A cup of Sugar (Zayn Malik fanfic)

The Airport

"Where are we going?" Juliet asked as they ran down the block to where Zayn had parked the car. They quickly ran away putting distance between them and Juliet's parents. The adrenaline in their bodies making every thing feel like a rush and adventure like. Like they were running away from the bad guys .in some action movie.

"We're going back to meet the boys at the airport. The flight leaves in an hour or so," Zayn explained. "The U.S won't be so different from here love." Zayn reassured when he saw a panic look in her eyes. 

Juliet still couldn't wrap around the idea that she had just run away from home. From the safety that she knew since she was little. The rush she got was bigger than when she almost got caught that one time when her parents came home an hour earlier. 

"Do you think my parents will try to look for me?" she asked timidly once Zayn had buckled her in and settled himself in as well. 

He took her hand, "Of course they are going to try to look for you, but they won't be able to bring you home. It's up to you now to make your own decisions love."

Juliet just nodded. Decisions are up to her to make? What if I make the wrong one? What if running away isn't the right decision? 

All the thoughts and what if's were making her head hurt so she stopped and just looked out the window. She had never been in a car and it gave her a funny feeling as the big box of metal smoothly drove through the streets of a town she has never seen.

"I'm hungry," Juliet stated.

"We'll get something at the airport before we leave. We're almost there," Zayn squeezed her hand and she just nodded. 

Once they arrived at the airport. Zayn tried to just walk in and find the boys with out a crowd of girls coming out of nowhere. And he was grateful that they hadn't attracted that much attention to themselves. Juliet just made him feel so.......normal.

Once they found the boys and the rest of the team they were escorted to a separate room away from the rest of the people. Juliet noticed people beginning to stare at them and that's when things got a bit crazy.

It had felt like everything was going by so slow. Zayn grabbed her hand and shielded her from any type of harm. Then he and the rest of the boys got surround by bigger men. All she heard was screaming. Juliet didn't know what was going on but just closed her eyes, blocked out everything and let herself be led by Zayn. 

She was so caught up in her mind that she didn't feel the gentle squeeze on her hand. "Babe? Are you alright? Can someone get me some water please?" She recognized it as Zayn and immediately wrapped her arms around him. "Shhhh, it's alright. You're ok love." All she could do was nod her head. She trusted Zayn.
