Figure 8

34. Maudsley. (PART TWO)

~Mason Nicole's POV~

"So Mason Nicole, what time were you outside?" The officer asks me.

"I don't know, like ten." I guess.

"Was anyone with you before or after the accident?"

"My mom and my little sisters, and then My boyfriend and his two friends."

"Do you think any of them did it?"

"No. He wouldn't let that happen if he knew he could stop it."

"Are you implying he knows who did it?"

"I'm implying he would break his leg to make sure I get my favorite flowers." I cock my head.

"Mason Nicole, notice how I said did you think any of them did it, and you talked about Zayn." He cocks an eyebrow.

"Because I know Zayn's records don't look the greatest."

"What do you mean?"

"You guys, meaning the court, the hospital, the police station, psych wards and law firms, see Zayn as this psychotic teenager that wants nothing but drugs, danger, and sex." I give him an attitude back.

"What else would he want?"

"People to care about him, or hell, take him seriously." I stand up and walk out of his office.

I walk out of the building and I feel even more angry and stupid. I walk harder and faster so I can get home already. I haven't heard from Zayn all day which is naturally impossible. I try his number another twenty times.

"Zayn, babe where are you? I just got out of the police station, the guy was trying to drill me and I got mad and left. Let me know if you're okay. I'm gonna go lay in your bed and try to calm down. Be safe doll." I hang up and sigh loudly.

"Mason!" Someone yells from the other side of the road.

I stop marching and look for the person. The cars all finally move and I see Liam. I try to run across the street and hug him tight. After a few seconds I start sniffling.

"Are you okay love?" He pulls away and looks at me.

"Yeah I just got out of the police station, I'm totally fried." I flip my hair away from my face.

"Why are you walking home?" He gestures to my lower leg.

"My doctor says I need to walk more to gain strength in that part of my leg." I think of it now and I realize it aches a lot.

"Bullshit, my car is that way I was just going to pick up something to eat over here. Do you wanna wait in the car?" He puts an arm on my shoulder.

"Yes please, I have a question though." I look up at him.

"Yeah?"

"Can you please carry me?" I whimper in pain.

He picks me up piggy back style and I rest my head on his back. I try to readjust and he stops and positions us better. Once we get by a little food market his silver SUV is right next to it.

He sets me down to open the door.

"Wait in here, I'll be back in ten minutes." He says as I shiver a little.

"Okay." I nod. He reaches behind me and pulls a blanket off the back seat. "Thank you."

"I'll be back." He closes the door and walks away.

I try not to think about my aching foot as I see Connor, Devin, Nick and some other guys smoking. Devin is the only one that notices me and he puckers his lips jokingly. I smirk at him and he does the same. He nudges Connor to look at me and he waves. I wave back. Nick waves around his pelvic area and his other friend starts to laugh until Devin death glares at them. I suck on my two my fingers seductively, slowly sliding in and out staring at the guys, Devin smirks knowing exactly what I'm gonna do. I slide my fingers out then flick him off and their façades change.
