{But I can't fix him, can't make him better, And I can't do nothing about this strange weather.}

Zayn is snuggle up against Xavier, both sleeping peacefully. Zayn fluttered his eyes open and immediately check his phone. He's gotten two miss calls, one from his mother and the other from Leroy.

Zayn checked the time and widen his eyes cuz he's about to be late to school.

"Xavier, please get up, we have to get to school." Zayn whispers into Xavier ears, slightly shaking him to awake up.

Xavier groaned and pulled Zayn closer, resting on his shoulder. Zayn wasn't comfortable at all. Zayn wanted to sleep all day with Xavier, but school had to take that away from them.

"Xavier, open his eyes slowly to meet Zayn's eyes, then glance down on his lips. Xavier can see Zayn's tongue in-between his lips. He moved a little closer to his lips, inches towards Zayn's lips.

"Xavier, you ok?" Zayn questioned confused.

"Xavier shook his head and out of bed, he wanted to kiss Zayn, but he didn't want to get attach to him. He thought about the mission to keep Zayn away from Niall. That's what he plans to do.

"I'm fine, let's head to school," Xavier says yawning, handing Zayn his glasses.

"Alright." Zayn cheers, fixing up the bed.

"Why are to fixing up the bed?"

"Aren't you suppose to do that?" Zayn questioned innocently.

"No, this is someone else's house, let them clean it."

"Oh." Zayn says in a uncertain tone. He wanted to fix the bed, so that's what he did.

Xavier chucked to himself and took a seat on the chair, while he watched Zayn fixed the sloppy sheets and fluff the pillows. Xavier examine how Zayn was so concentrated in making the bed perfect. His tongue began to poke out again. Xavier bit his bottom on the sight of this special boy. So innocent and lifelike.

Xavier felt bad for the boy, the way Zayn's pervious foster parent treated him. He didn't deserve that kind of abuse, Xavier doesn't want to treat Zayn like that, he didn't have to agree with Harry plan on hurting him. He didn't two fucks about Harry.

Harry was scared of Zayn taking away Niall from him, Xavier things, Niall and Zayn would be great together, Harry is just a mindless person who can't keep his Dick inside his pants. Xavier wouldn't mind keeping Zayn to himself for his own pleasure. Deep down he liked Zayn.

"All done." Zayn says smiling, making Xavier snap out of his thought.

"Finally, we about to be late, let's go."

****
The first period hell rang ten minutes ago. Zayn and Xavier burst into the classroom.

"Xavier, your late once again. I'm quite surprise that your late Zayn. Keep that in mind when hanging out with the wrong people." Mr. Spencer spat.

"Zayn can hangout whoever he wants to, don't be so rude to him asshole, if you want to get a attitude, then take it out on me." Xavier growled. He didn't want Zayn to feel like he's making a mistake.

"Xaiver, you have detention and you as well Zayn." Mr. Spencer says, with a smug look.

"But I didn't do anything." Zayn protest.

"Disturbing my class by coming in late and having a nonsense discussion about how I watch my tone is taking precious time from class." Mr. Spencer countered.

"You take that back, I will go to dentention, but Zayn is not responsible for my actions." Xiaver shouted.

"Oh, and what are you going to do about it." Mr. Spencer taunted. Xavier walks to the teacher and spoke into his ear.

"I won't hesitate to beat the crap outta you, if you don't let Zayn come to detention. Why you gotta be such a hardass on him? So what's it going to be?" Xavier questioned, his voice laced with hatred that made Mr. Spencer scared to death.

"Please don't fight, I don't wanna be in any more trouble." Zayn whispers to Xavier with pleading eyes. Zayn doesn't like any kind of violence, it makes him nervous and causing a scene in front of the whole class is embarrassing.

"Zayn, you don't have detention, but Xavier you do."

"That's wonderful, I'm glad you changed your mind. Things could've gotten ugly, if you didn't." Xavier grins darkly, putting him around Zayn and walking at the back of the class on taking their seats.

"Alright class, now we are going to get into groups of four and...." Mr. Spencer started, but there was a flash from the fire alarm on the ceiling.

"Alright class, get up and make your way out of the school building quietly until further notice." Mr. Spencer.

"What's going on?" Zayn questioned Xavier nervously.

Xavier took Zayn's hand and made their way out of the school building,

"It's ok, it's just a fire drill we get every few months or days. A lot of students like it cuz we get to leave the classroom for a little while." Xavier reassured.

Zayn nodded and took out his phone and gave it too Xavier.

"Put your number in my phone, please."

"Of course." Xavier says smiling typing his number into Zayn's and handing it back.

"Zayn! come over here." Leroy hollers from the right.

"Xavier, I'm going to see what Leroy wants, see you around?"

"Yeah." Xavier smiles, hugging Zayn.

Zayn detach himself off Xavier and walk quickly towards Leroy.

"Why haven't you answer my calls last night!? I've been worrying about you!" Leroy says loudly.

"I'm sorry Leroy. I was with Xavier and I slept with last night."

"You what!? How could you just sleep with someone like him!" Leroy exclaim.

"He's a nice guy and it was nice to sleep with someone."

"I can't believe you slept with him, you got it all wrong." Leroy says sadly.

All wrong? Did I had to put a blanket over me and Xavier when we sleeping?" Zayn questioned confused.

"Oh, you mean actually sleeping! thank god, I mean yeah, you always sleep with a blanket together. Everyone knows that." Leroy explains nervously, trying to hide his embarrassment.

"Oh ok, next time then." Zayn cheers.

Harry pushes the crowd of students that are waiting to be entering back in to the school building. Harry spotted Xavier and walked towards him.

"Hey." Harry says quickly. He wants to know how he's dealing with Zayn.

"Hey, what's up?" Xavier questioned.

"How are things with Zayn?"

"It's been great, he's amazing."

"Did you hurt him yet?"

"Whoa Harry, you need to chill, I actually like Zayn. I know you dislike him cuz he's been hanging around with your boy toy Niall, but he's harmless."

"I don't care, just do something to him, make him scared." Harry demanded.

"I will see what can I do."

"Alright." Harry huffs.

"Xavier, you need to come with me." Mr.Spencer snaps.

"Why the hell do I have to?"

"Their was a fire in the girls bathroom."

Xavier snorted, "what does the fire have to do with me, if it's in the girls bathroom. I was with Zayn."

"We are going to questioned him as well, just head into the school and into the principal office." Mr. Spencer babbled.

"What about the fire in the girls bathroom?"

"It's been taken care off." Mr. Spencer reassured.

"Alright." Xavier says, then walking into the school.

"Attention everyone!" Mr.Spencer booms, making all the students quiet and facing him.

"There's was a fire inside the girls bathroom, we are trying to figure who done it. So school will be cancel today, which is Thursday, but you will have school on Saturday for this mishap. Can't afford losing school days."

Students groan and leaving the school area.

"I need Leroy, Zayn, Harry and Niall to stay back." Mr. Spencer says loudly.

Zayn, Leroy and Harry gathered around Mr. Spencer.

"Why are we called?" Leroy questioned.

"There was a eyewitness saying you guys were hanging around the bathrooms that caught on fire."

"Yes, me, Harry and Niall were hanging outside of the bathroom area until the bell rang for first period. Zayn wasn't with us, who is this eyewitness?" Leroy questioned annoyed.

"I can't tell you."

"Right, cuz I'm going to beat his or her ass, if I get in trouble for something I didn't do. Do we look like girls to you? It happen in the girls bathroom." Leroy spat.

"Leroy, enough with the back talk. Now where's Niall?"

"I haven't seen him." Leroy and Harry says in unison.

"Alright, well, all of you go into my classroom and we will sort this out."

"School is cancel and we have to stay in your classroom!? We didn't do it!" Leroy argued.

"All of you wait into my classroom now!" Mr. Spencer barked.

****

Zayn sat near the window, glazing at the school playground where kids are planning on the slide. Leroy is pacing back and fourth. Harry sitting on a desk worried about Niall.

"Look who I found." Mr. Spencer announce opening the door and Niall walks in, then Mr. Spencer leaves the classroom.

Harry gets up and pulls Niall into the back of the classroom.

"Where the hell have you been!?" Harry yell whispers.

"I was at the nurses office."

"Why!" Harry demanded.

"I'm getting a sore throat."

Harry looked at the corner of Niall's mouth, "Of course your getting a sore throat, there's cum on the side of your lip. Who have you been sucking off."

"Harry your being ridiculous right now." Niall protest.

"Don't lie to me. Just tell me who you sucked off today."

"It was Victor." Niall says in defeat.

"I thought we were together, but you couldn't keep your mouth close. You whore." Harry spat.

"What about that hickey someone gave you? You forgotten about that? I'm not a whore, I enjoy doing sexual things with guys, so what! Who are you to judge?" Niall spat back.

"If you wanted the D, then come to me. I'm tired of sharing you with other guys. You might catch something, if you keep hoeing around." Harry snaps, then walks away from Niall.

Niall felt like crap, he didn't think Harry would be this harsh with him. He admits having fun with more than one guy, but to imply that he would get a STD, if he keeps up made Niall felt low about himself. Sex for Niall is like numbing the loneliness he feels inside, he doesn't believe in love, cuz he's been cheated on too many times.

"Are you ok Dory?" Zayn questioned, hugging Niall. Niall hugged Zayn back deeply missing him and his new nickname Zayn made for him.

"I'm good now since your here. How are you?" Niall questioned, trying not to bring Zayn into his problems.

"I'm great, I made a new friend. His name is Xavier." Zayn cheers.

"Xavier? He's a bad guy Zayn, why would you hang out with him." Niall scowled.

"He's not, I know the true him, he told me about his past and I can relate to him." Zayn protested.

"How can you possibility relate to Xavier? He's a criminal and he's a foster child, he's damage goods." Niall says, but immediately regretted it, he totally forgot Zayn was a foster child.

"Since he's a foster child that makes him damage good? What about me? Am I damage as well? I didn't want to be in a foster home to be treated badly and hit almost everyday, does that make me damaged good?" Zayn questioned, sadly.

"No Zayn, I didn't mean to say it like that. Your perfect. Everything about you makes me glad that we are friends. I'm sorry, if I hurt your feelings." Niall says, hugging Zayn tightly.

Zayn pulled away from Niall and sat near the window like before. He felt hurt that just because Xavier is a foster child he's bad. Zayn knows the true Xavier, cuz he talked about his past with him. Zayn thinks about himself being damage goods, people treated him badly by calling him awful names. Zayn just wants to be treated normal and not how Aurora did.

Niall felt even worst about himself, sucking off a guy that resulted in Harry being angry and saying awful thing about him. Now Zayn angry at him for saying foster care people are bad. Niall just wants to protect Zayn from Xavier, he's a real evil guy.

Mr. Spencer walks into the classroom with a student.

"You guys are free to go."

"Finally! Told you we didn't have nothing to do with it." Leroy shout happily.

"Someone hear what's to apologize for mistaking you guys." Mr. Spencer says lightly pushing the girl.

"My name is Leanna and I'm sorry for mistaking you guys for starting the fire in the girls bathroom."

"I'm a dragon, you're a whore,
Don't even know what you're good for." Leroy sang, annoyed by the girl who accused him and his friends.

Zayn giggled loudly by Leroy's singing, which everyone snap their heads towards Zayn. Leroy smiled to himself and looked down laughing to himself on how adorable Zayn's giggles are. Harry looked annoyed at Zayn, cuz Zayn and Niall were having a personal conversation a few moments ago. Niall looked at Zayn with a smile, loving Zayn's presence.

Mr. Spencer turned is head back to Leroy, "Leroy you have detention for your explicit singing at a student who was trying to apologize."

"Are you going to feed me food? Cuz I can really get nasty with other song choices, you will not like me when I'm hungry." Leroy sassed.

"Everyone leave the classroom except Leroy." Mr. Spencer spat.

"See you guys tomorrow." Leroy says happily.

Everyone nodded and left the classroom and school building. Harry walked off leaving Niall behind. It was only Niall and Zayn left outside the school building.

"What me to walk you home?" Niall suggested. Zayn shrugged and walked towards his house. Niall followed Zayn from behind.

Zayn still upset about the Niall talked bad about Xavier, Zayn understood how hard it can be to grow up without a really loving family, or people who care about you.

"Are you still mad at me?" Niall questioned. Zayn nodded.

"Zayn, you know, you mean the world to me. I am sincerely sorry for saying Xavier is bad, cuz he's in foster care. Not all teenagers are bad. Your not bad or damage goods."

Zayn didn't replay to Niall, he's kinda tired and wants to take a nice hot shower. Zayn shiver at the cold air hitting him.

"Can I at least keep you warm? I don't want you get sick." Niall pleaded. Zayn thought about it, then nodded.

Niall quickly caught up to Zayn putting his arm around him, while Zayn hugged Niall's waist as they walked. Zayn always felt warm and secure around Niall. He couldn't stay mad at Niall for too long, Zayn thinks of Niall as a big brother who looks out for him.

"I'm not mad at you anymore. Silly of me to be angry at you." Zayn mumbled, resting his head on Niall's side.

"You have every right to be mad at me. I totally forgot that you are a foster child Zayn. I didn't mean to say all students who are in the foster system are bad."

"Xavier isn't bad either."

"But." Niall was about to protest, but Zayn cut him off.

"Not buts, Xavier is somewhat bad, but that doesn't mean he's all bad, I've gotten to know him and he's a pretty good person."

"Ok, let's not talk about this any longer." Niall sighs. Niall a bit jealous how Zayn praises Xavier like a god.

Zayn walks home towards his home and unlocks the door with his keys and walks in with Niall close to his side.

"Thank heavens for home." Trisha says in relief, giving Zayn a bear hug.

"Sorry mom, I should've called last night but I fell asleep."

"It's alright Dear, I'm glad you texted me that you were staying over at your new friend house."

"New friend house?" Niall questioned.

"Yeah, I stayed overnight with Xavier."

"Oh." Niall says flatly. Niall didn't know that Zayn and Xavier friendship was growing so quickly. Niall actually even more jealous that all Zayn can talk about his Xavier. Since they have a special bond of both being in the foster system that what makes them understand each other.

Zayn's phone vibrated, so he took it out and press answer.

"Hello?"

"Hey Zayn, it's Xavier, wanna hang out now?"

"Aren't you in detention?"

Xavier chuckles, "No I was let out early."

"Ok, where should I meet you?"

"In front of the school."

"Ok, bye." Zayn chirps, then press end call.

"Going out again?" Trisha questioned.

"Yeah, but with your permission of course." Zayn says sweetly.

"Don't be home to late ok? I don't wanna worry."

"Ok mom, I won't."

Zayn left his home with Niall tagging along.

"So you and Xavier has gotten pretty close." Niall says calmly without any jealousy leaking thru his voice.

"Yeah, he's great, but not as amazing as you Dory." Zayn says giggling. Taking Niall's hand. Niall never felt like this before, meeting someone like Zayn with a carefree mind and is happy no matter what. Niall may have some soft of feelings for Zayn, cuz he's not like other guys who wants a friends with benefits type of relationship. Niall would love to experience love and Zayn might be the kind of guy.

"Hey Xavier." Zayn says softly. Niall snap his eyes away from Zayn and looked around his surroundings.

"Wow, we already at the school." Niall muttered to himself. He was to busy staring at Zayn's facial features.

"Hey, what's Niall doing here?" Xavier says calmly, but with a mild tone of annoyance.

"He was just walking me to the school."

Niall nodded, "yeah, I must be going home now. See you tomorrow Zayn." Niall says hugging Zayn. Zayn hugged back and watch Niall leave.

Zayn turn back to Xavier, "What are we going to do today?"

Xavier grins, "It's a surprise."

****
Xavier and Zayn walked for about ten minutes, Zayn felt someone was following them, he turn to look back, but didn't see anyone behind them.

"Is something wrong?" Xavier questioned concerned.

"I feel like somebody following us." Zayn said nervously.

Xavier turned back and scan the area with his eyes, but found no one.

"It's probably a kid trying to sneak up on us to scare us. Don't worry."

Xavier walked around a nice house until he saw a small gate.

"You live here now?" Zayn questioned.

"Nope."

Xavier lifted Zayn over the small gate.

"Why are we doing this?"

Xavier hopped over, "We are going to go swimming."

"I didn't bring any swim trunks."

"You can go in your underwear." Xavier suggested.

Xavier and Zayn walked until they reach the big pool area.

"You know how to swim?" Xavier questioned, stripping off his shirt and pants, only in boxers diving into the pool.

"Yeah."

"Why don't you come in. The water is warm."

"I don't know, this isn't your pool or house."

"Don't worry about that, I know when the family comes back, they come home around nine. It's only eight, we have an hour to swim."

"Ok." Zayn says trusting Xavier on his word. He strip of his shirt and jeans making Xavier mouth watered at the sight of Zayn's olive skin. His skinny body makes Xavier go wild. Zayn took of his glasses and placed them on top of his clothes.

Zayn poking his foot into the warm water and sinks into the water swimming towards Xavier.

"Wanna have a swim race?" Xavier grins.

"Yeah!" Zayn cheer.

****
Zayn is already exhausted from swimming back and fourth, but Xavier is used to swimming a lot.

Xavier swam closer to Zayn holding him by his waist.

"Your really pretty to look at." Xavier whispers.

"Really?" Zayn questioned, his cheeks heat up.

Xavier nodded and started to kiss Zayn's cheek then neck. His hands on his chest.

"Xavier, I don't want this." Zayn whispers, moving away for Xavier.

"I don't care, you will like it when I touch you. Blame Harry for this." Xavier growled, gripping Zayn tightly focrefully kissing his face.

"N-No stop Xavier!" Zayn pleaded trying to get out of Xavier grasps.

"Stop squirming! Your only making things harder." Xavier grunted, trying to rip off Zayn's boxer underneath the water.

"I don't want this! Stop! I trusted you!" Zayn yelled at Xavier, tears running down his face.

Xavier ignore Zayn's pleads and turn him around, ripping his own boxers off, trying to insert himself into Zayn's bum, but Zayn kicked his feat backwards hitting Xavier in the balls causing him to groan and squeeze onto Zayn's neck harshly making Zayn cry out.

"Let go of him you prick!" Niall yelled running then throw himself with his fist out like he's flying like superman, hitting Xavier in the face.

Zayn manage to break free from Xavier grasp and swim out of the pool putting on his clothes and glasses on, shriving and whimpering. Zayn couldn't believe Xavier would do that to him. He trusted him and defended him against his friends. Zayn felt played and dumb on how Xavier tricked him.

Niall got out of the pool bringing Xavier how out the water.

"Is h-he d-dead?" Zayn questioned stutter, taking a step back.

"Just knocked out. I should've let him drown in the pool for what he almost did to you, but once the people from this house see him, hopefully they call the cops on him."

"H-how did y-you know I-I was in t-trouble?"

"I followed you." Niall says in a whisper. Zayn hug Niall tighter and cried.

"Thank you Niall, if y-you didn't f-follow m-me I c-couldn't gotten h-hurt." Zayn says crying and hiccuping. Niall felt heartbroken to see Zayn so fragile, Zayn trusted Xavier and he broken his trust by trying to take advantage of him.

"It's over now, he's not going to hurt you anymore." Niall sooth into Zayn's ear. Zayn nodded and sat on the floor shriving from the cold and felt exposed on how Xavier harshly touched him.

"You were right Dory. I shouldn't have trusted Xavier, I'm sorry for not taking your word over his. I feel so gullible at times. How come your not saying I told you so, or I'm a fool into thing Xavier was my friend?" Zayn questioned sniffling.

Niall looked at the soaken wet boy sitting on the floor. The outline of his stomach clinging onto his shirt. Zayn looked so beautiful with his raven hair stick up, his wet shirt exposing his chest. Niall felt stupid for having a dirty mind at this time. He shook them away.

"It's not your fault Zayn. You believed Xavier was your friend. I will not blame you for this. It was Xavier fault."

"Xavier said, blame Harry for this." Zayn spoke quietly.

"What!? Niall questioned yelling a bit. Making Zayn whimper a little.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you, I'm so angry that Harry's involved in this." Niall grumbled.

"Niall, why everyone doesn't like me? I try so hard to get people to like me and all they do want to do is hurt me. Am I doing something wrong!?" Zayn cried out, more tearing falling down his face.

Niall pulled Zayn off from the floor and putting him into his chest.

"Let me take you home, it's late and your mom must be worried." Niall says rubbing Zayn's back. Zayn nodded still clutching onto Niall.

****
Zayn was about to unlock the door to his door, but Niall pulled him closer to him.

"Zayn, do you want to tell your mom about what happen?"

"No, I don't want her to worry." Zayn mumbled.

"I should head home."

"No please don't leave, I don't want to be alone. I'm scared Xavier might come back." Zayn pleaded, gripping onto Niall's shirt like his life depended on it.

"I'm going to ask your mom if I can stay and I will protect you from now on." Niall reassured bringing Zayn into another hug.

"Promise you don't hurt me like Xavier did. I don't know who trust anymore." Zayn choked out. Tear threatening to spill again from his eyes.

"I promise you Zayn, I won't hurt you like Xaiver did. I will protect you from anyone who tries to hurt you." Niall vowed.

"Thank you Niall." Zayn smiled fixing his glasses.

Zayn unlock his front door and was hugged already by Trisha.

"I thought you was suppose to come early?" Trisha questioned frantic.

"It's my fault Trisha, we were at the pool and we totally forgot about the time." Niall lied smoothly.

"Well I'm glad he was with you. You guys should head upstairs. You both got school in the morning." Trisha chirped happily.

"Thanks for letting me stay the night." Niall said grateful. He didn't want Zayn to be by himself.

"Your always welcome. Anyone hungry."

Both Niall and Zayn shook their hands.

"Ok, well goodnight, see you both in the morning."

"Ok, goodnight Trisha." Niall murmured.

"Goodnight mom." Zayn whispers.

Zayn headed upstairs gripping onto Niall's shirt. Zayn felt safe when he had Niall around, he needed to feel Niall, so by grabbing his shirt makes him calm, so he wouldn't feel alone.

"How about you take a shower." Niall suggested. Zayn hesitated at first, but simply nodded.

Twenty minutes later Zayn comes out of the shower only with a fresh pair of boxers on. Niall couldn't take his eyes off Zayn's body on how it moves. Zayn's slim tan stomach moving underneath his skin makes Niall twitch inside his pants, but he knew it was wrong to feel this way. He didn't want to think about this at a time were Zayn was frighten and vulnerable.

Zayn put on a shirt and climbed into bed putting his arm around me, pressing his face against Niall cheek.

"Thank you for staying, I'm sorry if I'm being clingy."

"Your not being clingy. You should've have to be treated like that by Xavier, he was in the wrong."

"I thought, I could help him. He was being so kind to me. I thought, I could make him better." Zayn whispers.

"You tried your best. Now let's get some sleep." Niall says stripping off his shirt. Zayn looked at Niall's chest and started to play with his chest hair until he feel asleep. Niall watched Zayn falling asleep next to him. He brought Zayn closer to his chest, while Zayn buried his face into the crook of Niall's neck. Niall place a kiss on side of Zayn's forehead and fell asleep.
