ZARA

Chapter 34: My Saviour

Zara's POV

Thank God I pushed him out in time. I wish I had never trusted Ashley, it would be a life's lesson at least.
I walked back calmly to the door with the pregnancy test in my hand I hadn't known yet if I was pregnant or not. I was supposed to give it 10 minutes.

"She's over there." I heard Ashley's sobbing voice talk to her dad.
I pretended not to even notice her. I just went on with my business, her dad was the most scariest man I have ever seen. Only because he was ugly though.

He wasn't scary like Aron scary. He was like ugly scary the type of scary where you are afraid of.
"Excuse me miss." He approached me I could smell his breath from where he was standing.
It smelt like cigarettes and coffee.
Like pick a struggle.

I looked at him as a response
"Apparently my daughter here." He paused placing his wrinkly chubby hands on his daughters head and she half smiled.
"My daughter has reported a crime, done by that bastard Owen Cimmel I know you know where he is. If you tell me where he is no one has to get hurt." He informed me.

"Even if I did know where he was.. I wouldn't tell you, your daughter is a fucking liar." I smiled to him

And his facial expression grew angry at me. Making me a little scared.
"I'm not liar daddy, see." She said pointing to the scar the Kyle gave her. I tried to keep calm because just looking at her dad I knew he was the type to beat the shit out of people for no reason.
"Kyle gave you that bruise Ashley.. Not Owen." I rolled my eyes at her. I wanted to scream at her punch her across the face for even saying those things.

"No. I clearly told you Owen." She whined the fake tears were long gone.
"Your a liar, and to think I put my trust in you. Helped you." I pointed to her, she was trying to fight back a smile, she was evil.
"Listen. My daughter isn't a fucking liar." Her dad barked at me walking closer to me slowly

I backed up looking around for help. The cashier was in crickets minding her own business. And Owen must have been long gone.
"You really think Owen would do that do her. He has so much respect for his own mother that he loves." I defended him continuing to walk backwards.

Ashley's dad didn't even respond.
He knew. He deep down knew it wasn't him. I became angry at his silence
"You know he would never do that."
"Shut up." He barked at me which caused me to jump in fright.
I looked at Ashley and she didn't even look at me, almost like she was trying not to see.

I back up into a corner of the store where her dad continued to walk up to me.
"No one hurts my daughter." He snarled at me with an angry look on his face
" You hear me!" He barked at me and I could feel his breath against my skin sending shivers through my body.

I didn't say anything. And he grabbed my arm pulling me out of the store, Ashley soon followed.

"You either tell me where Owen is or your going to jail." He barked at again squeezing my arm with a harsh force.
I looked away in silence. How I wished I listen to Owen, we wouldn't be here in the first place.

"Dad it's fine." Ashley spoke calmly to her dad.
He didn't listen
"No princess, who ever hurts you. Is getting hurt back."

"I didn't do anything!" I snapped at him getting a little brave.
"So tell where Owen IS." He shouted into my ear.
"Owen didn't do anything and you know that!" I yelled to him jerking around to get his chubby wrinkly hands off my arms. He was now starting to make a bruise.

As a managed to finally get out of his harsh grip

Ashley grabbed his shoulder attempting to hold him back. And he pushed her off of him causing her to fall on her back.

I feel like her telling her dad whatever she told him was probably not a good idea.
"Why haven't you called for back up!" I clapped back at him walking backwards again
"Wouldn't you call for other people??? Your daughter was abused." I snapped using quoting hand motions for abused.

"Ashley your a fucking liar and I hate you." I turned to her while she was still on the ground.
"Don't you dare talk to me daughter like that bitch!" Her dad barked storming up to me and pulling out his hand cuffs, he put them on my wrists on his way to lock my hands in them.

"Stop!" I heard a yell in the distance
I looked at the sound and it was Owen.

His hands were up in a surrendering way, he's so fucking stupid. But I was so relieved to see him here for me. The way I was there for him.

"Let her go I'm here.. it was me. It was all me. Don't hurt her." He said walking towards us
I shook my head wanting to cry so bad. Ashley's dad was still gripping my wrists.
"I did that. I did all of it." He uttered
" NO!" I yelled to him " OWEN SHUT UP."
He looked at me and nodded reassuring me it would be okay.

The cop instantly let go of me and I ran to Owen into his arms. He was so warm as he wrapped his arms around me. And I shed a tear into his chest.
"What the hell are you doing." I whimpered as another tear feel from my eyes.
He wiped my tear and before he could get a word out I interrupted him.
"No Owen don't be stupid." I said to him again.

"Shhh it's okay. Everything will be ok." He informed me hugging me again. Like what the fuck.
"Stop trying to be the fucking saviour all the time. You could face jail." I snapped at him.
His response was in silence.

"I'm trying to protect you Zara. I will always protect you. Even if it means something happens to me." He calmly said
"Fuck you." I spoke while unhanding him and storming to the cop. He was standing by Ashley trying to comfort her. And she was rejecting him.
"He didn't do it. He's lying to protect me." I bravely said to the cop.

"Ashley please. Your ruining his life." I pleaded with her and she looked away. I wanted to kick her so bad.

"Owen put your hands up and walk towards me now." The cop instructed grasping his gun.
I looked at Owen and he did exactly that walking to the us slowly.
Another tear rolled down my face.

He finally approached the cop and looked back at me.
And worded the phrase I love you to me.
And he shoved him into the cop car.

He slammed Owen against the cop car causing me to jump in fright due to the impact. And he cuffed him throwing him into the car.
I cried has they both got into the car. And drove off.
