Persecute

Zayn's POV

I was in Keona's room with her while we both did homework. I really did feel horrible about everything that's happened to her, she's done nothing to deserve all this hate. It makes me sick to even think about why I stayed with Mishella's group.

It took me awhile to realize that it was wrong, but I finally did realize it. And I'm glad I did, because this girl needs a friend. Just by looking at where she has to come home to after a day of hell makes me feel even worse.

Yeah, no one likes school but I can tell that she's afraid to come every day. I watch as she walks to school, with her head down and praying that no one will talk to her.

I promised myself that I would be her friend and not let anyone hurt her. She can trust me, and I'm going to show her that she can.

"Zayn, you okay?" She asked.

I blinked and smiled, "Yeah, just thinking."

She nodded and continued her homework. I had already finished mine, so I was just drawing. I was afraid that she might cut herself, no one deserves to hurt themselves.

My phone vibrated and it was a message from Harry. I rolled my eyes mentally and unlocked my phone. He texted me and it said for me to call him.

"Be right back, I have to make a call." I told Keona.

She nodded again and continued on her work. I left the room and walked downstairs and dialed Harry's number.

After two rings he picked up, "Zayn where the fuck are you?"

"I'm on Earth." I smiled at my comment.

"You know what I mean."

"It doesn't matter. Why are you calling?" I sat on the couch knowing this argument would lead to a fight.

"You're with Keona aren't you?" He asked.

"Yeah I am, you have a problem with that?"

"Yes Zayn, I do. You know we all hate her!" His voice was dark.

I clenched my jaw, "Why do you hate her Harry? What has she ever fucking done to you!"

Harry was silent. He was silent because she's done nothing, nothing at all.

"Exactly Harry. She's suffers because you and the others are fucking rude and jealous. So if you ever consider talking to her, it'll be because you're apoligizing. Goodbye Harry."

I hung up on him before he could say anything else. I felt quite proud of myself for saying that.

I stood off the couch and I heard a sniffle. I looked over and saw Keona standing there crying.

"Hey what's wrong?" I asked and walked over to her.

"I've never had anyone care for me before. Or stand up for me. Now I know I can trust you." She smiled and hugged me.

I hugged her back and smiled. She trust me now, I can check that off the list.

Notes

Zayn is so sweet :) Aww.
