Through The Dark | Zayn Malik

Chapter 1: Concert

"Daddy, please don't!" I pleaded but of course he ignores me and grabs the metal stick that was now burned and pushed it on my stomach. I bit my lip so hard, blocking the screams that were begging to let go, but I couldn't. Showing him that it was actually hurting me would only make him want to do more.

"Shut up you worthless bitch," he yelled at me. He let go of me and slammed my head against the wall. I groaned but stayed standing."I'm going out. This place better be spotless when I come home!" he angrily screamed at me and slammed the front door shut. I gasped for air. Finally able to breath.

I sat on the floor for a while. I couldn't do this anymore but where would I have run? There's no where. I only had one friend but if I went there my dad would immediately find me and do worse things I couldn't possibly think about. How did all this happen? We were once a happy family but ever since that car hit my mother everything changed. My dad used to be my rock, the man I looked up too. Now all he is to me is a stranger. A stranger that uses me as his punching bag. If only I would've got hit and not my mother I wouldn't even feel all this pain.

There was a knock on the door so I got up and saw my bestfriend Emma standing there with One Direction tickets and backstage passes. She smiled at me but then frowned when she saw my torn shirt and gasped when she saw the new scar my father gave me.

"Oh my god..." she closed her eyes. She walked in the house and led me to the bathroom."We're gonna clean this scar then were leaving," she said.

"But my dad-" I said but got cut off.

"Don't worry. I saw your dad heading to the club. He won't be back till tomorrow morning." she said and got working on my scar. I screamed and gasped at the pain.

"Go get ready," she said. I nodded and ran to my room.

I wore skinny jeans and a long sleeved sweather, then I just wore my black combat boots. I walked out and saw Emma crying. I ran towards her.

"Why are you crying?" I asked her. She looked at me and just shook her head.

"Nothing now let's go," she said but I knew why. Me. She was crying because I was in pain. I felt like crying but I knew it would make us cry more so I just ignored it and let myself enjoy my life for once.

We were in the second row for the concert but I didn't really care because I wasn't a fan. I didn't know who One Direction was till Emma told me about the tickets she got. It was all because my dad. I had no social life beside Emma. I had a phone but it was those old flip phones so I couldn't really do anything with it.

Emma screamed with a lot of other girls and I felt like my eardrums were about to burst. I looked up and saw five handsome guys. They were all beautiful till my eyes land on the one with jet black hair and beautiful hazel eyes. I turned to Emma who was singing along to the song they were singing.

"Who's that?" I pointed to the guy with hazel eyes.

"That's Zayn Malik. Bradford Bad Boi!" she exclaimed. Zayn. That actually fit him. I couldn't take my eyes off him the whole concert. What is happening with me?

He looked around the arena and he looked in my direction. I didn't know if he was looking at me, I mean there were so many girls behind me. I just shrugged it off and looked at the other boys. But I couldn't help feel like being stared at.

"Oh my god it's time!" Emma squealed.

"Time for what?" I asked her.

"To finally see them," she said. I looked at her confusedly and she handed me a backstage pass. My mouth went into 'o' shaped when I realized how stupid I was.

We walked back and showed the security our backstage pass and were led into the boys fitting room. Wait why are we going in there? I shrugged it off when Emma opened the door and screamed when she saw the boys lounging on the couch. I jumped at the sound. Emma looked at me and mouthed 'sorry' I rolled my eyes at her.

"Oh my god hi!" Emma shouted and she realized she was screaming,"uh..sorry I'm just really excited to see you," she said and grabbed my arm to stand in front of them.

"Ello love," A guy with blonde hair greeted us.

"Hi," me and Emma said. We were introduced to the others. The curly one with green eyes was Harry. The one with blue eyes was Louis. Then there was Liam who had puppy dog eyes. He actually reminded me of a puppy but when I saw his biceps I decided against it. Then there was Niall who had blonde hair and bright blue eyes. Then finally was Zayn.

"I'm sorry about her. She's not really a fan," Emma said.

"And why's that love?" Louis asked. I looked at Emma for help.

"Uh...she never knew about you guys till I told her so that's why I took her to the concert," Emma said and smiled at me. I noticed that Zayn was staring at me but I brushed it off.

"Oh well do you love us now?" Harry asked.

"Yeah," I smiled at them. Emma started chatting with them while I just sat there awkwardly fiddling with my thumbs.

"Hi I'm Zayn," Zayn said and sat next to me. I looked him and when my eyes met his I felt butterflies in my stomach. What the hell?

I laughed,"Yeah I know, I'm Selena," I smiled at him and he smiled back. His smile was to melt for.

"So did you enjoy our concert?" he asked.

"Yeah. You guys have a lot of talent," I said.

"Thanks. Hey do you mind if I have your number? So you know we can all hang out sometimes?" he stuttered.

"Sure," I said and saved my number on his phone.

"Selena we gotta go," she said. I nodded and got up. I was attacked by a hug from Louis. I flinched when he came in contact with my scar. I think everyone noticed because he let go.

"I'm sorry," Louis said. I nodded and wrapped my arm around my stomach to stop the pain.

"Are you alright love?" Liam asked and I saw concern in everyone's eye.

"Yeah I'm fine," I said and looked at Emma.

"It was really nice to meet you guys. I hope we get to see you soon," Emma said and took my arm that wasn't wrapped around my stomach."Bye guys," Emma said and we walked away. I turned around and waved at them.

We got inside the car. I kept squeezing myself so the pain will go away and Emma kept looking at me.

"Emma look at the road," I said.

"For god sakes Selena. Please stay with me. Look at yourself," She screamed. I saw my house in view and relaxed when I didn't see my dads car.

"Emma you know what's gonna happen if I do that. He will find me and do worse things," I said. We parked in front of my house. I looked at her and saw tears streaming down her face.

"Please don't cry," I said.

"Don't cry? You don't want me to cry when my bestfriend is in pain? Please just please. Think about my offer." She said. She wrapped her arms around me and gave me a side hug. I got out of the car and headed inside.

I walked inside hell that I call home.
