Zach p.o.v.
I walked into mine and y/n's house after a long day at the studio. I was really tired and hadn't seen y/n since last night so all I wanted to do was to spend the evening with her.
I walked into the living room and was surprised to find Liam sitting on the couch. Liam was an acquaintance of ours but he wouldn't have a reason to be here.
"hello?"
"oh hey Z"
"what are you doing here?"
"oh y/n asked if I could fix a broken lock"
"oh...ok, where is she?"
"I think she went back upstairs, i'm leaving bye"
"bye"
He stood up and left, strange. I took my jacket off and walked up to our room. I opened the door and found y/n sitting on the edge of the bed looking out to window with her arms crossed over her chest.
"babe?"
She jumped and looked at me, I was concerned by now.
"hey...what's wrong?"
I said trying to hug her but she moved away. She took in a sharp breath.
"nothing i'm fine"
"y/n what happened, you're not acting like yourself "
"Zach i'm fine, i'm gonna take a shower"
"baby wait-"
she closed the door and locked it, i'm really worried, she never locks the door. I got changed and waited for her to come out. Her phone lit up, I looked at it and saw a text from Liam, what the heck?
"remember, don't tell him anything that happened or else bad things will happen"
I was beyond shocked and furious, what happened?!
y/n walked out of the bathroom and tried to rush to the closet but I stopped.
"y/n! what is this?! what happened?!"
I could see the tears brimming her eyes as she started shaking.
"I c-can't say"
"baby tell me"
"he-he hurt me"
my heart sank as she started crying.
"he r-raped me"
she was now sobbing, I pulled her into my arms as sadness and anger came over my body. I have never wanted to kill anyone more. I rubbed her head and back but she flinched.
"baby it's ok it's me, i'm so sorry, I'll never let anyone hurt you ever again"
She was crying and shaking in my arms, I was boiling but I needed to take care of her before I could even think about what I was gonna do with Liam.
"I-I'm s-sorry"
"no baby no, it's not your fault, not at all. You did nothing wrong, he's a horrible person"
"I-I feel dis-disgusting"
"you're not baby, you're okay, you'll be okay"
As she started calming down I helped her to the bathroom and told her to take a shower and I'd be right back. As I walked out of the bathroom I heard the door downstairs. My instincts kicked in and I ran downstairs meeting eyes with Liam himself.
"hey sorry just came to get get my jacket, I forgot it"
I didn't say anything before punching him.
"how fucking dare you do this!? Not to my girl! Not to any girl! You are disgusting, I'll be calling the damn police on you!! You stay away from us, I don't want to see you ever again!"
I yelled holding the neck of his shirt, I pushed him away and he ran out holding his hand on his nose. I immediately called the police and reported him.
Once I got off the phone I sighed.
"Zach?"
I looked up and ran up to our room, she was sat on the bed in her pyjamas. I sat down infront of her and hugged her, for the first time this evening she put her arms around me and hugged me back, I kissed her cheek softly.

The next morning we went to the doctor to make sure everything was ok. She was still feeling pretty weak but I tried my best to make her feel better.
Slowly but surely she started feeling more confident and was getting over what happened.
——
We were sat outside, she was laying with her back against my chest. I rubbed her arm slowly as we enjoyed the silence.
"thank you Zach"
"for what beautiful?"
"helping me through everything, couldn't have done it without you"
"I love you"
"I love you too"
I squeezed her tight and she laughed. Nothing can break us.
