Let's Call It Love [A Zayn Malik Fan Fiction]

Chapter 15

Lana's POV

Dear Lana,

  I'm sorry about leaving you. At the time, I thought that I was doing the right thing. I know that I've hurt you. I know you'll never look at me or talk to me like you used to.

   But I just want you to know that I still love you. No one can ever replace you as my bestfriend, or as my first love. I admit it, I regret what I did.

   I'm sorry, babe. Please take me back. I want you back. You will always be mine. I am so sorry, Lana.

                     Sincerely yours,
                             Craig

Lana deleted the email and shut down her laptop. She was sitting indian style on the couch in the bus, waiting for the boys to finish up their late night interview. Right now, they were in Chicago and the concert had just wrapped up.

Still shaken from reading the message, she got up and opened the door. Franz, her body guard looked at her questioningly.

"It's fine, Franz. I'm just going to get a bit of air. Y'know, pre performance nerves and all." She said

Franz smiled and nodded. "Make sure to come back in ten minutes. The boys would have arrived by then." He warned

"Thanks, Franz." She said, and walked away, still deep in thought.

She found herself leaning on a wall a few blocks away from where the bus was parked, trying to clear her mind.

She would never agree to get back together with Craig. Right now, she was happy, happier than she had ever been. Zayn loved her, Liam and the boys were her friends and she had her fans.

She would never give that up. Craig was just a memory, a reminder of what she had lost. He left her once, and she was certain he would do it again if he 'got bored' again.

"Lana?" A voice said, chilling her to the bone.

*********

"Get away from me." She warned him. His amber eyes were blood shot, his face gaunt, it was obvious that he had been drinking.

A flash of hurt clouded his face, then he smirked.

"I see the fame has gotten into your head, where's your darling little boyfriend?" He sneered.

"What are you doing here, Craig?" She said, keeping her face blank, though she felt her hands tremble.

"I'm here to take you back. I still love you, Lana. I know you still love me too." He said, taking slow steps towards her. With every step, Lana backed away until there was nowhere to go, her back was pressed up against the wall.

Craig leaned towards her, glaring at her pointedly. "Say you love me Lana." He said.

"Get away from me!" She yelled, trying to push him away, but it was no use, even in a drunken state, he wouldn't budge.

He grabbed her wrists and pinned them onto the wall. "Let me go Craig!" She said, tears streaming down her face.

"Not until you're mine again." He growled Lana struggled against him, she kicked and yelled until...

"LANA!" A shout said from somewhere. She knew it was him. She had never been so happy to hear his voice. Suddenly, the weight pressing down on her was lifted and through her tears, she saw Zayn punch Craig in the gut.

Feeling helpless and angry, Lana ran inside and found the boys and Franz. "Help! Zayn. Outside. Craig. Fight." She panted.  Almost immedaitely, they ran outside, leaving Lana with a frantic looking Niall.
