Promise You Won't Forget {Zayn Malik Fan Fic}

Chapter 20

Chapter 20💜

When I woke up, I was in Zayns arms. I couldn't remember exactly what happened last night after I hung up with Liam, but I knew it was an eventful night.

*FLASH BACK*

"Roxi I'm back! I made some nice pals today while I was out." He walked into the room while I was drowning in my salty tears.

"Roxi what's going on? I knew I shouldn't have left you alone god damn it." Zayn ran his fingers threw his hair while getting on the floor next to me.

"I called Liam back home today. I miss him and the boys so much."

"We can always go back." Zayn smoothed back my hair for me.

"No, we are staying here. I just miss him that's all." I leaned into Zayn as my tears started to stop.

"If that's what you want, I'll do it." He paused. "Should I call my friends and tell them I can't join them for golf and football the rest of the week?"

"No don't do that. I actually want to hear a little bit about them. I'm glad you met people. When we spend every second together, I, and you, get annoyed." I laughed. "So what are their names?"

Zayn went on and on about his new friends. Even though Zayn didn't like golf, he still played with them.

They went surfing, swimming, diving, all sorts of things.

I was so happy Zayn was having a good time.

As the night wore down, zayn and I snuggled together closely. He rested his chin on my shoulder while I was pushed up against him.

*END FLASH BACK*

As I was whipped out of my thoughts, Zayn was saying my name repeatedly.

"Roxi!" Zayn shook me. "I'm going with my friends now. I'll be home soon." Zayn leaned down and kissed my head.

I nodded and rolled back over to sleep again.

When I woke up again, it was mid-day.

I rolled out of bed and into the bathroom to wash up.

I splashed my face with water then dabbed it with a towel.

As I looked back at my reflection I took in all of my features. I was pale. I looked sick.

The dark bags under my eyes made me look older and the color of my lips scared me. I looked weak and beat down and I didn't like it.

I reached for my makeup bag and pulled all of my products out.

One by one, I applied different things to make my appearance to look human again.

After I finished, I looked in the mirror once more and sighed. I placed all of my things back in my bag and walked out of the bathroom.

Sitting down at the counter in the kitchen all alone, I had time to think.

Who was I going to call next? When will I be gone for good? How will people react?

I finally realized I think too much so I decided to go for a walk. I threw a sun dress on, grabbed my phone and walked out the door.

"Aye!" Someone called out to me. "You look lonely."

I turned to my right to see a boy running up to me. He was blond and had a tan beach body.

"I'm not lonely." I smiled and looked away.

"I'm Abe." He smiled and extended his hand.

"Roxi." I shook his hand and smiled.
