The Letter (Zayn Malik Fanfiction) [2013 Watty Awards]

Chapter 30

Beverly's POV

Mum somehow heard about what had happened at the car park. She barged into my room early in the morning, demanding that I tell her everything. I groaned as she opened the curtains letting the sun rays invade my used to be dark room. "Mummmmmmmmmmmmm," I groaned.

"Don't you Mum me! What happened yesterday?!" she exclaimed folding her arms, looking at me. 

I got out of bed slowly, rubbing my eyes and sat on the edge of the bed. "I was out street racing. I was challenged, so I accepted. We raced in the car park which meant drifting. When I won, my competitor, Champion, took out his gun after realizing that I knew he cheated. Afro luckily, gave me a pistol before the competition and warned me about my competitor so I drew my pistol out. We had a conversation in a distance with both of our guns pointing at each other. I shot but the bullet didn't hit him. I calculated it before shooting. Don't worry Mum," I said knowing that Mum would be scared that I shot someone. Hearing that, she heaved a sigh of relief.

"I told him why he lost the race because of his pride. He left the place since we had made a deal that if either one of us had lost, we would leave the place forever. At around 10, the police came so Ella and I quickly got the boys into our cars as we sped off. We got the police cars off our trails but Champion, followed me and then he shot into the car. Louis missed the shot since I got Louis to duck. Champion then drove next to my car before shooting Zayn's upper arm," I said.

"How is Zayn?!" Mum exclaimed worriedly.

"He's okay. I've treated his wound," I said assuring her motherly instincts. 

"You sure?" Mum asked for double-confirmation.

"Yes Mum," I said patting her hand and she stood up.

"You're taking care of Brandon. Lou, the boy's stylist will be taking care of Beth. Unless you want to take care of Beth.."

"Doesn't Lou have her own daughter? Lux?"

"Lou offered to take care of Beth too. Though I don't think that Beth will be much hindrance to Lou. Lux and Beth can be play-mates!" 

"If you say so Mum..."

With that Mum left the room. I stretched my body, cracking some bones. I looked at the time and it was 8 in the morning. Trust Mum to bust into my room 7 in the morning... Geez thanks a lot Mum.. I can't go back to sleep now.. 

I stood up from the bed and walked to the bathroom. I cleaned myself up before I walked back to my room. I changed into a pair of shorts and a random tee before walking to the kitchen to see if anyone else was awake. Ella was sitting on a high stool, drinking coffee and reading a book when I entered the kitchen. "Hey girl," I said pouring myself a cup of coffee. 

"Hey," Ella said without looking up from her book.

I sat across her as I looked at the book cover. My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. I took out my phone and started to read fanfictions on the internet. 

~After 1 hour~

Ella closed her book and put it on the table and looked up at me. I put locked my phone and put it on the table. "Did you bring any other books?" I asked Ella.

"I did bring other books.. But I don't think it'll last me for the whole trip.. What about you?"

"I brought 5 books but I've haven't touch any of them.. I'm more interested with the stories online."

"What books did you bring?"

"I've forgotten the books titles.. But I remember a Harry Potter book.."
