"Avery? Is that really you?" Zayn asks, with a shocked look on his face.
"Yeah Zayn it's really me." I say, a single tear running down my cheek.
"So.. I'm guessing you guys know eachother?" Louis tries cracking a joke, earning a smack on the back if the head from Liam.
Theirs a long pause, before Zayn finally speaks up.
" I think it's time to tell you guys about my past." Zayn says barely above a whisper.
Everyone nods and heads into the living room, me and Zayn trailing behind.
"Ok. It all started when we were with my dad at the park" Zayn starts off.
* flashback 10 years ago *
"Daddy will be back, he just has to go to the restroom really fast." Our father says, nodding his head towards the bathroom across the park.
"Ok dad, i'll protect Avery! I'm a strong boy!" 12 year old Zayn says, showing of his muscles.
I giggle at his immaturness and nod my head, signaling to my dad that we will be fine the time he's gone.
He nods his head and makes his way to the restroom, while me and Zayn think of what we can do while we wait for our dad to get back.
"Lets go to the slide! Race ya their!" Zayn shouts as he speeds towards the slide, leaving me behind.
"Zayn wait up!" I shout as I run as fast as my little legs can carry me.
We get to the slide, worn out and decide to take a break and look at the landscape around us.
As I watch, I notice a car circling around the park for the third time in a row.
"Zayn, do you see that car?" I nudge him and nod towards it, while it's parking.
"Yeah, I thought I was just seeing things. Ignore it. Dad should be back soon. I'll protect you." He says. Putting an arm around me protectively.
I nod my head a continue looking at the car.
After seeing that, we decide to just keep playing and go down the slide.
After a long game of rock, paper, scissors, I finally won and went down first.
I go down and down the big slide, closer to the bottom, I see someone moving around. As I think it's my dad, I continue down until I reach the bottom.
When I reach the bottom, I don't see my dad, but a lady and a man in a black ski mask waiting for me.
"Zayn!" I cry out.
But it was to late. The person already had the blindfold over me and the gas mask on. I was being kidnapped from my only real family.
* flashback over *
By the time Zayn finished, everyone had tears in their eyes and were hugging us both.
"But I'm just happy she's back." Zayn starts,
"And never leaving again." I finish.
And for the first time in a long time, I knew that I was safe.
For now that is.
