Long Zayn #imagine

You wake up in the middle of the night screaming, again. Beads of sweat had formed on your face during your nightmare; the same dream you were having every time you close your eyes.

Your roommate; Zayn comes running into your bedroom, cradling you in his strong arms as you sob quietly, remembering the horrible dream you had.

‘Do you wanna tell me what’s going on? You’ve been waking up screaming for the past week babe.’ Zayn says; rubbing his thumb over your cheek, wiping away your tears.
‘I don’t want to talk about it Zayn.’ You reply.
‘Okay, but you know I hate seeing upset.’ He says.
‘I know. I’m sorry Zayn.’
‘Shh. Don’t be sorry. Go on back to sleep, I’ll be here.’ He says, cuddling you closely.

You nod and snuggle up to his chest; falling asleep almost instantly.

You wake up the next morning; tangled with Zayn’s arms and legs. You giggle softly as you try and get out of his grip.

‘Zayn.’ You say, nudging him softly.
‘Hmm.’ He breathes ou; pulling you tighter to his chest.
‘Zayn! I’m trapped!’ You shout.
‘I know babe. And you’re staying right here!’
‘No! Zayn, seriously. I need to shower and get ready.’
‘Don’t care.’ He replies absent-mindedly.

You look at him in awe. Was he serious? You start poking at his sides; making him jump. You giggle loudly as he opens his eyes to glare at you.

‘(Y/n)! Stop!’ He says through giggles as you carry on tickling him.
‘Let me go then!’
‘Never!’ Zayn shouts, tickling you back.

You both laugh at each other; finding it hard to breathe as he continues poking your sides.

‘Okay, okay! I give up.’ You say; defeated.
‘Woo!’ He shouts out.
‘You’re so childish!’
‘Haha! I don’t care.’ He laughs, pulling you in tightly.

As Zayn falls back to sleep; you manage to slip out of the bed without waking him. You walk into the bathroom; lifting your shirt above your head, staring into the mirror as you spot the bruises on your ribs. You sigh, remembering how you got them.

You shake yourself out of it and jump into the shower; letting the water wash over your exhausted body. After a good half an hour in the shower; you get out, wrapping the towel around you before walking into your bedroom.

You see that Zayn is still sleeping so you start to get a few pieces of clothes; laying them out on the sofa in the corner of your room.

‘(Y/n)?’ Zayn asks; making you jump.
‘Yeah?’
‘Where’d you get those bruises from?’ He says; making you panic a bit.
‘I fell and hit my back.’ You lie.
‘Babe. You can tell me anything, you know that don’t you?’
‘Of course. Now, I’ll see you tonight at Niall’s for his party! Bye!’ You say; hurrying out the door, to work.

You sit in work; thinking about what happened with Zayn. You didn’t want to lie to him but you couldn’t tell him the truth. Zayn would go mad.

You were in a relationship that wasn’t very good. Your boyfriend; Adam was amazing. Until last week. After an argument, he hit you and then he did it again. And again. That’s when your nightmares started. You were too scared to end your relationship with him and you were dreading the party tonight because you’d be going with Adam.

You decided to forget about everything and put on a smile when you go to Niall’s party. Adam kept you close throughout the night, making sure that you didn’t disappear with any of the boys; your best friends. That all changed when you saw Zayn. Your face lit up and Adam noticed.

‘Stay away from him.’ Adam whispers to you.
‘Let me get us a drink.’ You say, trying to get away from him.

You look away from Zayn and walk towards the bar area. Zayn comes in not long after you and just stands there.

‘What the hell is going on with you (y/n)? You haven’t spoken to any of us tonight. Don’t forget about us just because you’ve got a boyfriend.’ Zayn says.
‘I’m sorry Zayn. It won’t happen again.’ You reply, looking at the floor as if you’ve just been told off.
‘Oh, babe. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you.’ Zayn says walking over to you.

He raises his hand and you cower before him.

‘Please don’t hit me!’ You say; tears in your eyes.
‘What?! (Y/n), I was just going to tuck your hair behind your ear.’ He says; his big brown eyes looking at you in shock.
‘Sorry.’ You say; turning to the bottle of beer behind you.
‘(Y/n), I want to know what’s going on. Your bruises, the nightmares, what just happened! Please just-’ Zayn stops himself. He looks at you, something different in his eyes this time. You saw hate flash across his normally caring eyes.

‘That bastard! It’s Adam isn’t it? He hit you, that’s why you were scared before. And all the nightmares! I’m going to kill him.’ Zayn spat with utter disgust in his voice.

He walked out of the kitchen and you just freeze. A few seconds later all you hear is the sounds of glass being broken and people shouting. You run out and find Adam on the floor; surrounded by glass and blood.

‘Zayn? What the fuck man?’ Niall shouts.
‘Do you all wanna know what this dick has been doing to our best friend?’ Zayn shouts.

You look on from the doorway; tears falling down your cheeks.

‘This dick has been beating (y/n) up.’
‘What?’ Liam yells .
‘Get him out of here, now! Before I beat the shit out of him!’ Niall shouts, running his hand through his hair; complete shock on his face.

Harry spots you and runs over to you; shortly followed by Louis.

‘It’s okay babe, the boys will sort him out. We’ll look after you.’ Louis says, walking you back through the kitchen, cuddling you.

After 10 minutes of silence, Liam and Niall walk into the kitchen; Zayn nowhere to be seen.

‘Where is he?’ You ask.
‘We threw him out. You won’t have to worry about him anymore babe.’ Niall says.
‘No. Zayn. Where is he?’
‘Oh, he’s gone for a walk.’ Liam tells you; taking a seat opposite you.
‘But why?’ You say, tears spilling out again.
‘Babe, we don’t want you to be upset anymore but Zayn thinks that what happened was his fault. He thinks that he should’ve protected you.’ Niall explains.
‘But, how was he supposed to know?’ You reply.
‘I dunno babe, he’ll be back in a minute. In the meantime, why don’t you get changed and we can all watch a movie?’ Niall suggests.
‘Okay, come with me Niall?’ You ask.

Niall nods and follows you to his room; finding some sweats for you to wear.

‘Niall, I just wanted to let you know that I am so sorry for ruining your birthday.’ You start.
‘Babe, don’t be sorry for something that wasn’t your fault. I’m just glad you’re okay now. I can’t believe what he did to you. Me and all the guys love you so much, it’s just really upset me to know he was hurting you.’ Niall says.

You nod and kiss his cheek softly, taking his hand to go back downstairs. You find Harry, Liam and Louis sat on Niall’s huge sofa with the opening titles of Grown Ups starting. You smile and take the seat in the middle, cuddling close to Harry and Louis.

‘Thank you guys for doing this. You all mean so much to me.’
‘Oh it’s fine! Zayn will be back anytime now.’ Liam says.

Just then, the door opens revealing a soaked Zayn. You stand up and run to the doorway.

‘Zayn! You’re soaking!’ You say.
‘Yeah. I’ll be fine.’ He says, never once looking into your eyes.
‘We need to talk.’ You say, grabbing his hand and leading him to the kitchen.
‘Right. For a start, what happened between me and Adam was totally out of your control. What he did was wrong but you couldn’t have done anything about it. It’s all over now.’ You explain.
‘That’s not the point (y/n). I should’ve protected you from him.’ He says, finally looking directly at you; his eyes red.
‘Have you been crying?’ You ask. He shakes his head.
‘Zayn, please don’t punish yourself. It’s not your fault.’
‘It is my fault (y/n). I could have stopped it from happening. The one person who means the absolute world to me got hurt and I should’ve known. If only I had told you I love you before, maybe it would’ve stopped him from hurting you.’
‘What? You love me?’ You say; completely shocked.
‘Yes (y/n). I have loved you for years but I’ve never had the guts to tell you. I’m sorry I’ve let you down.’ Zayn whispers, looking at the ground.
‘What? You haven’t let me down! Like I said, what happened was out of your control. Let’s just forget about it, please?’
‘Okay, but-’ Zayn starts but you silence him with a heart stopping kiss.

Your lips press softly to his plump pink ones. Zayn kisses you back instantly, wrapping his arms around your waist; pulling you as close as possible. He runs his tongue across your bottom lip before he explores your mouth; making your knees go weak, thankful that he was holding onto you, otherwise you’d have fallen.

You pull away and smile deeply at Zayn, as he presses his forehead to yours.

‘I love you so much (y/n).’ He whispers.
‘I love you too.’
‘I just want you to know now, that I will never hurt you. I will protect you and make you feel beautiful every day.’ He says, kissing your jaw; making you giggle a little.

He takes your hand and leads you down to the living room and the boys. As you sit on Zayn’s lap, the boys look on in pure shock.

‘It’s about bloody time!’ Louis laughs.
‘Shut up Louis!’ Zayn laughs as you rest your head on his chest.
‘Well, at least she’s with someone who will love and protect her from now on.’ Liam says.

Liam’s words play over in your head as you finally feel at peace; knowing that you were finally with someone that you were meant to be with.

Zayn really was perfect for you.
