Will You Ever Stop Hurting Me?

Zayns pov

I thought about the whole situation, and what's happened. Clare saw all my scars and bruises and she hugged me! My heart litteraly fluttered. Shes such an amazing person. She didnt judge my scars one bit, she cared and gently touched them with her soft fingers. She forgave me, and helped me when my father was beating me. She punched him square in the jaw like she knew what she was doing.

She brought me to her house and took care of my injuries and I couldn't help but stare at her earlier. How concentrated she was. She cares. And she has been the only girl who has. My mom and sisters used to be in the picture, but they left me with that monster.Now here I am sleeping on the mattress next to her. I look towards her and see her sleeping. But then she starts to stir and speak.


"Please Keenan, don't I beg p-please NO!NO!NO!NO!" She screams.
I immediately i get up next to her and snow does too. She was still sleeping but crying. I didn't know what to do so I did what I use to do when my little sister would have nightmares. I held her in my arms and started singing to her gently.

"Give me love like her, cause lately I've been waking up alone. Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt, told you I'd let them go, and that I'll fight my corner, maybe tonight I'll call ya, after my blood turns into alcohol, No I just wanna hold ya," I sang while running my hand Down her hair.

Ed sheeran's music always calmed me down, and it helped Clare's breathing slow down. I wiped her tears away. Snow went back to the floor and I stayed where I was. What if she has another nightmare? All my thoughts got jumbled up and I soon fell asleep.

Clare's pov

I woke up with something wrapped around me. Wait someone. I turn my head to see zayn sleeping peacefully. All the events of yesterday came rushing through my head. I looked at zayn once again and wondered why he was holding me. But then I noticed how handsome he looked.


I couldn't stop staring either, he looked so innocent and peaceful.I snapped out of my staring and realized that we had to go to school. I started to gently lift his arms off of me but he stirred and wrapped around me again. I turned to look up at him and saw his eyes open slowly.

"Zayn get up. We have to get ready for school," I said. He just groaned.

"Five more minutes," he groaned. I laughed at him. I liked his hold on me but it just felt awkward, I'm not used to this. "You lazy ass, let go of me so I can get ready,"


"Why so you can leave me like they did?" He said. What is he talking about.

"What are you saying zayn?" Said. I think he realized what he just said and let go of me without saying anything. I wwas confused but decided not to ask about it. If zayn wanted to talk about it he will tell me. I ignored it and started to get ready.

once I was done I saw that zayn had got his clothes from yesterday on. His clothes were fine, but his cheek was red. I didn't realize I was staring until he looked at me curiously. "You ready to go?"he asked. I nodded my head.

"wait zayn, let me cover up the redness on your cheek, don't want anyone to bother you with questions now do ya?" He looked shocked as if he were expecting me to say something else. But nodded his head after. I grabbed a Concealer that matched his skin tone, and started applying. I put on the powder so that the Concealer wouldn't get cakey by the end of the day.

Once I was done we headed out. School isn't that far from my house, so we just walked in silence. Awkward silence. But then I thought of something that was in my mind earlier.

"how did we end up cuddling last night?" I asked him.yeah that probably wasn't the best thing to ask in an awkward situation but it's better than nothing right?

"you had a night mare and started screaming so I held you to calm you down and fell asleep after," he said quietly. What was up with him today? Was it because if what he said earlier?

"zayn are you okay? You seem off," I asked. He sighed.

"just not ready for the shit people are gonna say today about the situation in the cafeteria. I know a shitload of rumors are already going around, just wait till we walk in together. Everyone will be hella confused," he said. I chuckled thinking about everyone's confused face.

"don't care about what they think zayn, they can think whatever but they dont know what happened afterwards.ignore the rumors and stupid people," I told him while smiling.

he stared at me curiously. "Why didn't you take your own advice?" He asks. I shrug. I honestly had No idea why. Soon we arrived at the school gates. "Ready?" I ask. "Ready."
