**ZAYNS POV**
I understand that from Juliet's perspective she doesn't want me to find Caleb. But if I am ever going to be able to keep her safe I need him out of my life. Whether that meant finally ending the dreadful deal we made, or something a bit more severe, he needed to be gone.
I looked over at Juliet, her curls shielding the face I adored. I brushed the unruly hair aside, taking in the features I had become so accustom too. Her green eyes were hidden behind the close lids, dark eyelashes hitting the tops of her rosy cheeks. Her body was so small and fragile. I found my self always being cautious maybe overly so. I just wanted to do this right, make her believe I would give her the world if it took that. I knew she would never ask anything of me, but I wanted to give her everything and then some. Seeing her happy meant more to me, than my own happiness.

"I love your wild hair, and your kind eyes, and the fact that you laugh at nearly everything. I love the way you wear beanies and crazy sweaters. I especially love when you tease me not worrying if I get mad. I love you Juliet" I whispered quietly, making sure the words were unheard by the sleeping girl.
"Maybe one day you'll feel the same."

**JULIETS POV**

It had been an eventful night. The make up sex, to the drunken fighting, it was all a bit wild. When I woke up I was quite surprised to not have Zayn holding me close. Instead he was sat on the edge of the bed sketching something out of my sight.

"Good morning." I whispered softly as I sat up in bed, the sheets being tugged up to cover my bare chest.

"Good morning baby." Zayn smiled, leaning in to kiss my lips.

"I didn't know you drew?"

"I don't really that much anymore, but yah sometimes."

"Can I see?" I asked innocently.

"When it's done."
I playfully sighed, as if I were a child pouting.

"Why did you stop?"
From the way his body tensed up, I could tell the subject wasnt a happy one.

"My mother loved my drawings. I would sketch her up things to put on the fridge when I was little. But when I left there wasn't much to draw anymore."

"Why don't you call your family Zayn. It's been so long."
By now my body had drifted towards his, my arms comfortably slung around him as I rested my weight against his back.

"They don't want to talk to me. And even if they did, what's the point. Like you said it's been too long."

"No I said it's been SO long. There's not a time limit on family. They will always love you. But I won't push it. When your ready..."
We fell into a comfortable silence, a feeling of comfort in the air. My arms still hugged his waist, my head rested on his back.

"I'm in love with you Juliet." He whispered the words as if we had said them so many times before.
I let go of his waist allowing him to face me, a subtle smile gracing his pouted lips.

"You what?" was all I managed to get out, looking up at him with unintentionally innocent eyes.

"I love you Juliet." he whispered again, the expanse of his palms resting on my cheek.

"I-I"
A look of fear settled in to his features, thinking I wasn't going to say it back.

"You don't love me do you?" His golden eyes stared at me in desperation.

"Ofcourse I do." I breathed out, a slight laugh falling from my parted lips. "Zayn if I didn't love you, do you think I would still be here? Your my protector, my hero, my everything. I love you Zayn" the widest smile crossed my lips, mimicking the one Zayn was wearing. In the simplest of ways in the simplest of places we said the words that had so badly been burning in my heart. For this moment Caleb didn't matter, though I know when this moments over, the search begins.
