Before reading the chapter, I'm sorry it's gonna be the last one but I don't think the story will do any better if it's extended. And I'm sorry for making you wait this long for the end, but my exams took place and I barely had time to breathe. Thanks if you understand x
Oh and the chapter is no one's POV, I guess it's the narrator's 'cause this is the end and we should let some differences take place,right?
Alright, On with the story..
.Chapter 43. "The Final Battle"
~ 9 years later ~
"Arielle, C'mon,love. It's bedtime." Elena told her little daughter of 7 years as she turned her whole body and walked towards her ready to walk her to her room.
"Mom! I wanna stay till 12 just for once! I wanna feel myself getting a year older, want to witness my 8th birthday!" Arielle exclaimed in her cute little voice letting her frustration take over.
"And that's the same reason why I'm making you sleep at 9:30. Tomorrow's your birthday which means that it's gonna be such a big day, so you have to get some good sleep." Elena explained as she passed by the living room and up to Arielle's room taking Arielle's petite hands in hers.
"Goodnight, daddy." Arielle yelled for her father to hear.
"Goodnight, sweetie." Zayn responded but his voice carried nothing related to enthusiasm as it did every night when his dear little daughter was off to sleep. That showed Elena that there was something up with him, so she kissed her daughter goodnight and closed the door of her room behind her going up to Zayn who was laying on the couch in the living room.
"Is everything okay, Zayn?" she asked as she occupied the space beside him on the couch.
"Yeah, everything is great." he replied smiling over at her but she could tell that he was clearly faking it, but she didn't wanna push his buttons anymore because he can lose his temper easily especially after they made a deal and a program for him in order to quit smoking.
"Alright,then. I feel like sleeping, you're gonna sleep or what?" Elena asked changing the subject knowing exactly that Zayn was in that dull state of his because he was craving for cigarettes.
"No, I'll stay up for a while." he replied giving her a kiss before she said her good-nights and went upstairs to her bedroom.
Elena replayed her typical routine before going to bed and got dressed in some comfy pajamas but as she was about to adjust herself on her side of bed, the door of the bedroom was crack-opened and revealed a very tired looking Zayn.
"Elena, tell me where you're hiding my cigarette packets." Zayn blurted coming up to her unaware of what he's asking for, thinking that Elena would give in that easily and hand him the packets.
"No, Zayn. We've talked about all of these before, just try and keep on to our plan, for me and for Arielle, please." Elena literally pleaded looking into Zayn's eyes which were darkened because of his hunger.
"I can't I tried, tried harder than I've ever done before but I just can't." he said running both of his hands all over his face in frustration.
"But Zayn you're stron--"
"Just give me the packets, El." Zayn cut her off unable to wait any longer for feeling the thin white thing between his lips.
"No." Elena fought back building up enough confidence to do so, but this confidence shook a little when she sighted Zayn's clenched jaw and fists that were curled up in strong balls.
