Zayn's Best Friend

65. The Dead Man

Lilly's POV
I had to keep Zayn away from this guy. The rumors are confirmed, I would do anything for Zayn, even if it means to sacrifice my life. He saved me from so much, but now, it's my turn to save him.

Zayn's POV
Lilly is my everything and I will not lose her. I love her so much, I feel empty when she isn't with me. Just like the song Half A Heart on our album, "I'm half a heart without you." I wrote that song with the help of the lads for my girl.
We were at our positions and I was able to go through an underground tunnel to the attic. I found that b@stered trying to rape my girl. I shot him right in the head and he passed out. I came out from the shadows and unchained my love. We kissed softly and Lilly smiled at me with tears in her eyes. She put on clothes I brought for her with her gear and I was on the communicator with everyone and we snuck out. We got a video feed from everyone and what happened. I texted Lilly's dad and the police was on their way. We put everything in the van and waited. I just held my Lilly.
She snuggled into my arms and sighed happily. 15 minutes later the police came and we were interrogated and we went home.
When we were home, I took care of my Lilly. She had a few scratches on her arms and a few bruises, but otherwise, she said she was fine, but I knew her better. We were in the bathroom and she looked at herself in the bathroom mirror. She sighed and said, "I thought it was over..." I wrapped my arms around her and put my hands on her stomach with my chin on her collarbone.
I said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let you go." She sighed, turned around and put her hand on my cheek. She brought my face to kiss hers and she kissed me softly. She frowned and said, "I don't want you to kill yourself just for me." I looked at her with tears starting to fill my eyes,, "I would give my life to save you."
She said, "You don't have too." I whispered, "I want to." I leaned down, brought her close to me and kissed her with so much passion, she trembled. I pulled away for much needed air and pressed my forehead to hers and felt her breathing against my lips. I pulled her into a hug and whispered into her ear, "I made a promise to you," I took her hand that had her promise ring and engagement ring I gave her, and continued, "I promised to love you and never let you go, but, I also promised to protect you, not only from other guys, but Alec," tears started to fill my eyes as I poured out my heart and soul into my speech, "I will always love you, I broke my promise of protecting you, I'm sorry." My voice cracked on the last two words and tears spilled from my eyes and onto her collarbone. She pulled me to the bed and laid me on the bed.
We were in a sitting position and my head was in her neck, and arms around her. Her arms were clutching my shirt and I sobbed, "I thought he tried to do it again, I-I will never let you go." She pulled my head from her neck and wiped my tears, and I wiped her tears away. She whispered, "Thank you for saving me Zayn, you are my hero." She kissed me and pulled away, but she pulled away blushing. I asked, "What? I know you're embarrassed, why?" She blushed a deeper red and said, "I just want to see you with you without your shirt. I just want to feel your warmth around me and trace your tattoos." I smiled and pulled my shirt off. I pulled her close and I felt her trace my tattoos and my abs. She just smiled and said, "I love you, my hero." I smiled and said, "I'm not a hero, I'm just Zayn, a normal lad." She brought my face to look at hers, she said, "Yeah, but your my Zayn, my lad." I said, "I love you, my Lilly." Lilly said, "I love you, my Zayn." We kissed, but this kiss was different, I felt different, I felt passion...

I felt complete...
