Through The Dark | Zayn Malik

Chapter 3: New Home

I was trapped. Trapped into a place where the only thing you could see was the dark. There was no light.

Was I dead?

No. If I was, I wouldn't be thinking like this. I could feel my body but I just couldn't move. I wanted to scream but I couldn't. Voices were surrounding me but my eyes wouldn't open.

Then they finally did.

I looked around me and saw Emma sitting at a chair looking out of the window. Bags were visible under her eyes. I looked around and saw needles poked inside my skin. I was in the hospital.

Everything came rushing back to my head. Now I knew why I was in the hospital. Tears streamed down my face, knowing my father killed me, but I wasn't dead, but how did I get here?

"Emma," I called out softly. She turned her head towards me in shock. I saw tears in her eyes, and all I wanted to do was hug her.

"Oh my god Selena. You're awake," she ran towards me and gave me a huge bear hug. I winced when something stinged in my stomach. Emma pulled away. I pulled up my hospital gown and saw a huge purple scar. It was scar after scar everywhere. One from the burning stick and the other from my father stabbing me.

"Where is he?" I asked her. She looked down and played with her fingers. A gesture that meant she was nervous.

"In jail," she mumbled and I gasped.

"What?" Shock was all over my body. I was a little upset because after all he was my father but happiness soon came because I was finally free.

"I'm sorry Selena. I had to do it," Emma said and looked me straight in the eye.

I nodded and hugged her so tight. I didn't need for her to explain because I was just happy that I could finally breathe again.

"What now?" I asked her. She smiled at me.

"You're moving in with me! Oh my god this is going to be awesome!" Emma exclaimed.

"Okay, when can I get out?" I asked.

"Let me go call the nurse," she informed and went out the room.

I stared at the door and saw five guys come in. I looked at them and realized who they were. I just smiled at them. Louis came up to me and hugged me really tight, and I didn't care about the pain in my stomach.

"I'm sorry," Louis mumbled and I felt something wet in my neck.

"Louis, please don't cry. It's not your fault," I said. I was truthfully shocked he would cry for me.

"Can you tell me what happened?" He pulled away and looked at me.

"It's not something I'm comfortable to talk about," I said. It was true. Emma found out herself and the only person I talked to about it was mom. Just thinking about her caused tears to fall down my face.

"Don't cry Selena," Zayn came and took Louis spot and hugged me. I cried on his shoulder and he squeezed me. I pulled away and wiped my face. Zayn was about to say something but the nurse came in with Emma.

"Happy to see you finally woke up Miss Martin. Okay you are free to go but you have to be on bed rest. You have far to many scars on your body that need to heal. Please put the ointment that I will give you every single day to the scars on your stomach. Other than that you should be fine," The nurse said. I nodded. All the guys were staring at me with open mouths.

Before the nurse left she turned around to look at me,"Oh and Miss Martin," I looked at her to continue,"Please be careful. And I'm very sorry for what happened," she said and left. I just stared at the wall. Everything bad keeps happening to me. The room was quiet. I looked at Emma and she nodded, understanding what I was trying to say.
