Unbroken: A Zayn Malik Fanfiction

Chapter Three

I stood there, my mind had hit a complete blank. Here I was, with the boy who left me so empty for so long, kissing? He pulled away with a heartbroken look on his face, I hadn't moved an inch. "I'm sorry I though you fe-" it was my turn to interrupt him, I clung my arms tightly around his neck twisting my fingers softly back into his hair, kissing his lips like it was the last thing I'd ever do. I smiled when I felt him chuckle into the kiss mumbling something I didn't let him finish. We pulled away gasping for air breaking into a complete laugh fest in a matter of seconds. "That..I should've done that a long time ago!" Zayn was trying to make his signature pout only to bust out laughing again. "Just shut up you asshole." I was smiling keeping my arms tightly around his neck, fearing if I let go he would disappear again. I must have let the worry flash across my face because he was instantly hugging me as if he had read my mind. "Im sorry I left, I just had to get away for a while. I'm not going anywhere anymore I promise." He was whispering as I slipped my face into the crook of his neck smiling when I realized, I suddenly felt safe again.

"Where did you go? Have you been okay? What happened?" I was chattering off not caring if I annoyed him, I deserved answers. "I went to Georgia, I was perfectly fine I still am, and I just had to deal with some things." He explained calmly stroking my hair trying to calm me down. "What did you have to deal with?" I was lying on his lap playing with his hair. He paused and shrugged slightly. "It's just something I had to do, I didn't want to get you involved, it wasn't exactly safe for you." He explained shrugging it off. "Oh, you're okay though?" I was sitting up now looking him over, he looked stronger, almost rougher? His features looked more cut, his jaw was sharper, the veins in his arms showing whenever he flexed them slightly, he looked powerful almost. I shook it off considering it had been years since I had last seen him, things change. "Im fine Alli, really I am." He smiled getting up kissing the corner of my mouth quickly. I smiled and wrapped my arms around him enjoying everything about this, but I couldn't help but feel that he was different. He wasn't only different, he was hiding something I just knew it
