~Chapter 16~

Zayn's POV

We are finally done with the tour and are on our way home. We are like 5 minutes away! I'm so excited, I've missed home but most of all I get to take Heather on a date! An actual date! We're still together and our relationship is getting really strong. I'm falling for her, hard. I'm so happy that she's mine. She was asleep right now, I had her next to me. We were all snuggled up because we were watching a film and she fell asleep. She looks so angel like when she sleeps, well she always does, but when she's awake she always looks so scared and worried. I felt her start moving around in her sleep. I looked down and I noticed that her cheeks looked wet and she was sweating a bit. I started rocking her in an aplenty to sooth her a bit. She calmed down and I heard her mumble a name that made me jealous and slightly mad.

"Steven" she mumbled as a tear rolled down her cheek.

I was mad. I felt my eyes burn, I got up and sat down on the chair. I noticed that Heather was starting to wake up. She wiped her tears and looked a little confused when she saw me.

"Hey." She said with a small smile. I didn't reply. I felt something warm roll down my cheek and I quickly wiped it away, hoping she didn't notice.

Of course I was wrong.

"Zayn, baby what's wrong?" She asked really concerned. It almost made me forget what she said in her sleep.

Almost.

"Who's Steven?" I asked bitterly. She looked taken a back.

"H-how do you know a-about him?" She asked and I saw her eyes tear up. I felt like hugging her and telling her it was okay. But I couldn't, I needed to know who he was.

"You were crying and you mumbled his name in your sleep." I said through clenched teeth. I was mad, but more sad.

"H-he's my ex-boyfriend." She said.

"Why did you say his name in your sleep?" I asked and another tear rolled down her cheek. She came closer to where I was sitting. She lifted her hand to wipe away the tear. I moved my seat a little more back. She looked hurt, but then she started talking.

"I was dreaming of the day I found my parents dead."

"What does that have to do with Steven?!" I spat more harshly than intended. She flinched slightly, but continued.

"The day they were murdered I didn't have a place to go after the police arrived. They left with their bodies and I ran to Steven's house. His parents car wasn't in the driveway and the door was unlocked so I just went in. I was crying my eyes out and I needed some comforting. Someone to tell me that I was going to be alright. I went inside and I didn't see him so I ran upstairs to his room. I opened the door and I s-saw him with a-another girl. They were kissing, well making out on his bed. The girl was shirtless and I guess Steven was working on her bra. He noticed that I came in and looked up. He had a guilty look on his face. I ran out of his room and down the stairs. I heard him yelling my name, his footsteps were chasing after me. I was about to yank the front door open w-when" she paused for a bit as more tears started slipping down her cheeks . I wanted to comfort her so bad, but I needed to know first what happen with this douche. I moved a little closer to her, but that's all. She took a deep breath and continued.

"When he grabbed my arm and made me turn to face him. He grabbed it rather forcefully that it sartre to hurt. I tried to get free but he wouldn't let go, his grip would just get tighter. That's when I realized that Steven was a dangerous guy. He always was. His face had guilt written all over it, but there was also something else. I noticed he was leaning in, so I kicked him in the balls before he could kiss me and made a run for it. I ran to the only place I had. I ran home. I was scared there, so the next day I got an apartment with the money that was left to me from my parents will and my savings and just left. I never heard from Steven again." She finished. I felt bad for making her tell me, but I just needed to know. I went up to her and hugged her and tried to calm her down.
