Betrayal ➳ z.m.

18- Memories

- Ally -

It was six o'clock in the morning, and I only slept for five hours. Kylie decided not to come to school with me today because she didn't really wanted to.

I quietly made my way to the bathroom and got myself ready for school. Since it was a rough day yesterday, I didn't plan on putting makeup on. I put my hair into a messy bun, pulled the loose strands of hair back into my hair with some bobby pins, washed my face and brushed my teeth afterwards. It was cloudy outside so I decided to put on a denim jeans along with a light blue sweater.

Sara told me she didn't felt good so she would stay at home today.

Great, I was alone. I took my bag and my phone and went downstairs. I noticed that Zayn texted me.

From: Zayn
I'll pick you up in ten x

He wrote that five minutes ago, which meant he was coming in five minutes. I put on my shoes and jacket. To prevent waking up Kylie and Sara, I already went outside and waited for Zayn at the sidewalk.

I saw Zayn's car driving towards my house, his arm was hanging out of the window, and he held a cigarette in his hand. Before I could open the door, he got out and ran to my side to open it for me.

Once he opened the door, I got in the car and he closed it so he could get to the driver's side again. "Are you feeling any better now?" He asked me. His voice was sad, and his facial expression showed me that he didn't slept that much either. I felt bad, he didn't have to stay with me all night.

I nodded, and with that he started the car and began driving to our school. It was dead silent, and I felt very uncomfortable. I just stared out of the window and waited for us to arrive at school.

Ten minutes later we finally arrived, and before I got the chance to get out of Zayn's car, he held me by my arm. "Wait a minute." He said.

I furrowed my eyebrows. "What happened?" I turned around to face him and to see a saddened face of his. He didn't say anything. "Zayn?"

For a moment, he got lost in his own thoughts, then he shook his head. "It's nothing important, I'll tell you later." He got out of the car and I sighed. What did he want to tell me?

- Zayn -

Last night, after I dropped Ally at her house and drove over to Harry's, I thought about Ally's parents' accident. I didn't think that this happened by chance. The company was still looking for Adam, and that probably meant they would even kill someone from his family just to get information. They wouldn't just simply give up on this case, I mean, Adam killed our best men. I thought that they were the ones that crashed into them, obviously on purpose.

I texted Harry that I'd arrive any minute and that he should be standing at the door so I wouldn't wake up Gemma and Anne. And as I told him, he just opened the door as I turned off the engine. He's always right on time.

When I reached the door Harry greated me with a brotherly hug, and I think he noticed that something was wrong. We got upstairs, into his room, and sat on his bed.

"What's going on with you? You look so pale." He furrowed his eyebrows, combined with a worried look on his face.

"Harry," I sighed. "Ally's parents have had a horrible car accident. Her father is in coma, suffering from liver and kidney malfunction. And her mother is badly injured."

He was shocked. "How did that happen?"

"They haven't told us yet. But I think it was the company."

"What? Why do you think that?"

"Do you remember when Rease learned that Adam killed Paul and Mike?"

*FLASHBACK*
We were all sitting at the big table in the company, talking about the upcoming missions. Adam was sitting next to me, typing something on his phone. Rease got a phone call, and he went outside to pick up. When he left, the room became dead silent, for no reason at all. Only minutes later Rease came back, and what I saw wasn't what I expected from someone who just had a 3 minute phone call. His face was red, his fists balled together, his eyebrows furrowed. He ran over to Adam and took him by his jacket, lifting him up in the air. "You little bastard!" He breathed heavily. "You killed them!"

"I killed many people. Who are you talking about?" He said, being completely calm like there was nothing to worry about.

"Paul and Mike, you son of a bitch!"

"Ah, those two. Yeah, they deserved it." He smiled, and this time, it wasn't a normal smile. It was creepy.

Rease threw Adam against the wall, his head banging against it multiple times. He hit him several times in the face with his foot, making many parts of his face bleed. He also broke his nose.

"You! You deserve to die! Not them! How dare you to kill them?! What has gotten into you?! You are going to regret this, I promise that. You'll see." He hit him again. This time harder. And harder. And harder.

Harry and I stood up to hold him back from killing Adam. He did something bad, I won't lie. He's done many things, but still... He was my friend. He was like an older brother to me. I couldn't let Rease kill him. Never.

"Sir, please stop. You are going to kill him." Harry begged.

"I don't care! Just let me do my thing you ungrateful teenagers!" He got even madder than before.

This was the first time that I was that scared of him. I've never been this scared before. I just wanted to take Adam and leave.

Two of our men, Kyle and Bryan, who were very muscular and apart of that our security men, came and dragged him away from us and Adam and up to his office.

Bryan immediately came back and whispered to Harry and me: "You both better take Adam to hospital. But don't you dare bring him back here. He's not welcome anymore." With that, we pulled him up and took him to my car. I drove to hospital as fast as possible. He was knocked out, and I hoped he didn't die anytime.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

"Yeah, I clearly remember that. It feels like it was yesterday." He paused. "Do you really think that this all has to do with Adam?"

I nodded slowly. "Yes, I do. And if this is going to go on like that, more and more people are going to get hurt. Ally, Sara, her family, maybe even more. I can't let this happen." I layed back, rested my head on a pillow. I was very tired, I couldn't even imagine how tired Ally must have been.

"Actually, if I think about it, you are right. Rease always said he was going to take revenge. But what can we do against him?" Harry looked at me with a questioning face.

"There is only one thing we can do."

"That is?" His eyes widened like he already knew what I was going to say.

"We have to kill him."

***

We made plans. We really planned on killing Rease. That was going to be the most dangerous thing we've ever done. And to be honest, I was scared to hell.

In school both Ally and me were quiet most of the time. She offered me to come over, and I said yes. I wanted to spend my time with her.

The more I think about Ally and me, the more I think we're getting serious by time.
