{They say I'm too young to love you They say I'm too dumb to see. They judge me like a picture book, By the colors, like they forgot to read}

Niall POV

I hear a loud pounding on my bedroom door, I groan and cover myself with the blanket.

"Niall, wake up, you have to get ready for school." My mom hollers.

I sigh and get up from my bed. I quickly go inside the shower and wash my body. Zayn is getting on my nerves and I just pray that he doesn't speak to me today or never, I'm done playing with his little games. If he wants to act like a prick, then I can be one right back at him.

I exit the bathroom and walk to my closet and put on a white t shirt and a boxers. I put on a green polo shirt and black skinny jeans. I go downstairs to get my keys and walk out the door towards school.

****

I enter first period with a bored look on my face, I wanted to stay home and sleep, also to forget about Zayn and Liam kissing. I shouldn't have went to that party, then the fact that Zayn wanted to apologize for it, because some guy was talking to me is so dumb and he got jealous, there's no point of getting jealous, if Zayn doesn't want to be with me, it's not my fault he can't forget the lie that the popular told him to hate me.

I sit in the front corner of the classroom, it's pretty empty today in class, which is great unless annoying chatter from students. I rest my head on desk, feeling like I'm going to fall asleep.

"Hey Niall."

I quickly look up from my desk and see Jasmine in front of me.

"Jasmine, what are you doing here?"

"My first period is a free period, which can be so boring, so I decided, I chill here with you in art class." She chirps taking a seat next to me.

I'm glad you came, I thought, I was about to go insane with boredom." I chuckle a little.

"So what happen yesterday, you sounded really upset, sorry I had to cut over conversation short last night, now tell everything." Jasmine says scooting closer to me.

I sigh. "I go to Zayn's party and I'm sitting in his living room to see him and Liam eating each other's faces off. I try to not to be jealous, but I was. Then this guy name Channing comes out of no where and we began to have a nice conversation, then Zayn comes up to us and says Channing has to leave. I was so angry at Zayn that he didn't want me to have any fun at the party and basically watch him kiss Liam all day, also he had the nerve to apologize cuz he felt bad for kissing Liam." I say, then I inhale a large take of air.

"Wow, do you think Zayn wanted to make you jealous? What if Liam made the first move and Zayn just went with it cuz he had no choice."

"Even if Liam wanted to kiss Zayn, Zayn wouldn't be looking around for me and grinning at me while kissing him. His planned worked I fallin for him and he's not going to give me a chance. I should just try to forget and move on from Zayn."

Jasmine nods. "Yeah, it's the best option, Zayn isn't the person you knew in middle school. People drastically change in high school, it's kinda sad to see him like this towards you. You guys were like best friends and it really sucks that the popular guys did you dirty like that by taking Zayn from you."

"Yeah, but it whatever, Zayn can be with Liam, it doesn't matter to me anymore." I lied, I just need time to adjust and forget Everything about Zayn no matter how hard it's going to be.

I look up to see Zayn walking to into class. we locked eyes, but I look away. From the corner of my eye, I see him walking towards me.

Jasmine, can you let me talk to Niall alone for a moment." Zayn spoke calmly. She nodded and got up to seat in the back of classroom. Zayn sat down next to me.

"The kiss that Liam gave me didn't mean anything, I used it to make you feel bad and it worked, but I felt really guilty for doing it."

"It's fine Zayn, you can date or hook up with whoever you like, you don't have to say sorry to me."

"I'm trying to nice to you, but if you want to have a snarky attitude, then I'm happy to say that I'm going out with Liam for a while, I was just laying low about him and I being to together." Zayn chuckle darkly.

I clench my jaw, but didn't say anything, it does hurt that Zayn likes me, but never really did, it was just a joke to make me fall for him.

"Cats got you're tongue, why so silent." Zayn mocked.

"I'm happy for you, I'm just processing everything you said and you're just a blind fool who believes every word what the popular guys say. You are making a big mistake, but I'm done with you Zayn, I have a happy life." I spat, then the bell rings in perfect timing, I get my book-bag and walk out the classroom.

****

Finally Lunch has started already and I'm halfway late to lunch cuz I fell asleep at the bleachers during gym and gotten a long annoying lecture from the coach. I wasn't even listening to him, all I wanted was to go to lunch and eat. I finally get out the gym and head to my locker to put my book-bag away, then I felt a tap on shoulder.

"Niall, I would like to apologize for what I said yesterday. I told Zayn that I'm not going out with him anymore, it should be you." Liam spoke kindly.

"Why should it be me?"

Liam chuckles lightly. "Because he really likes you, but didn't know how to tell you, so during my second period I broke things off with Zayn, cuz I knew he didn't like me."

"Oh, I'm sorry that he doesn't have feelings for you."

Liam shakes his head. "I'm fine, I have Louis by my side, he's been a really nice guy towards me, I just was blind and never gave him enough attention."

I smile. "That's nice, I'm happy for you and Louis, so where's Zayn?"

"He wanted me to take you to a little party he did just for you, so follow me, he's gotten pizza and balloons for you, cuz he was really sorry." Liam rambles, as we walk.

"Right thru here." Liam says pointing at the door.

"Thanks a lot Liam."

"Anytime, you deserve to be happy with someone who really cares about you."

I open the door and walk inside, but I don't see Zayn or a little party filled with food or balloons, I felt a harsh shove on my back causing me to fall on the floor and the door slam behind me, I see Liam standing over me.

"I can't believe you actually believe me when I said, I broke up with Zayn to give him up for you, you're really are that dumb. god you're voice is so annoying and cringe worthy, I don't understand how Zayn can stand you." Liam spat, kicking me in my stomach.

"Why on earth would Zayn like you? You're plain and nothing shouts out unique about you! I was laughing inside my head when you actually thought Zayn likes you, cuz he doesn't. He's dating me and loving everything we do together." Liam continues rambling and now kicked my face, as I groan in pain.

W-Why do you h-hate so m-much?" I stutter questioned.

"It because when Zayn looks at you, like he's in love with you, but when he looks at me, it just dull and normal. I still can't understand what the hell he sees in you. You both don't look like a cute couple. Your both polar opposites."

"It's not my fault, Zayn likes me and not you." I spoke, holding my side.

Liam punches me and kicks me four times in the stomach.

"I don't care! He should be with me! You're ugly and pathetic !" Liam yells at me ready to kick me again,but I caught and pulled on his foot making him fall on his back. I gather all my strength to punch him right in the jaw. I manage to get up and kick him hard on the side of his stomach.

I get out of the classroom and quickly limp towards the exit of the school, I can't be here, I just wanna go home, but I chose a difference place to relax,The preschool playground.

Zayn POV

I sit in the lunch room scanning for Niall, but I don't see him. I should've have lied that I like Liam, I do it because Liam always begging me to go out with him and I finally said yes. He so annoying with his complaining and high demands. I just wanna see Niall and take him to a nearby closet and kiss him to death, I crave for his touch and lips, it's like I have an addiction and I can't get away from him.

"Hey Zayn, Harry and I have to tell something." Louis says nervously, sitting across from me.

"If it's about Liam, I don't wanna hear it. He's been asking too much from me about having another party at my house." I snap.

Louis shakes his head rapidly. "No it's not about that, it's about the day I gave you the voice recorder of Niall that said all the bad stuff about you."

"Yeah, what about it?"

"Well it's was a lie, Niall never said that to you. It was made by me and I'm so sorry for doing that to you during middle school, it wasn't Harry and I idea, it was Liam, cuz he was jealous of you guys." Louis nervously ramble.

"So it took you all this freaking TIME TO TELL ME THIS." I yelled a both of them.

"We're sorry Zayn, the guilt has finally consume our heart and we rather tell you now, before something bad happens." Harry says nervously.

I slam both hands on the table, causing both of them to jump.

"Something bad happens!? I could've been with Niall all this time and I have been wasted my time trying to popular to be LIED TO!"

"Calm down, Zayn." Harry spoke gently.

"I will not calm down, it's all you guys fault for turning me into this monster that I am too Niall, you better pray that Niall forgives me or both you and Liam will buried underground." I growled, and stormed out of the lunchroom

I see Liam clutching his side and has a bruise on his jaw.

"What the hell happen to you?" I questioned.

"Niall is what happen, but don't worry, I got him really good. I saw him leaving school with a bad limp."

I grab Liam by the neck. "What the hell did you do him." I yell in his face.

I can see the fear in Liam's eyes. "I t-taught him a l-lesson, s-so he can s-stay away from u-us." Liam stutters.

"Us? There's not us anymore, Harry and Louis told me everything. It was YOU, who broke me and Niall's friendship which let me to change and hate Niall! It's your damn FAULT!" I growled.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean no harm, I just wanted you all to myself." Liam reasoned.

"I hate you for what I've become, I hurt Niall because of you and this stupid reason of being popular, it wasn't worth it all for losing Niall and you better pray Niall will forgive me, or you will pay for what you did." I spat, I notice, I still have the spoon from the cafeteria in my hand.

"Oh, I remember you telling me you have a fear of spoons." I chuckle darkly and shoving the spoon into Liam's mouth, he tries to escape my grasp, but he can't.

"Stay still or I will let you choke on this damn spoon." I growled into his ear, which made him stop moving, I see tears falling down his face.

"This is just warning, if you hurt Niall again and that goes for Louis and Harry as well." I spat and took the spoon out of his mouth and pushed him on the floor. I ran outside the school building to search for Niall, I have only one place I could think of were Niall could be, I just hope I'm right.

Niall POV

I weakly limp towards the swings seat and sat on it, holding the chains to support myself. Everything I've been thru has led up to this, being alone. I'm to native to think Liam was going to give up Zayn for me, even if he did, Zayn wouldn't want me. I just have to survive high school and get on with my life, a life without Zayn going to be miserable, but I have have to move on from him. He was my first best friend first, he could've been my first love, I guess we were never meant to be.

"Niall?"

I turn my head up to see Zayn standing in front of me.

"Are you here to beat me up, Liam did, or are you here to rub it in my face that you won everything, you finally became popular and got yourself a potato head boyfriend, how did you even fine me.

"This is were we first became friends in pre-school, it's the only place I know that isn't to far away from our school. I came here to tell you that I know everything."

"Meaning?"

"You were right about everything, the voice recorder was a fake, Louis made it to use you're voice into it, him and Harry both told me it was a plan to break us up, so Liam can have me."

I stood silent for a moment, finally the truth has been set free, but I truly don't know what to say, I look at Zayn's painful expression on how guilty he looks for treating me so awful, but it wasn't his fault, the popular were mind controlling jerks, who wanted my Zaynie, but I finally got him back and hopefully for good.

"Please say something Niall, yell at me, or hit me. Tell me I told you so, I was wrong all along. I'm the most stupidest guy in the world to pick popularity over you, tell me I was making a big mistake." Zayn pleaded.

"I forgive you, Zayn."

"What! How can you forgive me so easily, the things I've did to you, is this some kind of test? I will bow down and kiss you're shoes right now, if you want me too, I will hold you're books every class period, I don't care what people say. I will be you're servant in high school, just tell me what do you want!" Zayn pleaded again.

"Kiss me." I shyly smile. Zayn walked quickly and demolish his lips against mine, I knew what I wanted, but it took a long time to realize that I want was Zayn. He was alway their for me, we have our fights and arguments, but have come along way to reach what is possibility be love.

Zayn pulled back and rested his forehead against mine. "I'm sorry for everything I've did to you, I will do everything in power to treat you right, I promise you blue." Zayn whisper in my ear.

I feel my eyes water. "I would like that, it's just are you sure, you want me? We can still be friends, I don't want you to think we have to be together, I may not be the most attractive person, do you still want all of me? With my flaws of being a freak with rough and grossed lips." I murmured.

"Niall, you provide me with everything, like no one else, you wanted to be my friend no matter how different I looked or was. You love the color of my skin and I love the look you're face when I make you smile and surprise you with nice things, I get to kiss you without giving a lame excuse like before. I'm sorry for hurting you with those words, I lied about saying you're lips were gross and rough. I would kissed them forever and it will never be enough." Zayn says wiping the tears away for my face.

"My Zaynie is becoming a big softie, what happen to tough Zayn?" I teased, laughing a little.

"I'm a big softie for you. How about we swing together, like we used too in preschool." Zayn grins, pecking him on my cheek.

"Yeah, I would like that." I smile.

"But it's going to different, we are going to swing together."

"How?" I questioned. Zayn pulls him up from the swing seat, he seats on the swing seat first, then put my legs around Zayn and sits on his lap while I bear hug him. He grabs the chains on both sides and started to swing. I put my face on the side of his neck, as he swings higher.

Twenty Minutes later, Zayn slowed down and stopped swing, I got off him, wincing at the pain on my side.

"Did I hurt you? I forgot that Liam hit you, want me to carry you home?" Zayn question rapidly.

"I'm good, it just hurts my sides and face."

"I'm taking you home." Zayn says putting his arm around back helping me walk.

****

We finally made it to were I live, the whole we walked , Zayn was mumbling sorry, I told him, it wasn't his fault, but he's not buying it.

"Stay with me, tonight." Zayn mumbles.

"My mom wouldn't allow it." I say, frowning.

"Tell her, you're staying over Jasmine's house. Then you can come over to mine."

"Ok." I smile at him, then he plants a kiss on my forehead and walks towards his house.

I unlock my door and go upstairs to my mother's room.

Niall, you're here early."

"Yeah, today was a half a day." I lied.

"What happen to you're face!?" She exclaims.

"The usual playing dodgeball and one of the balls hit my face."

"Ok, do you want to make you something you eat?" She questioned.

"No, I wanted to tell you that I'm going to Jasmine's house for a sleepover."

"That's wonderful, have fun ok, and don't get her pregnant."

"Mom!" I groan, then goes to my room and taking out some random clothes and put it into a duffel bag, then exit out my house. I wince, while trying to hold the bag.

"Let me help you." Zayn says taking my bag. I jump a little.

"Zayn, you almost give me a heart attack." I say placing my hand on my chest,

Zayn smiles. "I'm sorry, I forgot you're still in pain, so I came out waited for you."

"Thanks." I mumble, leaning on to Zayn, as he put his around my waist.

Zayn opens the door to his home and sits on the couch.

"Where's you're dad?" I questioned.

"Business trip, he won't be back until Friday night tomorrow, you should come by for dinner."

"Yeah, I would love to go."

"I wanna tell my dad about us." Zayn says taking my hand.

"Really? So soon, I don't you wanna wait, what if you're dad disapproves of us. I don't want him to kick you out because of me."

"If my dad doesn't approve, it doesn't matter, I still wanna be with you, I'm done with trying to keep you away, I wanted you for a long time and now I have you. I don't want you to feel like I'm keeping you a secret. I wanna show you that you're mine." Zayn says, pulling me into his lap, then I put my face on his neck, as he puts his arms around me.

"Ow." I whimpered a little.

"I'm sorry, I keep forgetting, take off your shirt. I have a first aid in the cabinet. Zayn says getting up, gently lifting me up and puts me back on the couch and walking down the hallway.

"Do I really have to?" I holler, nervously.

"Yes, I need to clean the bruises that Liam gave you." Zayn says, coming back with a first aid kit in his hand and sitting down.

I sigh and took off my shirt. I look at Zayn's faces he looks angry with a hint of lust in his eyes.

"I'm going to kill Liam, He thinks, he can get away for doing this to you." Zayn growls getting up, but I gently push him back down at sat on his lap.

"You will not hurt Liam, I'm fine now."

"He hurt you, you're all bruised up because of me and my selfish reasons. I feel disguised with myself. You're too good for me Niall. How can you forgive me so easily? You deserve better than me. I hate myself for the horrible things I've done to you. I'm sorry blue." Zayn says, his voice cracking. I hugged Zayn tightly, as he cries on my neck.

"Zaynie don't cry, I'm really fine ok. I forgive you cuz its the right thing to do, I don't want you to dwell on the past about the things you done to me. I know you're genuine sorry. I'm happy with you." I murmured in his hair, caressing his hair.

Zayn sniffles. "I mean look at me, I have stupid tattoos on my body, I wear these awful dark clothes to look mean and bad. I hate this eye contacts. I wanna were glasses again, but I change myself for the wrong reasons to gain popularity. I regret everything Niall." Zayn cried.

"Zayn, look at me! The tattoos are hot and amazing. You don't have to wear dark clothes anymore and you can get new glasses. You don't have to be something you're not Zayn."

"Do you hate me for changing myself?" Zayn questioned.

Of course not, if you wanna be this person who likes tattoos and dark clothes, I will support you. If you wanna wear your glasses again, I'm still here for you. It doesn't matter to me Zayn."

"Why am I so lucky to have you Niall. I honestly don't deserve you." Zayn murmurs. I wipe his tears away.

"Zayn, we known each other since we were kids, I want us to be happy again, so stop crying. I don't want you feeling bad about yourself. I trust you that you won't hurt me again." I Shyly smile, kissing his cheek.

"Thank you Niall for giving me a another chance. I promise you that, I won't hurt you ever again and I will treat you like a King." Zayn Vowed, putting my face on his chest and rubbing my back.

"What about school tomorrow? Are we going to pretend we don't know each other?" I questioned.

"Do you want to come out to the school as a couple? I have no problem with it."

"What if they don't like us being together?"

"Then screw them, we don't need their permission to be together and they know better not touch you."

"They can't take what's ours." I say, glancing up at Zayn.

Zayn looks down at me. "They can't take what's ours." Then he plants a kiss on my lips.
