Better Than Words (Book 2)

Chapter 29

"What do you want from me?" I question him as the officers led us to a room and handcuffed Jason to the table.

"Hello Emma," he deviously says.

I glare at him. "Answer my question Jason!"

He laughs in a evil like tone. "You know what I want Emma...you,"

"I'm not just what you want Jason," I say, "you want something else, I know it. If you want me then why did you wait so long to show up in my life? When you should know that I'm married to a celebrity,"

"Admit it Ems, you just married him for his money," he leans back in his chair and smiles.

"Don't you ever call me Ems! And I did not marry Zayn for his money! I married him because I love him! I love him way way more than I loved you. He actually truly shows me love and respect,"

He shakes his head. "Okay then. Maybe he just asked you to marry him because you are drop dead gorgeous and he just wanted to Fuck you or something," He kept on making up these things. That made my blood boil.

"Stop it!!" I yell, "He didn't ask me to marry him because of that! He married me because he loves me like I love him, Zayn knew that I was the one for him. I, I knew that he was the one for me! I didn't come here for you to talk shit about my marriage, the reason why I came here is to get answers! Answers on what you want from me!"

I spent probably about forty five minutes with him asking over and over what he wanted from me. What he wanted was me and this pendant that he gave me when we were dating. I don't have that pendant anymore, I threw it away when I broke up with him. Well when my friend broke up with him for me...I don't know how to word that.

One question that has been bothering me is why did he come after me now? Years later?

~~

"How did it go?" Zayn asks when I came in to his room.

"Okay," I sigh, "He wouldn't answer my question for like 45 minutes. Jason kept talking crap about on topic that made my blood boil,"

"What?" He sits up and makes room for me.

"On our marriage. Why we actually married," I close my eyes and took a deep breath.

I open them and saw Zayn's expression fall, "what did he say?"

"Saying that the reason why I married you is for your money. Which of course you know isn't true like at all! And that you asked me to marry you because I'm drop dead gorgeous-Which isn't true- and because you just wanted to Fuck me whenever you want," I slowly say.

He slaps my arm. "Ow!!! What was that for?!"

"'Cause you said you weren't drop dead gorgeous. You are too! Don't ever say that, okay? And that isn't why I asked you to marry me. I asked you because I knew you were the one and I really love you," He admits.

"I know that's what I said," I felt tears building up but they already escaped.

"Hey hey, why are you crying?" Zayn asks pulling me close.

"Its just so much pressure and stress," I cry.

I ended up telling him what Jason wanted and we ended up making a final and official decision on putting a restraining order on him. I feel much safer now. There are also reasons on why we didn't do it in the first place.

I try to push the thoughts away and got the remote off the table and turned on the TV. Cuddling up with Zayn we watched a movie before Dr. Wilson came in.

"How are you feeling Zayn?" He asks.

"Feeling a bit better, I'm not in excruciating pain any more," Zayn informs the doctor.

"Good, Good. You could be out of here in two days or so but not long," Dr. Wilson smiles and adds, "If you want Emma there is the pull out bed in the corner,"

I shrug, "Okay."

He wonders out the door while I pull out the bed. Pushing it closer to Zayn's bed, I sigh, "Why is my life so messed up?"

"What do you mean?" Zayn asks as our hands intertwine.

"Everything is happening to me...My parents neglected me pretty much when I was a teenager and part of my childhood, I got into a abusive relationship, Jackson 'died in a car accident' ," I begin to say throw in out the air quotes. "I get choked when we were at the Bahamas, I was notified that my both brother's were actually alive, Jason comes after me, and now you getting shot in the shoulder...my life is just messed up!"

He grips my hand and looks at me. "Your life isn't messed up Ems, things just happen. The reason why I got shot was because I was protecting you and our family...no one will never break us or the family apart, I'm gonna always protect you and the girls no matter what don't forget that, okay?"

I nod and laid next to him. Zayn turns on his good arm and cautiously ran his hand in my dark, soft brown hair. He kisses my forehead before I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep, it like 8pm already and I had a log rough day...Zayn especially so I was all worn out.

I wake up and found myself on the hospital bed but Zayn wasn't there just then the toilet in the bathroom flushed and the door opens.

"Good morning sunshine," he whispers giving me my morning kiss.

"Morning," I smile rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. "How's your shoulder?"

He moves it and shrugs, "Still sore but I can move it more then I could yesterday,"

"Good."

So again I know I'm not good at writing but I'm trying...there will be another final book of this series. Next chapter will be the last on of this book. I'm sorry for this poor writing of mine...Idk why I joined this in the first place :(
