- Lucia's POV -
(edited)
Ashton and Calum held Luke back while me and Michael held Zach and they finally stopped throwing punches at each other.
"Zach, can you go please... I wanna talk to them alone" I asked him
"Fine, love you" he called
"Yeah whatever" I muttered as I rolled me eyes
I looked at Luke and sighed.
"I'm sorry Luke" I hugged him.
"Why are you sorry? You didn't do anything wrong" Luke said
"Well I could of tried to stop him from hurting you but he'll end up hurting me" I covered mouth as I just realised what had slipped out. No one knows that he hurts me.. Shit, I'm in trouble.
"What do you mean he'll end up hurting you?" Ashton asked cautiously
"Oh I uh, I didn't mean to say that" I lied
"Lucia, don't lie .. you can tell us" Calum said
"I know but you will end up getting hurt though... I don't want that to happen" I explained as my eyes began to fill with tears.
I gave in, and I explained to the boys about him hurting me and they seemed shock.
"But if he treats you like a princess with gifts and spoils you then why does he hurt you?" Michael asked
"Because he likes to think he is being protective. He loves me, I know he does and I love him but I get scared of him" I explained "and he always apologises and begs for me to forgive him, and I do because I love him"
"How can you love him when he does that to you?" Luke asked
"Because he doesn't hurt me all the time, it's just occasionally" I lied
He hurts me all the time. It's been getting worse and I'm scared. No one knows except the boys.
"Are you gonna stay with him?" Luke asked again
"Y-yeah, I mean he didn't hurt me today" I said "it's also been a while since he has hurt me" that's another lie out of my mouth
Luke sighed with the others.
"C-can I have some time alone please?" I asked them
"Sure, just message or ring us if you need to talk to someone" Ashton smiled
I hugged the boys and once they were gone I rang up Zach
"Hey babe" he sounded busy
"Can you come round?" I asked
"Sure, I will be round in 5" he said
I hung up and I sat down waiting for Zach. He took like 15minutes instead of 5.
"What took you so long?" I asked
"Oh, uh I had to help my mum" he lied
It was obvious he was lying, I could always tell when he was lying but I couldn't be bothered to argue.
"Uhm... About earlier, that was a bit our of order Zach. I said to Luke how out of order he was for punching back" that was a lie "but you have to understand that they are my friends" I sighed
"I know" he sighed "I'm sorry babe" he pulled me in for a hug. When I wrapped my arms around him, I could smell a female scent on him
I pulled away and looked at him confused
"What's wrong babe?" He asked
"I can smell a female scent on you" I said slowly
"Oh uh... That's my mums" he smiled
"Don't lie" I warned
"I'm not!" He exclaimed
"Zach, tell me the truth" I said
He sighed once again
"Okay, so when you rang me I was out in town looking for a new perfume... For you. I wanted it to be a surprise but now you know" he said as he handed me a box which contained my favourite perfume in.
It was the blue Marc Jacobs daisy one.
"Awh thank you so much" I cuddled him "I'm sorry I pushed you into telling me" I smiled
"It's okay babe, anything for you" he smiled and hugged me back
