop as my legs go numb and turn my head squeezing my eyes shut whimpering for help.

I feel his hand slide into my sweats once more and play with the hem of my under wear befor pushing it to the side. I squirm uncomfortably as he ruffly presses his finger onto my center. The fealing is foreign and uncomfortable for me. I let out a shriek for help again and wince expecting a slap. Instead he stares me down and says.

" fine...I guess I won't be nice and make this easier!" Within seconds he rests his weight on me so I won't move and slams two of his finger in my entrance making me scream into the tang top.he moves his fingers in and out fast causing a immense burning sensation in my lower half.

I whimper trying to move but there's no avail. After a few minutes of pain he removes his hand and I feal a bit of reliefe. He waists no time in ripping my pants down along with under wear. He lets my hands go giving me a " move and I'll hurt u" look and grabs a package from his pocket.

He sits me up ripping another one of my tang tops off the shelf and uses it to tie my hands behind my back. I shriek as he slams me back into the floor.

He unzips his jeans and pulls them and his boxers down slightly letting his member spring free. My eyes widen..no...please no... He slides the condom over his length and looks at me with a smirk. I shake my head whimper but he doesn't listen. He slams into me without warning making me scream as loud as I ever have into the tang top. He quickly reacts by placing his hand on my mouth.

He thrusts into me so hard and fast the pain keeps getting worse. After about 10 minutes he gets off me panting. Quickly fixing himself he pulls his pants up and walks out leaving me tied up naked on the floor....I lay for about twenty minutes crying and shaking. I pulled myself into a ball and sobbed...he was right...I am ugly...I can't believe I fell for the fact someone could like me....my whole lower half was on fire, and my body sore and probably once again badly bruised.

After about 30 minutes from when Eric left I hear laughter in the hall.

" that movie was hilarious!" Louis voice echoes.

" c'mon mate! Lighten up! I no ur just jealousy about Hayden and Eric." Zayn said. I herd harry scoff and there was a silence.

" guys shhhhh she's asleep. U heard Eric she had a headache.." They thought I was asleep!?
I mustered up all the energy I had left and screemd into the tang top hoping someone would help me.i heard my door open and then shut.

" Hayden....it's el? Were are you?" I let out a muffled screem. My body going limp and black dots decorating my vision. I was exausted.

My closet door flung open revealing Eleanor who immediatly rushed to my side.

"O MY GOD, what happened!" Eleanor said removing the bindings. I couldn't talk. My mouth and throa were dry, I was exausted and in so much pain.

Eleanor helped me slip my pants on and pulled me into my room were the guys came rushing in. As SOOn as they saw me niall and Liam rushed to my side taking me from el and setting me on the bed.

As soon as my ass touched the bed I winced jumping up In pain.

" Hayden! What happened!?" Harry said rushing to my side.

I shook my head as fresh tears fell. I needed comfort and harry was offering it. I buried my head in his neck and let out loud sobs. Harry's hand rubbed my back reasuringly as the others stood baffled and watched.

" Hayden.....did....did Eric...rape u?" Eleanor said shakily.
Just her saying that made me flinch. I nodded my head in Harry's neck and felt his grip protectively tighten around me. His chest heaved as his breaths quickend and his jaw clenched. I took a deep breath trying to calm myself. My nose was filled with his minty smell and I was dazed. Sitting in his arms made me so comfortable...I felt...safe...

I felt myself get drowsy and started hiccuping as my sobs dyed down.
" we should let her rest...well deal with it tomorrow.." Harry said.

For a few moments no one said anything and then there was shuffling out of my room.

I felt Harry's arm snake under my knees and pick me up bridal style. I kept my head in his neck not wanting to move.

I felt harry lay me in bed and pull the warm duvet over me. His soft lips pressed to my forehead sending tingles down my spine.

" get some rest love...well deal with it in the morning."
I felt him pull away and instantly felt my fear come back.

" wait!" I said groggily turning slowly towards him. He stopped and looked at me.

"Will you...stay...I'm scared..." I admitted. He nodded not saying anything and ripped his shirt and pants off leaving himself in his briefs. My eyes wandered his nicely shaped chest and features...wow....

He slowly climbed into the bed and scooted close wrapping his arms around my waist genetally. I whimpered as he hit one of my sore spots and he immediatly stopped pulling me in.

I took it upon my self and scooted into him burrying my head in his chest and wrapping my arms around his waist. His arms went around my shoulders while he rested his head on mine.

" get some sleep love...I'm here..I'm not letting anyone hurt you." He said kissing the top of my head. I immediatly flt safe...I don't no why but harry managed to calm me in seconds....no one ever can..not that I've had anyone care enough to try...I no he likes me...and now I'm starting to wonder...do I like him?
