Better Than Words (Book 2)

Chapter 22

I let go of Jax before going over to Evan and kneeling down.

"Hey honey," I smiled opening my arms. "I haven't seen you in so long."

I don't know how I'm feeling right now. So much emotions! I took a deep breath before walking over back to Zayn and wiped my face.

"See why I didn't wear make up today?" I laughed to everyone and they all laughed with me. When everyone left we walked inside and sat in the living room.

"So?? What's your story on how your alive?" My father asked.

"Ok, so on my way back from Emma's I was driving and passed this guy on the road asking for help. So as nice as I am I stopped over and he told me he needs a ride to the nearest hotel, he hopped in and two minutes into the ride he pulled a gun to my head saying 'keep your mouth shut kid, now your going to listen to what I tell you ok? I know your little sister Emma' when he said that I wanted to say something but he did load the gun," He began.

I looked at Zayn then back at Jackson. "Was he Jason? You know my abusive ex?"

"No, why?"

"Tell you later now continue," I motioned him to continue.

He let out a soft laugh then continued, "He told me that I had to fake an accident or else he'll get you and kill you. I never let anything happen to my baby sister, nothing. So I followed his command," he told us the rest the story on how it killed him inside hearing me sob and non stop crying and screaming. The guy held both him and Evan captive.

Who the hell is this guy? I walled outside to get some fresh air and to calm down. Zayn walked out a few minutes later and sat on the front step with me.

"You okay?" He asked.

I squinted as the I looked out with the wind blowing in my direction. "Not really. First of all my brothers are alive and second, the guy threatened Jackson to fake an accident or else he'll find and kill me, who is this man?"

"I have no clue but who ever it is I'll make sure he won't ever lay a finger on my baby girl," He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me close kissing the side of my head.

"Awe thanks babe," I smiled.

"When the cops bring him over I'll put him in his place. And make sure he's put in prison for as long as he lives. No one ad I mean no one says that to the girl I'm deeply in love with," He promised me.

"This is why I love you," A tear trickled down my cheek. This man is the sweetest and I'm glad to call him my husband and father of my children.

Flashing red and blue lights came around the corner of the street. "Look who's here," I said slowly as my heart beat quickened.

I saw Zayn ball up his fists and I just hope he doesn't do anything that'll leave him in jail. Lord please don't let that happen. Not now, not ever.

My parents and brothers came out behind me as the cop brought out the man.

I gasped on who is saw. "He's Bella's kidnapper..."

I turned around to see Jackson picking up Evan.

Bella's and my brothers kidnapper snickered when he saw me and managed to break free from the cuffs and the cop and charged after me. I screamed but tired to dodge but he grabbed me and throws me to the ground. Zayn charged after him and body slammed him to the ground and the kidnapper turn around and punched Zayn but Zayn punched back, I then saw Jackson charging after him both him and Zayn pin him down as the officers got up and got theses stronger cuffs.

My dad raced over to pick me up. My head was hurting so bad that I heard my mom scream in fear.

Two hours later it seemed, I woke up in my parents living room on the brown couch with an ice pack on my forehead.

"She's awake!" My mom yelled. The boys rushed out of the kitchen and to my side, I tried to sit up but it was too painful.

"Take it easy Ems," Zayn said in a quiet voice.

I winced once more. "W-What happened?"

"The kidnapper, we didn't get his name because he was hauled over to the car, had the strength to break free from the cuffs and knocked out the cop for a few minutes and threw you to the ground. Zayn body slammed him to the ground and the kidnapper punched him then as always he punched back," My dad explained.

"Where are the girls?" I asked Zayn who was holding my hand.

"They are with Louis and Niall right now at home," he said.

"Oh," I sat up and leaned against Zayn. "I wanna go home. I'm tired,"

Zayn and Jackson stood me up and brought me to the door and we were on our way home.

Why does everything happen to Emma?

That little Zemma moment was cute for me, the way I pictured it!
