Dangerously Seductive (a Zayn Malik fanfiction).

Chapter 10

The car ride was quiet, much to my liking. I wasn't happy with the way Zayn acted back at the shelter, and I had no desire to speak with him at the moment. His behavior was beyond inappropriate, especially considering I was at work.

"Are you just going to sit there or ar-" The obnoxious ringing of my phone cut Zayn's sentence short.

My hands searched my bag for the desired mobile device, retrieving it after the seemingly millionth ring.

"Hello?"

"Yes, is this Ms.Parker?" An unfamiliar woman's voice spoke through the line.

"Yes, who's this."

"I'm nurse Roberts, your listed as Alex's emergency contact. He's got some rather brutal injuries. He was beat pretty bad. His parents aren't answering and we needed to alert someone."

"What happened?"

"He's been emitted into the hospital. We can talk more when you arrive."

"Oh my god, ok I'll be right there!"

I hung up the phone feeling awful. I was no longer with Alex, but it's hard hearing someone you once cared for so much is hurt.

"Zayn we have to go to the hospital now!"

"Why what's going on?"

"They told me Alex was hurt. Someone beat him!"

Without an argument Zayn drove, I greatly appreciated his compliance towards the situation but it made me weary.

Once the car was securely parked, I rushed into the hospital in search of Alex's room. Zayn tried to keep up, racing behind me.

The woman at the front desk must have caught on to my frantic state, as I nervously looked around for someone to help. She kindly pulled me aside and attempted to calm my nerves.

"Hello sweetheart. What's the matter? Is there someone your looking for?" Her tone was intentionally soft, as she ran soothing strokes up and down my arm.

"Yes, I got a call for Alex. They said I was an emergency contact."

"Oh yes, the young boy, Alex Scott?Follow me." She guided me along the empty corridors of the hospital.

Zayn waited in the reception area, not really interested in seeing my ex boyfriend.

When we approached the unfamiliar room, the woman offered a small smile before leaving me to face him alone.

When I first entered the room, the sound of machines were the only noise to be heard. I bravely broke the silence between us, when I saw Alex laying in the bed battered and bruised from the head down.

"Alex what happened?" I gently whispered, fighting back tears. I know he beat me and did things no man should do to a woman, but seeing him this way was hard. I wasn't a fan of violence.

"Zayn M-Malik"

As soon as the name slipped from his lips my stomach dropped.

"What!? Zayn did this to you? Why?" I was still standing a comfortable distance away from his bed, but close enough to hear the heavy strained breaths leaving his mouth.

"He s-said it was f-for you. Juliet he's insane."

My heart sunk deeper than it ever has before. Alex was beaten so bad, he was barely recognizable, and to make it worse it was because of me. Though he hit me, nothing was ever to this extent. I couldn't decide what was worse, the fact that he was beaten or the fact that I actually wanted to defend Zayn, he was trying to grant justice to me by beating my abuser. I would have preferred a less violent approach, but now I knew that Zayn would go to any length to secure my well being. Wether that was a good or bad thing, remained undecided.
