"I don't get why he can't just leave you alone?" Gracie said with a disgusted look at Zayn's back walking away "Whats his problem? and why pick on you? Your so nice. What have you ever done to him?"

"Well I actually don't know what I ever did wrong to him, he just kinda started bullying me and I've told teachers when I was younger but no one would listen so I guess I got used to it and gave up." I said

We finished our food and then the bell rang. Today was Thursday which meant we could leave early so me and Gracie went back to my house to hang.

Why does he always pick on Melanie? It hurts me so much seeing my best friend in such a bad place.

"Hey Cathy" I said, acknowledging Mel's mum

"Hey Gracie" She said "Hows Danielle and Jacob" she says referring to my mother and brother

"They are great, Jacobs loud as usual" I said

Melanie and I went to her bedroom.

"We need to talk, Mel" I say seriously,

"What about" She says cluelessly

"I think that you should tell Zayn about Little Miss" I say, and I really believe myself. If he doesn't want anything to do with her then fine, he can leave but maybe him knowing will change things.

"What! No! Never! why would I?" She says defensively with a questionable look in her eyes

"I think its important that he should know at least" I say

"He wouldn't care anyway...He never wanted a baby. He took advantage of me!" She says, it's horrible to think about

"I at least think he should know even if he doesn't care... just tell him" I say

"I agree" Melanie's mum said as she walked in with a bunch of cookie and other snacks

"But.. I don't know, what will his reaction be? Will he hurt me? will he insult the baby? who knows what he'll do" Mel says with a scared look in her eye

"Nobody can hurt the baby. She safe" Cathy says and I nod my head in agreement

"Okay, when should I tell him? Tomorrow?"

"Yes" I say with a reassuring smile.

M E L A N I E

I am sleeping thinking of how I will tell him tomorrow. I am scared. Okay, I'm ready I'm gonna tell him straight away if he asks me who's is the baby.

I am so afraid.

He wont hurt the baby

He wont hurt the baby

He wont hurt the baby

I keep saying in my head, He's hut me before, He's slapped me before. He could hurt my baby. No No No this is a bad idea. I'm not gonna tell him. And thats final.

M O R N I N G

I'm gonna tell him...

I'm walking in the school gates, terrified of what's to come, unsure of what to tell Zayn.

"Soooo Hows Melanieee" I heard Zayn say mockingly

"Go away!" I yelled at him

I heard Gracie next to me pretending to cough. Terribly.

"Okay okay" I whispered to Gracie

"Zayn?" I say with confidence, but soon loose it, "I need to tell you something" this time I say shaky and nervously

"Ooo whats this about" he says

"In private" I say

"Oh I get where this is go-" I cut him off by saying,

"Don't even think about it"

When we were alone I looked at him closely in the eyes... I never really noticed this but his eyes are kinda actually innocent and beautiful looking.. Stop! Melanie! focus!

"Okay, um... this is hard to say but um.. um You were wondering who the father was um..." I say,

"Ooo so your gonna finally crack" He says, but I can still tell there is fear in his eyes,

"The baby's father is you" I said really fast closing my eyes hoping that when I open them he will not be ready to yell or hurt me.

"What" he said softly, I never heard him talk softly before. His voice is actually quite calm.

"This baby is yours. This is what happens when you take advantage of someone. Now please don't hurt me!"
I opened my eyes to see Zayn with his hands on my belly looking at me with innocent eyes. I never in a million years thought I would see him like that.

"Is it a boy or girl?" he asks

"Girl, and do you really care?" I say

"If course I do! I'm gonna be a father! I'm gonna be a father.. I'm gonna be a.. father" He says confidently but then unsure of himself.

"You do realise that you've bullied me for the past 10 years and there's a big chance I won't even let you be involved in her life?" I say

"Uh yeah and excuse me you can't do that" he says

"What was the reason that you started bullying me in the first place!" I yell, tears brimming in my eyes,

"Well... Um" He says "you know this doesn't change anything" His mood changes quickly and the innocent guy I just saw was gone,

"Than can you please stop touching my stomach" I say

"Oh...um..ah.."

"What" I say

"I...I'm sorry for taking advantage of you" He says

"Your sorry? Your. Sorry?!" I yell, suddenly unable to control myself

"You could of thought about that before you got drunk and I got pregnant!"

"You know what. I don't want this baby. ITS all yours!" He says aggressively

"Firstly, she's a girl not an IT and secondly, I knew you were gonna say that. Thats why I didn't want to tell you!" I yell

I walk away after saying that. I can't believe him, he's so confusing and I hate it. I hate him. Or do I?
