Zayn's POV

My poor angel, I think to myself, watching as she breaks down right in front of my face in Louis' arms. What have we done to her? Have we caused irrevocable damage? Have we caused a wedge, a rift, a dangerously high cliff between us that we can never, ever fix?

I watch her face; it appears as if she is having a battle with someone inside her mind. Her face is scrunched up, as if she was having a conipition fit.

"Lacy, love, are you alright? Come back to us," I request, waving my hand in front of her dazed eyes.

"I'm fine, I'm right here. No need to treat me like I'm crazy," she snaps, but her voice is softer than it had been before. I take a moment to look at her, really look at her, and I am shocked to see what I find. What had once been gorgeous and scarlet ringlets are now damaged and frail waves that are messy and ruffled. Her emerald eyes, the bright orbs that I once fell in love with, are no longer bright but dull and filled with sadness and sorrow. She is thin, in an unhealthy way, and her curves have vanished, replaced with bones that are barely contained by her flesh. What was once a vibrant woman bursting with creativity and originality has been replaced by an unhealthy and frail woman, a zombie to the emotions inside of her.

"Louis, mate, can we speak for a mo?" I ask, moving away from the two of them. Louis nods and briefly kisses our girl on the head, wincing as she turns away from him to curl in on herself. He walks over to me, his eyes flickering towards Lacy as soon as he has reached my side.

"She's not healthy; she's skittish, frail, bloody hell, you can even see her bones," I growl, my voice taking on a dark and angry tone. Louis grits his teeth and crosses his arms, trying to control the anger and hostility coming off of him in waves.

"I know, you blubbering idiot, I'm not blind," He snarls, attempting to keep his voice down as we see Lacy flinch at the harsh tones. I restrain myself from rushing to her side, knowing my comfort would be unwelcome and do more bad than good. Louis bares his fangs at me before controlling his expression and walking back over to Lacy's side. I glare at the other vampire, snarling as Harry's hand clamps down on my shoulder.

"Fuck off," I leer as his grip tightens, keeping me from turning and attacking him.

"You need to calm down," He orders, "The only person you're going to end up hurting is Lacy. Louis and I can take your fists and bites but Lacy is a human, she'll die if you get too angry."

"Don't bloody tell me what to do," I grit my teeth together and twist away from Harry. I run off at blinding speed, tears filling up my eyes as I realize I could have very well murdered my soul mate with the anger built up in my heart, the jealousy that was taking over me. My vision blurs, and I don't see the cliff that appears under my feet. I can't stop in time, and I fly off the side of the chasm, my feet and hands scrambling for something to find purchase on.

"HARRY! LOUIS! LACY!" I scream as I feel myself falling down into the pit, sharp branches and rocks appearing in my vision. I prepare myself for the inevitable as the trees and sharp rocks grow closer.

"I'm sorry I didn't say I love you enough, Lacy, my darling," I whisper, tears flooding my eyes, "I will always love you, and I hope that I will see you again one day."
