"Yes..me." He answered.

"Why? Why did you do this to me? I TRUSTED YOU! I THOUGHT YOU CARED FOR ME ROHAN!!" I shouted and broke down. He looked up and came towards me.

"Don't.. touch me..." I warned him. He stopped. I still couldn't get this through my head, it felt like a nightmare.

"From when?" I asked in a low voice.

"The day I met you." He answered. My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. He has liked me for quite a long time..

*Flashback*

It was the first day of my college. I wasn't the type of girl which was daring, carefree or which will snap back at someone. I was the shy, quiet one. I didn't know how my daring nature changed to that one.

I entered the college premises. The thing I was most scared of, was that Muskaan wasn't there with me. She chose commerce, while I chose science. We had completely different schedules. So, I was all by myself, no friends at all.

"Hey.. freshy?" Some girl yelled behind me, making me stop in my track. I looked behind.

"What? Goongi hai kya? Jawaab de!" (Are you mute? Answer me!) She yelled. I nodded my head.

"Yess..." I said, she smirked.

"Follow me.." she said. I thought she was helping me, so I followed her. I was a failure when it came to recognising people, and I realised it that day. She led me to the lockers and banged me on one of them. I flinched by her sudden behaviour.

"See that guy there.." She pointed at her left. There was a cute guy, definitely older than me, standing there with some books in his hand. Talking on his phone.

"Is he a senior?" I asked. She chuckled.

"That's our biology professor, Manik Shah." She said and I nodded my head.

"No, don't worry.. He's all yours. I won't even think about him!" I blurted out. She rolled her eyes.

"Listen to me first!" She said in a bored tone. I nodded.

"Go and ask him out on a date." She ordered, making my eyes go wide. I shook my head. She gripped my wrist harder, making me slightly hiss.

"If you don't, I'll beat the hell out of you!" She exclaimed.

"And bully you for the rest of your year.. Its your choice." She added. I nodded my head and she let me go.

I slowly made my way towards Mr. Shah, and was scared to death. What if my parents find out about it? I looked back at her, she rolled her sleeves up, threatening me. I gulped.

"Excuse me, Prof. Shah." I said, he looked at me. My heart was about to explode due to fear. He talked on his phone for some more seconds and then kept it back in his pocket.

"Yes."

"Actually I.. um.. I'm new here." I said. He raised his eyebrow.

"And.." He gestured to continue.

"And I-I-I.." I started stuttering "...wanted to-to... um.." I stopped and cursed myself in my mind. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.

"Iwantedtoaskyououtonadate!" I spoke rapidly. He gave me a questioning look.

"Sorry I didn't catch it.." he said.

"She said she wanted to know the date of science exhibition." Another voice spoke from behind me. I turned around to see a guy, around my age, standing behind me. What the hell?

"Oo.. so why are you nervous?" He asked chuckling. I shrugged my shoulders. "The dates will be announced soon, you have to wait." I took some time to process it and nodded my head. He walked away and I facepalmed myself. Now I'll be bullied for the rest of the year, great! I turned to the boy.

"Why did you do that?" I asked him.

"What do you think you were doing? He's our professor!" He exclaimed, I rolled my eyes.

"It was a dare! It was not like he would actually go out with me." I stated.

"He would.." He said. I looked at him.

"What?" I asked.

"Come on! He's just 4 years older than you. And you're really beautiful.." he said, but when he realised, he started stuttering.

"I-I mean you.. you're... umm.. you look good." I blushed lightly. I was never good at receiving compliments..

"Hey! Why did you interrupt her Rohan?" The girl said smacking his head.

"She's my friend Roma! Don't bully her!!" He said to her. She rolled her eyes.

"Says the one who's the bully master of the college.." she whispered, but I heard it. He smacked Roma's arm.

"Welcome to the college, I'm Rohan" he said and held his hand out for me.

"Aisha..." I shook his hand. He smiled at me.

"We're the seniors.. you can come to us if you have any problem." I nodded and gave him a smile.

*End of Flashback*

That time, I actually decided that I'll not see him again. But we met many times. Roma and me were on good terms. My friends were mostly seniors. He led me out of my small bubble. I started interacting more and gained confidence. I wasn't quiet and shy anymore, credits to him. He was one of my best mates. But this incident completely changed my opinion about him.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked.

"I was afraid that you'd friend-zone me.." Of course I would. I never thought of him like that.

"You had relationships, but I knew they would never last. Cause you were never the one who'll give in just for your relationship, if you know what I mean.." he said and I nodded.

"Please leave me. You'll get someone better than me." I said. He shook his head.

"I know you're the one for me. That Zayn guy won't love you like I do, ever. He's just a spoilt brat." Oh he didn't!

"So what are you Rohan? You'll never make me yours by insulting Zayn. I know him better than you do!"

"I can love you more than him!!"

"No you can't!! No one can!!"

"Then I will steal his love and he'll not be able to anything.." He said with a sly smile. What is he? Dumb?

"Love cannot be stolen Rohan, you need to win it! And trust me, you have zero chances left..." His smiled dropped. There were some seconds of silence.

"Leave me alone..." I said with no emotion. But on the inside, I was burning with anger.

"List-"

"Please!" I raised my voice. He approached towards me with anger and grabbed my neck again. My eyes widened in surprise.

"Rohan.. you're.... hurting... me." I managed to say.

"I thought acting sweet will make you change your decision.. But no.." He said and threw me on the bed. I coughed a couple of times. He wasn't the same Rohan I knew. He wasn't the sweet, caring guy I've always seen. He was changed.

"And yea, don't expect me to be all goody goody. I was always like this, I was trying to change for you. But the change ain't worth it." He snapped at me and left the room, locking the door again.

I sat on the bed and hugged my knees. I cried my heart out. I felt really bad. He was one of my closest friends from the past 4 years. When Muskaan wasn't there, he was always by my side. He did something which I never expected, he hurt me. And it broke my heart.

I thought about Zayn, he would be so worried right now. Even the boys would be. My throat was dry due to all the crying and screaming, I didn't had anything from hours. I looked at the water bottle Rohan left. But.. can I trust him? Maybe I can. I approached the bottle and picked it up. Should I drink it? Its just water. Its not like he mixed something in it. But what if he did? He was my friend at one time, atleast I can trust him on water. I sighed and drank the water. Nothing happened.. I drank some more and stood leaning against the wall, staring intently at the pendant. There was only one question in my mind right now..

Will I ever be able to see Zayn again?

My eyelids started feeling heavy and I became dizzy. Wow! I can't even trust him on water... I try to stable myself, in which I miserably fail. Soon, I collapsed on my place, drifting to sleep.

Zayn's POV

"O God!! I hope she's okay... I hope he didn't do anything to her..." Sophia spoke as she paced around the room.

"Me too.." I said quietly, tears brimming my eyes, my head in my hands as I sat on the couch, waiting impatiently for that one call. We were all at Liam's place, after informing the cops and Simon about this.

It's been hours... To be honest, I'm scared. I'm scared that I'll lose her, I don't want to. She's my everything. I'm trying my best to stay patient. Thank God, the lads and the girls are here with me, or I would have probably gone crazy by now.

"Zayn how are you so calm? That guy kidnapped her!!" Eleanor shouted. I frustratingly tug my hair.. why hadn't they called yet?!

"Are you even listening?" She asked again.

"Yes I am.." I raise my voice, looking at her. She looked a bit surprised.

"Lad... stay calm.." Louis said. I took a deep breath.

"That's what I'm trying to do.." I reply in a normal tone as tears flow down.

"I-I'm sorry.. I am.. just.. I'm a bit scared. Fuck! A hell lot scared!! What if she gets hurt? What if... what if w-we never get to see her a-again..?" El replied in a cracked voice. I looked at her and looked down again. My fingers fiddled around my rings more rapidly, while I tapped my foot constantly. I finally got up and started pacing around the room, as my eyes fill again. She probably scared me more.

"El.. sorry, but that didn't help. Zayn, she'll be fine. We'll find her, okay?" Niall stepped forward and comforted me. I thanked him.

Louis' POV

I'm really scared, all of us are. Zayn's state has been miserable, he hasn't ate anything since the guy called. To be honest, I wanna rip that guy's head off.... All of us love Aisha. It won't be easy if anything happened to her. NO! Nothing is going to happen.

Suddenly, Zayn's cell rang. He jumped in surprise, but received it quickly.

"Hello?..." his expressions changed to relief "... It's done?.... are you... are you sure?...." he became happy, with tears in his eyes "...yea... thank you, thanks a lot." He kept his cell in his pocket and looked at us.

"Niall, Louis.. Go to the cops and bring them to the address I tell you... Liam, Harry. Come with me.. Girls, stay here.. we'll be back..."

He said and rushed out of Liam's house. What's wrong with him? I rushed behind him and stopped him.

"Zayn, care to tell us what's happening?" I asked as he took a deep breath.

"I-I know where she is... just.. just do what I told you.. please." He said and I nodded my head. A huge wave of relief washed over. Wait, how does he know?

"Wait...How do you know?" I stopped him again. He frustratingly rolled his eyes.

"Lou, mate.. I'll tell you later... please, we don't have time." I sighed and nodded my head in realisation. Yea, she's in danger. We can't waste time..
