Mistakes

I didnt do it.

Vanessa's POV

"Vanessa?" I heard Zayn's worried voice say from the other side of the door. "Is everything okay?"

"Y-Yeah." I managed to stutter. I looked in the mirror in the washroom and then at the pregnancy test which said positive.

"Is something wrong?"

How was I supposed to tell him? Just last night he had told me that he didn't want a baby at the moment. Tears trickled down my cheeks. What if he left me. I had found the idea of becoming a mother both exhilarating and terribly frightening.

"Vanessa, open the door please, you've been there for a long time." Zayn said.

I hesitantly opened the door.

Zayn breathed out a sigh of relief. "What is going on, Vanessa? Why are you crying?"

"It's nothing. Don't worry about it." I said. I wasn't ready to tell him just yet.

"Oh c'mon. You really expect me to believe that?"

"Please Zayn. Just leave me alone."

He then noticed the pregnancy test in my hand.

"What's that?" He asked.

I quickly tried to hide it behind me, but he got it out of my hand. I panicked. He examined it for a couple of seconds, then he looked at me.

"You're pregnant?"

"Zayn, please. Don't-"

"Are you pregnant?" His hazel eyes bore into me, his face expressionless.

"I know we weren't planning on this, but-"

"ARE YOU PREGNANT, DAMMIT!" He screamed. I jerked back in fear. He hadn't screamed in anger. He had screamed in desperation, in frustration.

"Yeah." I whispered.

"Oh God, Vanessa."

I didn't to dare to look at him. I kept my gaze on the floor.

Zayn kept his finger on my chin and lifted my head up.

He had tears in his eyes, and a smile on his lips.

He embraced me. "I'm so happy. I'm so sorry for yelling at you."

I pulled out of the hug. "So you're not pissed?"

"Why would I pissed?"

"Because last night you said that you didn't want any kids at the moment."

"Yeah I did say that. But now since we're having one, I couldn't be anything but happy."

"I love you."

"I love you too, babe." He said smiling. He pulled me closer. He put his forehead on mine. Then he started shaking me. "Wake up, Vanessa. Wake up."

As my eyes fluttered open, I saw Zayn's face in front of me.

"Thank goodness, you woke up. You were smiling whilst you were sleeping. Look who's here." Zayn pointed at someone. My vision was a bit blurry. As that person came closer, I identified who it was.

"Alex." I managed to croak out.

"Vanessa." He said. I could see that he had been crying. His green eyes were puffy and his cheeks were red.

He hugged me and then kissed me on my forehead.

He kept his head in the crook of my neck. I could feel the wetness of his tears on my shoulder.

"I'm so sorry, Vanessa, I couldn't save you. I'm a bad brother."

"Don't you dare say that, Alex. You are the best brother I could ask for."

He suddenly stopped hugging me. "Who was it, Vanessa?"

I looked at Zayn. He nodded his head, indicating that he hadn't told Alex.

"Alex, it doesn't matter. What matters is I'm back."

"It does, Vanessa, it does. Tell me who it is so that I can beat him up." He said, narrowing his eyes at Zayn. I knew something had happened between the two of them.

"You aren't going to believe me, Alex."

"Tell me, sis."

"Zack."

"Huh?"

"Zack Lanceburg. He abducted me. I know that sounded crazy but it's the truth."

"And she's pregnant." Zayn said. Alex and I looked at him.

Alex turned back to look at me. "Is that true?"

"Yeah."

"May I come in?" Dr. Rollins said. She was standing outside the door, her head peeping in.

"Yeah."

She walked in.

"I have good news for you, Ms. Pettyfer." She said beaming at me.

"What?"

"Well turns out your abductor isn't the one who got you pregnant."

"Then who is it?" Alex asked just as startled as I was. I hadn't been in bed with anyone but Zayn. That too it was two years ago. So it narrowed down to Zack.

"It's your boyfriend, Mr. Malik."

There was a moment of silence. There was no possible way that I was pregnant with Zayn's baby. Unless he..

"That's not-" Zayn started but was cut off by me.

"When can I leave, Dr. Rollins?"

"Tomorrow." She said. Her phone started ringing. She excused herself from the room.

"Vanessa, it's not what-"

"Get out." I said softly. I had mixed emotions. I felt angry, sad, stressed. But mostly, betrayed.

"Vanessa, pl-"

"GET OUT, ZAYN!" I screamed. I broke down into tears. "I TRUSTED YOU."

"Vanessa please-"

"She asked to get your fucking ass out of here." Alex roared. I looked up at them. Alex threw a punch at Zayn's face. Then another. Soon there was blood coming out of Zayn's mouth.

"Okay Vanessa, I'll leave." Zany said, barely audible. He walked towards the door of the hospital room and twisted the door knob. He turned around.

"I love you." He said as he walked out of the hospital room.
