Better Than Words (Book 2)

Chapter 28

Once Harry opens the door I already was in his arms as he hugs me back I just lost it.

"He's gonna be alright Ems," Harry cooes as he rubs my back.

"H-how do you know that?" I sob into his chest.

"Because I know Zayn is a fighter. I known him for a long time, he is so in love with you and so are you with him. If it weren't for you, Zayn probably wouldn't be here right now...Ems you're his love, best friend and his hero. He couldn't ask for a more better wife, Zayn will be okay," He smiles.

"He said that?" I ask, my voice shaked as I wiped my tears.

He nods, "Well duh, I wouldn't make this up just to make you feel better. When you guys met he said he had a feeling you were the one for him."

We sat there for the past hour as we talked about Zayn, the girls and other random stuff. Once I got my chance to talk the phone rang, it was Dr. Wilson saying Zayn is doing well and is out of surgery. Also that he doesn't know when the exact timing that Zayn would wake.

"Its the doctor, Zayn is doing well and is out of surgery. If you like you could come visit tomorrow." I suggest, "Thanks again for watching the girls while we are in the hospital and while my parents are on vacation,"

"Anytime love, I might come tomorrow but I'm not quite sure. Now go and be by his side before he wakes up, I'll pick the girls up at 3 from daycare and preschool,"

"I'll let both teachers know you are picking them up," I smile. He nods. "Oh and Harry?"

"Yes?"

"Love you," I said giving him a hug.

He smiles and laughs, "Love you too Emma, now quit stalling and head to the hospital!"

I laugh and head out the doors.

~~~

I looked at Zayn it broke my heart seeing him in this position. Why him? Why now? I walk over to his bed side and took his hand pulling a chair over to his bed and sat down.

"I love you," I whisper kissing his hand and put my head on both of our hands. "Oh, Jason was put in jail he goes to court next week. I seriously hope he is found guilty and is locked up in jail...I'm think on going to the prison and have a little talk with him."

Laying my head on the bed with my hand still glued to his I reach down into the duffle and got my favorite blanket.

~~

For the next few days I never left his side only when I went to get food or take a shower/bathroom. I fallen asleep who knows when and how long when I was woken up by someone stroking my hair. I blink my eyes twice and got this rush of relief.

"You're awake!" I whisper-yell with a sigh of relief.

Zayn smiles and nods.

"How are you feeling?" I ask holding his hand in both of mine.
Zayn shrugs, "Eh, I am in a little pain,"

"Well, true...you did come out of surgery like four days ago," I smile and look down as a tear rolls down my cheek.

"Aw boo come here," He sweetly says slowly lifting his arms.

I sniff, "but I don't want to hurt you..."

"Then come over on this side, you won't hurt me hun," He scoots over and motions me over.

I slowly walk over and got on the bed, my arm on his chest and the other to support my head as another tear randomly came down my cheek.

"Why are you crying Ems?" He says quietly wiping the tears from my face.

"I'm not," I glumly say.

"You are too crying," he frowns as he pulls me close.

"I thought I was going to loose you..." I whisper.

"But you didn't, and you never will," He leans over and kisses me on the head, "where the girls?"

"Harry's watching them," I respond, "now, what happened between you and Jason?"

"Well..." Zayn begins.

Zayn's POV *flashback*

Emma already left for her shift and I already dropped Carly off at preschool and Brit at Daycare.

I was in my studio working on my up coming song when the doorbell rang. I made my way downstairs and to the door slowly opening it.

"You!" I yelled as I began to shut the door when he stuck his foot in the way and pushed the door open.

"Hello Zayn. What a pleasure seeing you here," He smiled.

"What the hell are you doing here Jason?!" I shouted. "And for the answer of your answer I live here with my wife and kids how the wife happens to be Emma!"

"Where is Emma?" He asked quite angrily.

"What do you want with her?! And why do you want to know where she is?" I replied bitterly.

"Like I said before...I promised her to let her back in my life and love HER," Jason stated.

I gave him a death glare as we began arguing back and forth before he punched me in the gut. I ignored the pain and pinned him to the wall, my arm to his neck.

Before I knew it we were upstairs still fighting. That is until he pulled out a gun.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa don't do this Jason," I surrendered.

"Why shouldn't I?"

"If you want Emma she'd hate you even more if you shot her husband, the love of her life. She wouldn't go back to you," I said.

"The love of her life? Pft please," He evily laughs.

"She didn't say yes to marry me for a reason," I rolled my eyes.

Second later the gun fired and hit me on the shoulder. I cussed and swore in pain as I fell down on my knees.

"Oh and by the way there's something else I want fr-" he clicked his tongue  while he spun the tip of the gun on the floor.

I didn't heard the rest because everything went blank but I sorta woke up when I heard screaming and yelling at the front door. Emma's here.

*end of flashback*

Emma's POV

"I'm just so grateful that I didn't loose you Zayn," I smile giving him a kiss. "Now I'm be back in about an hour or so,"

I got up and pulled on my sweatshirt. "Where are you going?"

"Too see what he actually wants!" I call from the door.

"Emma! Don't do this, I don't want to see you hurt!" Zayn begs.

"I won't. There will be cops watching to make sure I'm safe, I'll be back soon," I walk over to give him a quick kiss and went out the door.

Here goes nothing.
