Chapter 12: Things Are Not What They Seem …

Zayn’s POV

“Shit! He is going too far!” I throw off the picnic basket on the ground.

“Calm down Zayn. We tried to catch him but he is too fast.” Louis said while holding my shoulder.

“Do you see where he had gone?” I grasp Liam’s hand in order to make him answer me in instant.

“Nope Zayn. I really am sorry. I thought I had run fast enough but I’m not.” He looks kind of guilty.

“It’s okay Liam. Let him be. He will come back.” Harry said while sitting down beside Eli. He and Niall are trying to soothe her out. She was crying from the moment Liam had chased Dylan.

“Eli darling, please don’t cry. Please don’t make things any harder than this.” Niall said. My heart broke into pieces with each of her tear drops.

“But I was thinking for h-how long he was watching over us?” she said while sobbing.

“Don’t worry little sis. I will figure out about that.” Liam said softly. I can’t say a word to Eli after what happened. I don’t know why but I feel bad about this. That pricked had ruined my anniversary. I still had so many activities to do with her tonight but look at what the jerk had done. I walk towards Eli; I lowered my body to make my face on the same level with her. I cupped her face with my cold hands. I watch her deep hazel eyes, with sharp pin point nose. Her rose moist lips quivering when I look straight in her eyes.

“Are you okay baby?” I wiped her tears the unashamedly rolled on her cheeks.

“I’m not okay. I’m scared.”  She took my hand and stand up. She brushed all the dirt from her shirt.

“I don’t want to you guys hurt, Zayn. I can’t do it anymore. This is too much. You guys have to leave me alone. Let me handle him. I don’t want you guys to spend time with me anymore. Just go!” she yelled while crying. It hurts so bad heard all those words coming out from her mouth.

“What are you trying to say Eli?” Harry asked her as if he is reading my mind right now.

“Zayn, we can’t proceed our relationship. And I have to stop seeing you guys.” She said quietly.

“What?! Is that what you want Eli? Are you mad?” I shouted. I’m so shocked with her statement. How could she say something like that?

“Yeah Eli, what actually are you trying to do?” Louis asked dumbfounded.

“I’m afraid that Dylan going to hurt all of you. Let me handle this by my own. I don’t know how long had he watching over us Zayn. Maybe this is not his first time spying on us.” she explained. I turn my back on her but then I saw how guilty Liam looks right now. What was that? Once he saw I’m watching him, quickly he turned his face away. It’s not the right time to ask about that.

“Zayn, please forgive me.” Eli grasped my shoulder. I shrugged her hands off me. I was too offended from what had she said.

“I thought we supposed to handle this together Eli. How could you? I can’t even understand how you could say those entire things. Do you know how much it hurts me? Have you ever thought of their feelings? Stop thinking that we are outsiders! Your problem is my problem too!” there I said it. I mentally noted that I should ask for her forgiveness because I keep shouting at her. Sorry darling.

“No Zayn. Eli’s problem is our problem too. We are family, remember?” Niall said coldly. Then I realized Eli was crying so hard on Harry’s chest while Louis is rubbing her back to make her calm down.
