On the Run (Zayn Malik fan fiction) [UNDERGOING MAJOR EDITING]

Chapter 13

~Chapter 13~

Heather's POV

After I finished unpacking I went to Harry's room to ask him if we can go shopping later today.

"Hello!" He said after he opened the door to let me in.

"Hi! Um, I just wanted to know if it'd be alright with you if we go shopping today instead of tomorrow?" I asked

"Yea sure. If you want we can go right now" He suggested.

"Ok, just let me get my purse and we can go." I went to my room got my stuff and went to meet Harry at the door. The rest of the boys were on the sofa watching some movie.

"Boys! Harry and I are going shopping!" I yelled. They all turned around and said good bye. I looked at Zayn and noticed he had a sad smile and sad eyes. I wanted to hug him but I also needed to talk to him about telling the boys later. I needed him to be by my side, I wouldn't be able to do it alone.

The mall was only an hour away and luckily the fans didn't follow us there. Well I guess they didn't notice. I was pretty grateful of that. We were walking around the mall right now sipping on the drinks we bought.

"So, where do you wanna go first?" Harry asked me.

"I dunno, first I think we should talk, because well I think you might want to know who I am better because well there's stuff you need to know about me..." I said.

Harry looked at me confused but understanding. We sat at a random table in the food court. He stayed silent while I was preparing myself to talk. I didn't know how to start, my eyes were starting to tear up but I blinked them back before they could be noticed. I looked up at Harry's eyes, took a deep breath and just blurted everything out.

"IhaveanexbestfriendRuthandsheistryingtofindmethatswhyimherebecausethepolicesentmehereforsafetyandshesverydangerouseshestockedmeforawhileandtextedmeweirdstuffandcalledbutallyoucouldhereisbreathingandwellyeah." I finished saying. I can't believe I did it. I don't even know if Harry understood it all so I took a deep breath and and looked up at him again. He looked shocked speechless and there was something else I couldn't quite put my finger on. He was trying to say something but couldn't say it, until finally he spoke.

"Wh-why haven't you been with your parents? Shouldn't they be helping you out with this?!" He asked worriedly. I was hoping he didn't ask anything about my parents. I didn't know if I wanted to tell him about my parents. Looks like I didn't have a choice now. I took a deep breath, again, and spoke but this time in a normal tone and speed.

"When I was in high school at a school trip, I-" I couldn't finish it cause tears were starting to form in my eyes and I felt the lump in my throat, stopping me from saying anything. I took one more deep breath and continued.

"They died. I saw they're dead bodies. They were murdered and up to this very day they don't know who it was, they don't even have a suspect." I finished. He looked at me speechless yet again with sadness and sorry written all over his face. I couldn't stop the tears from coming out so I just let them out. I felt a hand on my shoulder and when I looked up, I saw Harry with a sad smile and tears in his eyes too.

"I'm so sorry toy had to go through all that Heather. Just know that I'm here for anything you might need." He said. I was pretty shocked. I was expecting him to not talk. To make us leave, take me home and never talk to me again. I thought he would react WAY less understanding than Zayn.

"Do you think I should tell the rest of the guys?" I asked.

"I think you should. It would be better if all of us where able to help you out." He answered. I thought about it for a couple minutes.
