We're both on Cloud Nine- Zayn Malik Fan Fic

2: Familiar

~Rydell's P.O.V~

The pounding in my head was frustrating. I had never had such a bad hangover. I faintly remember what happened last night. All I remember was seeing someones eyes that were similar to Zayn's but they couldn't be his. This guy had dull brown eyes.

I laid in bed looking at the ceiling. I really didn't have anything to do today. In two weeks I would be turning 19 but I wasn't excited. I would have had my own flat by now but Charlie insists that I stay at his house because he's scared I'll get killed. I wouldn't blame him for being worried but in all reality I had no reason to exist. I moped around my room until it was ten. I decide to go to the nearby park and spend the rest of the day there.

I put on some shorts, a nice crop top showing my belly piercing and some sandals. I put my hair into a messy bun along with a bandana. I grabbed my phone and my pipe along with the weed I got last night and put it in my pocket. Nicole and Charlie wouldn't be home until later in the afternoon.

They had business to attend.

I walked to the park keeping a high alert in case anyone approached me. I made it to my favorite tree and sat under it. I watched as the kids at the park enjoyed their childhood. Young parents constantly on their toes making sure their children wouldn't get hurt. I sighed and realized I missed having my parents around. I laid down on the grass and looked up at the tree. Tears were steaming down my face because I was going to spend another birthday without my parents.

I grabbed my pipe and weed and lit it up. I smoked making me relax and go into another world.

I could lay here all day.

"Rydell?" a stern deep voice asked. This caused me to come back to reality but I was still on cloud 9. "Where were you last night?" Brett asked. "To be honest I done even know." I told him.

"I was looking for you but I couldn't find you, so I figured you had already gone home."

"This guy took me home. I don't even know who he is." I explained.

He sat down next to me and took a whiff out of my pipe. He leaned next to me and whispered in a seductive voice "I like your shirt"

The thing about Brett when he's high is he acts like a major pervert. He played with my belly ring, but I slapped his hand away. I wasn't in the mood for messing around with him. He got somewhat pissed and moved on top of me, pinning me down.

"Brett what are you doing? Stop."

"Stop and stay still."

"No. Brett get off of me" I started to panic. I couldn't get out of his grip.

"Ooo I like this side of you" he said trailing his fingers up my thighs.

"Brett please stop" By now I was squirming. I really didn't want to do this. The bad part is the kids that were there earlier had left when Brett came. I was left alone.

"Brett please stop" my voice cracked when I said stop. My eyes were becoming watery. I felt hopeless.

"Didn't you hear her say stop?" Another voice said.

"Back off man this isn't your problem. She's my Bitch." Brett had never acted this way towards me. What the hell was wrong with him?

"Brett stop please!" I screamed at him. I closed my eyes and I suddenly felt Brett being pulled off of me. I look up to see a guy with a black leather jacket punching Brett repeatedly. He looked familiar. I grabbed my things quickly and started to run back to my house.

"Rydell!" The guy said. How does he know my name? I started to run as fast as I could. I heard the roar of a car engine come alive. The car started to get closer and closer right behind me. I made the turn on the corner only to be blocked by a black challenger making me collapse.

I sat there on the ground trying to process everything that happened. Faint memories started to play in my mind. This was the guy from last night. He saved me, but then he almost killed me right now.

He opened his car door.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" I screamed at him. "You almost killed me!" I screamed at him again.

He chuckled at me reaction. "You think this is funny? It's not!" I said completely frustrated. I got up and pushed him out of the way.

"The least I could get is a thank you!" he hollered after me. I started to walk away but he kept following me. "What do you want? Leave me alone!"

"Let me take you to your house. It's the least I can do for almost killing you." He said as he smirked.

"I'm perfectly fine. I don't need a ride my house is down the street anyways."

"Fine by me." He said. He hopped back into his car and drove off.

He looked so familiar. He had his black hair in a quiff. He had a lot of stubble on his chin and his right arm was covered with tattoos.

I started to walk again. Just my luck it started to rain. I started to run back to my house. When I got there Nicole and Charlie still weren't there. I threw the wet clothes into the dryer and went to go shower.

After my well deserved shower I got a text from Charlie.

Charlie: Rydell were having guests over for dinner. Please dress nicely. We'll be over soon.

Great another night of "Buisness". I went into my closet and picked out my outfit.

After curling my hair and applying make up I heard Charile, Nicole, and the guests arrive. Nicole called me over to her room.

"What's up Nicole?" I asked she had changed into a very nice dress. "Change of plans we're going out to eat with Charlie's friends. They're 2 guys and a married couple. Are you ready? They're waiting for us. By the way you look beautiful."

"Thanks Nicole, but you look better. Let me get my phone and we can leave"

I went quickly over to my room and unplugged my phone from its charger. I turned off the lights and closed my bedroom door. I walked down the stairs to be waited by Nicole and Charlie.

"Where's you're guests Charlie?" I asked him. "They're going to take their cars. Come on lets go."

We walked out of the house and into Charlie's Tahoe. We drove to the elegant and fancy restaurant where Charlie always did his business. We got out of the car and walked into the restaurant.

We made our way to the table where 4 people where already seated at. Two seats were empty next to the married couple and one next to a guy. I guess I'll have to take it.

Charlie pulled my seat out and I sat down next to the guy. He looked my direction and it was my great pleasure to be face to face with the guy from earlier.

"What are you doing here?!" I whispered. He chuckled and simply replied "Buisness".

Charlie went on about how their shipments of drugs were going and their cartels. I sat there dozing off and only answering questions that were directed to me.

"Well Zayn how long are you going to stay here?" Charlie asked. I choked on my drink as all of my thoughts clicked.

That's how he knew my name.
