You Make Me Strong

It was the last period of the day, Gym class. Luckily I wasn't alone, both Trinity and Natalie were in my class. Liam, Louis, and Harry were also in this class, but I wasn't worried since Niall said they respected me.

"So!" Trinity's voice rang through out the gym. "The party tonight, are you going?" She asked Natalie and I. I nodded.

"Louis asked me to be his date." Natalie face turned a bright red color as she spoke. I smiled.

Awww, that's so cute.

"Niall told me he would love it if I could come, so I said I was going to be there." Trinity gave me an evil smirk once I finished what I was saying.

"Well then, you're going to have to look extra sexy tonight!" She squealed loudly.

"Who has to look extra sexy tonight?" I jumped slightly at the voice. Harry stood there smiling with his hands behind his back.

"Emi does." Natalie pipped up as Louis and Liam walked over. Louis eyed me and smiled.

"I swear to fucking Satan, if you keep giving me that creepy smile, I will beat the shit out of you with your own dick." I playfully glared at Louis.

"Damn, you have a mouth on you." All of us laughed and got weird looks from everybody else in the gym. "I keep giving you that 'creepy' smile because Niall hasn't had any interest in any of the girls in this school." I bite my lip and looked away.

"Louis is right. All Niall ever focuses on is his soccer." Liam backed Louis up and I groaned. All of them looked at me with confusion in their faces.

"I...ummm...."

"You've never had a boyfriend have you?" Harry poked my cheek and I smacked his hand away.

"I have only had one boyfriend and that was when I was 14 years old." I looked down at the ground. "To be honest, guys have never been interested in me." They all were quiet.

"Why the fuck not?" Trinity whispered yelled so nobody else heard her swearing. "You're fucking hot!" She giggled and I finally brought my eyes up to her. "Girl, if I was a lesbian, I would totally try to get you to be my girlfriend." I laughed along with her this time.

"Oh no." Liam was looking towards the door, and I couldn't help but follow his gaze. Zayn was walking in and he was coming towards us. A death glare was piercing through me. Liam pulled me behind him and I peeked around from behind him.

"Move Payne!" Zayn yelled, making me jump.

"No. You're not getting to her." Louis and Harry stood on both sides of Liam, shielding me from Zayn.

"I just want to talk to her." He said a little bit more calmly. I pushed past Louis and Liam.

"Talk then." I crossed my arms across my chest and glared at him. He grabbed my wrist and walked me towards the hallway. Once we were out in the hallway, he pushed me up against the wall and slammed his lips into mine. I instantly shoved him away and slapped him across the face, leaving a huge red mark.

"What the fuck?!" He yelled holding his face.

"Don't you EVER do that again!" I spat through my teeth, getting in his face. Anger rushed into his eyes. The next thing he did surprised me. His fist came into contact with my face. I stumbled backwards and hit the wall. He walked towards me as I slid down to the floor, holding my facing, whimpering. Zayn knelt down to me and roughly grabbed my face.

"I will do what I want. I don't need some freak bitch telling me what I will and will not do." He stood up and I just stayed on the floor. I thought he was going to walk away but he turned back around. "If you come to that party tonight, you'll regret it." Right then, Liam walked out of the gym and saw Zayn's face.

"Dude, what the fu-"

"Don't ask." He snapped, walking away from me and the situation. I started to cry from the pain and officially being scared of Zayn.

"Emi, what happened?" Liam sat down in front of me and took my hands away from my face to expose my, already swollen, cheek. "Did he do this to you?" Liam's voice was soft and caring.

"It was my fault. He kissed me and I pushed him away. I smacked him across the face and he punched me." I stared at Liam with pleading eyes. "Please don't tell anybody about this. I know he will do it again." He pulled me into a hug as I cried against his chest. "I can't go to the party tonight. He said if I go, I'll regret it."

"You're going to go, Emi." Liam stated sternly.

"Bu-"

"No buts. Niall would be crushed if you didn't show up. I'll keep an eye on you, but you know I'm going to have to tell Louis, Harry, and Niall, right?" I nodded. "They will watch over you too. We will not let Zayn do anything to you." I hugged him tightly.

"Thank you Liam." He hugged me back and kissed the top of my head.

I just want to go and have fun but Zayn is going to make that difficult.

Later that day: 7 o'clock.

Trinity and Natalie are sitting on my bed as I dig through my closet, trying to find something to wear. The key word there is trying.
"I think I found something." I pulled out a black and red corset dress. It was strapless and flared out into a tu-tu. Trinity shrieked and squealed. "I'm guessing that's a yes?" I questioned.

"Of course it is! That dress is gorgeous!" Natalie nodded her head in agreement. I smiled and went to shower.

Once out of the shower, I put some panties on and then slid the dress on. It fit rather nicely and I actually liked how I looked in it. When I walked into my bedroom, Natalie and Trinity were already dressed. I eyed them.

"We showered before we came over." Natalie stated before shrugging her shoulders. She was doing her make up while Trinity finished up with her hair. I stood at my full length mirror and applied my make up. Not a whole lot though, I didn't want to look trashy. I was finishing up my eye make up, glittery black with red eyeliner, when Trinity tapped my shoulder.

"Your turn." She grinned holding up a hair brush and some hairspray. I walked over to my desk and sat down so she could do my hair. She curled the back of my hair and teased it up a little to give it some volume. Thankfully she left my bangs straightened. After, what seemed like two cans of hairspary, she was done and we were getting ready to leave.

"Hey Emi, you might need some shoes." Natalie giggled pointing down at my bare feet. I laughed and put on some ankle socks with my combat boots.

"Alright girls! Let's go party!" Trinity jumped up and down, clapping her hands.

You can get through this night, Emi. Just remember that the guys are going to be looking out for you. Nothing is going to happen.

Or so I thought nothing was going to happen.
