Through The Dark | Zayn Malik

Chapter 11: Nightmare Is Real

"Zayn! Zayn! Wake up," I shook his body. He quickly sat up, scaring me to death.

"Sel," he looked at me and pulled me to his lap hugging me tightly. His face was in the crook of my neck and I felt something wet. I pulled his face back to look at him and saw tears covered his face.

"Zayn it's okay, it's just a nightmare," I said softly. He shook his head.

"No it isn't a nightmare. It's reality. If it was a nightmare it wouldn't be true but it is," he said and looked anywhere but me.

"What do you mean?" I didn't leave him, I'm still his friend. I got up from his lap and stared at him.

"You're with Harry. Not me," he said and left into the bathroom. I sighed, my heart felt broken inside that he cried because of me.

I opened the bathroom door to find it open and Zayn shirtless. Damn, he got a nice body. He looked at me then looked down at the ground. I walked up to him and wrapped my arms around his torso from behind, resting my head on his shoulder.

"Zayn I'm sorry. I don't want you to be hurt because of me, I'm not worth it," I stated.

"You're worth it. You may not see it but I can't live without you," he said and his voice cracked. My eyes went shut at the sound,"but you have Harry," he said.

"I'm sorry," I sighed and left him in the bathroom. Why do I always hurt people?

"Sel wait," Zayn said and wrapped his hand around my wrist, pulling me to his chest. He craddled my face in his hand and crashed his lips on mine. Everything around me disappeared and my mind was only focused on Zayn, then Harry came, and I realized what I was doing. I pulled away from Zayn and saw his hurt expression.

"Zayn we can't," I said. He frowned and grabbed his hair.

"Why can't it happen? Why does it have to be him? I was your friend first, I helped you first? Why is it him and not me?" he said and was now full on sobbing.

"I'm sorry," it was the only thing that could come out of my mouth.

"Please leave me alone," he said and I could only nod. Hearing those words from him felt like someone ripped my heart from my chest.

"I'm sorry Sel," Emma said when I walked out of the bathroom.

"You were right. It was only gonna cause problems," I said. I walked out of the flat and out the building. I walked and walked around the town and stopped at the gate of the cemetary of my mother. I headed towards my mom's grave and stopped when I saw someone else there. I was about five feet away from them so they couldn't really notice I was here, I leaned closer but couldn't see the face so I decided just to walk to the stranger. I stood behind the stranger, then he turned around. My eyes grew wide at who it was.

My father.

"Dad?" I said. His eyes were swollen and bloodshot red, I could guess he was either crying or drinking.

"Selena," he said and gave me and wicked smirk,"nice to see you again," he said and walked towards me. I walked back and tripped over a tomstone. He trapped me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"You're a smart girl, but not smart enough," he smirked,"let's go home. You say another word then you're dead," he said and I nodded. Tears kept falling down my face the closer we got home. He opened the door and I stepped inside.

I would never call this place home.

"Welcome home," my father exclaimed. I bit my lip from crying. He walked towards me and grabbed my neck, he squeezed it till I could no longer breathe.

"Dad..please..stop," I choked out each word.

"Stop? Fuck no, you got me in jail, you ran away. You deserve to be punished," he slammed my head against the wall. I screamed in pain.

This was my nightmare.

"Please dad," I cried out. He smiled at me then slapped me across the face. I bit my lip hard. He then grabbed a beer bottle and smashed it on my head and that's all it took for me to black out.

~Emma POV~

The boys walked through the door and I greeted Niall with a kiss. I looked around but saw no sign of Selena. Huh? I thought she went to Harry.

"Where's Selena?" Harry asked, looking around for her.

"I don't know, she left the flat and I thought she was with you," I said. I started to panic, did her...no.

"Someone go call her," Liam said. Zayn took out his phone and called her and I saw Harry glaring at him. I heard her ringtone so I walked toward the sound and saw she left it on the bed.

"She left it at home," I said. My mind was going with wild thoughts about where she could be.

"You don't think-," Niall said but got cut of by Zayn.

"No! Don't say that," he yelled at him. I could really see how much he cared about her, if I had to choose who she should be with it would be Zayn but if she's happy with Harry than I'm happy.

"She has to be there, she never stays this late out," I explained. Where could she be?

"No she's not there," Zayn yelled but I knew he was trying to get himself to believe that. I looked at Harry who was staring at the ground biting his lip.

"I'm going to go to her house and see if she is there," I said and walked out of the room.

"I'm coming with you," Niall said and we both went inside his car. The boys followed us.

I hope she's not there....with him.
