I sat on the bench peering out the window. I hadn't moved since Zayn left. I had too many thoughts clouding my mind to even focus on anything other than him.
I thought back to the first night we met. He saved me, little did I know he would be doing that a lot in the future.
He was so mysterious, so... angry. But there is so much more to him. He had become everything Alex wasn't. The violence was a small price to pay for his love.
Love, another thing I hadn't even considered to happen between us. Oh how naive.
A small creak at the door had my body shaking. I feared it would be Liam coming to report Zayn's disheveled body, but no. It was Zayn, unharmed, and alive.
My small feet ran to him immediately wrapping my arms around his neck.
"Your ok" I cried burying my head in his neck.
"Shhh baby it's ok." he gently whispered wrapping my body in his arms. It felt like home.
"Is this over, can I stop worrying now?" I asked in a pleading voice.
No answer.
"Zayn..."
"We can talk later baby..." his voice was low and soft intentionally trying to divert away from the situation bound to erupt.
"No! I want to know that this is done. what happened?" I demanded pushing his body away. Inside I wanted to keep him close, but I knew the longer he led me the easier it would be for him to take my thoughts else where.
"I made a small deal. I just wanted this to be over and now it can."
"Because the last deal worked out so great." I angrily spat peering him dead in the eye.
"Don't do this. You can be so fucking stubborn! All of this is for you! I am doing everything I can to make us work! I love you so fucking much Juliet but damn do you make it difficult!" He sighed combing his fingers through his jet black hair.
"If loving me is so hard then walk away! Leave me! Loving you is no walk in the park Zayn! All you ever do is hide things! I told you once that I won't be left in the dark and I meant it."
"Fuck!" he shouted, his irritation rising.
"I said that I would fight to end this. one of Caleb's men will be my opponent. if I win this all ends."
"And if you lose...?" I nearly whispered.
"I won't."
"But if you do!" Tears collected in my eyes fearing his response.
"I won't."
His stubborn nature was in full affect.
"Don't expect me to stay here and only get half the story. I'm not a naive little girl you can push around. Find me when you feel like telling the truth."
I tugged a beanie over my messy hair and slipped on my toms all in a rush to get out this flat. I knew if I stayed I would say something I regret.
"Where are you going?"
"Away" is all I said before slamming the door shut.
Where to go from here is still undecided.

I ended up walking to the park. My favorite tree vacant as usual.
I rested against the old trunk, the bark dry from the chilly air. I sat with my headphones in, drowning out the thoughts swarming my brain. I contemplated calling my girls, but I just needed a moment to myself.
I hummed along to 'let her go' by passenger, my eyes closed imagining another world then the one I live in.
"Juliet!" A faint voice called over my loud music.
I slowly opened my eyes expecting Zayn but no, it was much, much worse.
"A-Alex what are you doing here?" I asked wide eyed. The bruises from Zayn's brutal beating still apparent on his once perfect features
"We need to talk."
"About what?" I questioned with little emotion in my voice.
"I came to apologize for everything... For hitting you" he cringed at the sound of his own words.
"For anything and everything I've ever done wrong. I was terrible to you and you were the only one to love me regardless. I don't know what it is about you Juliet. I wish I could take back any pain I ever caused you, you didn't deserve it. I just want you to know that I love you, I always have and always will. One day I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me, and if not them just no your the best thing I'll never have."
I was at a loss of words. I sat there peering up at him in silence. I slowly rose to my feet, standing fairly close. Our eyes locked and I swear I felt the sorrow he held within. Every word just spoken was truth.
"I will forgive you, but I will never forget. I loved you, gave you everything and you threw it away. the scars you've given me are here to stay but I won't hold anger that shouldn't be kept on to. I love you Alex, not in the same way as I use to but a simple love. A general understanding of where your coming from. The next girl you end up with, treat her right. Be to her what you never were with me." I think we both needed this conversation. The closure I had been dying for suddenly happening. Alex was a part of my life I had already feared, and always will. If it weren't for Zayn I would have been cowering away, avoiding looking him dead in the eye. But now I stood strong capable of fighting my own battles. So I think atleast.
"Someone else is here to see you, but I just thought I would tell you I'm truly sorry Juliet."
My eyes followed his body as he walked off, stopping when I spotted an all to familiar head of raven locks. A mutual nod was shared between the two males leaving me utterly confused.
Had Zayn brought him here?
