Part 13

Yasmin

"Yasmin where have you been?," my father's voice boomed over the FaceTime call. I sigh as I look at him with sad eyes.

"I'm sorry dad," I said softly.

"I have been worried sick. I haven't heard from you in a week! Are you ok? What is going on?," my dad said. I have been dodging all of my dad's calls. Only been sending texts like "I'm good" or "Call you back."

"I almost got on a flight to look for you!," my dad said.

"I'm sorry dad ok?," I said again.

"Tell me what is going on please baby girl," my dad said.

"....I ended things with Zayn three weeks ago," I admitted.

"What? Three weeks ago? Why are you just now telling me?," my dad asked.

"I know how much you liked him."

"That's true but baby girl what happened did he hurt you?"

"Dad...I can't compete with some of the girls at the club. He ended up walking a dancer to her car because she felt unsafe since her ex had been showing up at the club. And I just..."

"You thought it was more than just him walking to her car," my dad stated.

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because....she is gorgeous dad," I sighed.

"Nope. No. Do not do that. So you think just because another pretty girl is around, Zayn just loses all interest in you? You're gorgeous too. Incredibly beautiful."

"How can I know he will just want me?" My dad sighs and shakes his head.

"That dirty ex of yours really did a number on you. Have you ever noticed how Zayn looks at you baby? When I was out there to visit you, every single time he looked at you, he couldn't help but to smile. He looked so in awe of you and not only that, so grateful. He is grateful you are in his life he told me that. And you know what else I saw? Love. Baby that man loves you baby girl. The way he looks at you and treats you is love. Why don't you let yourself be happy? You deserve it after the hell you went through with your ex. You truly do and I see true happiness when you and Zayn are together."

"Dad....you just don't understand," I said while crying.

"Baby girl I do. You think I've never felt insecure before? I have. We all have. But baby....when you find true love none of that bullshit matters. I don't believe he has ever made you feel second to any other female has he?"

"....No he hasn't."

"Baby he owns an adult entertainment club. Yes there is going to be attractive women there but what do they have to do with you and what Zayn have going on?"

"The one he walked to her car, she likes Zayn. I have heard her talking about him to other girls and she's not the only one. He is popular dad they all love him."

"But he loves you. Why can't you see that?"

"Dad....Avery really broke me," I said while breaking down. My dad sighs heavily as tears pour out of my eyes.

"I know baby girl and I'm sorry.....just talk to me," my dad pleaded.

"I did everything for him! I worked like a slave to support us when he was in school. Working 60-70 hours a week. Then only to come home for him to belittle me and beat on me for the smallest things. Like the bathroom not being clean enough, the food not being cooked right; he dissected every single thing I did. I did anything he asked of me out of love and that is what he did dad. He beat me, told me how dumb and stupid I was and you know what? I believed him dad. I believed every single word. Then.....what he did with Ava. Dad....I didn't think I could get any more broken, but that did it. She was my best friend for over 5 years dad. I had her around Avery all the time, not even knowing what they were doing behind my back for years. Then he just dropped me like trash, and is now having this beautiful life with her. And what do I get? I get nothing!," I screamed in frustration. My dad has a look of pure hurt across his face. I wipe my face as I look down.
