Chapter 9. Truth

Zayn's P.O.V

She started shifting away causing me to stare at her in sadness, it was as if she was walking away from me forever leaving me in a dark lonely place. "Wait, Aria..." I whispered, reaching an arm out for her. She slapped it away, getting up "No Zayn, I don't want to know. You KILLED your parents?! Wait, no, why am I asking?! I don't want to know! I'm out of here" She said, sounding really nervous and scared as she started walking off. "No! Please don't leave me" I pleaded walking after her. "Zayn go away!" She yelled, not facing me. I got annoyed so I grabbed her from around her waist and clamped my hand over her mouth so her screams and curses came out muffled. This is going to be very difficult...

Aria's P.O.V

I struggled against his grip, I was scared of him now. I mean I was before but now I was so scared, I don't even want to look at him. How could he kill his parents?! I wonder if Yasmin knows. I bet she doesn't...I have to tell her, I can't let her be next to be killed by this monster. "You have to listen to me!" He pleaded though there was a hint of annoyance in his tone. "No! Let me go!" I tried screaming but it came out muffled. I finally bit his hand, then his hand came off me as he groaned in pain. I was about to run for it but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me to him which made me bump right into his chest. I started pounding my fists against his chest so he could let me go as he struggled to keep his hold around my waist. "ARIA!" He screamed right in my ear, then he slapped me hard across the face. I turned quiet and held a hand over my burning cheek, glaring at him while panting out of breath.

"Will you please listen to me?!" He yelled.

"No" I said bluntly.

"Please?"

"No"

"Fine, but you can't tell anyone"

"No, I'm telling Yasmin"

"What?! No! If you tell her I'll hurt you" He threatened, gripping both of my arms tightly.

"Malik, let go. You'll stop my blood from circulating"

"I don't care"

I was about to scream again until he slapped me on the other cheek. "Stop it Aria!!" He yelled again. Tears started pricking my eyes but I let them fall freely. I finally built the confidence and slapped him back. He cupped his cheek and stared at me with a deadly expression. Ok, this is getting really stupid we're going nowhere with this. Finally I gave in "I'm sorry" I paused "Tell me then" He just stared at me. I shrugged "Ok don't then" I stared walking off until he grabbed my arm again, this time more lightly. "Ok, I'm sorry too" I turned back to him and gave him a fake smile.

"Well tell me then I don't have all night"

He just rolled his eyes "Well it's not like you have anything to do, we're on holiday genius" He sat down and signalled for me to sit too, so we sat down cross legged facing each other.

Zayn's P.O.V (A/N sorry for the constant change of point of views it's just necessary to me)

We sat facing each other then I started telling her about my dream and also my very disturbing memory that has scarred me for life...

-Dream/Flashback-

I was only 7 when this happened. I was begging my parents for us to go on a cruise. At first they couldn't take me because they were too busy at work all the time then they realised that I was being left alone too much and I wasn't getting any of their attention so they decided to give me what I wanted, a cruise. So we set off and the first few days were really fun. One day I wanted to go for a swim so we went to the pool but I realised I forgot left my towel and goggles at our room we were staying at, and it was only going to be my first time swimming so I had to have everything so my parents went to get it. Our room was at the very bottom so it took some time. After a while of waiting my parents didn't come back. But I was only a child so I didn't really get worried because I thought they were just taking a their time. That was until there was shouting and sirens and the ship (A/N whateva you call it... sorry I'm not the smartest lolol) started trembling, that's when I started to get really scared. I started screaming for my parents and kept crying so much, running around like crazy, bumping into people. I felt someone grab me and pick me up. I thought it was my mum or dad but when I looked I realised it was just a person who worked on the ship and he lead me to a lifeboat. I started looking around for my parents but I couldn't find them. That's when I started crying even more. Later I found out my parents had drowned in the sinking ship since they were still trapped in our room when the ship was sinking.
