The sound of Zayn's footsteps resounded through the gymnasium mixed with the sound of Avalon's heavy breathing. She lays on the floor with her arms to the side. Her lungs burn and her knuckles are split, adorned with drops of dried blood. The woman's heart is racing but her face remains peaceful.



"Do you know him?"

"What?" Avalon swallows hard.

Zayn stops walking around her body and bends down to her level. "Do you know your husband?" He repeats.



Her skin crawls at the question. She forgot that she was someone's wife, because it had become mandatory to do so. If she let the remnants of her feelings for the father of her child reenter her conscience, morally Avalon couldn't do what had to be done. So it was best for her to forget about what could've been and focus on saving her daughter's life.


"Yes." She answers.

Zayn nods and stands up right. He rubs the scruff on his chin, looking down at Avalon's sweaty body. "Then you can agree that he's a coward, yeah?"

Her breath is shaky. "Biggest fucking coward I know."

Zayn presses his booted foot to her chest.



"Then as sure as he's a coward, he'll kick you while you're down."
