One night stand-Zayn Malik

Chapter 62- No clues

I hided my face with sunglasses and a hoodie as I arrived at the heathrow airport after 11 hours flight. I couldn't sleep at all in the airplane. My mind was thinking about Erica the whole time and with every hour I got more stressed. The car ride to the hospital made me want to rip my hair off because it looked like I was never going to get there. I got full information and a straight access to Erica when I finally stepped into the cold hospital building.

Without saying a word to Sophia ,that was so kind to stay with her, I hurried into Erica's room. She was lying in the bed connected to a life support. Her face looked bruised and I almost didn't recognize her because her eyes were swollen. I wanted to take her hand but it was broken so I just had sit down next to her and cry while I stroke her hair.

" What the hell happened?" I whispered as I wiped a tear with the back of my right hand.

" The police found her in the elevator in your apartment like this. They know nothing yet, they have to wait for her to wake up" I heart a warm and old voice say behind me. I turned around and saw her tired mother stand in the door. She probably had been awake watching her baby suffer since she was found.

I stood up and wrapped my hands around her mother that had been like a second mother to me since I moved to London and found Erica. What a blessing that family was for me, this wasn't fair.

" What about the security cameras? Did they watch them?" I asked and accepted a pack of tissue that she took out of her purse.

" Sadly there was no security camera in the elevator and they found nothing suspicious from the other cameras" She pointed at the chair I had been sitting at earlier and told me to have seat. She took another chair and placed it right beside me.

" What ? Why not? This is nonsense" I looked at Erica again and I couldn't imagine a person that could hurt that beautiful girl and make her look like this. So vulnerable.

" Security cameras are getting hacked and since Zayn was heard living with you Modest did have a talk with the security..."

My eyes started tearing up again as I heard her say that. It was all my fault that we could not put the bastard that layed hands on my best friend in jail.

" Tara? " I looked at her and I realized that my tears were streaming down like a waterfall down my face.

" It's all my fault! " I said between breathing and hided my face in my hands. I wanted to be there instead of her. Why did I loan her my apartment to study while I was on tour? Why didn't I know that Modest would take so much care of Zayn where ever he went? Why was this happening to her not me? She did nothing wrong.

" Tara you listen to me" She grabbed my hands and made me look at her. " You are a part of this family and I won't permit you to put yourself down like this. It is not your fault, she is going to make it I know she will"

I stared into her dark brown eyes and tried to see some hope there but I didn't. It was like she was trying to comfort me because I had not been around Erica for few months now. I looked again at Erica. She was not ready to leave. She had so much to do and she was doing such a great job in school and she just made me so proud. She was my best friend and sister. She was not allowed to leave me.

I wrapped a lock from her hair that was lying on her pillow gently around my finger and rested my head next to hers. I just wanted to hold on to her somehow.
