There's No Such Thing As Too Young

*Zayn's POV*

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Harry asked, walking behind me with the rest of the group.

School had gotten out an hour ago, and we had all gathered at mine and Drella's house to prepare for this confrontation.

Drella had begged me not do this, but for once I actually refused her wishes, she wasn't happy to say the least as she thought that I was going to get into trouble.

"Yep." I replied to Harry, turning down the street that the craft store was on.

I stopped walking and held my arm out, causing Louis to bump into it.

We all looked ahead to where there was a group of four teenagers hanging around the opening of the alley that Emily had told me about.

Bingo.

There were Two girls, One was blonde and the other was a mousey brunette, they were both dressed completely inappropriately for slightly chilly weather.

They resembled whores that I saw on each tour I was on.

There were also Two guys, both who were wearing varsity jackets and looked like they were pumped with steroids.

I'm pretty sure that if you stuck a needle in their arm muscles, they would deflate pathetically.

"There they are." I smirked.

"Let's do this." Louis mumbled from beside me, squaring his shoulders.

One thing that had occurred over the time that Drella and I had been dating, was that Louis had become insanely protective over Drella, especially because of the fact she didn't have a male peer in her life apart from me and it had something to do with his childhood.

Each of us nodded, starting up our steady pace once again and heading towards the group.

I couldn't help the grin that spread across my face when we reached them.

I'd been waiting for this moment for ages.

Louis, Liam, Niall and Harry all stood behind me, letting me initiate this.

The teens looked at us in fright when we surrounded them, but they quickly composed their selves.

"Can we help you?" The blonde girl asked, her hand resting on her hip.

I noticed she had a gold necklace around her neck with the letter 'M' hanging off it, suggesting to me that this was Megan.

"Yeah, you can actually, you can back the fuck off my girlfriend." I snarled.

Megan jumped slightly and as soon as I spoke, the two guys stepped on either side of her, having her back while the second girl scuttled backwards into the alley, quickly departing.

"I don't know who you're talking about." Megan grinned, picking at her manicured nails.

I smirked back.

"Drella Young, I understand you and your pathetic group of followers decided to hold her down and throw water over her yesterday, slut."

"Watch your mouth, dude." The tallest guy growled, leaning forward.

Louis and Liam stepped closer.

"I'll say what I want, when I want. Now, which One of you held her down?" I questioned, removing my sunglasses and tucking them into the collar of my shirt.

"I held that skank down." The shorter One grinned proudly, crossing his arms across his chest.

"How old are you?" I wondered.

"Seventeen." He replied.

Okay, he's not quite old enough, but I'm still gonna kick his ass.

I nodded thoughtfully at him, rubbing my knuckles.

In an instant I had the kid pinned against the alley wall, my arm tight across his throat.

He fought to push me away but I growled.

The tall guy moved forward and attempted to grab me, but Louis grabbed his arms and pulled them behind his back, slamming him face first into the brick wall.

Megan screeched, but Liam, Niall and Harry didn't allow her to leave.

The kid I had against the wall was slowly losing the color from his face.

"I hope you're proud of yourself for bruising my girlfriend's arms." I barked.

"I'm so-sorry! It was M-Megan's idea." He gasped, clawing at my arm.

I released him but before he could get away, I grabbed his collar and landed a firm punch to his face, sending him flying to the ground.

He howled in agony.

"Nathan!" Megan screamed, trying to push past the guys.

He held his face and looked up at me in fright.

"The next time you lay hands on Drella, you'll have more than a broken jaw and bruised ass, do you fucking understand?" I spat, my temper flaring even though I'd already sent this kid to the floor.

He nodded quickly as best he could, trying to hide his face but I could clearly see the tears rolling down his cheeks.

What a wuss, he couldn't even take a punch.

I walked out of the alley and headed towards Megan.

"Stay the hell away from Drella, I refuse to hit a girl, no matter how badly I want to, but I know guys that aren't fussy." I snarled, leaning down to look her in the eyes.

She agreed and her bottom lip started to quiver.

Liam, Niall and Harry allowed Megan to run over to Nathan, who was still lain on the ground.

Louis released the other guy and pushed him away.

He was trembling as he gathered with his friends.

The guys and I all looked at each other with satisfied faces.

"Let's go home." I muttered, rubbing my now sore knuckles.

The guys nodded and we made our way to our cars that were parked a short distance away.

I somehow managed to drive home with one hand, with the guys behind me in their vehicles.

Drella dived on me as soon as I walked into the house, dragging me into the kitchen to inspect me over.

"What happened? Are you hurt? Di-" Drella attempted to question, looking at me.

I shut her up with a deep kiss, firmly holding her face and ignoring the throb that came from my knuckles.

Drella sighed into my mouth, pulling away slowly and holding onto my wrists.

We started at each other for a second before we were joined by our friends.

"They won't be bothering you anymore, Drella." Liam grinned, walking over to us and enveloping her into his arms.

She laughed against him

"Thank you, guys. I hope none of you are hurt, you really didn't need to do anything for me."

"You're family now, Drella. We protect each other, no matter what." Harry smiled.

The others agreed.

"Group hug!" Niall yelled, dashing over to Liam and Drella, wrapping them in his arms.

We all laughed and joined in, holding each other tightly.

Me, Drella, Louis, Emily, Niall, Liam, and Harry.

Harry meant it when he said we protected each other.
