Melanie's P.O.V:

My eyes quickly shot open as soon as I heard the sound of my alarm, ringing. What I saw next, wasn't what I expected. My head was not on the pillow, but on Zayn's chest, and my arms were wrapped around him, while one of his hand was resting on my waist, holding me close to him.

I tried to get up quickly, but Zayn tightened his grip on my waist, still sleeping. I needed to get up, I couldn't stay like that, also it was time to go to school. I slowly held his hand up, and tried to get out from his grip, but he turned to my side and again held me by my waist.

"Stay," he mumbled against my shoulder, his eyes still closed.

"I..I have to go," I stuttered. Why was I stuttering? Yeah, because Zayn Malik was almost on top of me.

"Don't," he mumbled in his sleepy voice. His voice against my ear was sending chills down my spine, he was so close to me. We were only inches apart, and it was bringing goosebumps on my skin.

I moved his hand away from my waist and tried to get up when he again pulled me back.

"Stay for a while," he said, he was still half sleeping. Maybe, he was sleep talking?

"I have to go to school, it's six am." I muttered, laying beside him. Well, almost in his arms.

"Mel, stay. Please?" He pleaded. Did he just call me Mel? It was the first time he ever called me that, and the way he called out, it was different from the others. It felt beautiful, to be honest.

I turned around to face him, his face only one inch away from mine and saw his eyes closed, his beautiful eyelashes resting on his cheeks. My hands reached his cheeks, and I began to stare at him. He looked so beautiful, but those bruises on his face, were making me want to slap myself. My fingers found their way to the bruise on his left eye and then to the cut on his lips. What was I doing? I needed to control myself. He had a girlfriend, I couldn't do that. I quickly turned over and removed his hand from my waist, getting up from the bed and heard him groan.

"I gotta go.." I muttered, and grabbed my phone from the side. I began to walk out of the room, when I stopped and turned my head to see him, still sleeping. Before starting to have any second thoughts, I quickly got out of Liam's room and walked downstairs.

I was about to dial Liam's number and tell him to come over, when I heard his door bell ring. I quickly headed towards the door, to find Liam standing there and greeted me with a smile.

"I was going to call you now, I'm leaving." I said, smiling and he stepped inside.

"Yeah, I brought your sister's car back." He said, smiling at me.

"Thanks,"

"I hope you and Zayn didn't-"

"No, we didn't do anything, it was just that I was blabbing a lot so he kissed me and I kinda kissed back. But it didn't mean anything to both of us, trust me." I said, quickly cutting of Liam' sentence and his eyes widened.

"You and Zayn what? Woah! Wait-what? No, no, no, no. Wait, again WHAT?" Liam's jaw was almost touching the floor, with his eyes wide open.

"I said, it didn't mean anything." I muttered, looking down and felt my cheeks burn because of the embarrassment.

"I was gonna say that, I hope you and Zayn didn't kill each other. But the response I got from you was unbelievable. Did you guys actually kiss?" Shit, he was asking something else, and I assumed that he was talking about- Melanie Philips you're such an idiot.

"Liam, Zayn is in your room, and he's still sleeping. I'm leaving okay?" I said, completely ignoring his previous question.

"Yeah okay, but where did you sleep last night?" He said, handing me the car keys of my sister.

"In your room, bye." I said, rushing out of his home.

"Okay, bye-Wait, Zayn is also sleeping there?" He asked, his mouth wide open.

Shit! That was not going well. I quickly opened the car's door and got inside the car, ignoring Liam's questions.

"You coming to school?" I asked and he shook his head.

"I'm going to stay with him, since he's injured." He said. "Did you guys sleep-"

"Bye Liam!" I yelled, starting the car and leaving for my house. From the side mirror I saw Liam laughing at me, making me more embarrass.

Thirty minutes later, I reached my home and was in my room, getting ready for the school, when my sister came and sat on my bed.

"What happened last night?" She asked me.

"He kissed me," I mumbled, combing my hair. A moment later, it hit me when I realized what I just said. She didn't even ask anything like that, but I being I, had to blurt out everything. It's just that the flashbacks of that kiss were not leaving me alone.

"What?" She asked, in confusion.

"A lot of things happened, I'll tell you after coming back from school." I said, adjusting my clothes in the mirror and applied some light pink lip gloss.

"You look pretty today," she said, wiggling her eye brows at me in a teasing manner.

"Why, thank you." I said, picking up my bag from the side and walking downstairs, with her following me behind.

In the meantime, I got a text from Waliyha, telling me to come outside. We soon reached the school and I waited for her in the hallways, while she parked her car.

I was standing next to my locker when I saw Nolan come from the front, with bandages and bruises all over him, just like Zayn.

"Oh God, please don't come here," I mumbled to myself, and quickly opened my locker's door, hiding my face behind it.

I peeked through the door and found him coming towards me. "Don't come here, don't come here, don't come here," I kept mumbling it in fast speed, when I saw a shadow in front of me.

"Hey Mel," I heard Louis' voice which made me sigh in relieve.

"Hey, Louis." I said, closing my locker's door and found Louis standing in front of me and Nolan next to him. Oh God!

"Melanie, can I talk to you for a second?" Nolan asked me calmly.

"Uh..um..is it important?" I asked him and Louis looked at me, getting confused.

"Yeah, I need to talk to you." He said and I nodded. I didn't want Louis to know what happened last night, that was the reason I was talking calmly with Nolan.

"I'll see you later, Mel." Louis said, glaring at Nolan and leaned forward to whisper something in my ears.

"I know what happened between him and Zayn, in the school. If he says something else to you, just call me okay?" He whispered in my ears. I nodded and he left before giving me one of his sweet smiles.

"I don't want to talk to you!" I snapped at Nolan as soon as I saw Louis' figure leaving the hallways.

"Hey, I just need to say that I'm sorry.." he said, looking at me.

I looked at him and couldn't figure out if he was honest or not. He was biting his lip and staring directly at me.

"Are you serious? After everything you just come up here and say that you're sorry. Just because of you Zayn is suspended and because of you he is injured. I got so scared when he fainted yesterday. I thought that.. that something bad happened to him. I was scared that I was going to lose him- I..I mean his family and friends..what I'm saying is that I'm a jerk.. I mean you're a jerk. Okay everyone is a jerk." I snapped, and covered my mouth quickly. What the hell just happened? I was seriously blabbing in front of him and making myself a fool. I didn't even know how to snap at someone properly, except of Zayn. When I'm in front of Zayn, it just happens naturally. I gain confidence in front of him, when I'm with him I feel brave and strong, which is something weird.

"Umm.. I'm sorry." He said one more time, taking a step forward.

"I really am sorry.." he said, and I looked up at him. Still I wasn't able to figure out if he was honest or not. But I gave in, accepting his apology.

"It's fine, I guess. I'm not a slut just to remind you what you called me that day, and don't even lay your finger on him again." I said, before taking out my books from the locker and began to walk away from him.

"I'll stay away from you and him," he said, from behind me and I nodded, while walking away from him.

I hoped what he said was true because there was already enough drama in my life and I didn't want anymore.

The whole day passed really slowly, especially the history class. It was boring as usual, seat beside me empty. I attended only one class of history with him but I already felt his absence when he wasn't there arguing with me about stupid things or I snapping at him and he teasing me. I was sitting in the cafeteria with Waliyha, Lottie and Hazel as it was our break, and I seriously had no idea what they were talking about because I found myself lost in my thoughts. The thought of him kissing me, the thought of him cuddling with me last night and the way he told me to stay for a little longer with him, this morning. Everything was driving me crazy, because it wasn't us. We weren't like that.

"I heard you were with my brother last night," Waliyha said, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Who told you?" I asked her and she smirked, along with Lottie and Hazel.

"Of course I knew, your sister told my Mum and I got to know by my Mum." She said, and I nodded.

"So, what did you guys do? Is my brother still alive?" She asked, laughing.

"What do you mean?" I asked her. Did she know about Zayn and Nolan's fight? I was getting confused by her question.

"I mean, I hope you didn't kill him." She said, laughing and Lottie and Hazel chuckled.

"You guys were alone, at Liam's place?" Lottie asked me and I nodded, hesitantly.

Should I tell them about the kiss? They were my best friends, I thought I should tell them. But what if Zayn got angry at me for telling them about it, because it didn't mean anything to him...neither to me. I decided not to tell them about the kiss and kept my mouth shut.

"Did you guys....kiss or maybe..you know?" Hazel said, in a teasing tone, wiggling her eyebrows.

"No, we didn't." I quickly said, making them look at me suspiciously.

"We didn't, I swea- no, I don't swear. But we didn't do anything." I said, quickly. Sometimes I felt like I should never open my mouth because I was seriously so dumb, I didn't even know how to speak or lie.

"Hey guys!" I heard Harry's voice from behind me. Thank you for coming at the right time.

He, Niall and Louis walked to our table and settled with us, Louis sitting beside me.

"What was he talking about?" Louis whispered in my ears and I took a sip from my water bottle before answering him.

"He was apologizing for his behavior," I whispered back.

"Really? Did you forgive him?" He asked, still in a low voice as the conversation was only between us, and the others were busy laughing and cracking jokes.

"Yeah, I did." I said, and he smiled at me.

"Louis, I..uh.. wanted to talk to you-" before even I can complete my sentence, the school bell rang and our break was over.

"You were saying something?" He said, getting up from beside me.

"Yeah, I was saying that-"

"Melanie! Mrs. Penelope will kill us if we go late to our class, let's go." Lottie said, and held my hand dragging me away from the cafeteria.

"Louis, I'll talk to you later." I said, turning around, while Lottie dragged me to our Biology class.

"Liam Payne? Where is your assignment?" Mrs. Penelope called out for Liam in our Bio class when I answered her, telling her that he didn't come to school.

When she went out for a while, to talk to our Principal about something, I took out my phone from my bag and texted Louis.

To Louis:
Can you drop me home today? Wanna talk to you. Only if possible for you.

Not even a minute passed when I got a reply from him.

From Louis:
Sure, love. :) But is everything OK?

I smiled down at his text before replying to him.

To Louis:
Everything is fine, no need to worry. By the way, don't you have class right now?

I checked up to see if my teacher returned back, but she was still outside talking to our Principal. I looked at Lottie, waiting for Louis to answer me, when I found her eyes already on my phone.

"Hey! What are you staring at?" I playfully scolded her and she laughed.

"Texting my bro, huh?" She smirked at me and I shook my head at her, playfully.

From Louis:
I do have class, using my phone under the table. Talking to you would be my first priority rather than hearing Harry's snores beside me or listening to this boring lecture which is making all of us sleep.

I laughed at his reply and found Lottie's eyes again on my phone's screen.

"Okay, take it. Keep it with you, you text your own brother. I don't need my phone," I said, handing her my phone.

"Okay, okay, sorry, I will mind my own business now. You go on, flirt with him." She joked, laughing at me and I shook my head, not taking my phone back from her.

"No, you keep it. Keep staring at the screen for as long as you want." I said, faking to be pissed off at her, but in real I was just messing with her.

"Mel, I'll punch you in the face. I said, I'm sorry. I won't sneak now. You carry on texting him." She said, laughing and handed me my phone.

I laughed and stuck my tongue out at her, and she began to talk to the boy next to her. I checked my phone and saw three messages from Louis.

From Louis:
You there?

From Louis:
Mel? Did Mrs. Penelope take your phone?

From Louis:
Melanie? Are you okay?

I smiled before replying to him. He's so sweet and caring. How can I say 'no' to him?

To Louis:
I'm finnnnnneeeeeee. Your sister was messing with me so I was just returning the favour. :p

I waited a while for his reply, but didn't get any. Maybe he got pissed off because I didn't reply to him. So I decided to text him again.

To Louis:
Are you angry at me?

To Louis:
Louis are you pissed off? I swear I wasn't ignoring you. I was talking to Lottie.

To Louis:
LOUUUEEEEEH??

I know I might be looking like a desperate person but I didn't want him to be pissed off at me.

To Louis:
Lou Boo where are you? OK that was cheesy. But it's cute. Lou Boo :p

I kept my phone aside, waiting for his reply, but didn't get any. I guess he got mad at me maybe. After five minutes, I decided to mess with him and sent another text to him.

To Mr. Know It All:
Are you angry at me? Soowiiiieeee. Come baaaackkkkkkkk..

Shit! What did I do? When I checked to whom my last text was sent to, I got stunned.
