Through The Dark | Zayn Malik

Chapter 12: I Love You

~Emma POV~

"Okay now look, if we go in there we don't know what's gonna happen so be quiet," I explained.

Honestly, I was scared out of my mind. She was my best friend for god sakes, I love her so much I would literally die for her. She meant so much to me and her being with her dad hurts so bad.

They all nodded and we walked up to the front door. The plan was for Niall and Liam to ring the doorbell and distract her dad while the rest of us go through the back door and get her. I know it's risky but it's all I got.

Niall and Liam rang the doorbell and we walked behind the house. I looked inside the kitchen window and saw Selena sitting on a wood chair in the living room. Ropes around her to keep her from escaping, bruises all over her arms and face. My hand went to my mouth, why would he do this to his own daughter?

"What?" Zayn said. He walked up to me and looked into the window. His eyes widened at the sight of Selena and he clenched his hands.

We walked to the back door and opened it slowly. I told Harry and Louis to stay back and Harry being Harry got jealous that Zayn got to go.

"Look this isn't the time for your jealousy to come in," I snapped and he walked to were Louis was standing but I could tell he was angry and worried for Selena.

"Come on," Zayn whispered. I nodded and we fully opened the back door, walking in the house. I heard Niall screaming and Liam telling her dad to help him. I wonder what they are doing?

Selena turned around and her eyes widened when she saw me and Zayn. She shook her head and I knew she wanted us to go away but I'm never ever gonna leave her.

"Selly stop," I said and me and Zayn started working on untying the ropes. We got all the ropes out and I heard heavy footsteps coming from the entrance room. I stared wide eyed at Zayn then closed it.

Then I heard it. The sound that scared me to death.

A gunshot.

Then another one.

"SELENA!" I heard Zayn's voice scream. No.

My eyes darted around the room to find two police officers. I quickly looked for Selena and saw the worst thing I ever could have seen in my whole life.

She got shot.

"SELENA!" Everyone was already in the room looking at the scene infront of them in shock."Selena don't close your eyes please," I said when I saw her eyes closing slighty,"Selena please, Selena I need you. You're my little sister, please don't go, SELENA!" I screamed. Tears were coming out of my eyes. Someone pulled me away and tried to calm me down but I couldn't. Not after that.

I saw Selena's father dead on the floor, going to hell where he belongs.

The ambulance came quickly and drove Selena to the hospital. I was right behind them driving so fast I could get a ticket but I didn't care.

~Zayn POV~

I stared at the wall for what felt like years. I was empty. I had nothing, no brain, no thoughts, no heart. It was all gone when I heard the gunshot and saw who it hit.

Selena.

We weren't on time. We decided it was the best thing to call the police and deal with it but we were to late. I was to late.

I punched the wall, with all my anger. The hole on the wall was big but I didn't care. I didn't care about anything anymore, only her.

"Zayn stop," I heard Harry call from behind me. I turned around and glared at him.

"Stop? You want me to stop? Do you even know what the hell happened? No, well let me tell you. Your girlfriend just got shot. My best friend just got shot. Harry you don't understand how much this hurts. I don't want to lose her," I said and slid down the wall and on the floor, crying my eyes out. Harry sat next to me.

"You really like her don't you?" he asked.

"Yes, I do with all my heart. And now she's in there getting surgery," I said and stared at the room which she is in. Fighting for her life.

"Zayn can I tell you something?" Harry said. I nodded.

"When I heard that gunshot my life fell apart. I love Selena so much it hurts. Words can't describe how much I love her. But when I saw you crying, punching the wall, helping her through everything I realized something. It isn't me, it was never me. She loves you not me. She may love us both but I know it's gonna be you all along. I can't be with someone that doesn't love me back," he said. Tears were falling out both of our eyes.

"What are you trying to say?" I asked him. He smiled at me.

"Go get her love. Tell her how much she means to you. She's all yours," he said. I looked into his and saw pain.

"But what about you...?" I questioned.

"I want her to be happy and if she's happy with you I'm happy. I'll find someone but promise me one thing," he said.

"What?" I replied.

"Don't break her heart," he said with a serious tone.

"I'd rather die than do that," I said. I saw the doctor come out of the room. Me and Harry walked were the others were sitting and stood next to the doctor.

"I'm sorry....she didn't make it," he said. I stopped breathing, my whole body stopped working. I knew I was in shock.

"Can we please see her?" Emma said, her voice cracking.

"Umm yes. I am very sorry," he said and walked away.

"Zayn, I think you should go first," Emma said. I nodded and walked into the room.

I saw her beautiful body laying on the hospital bed..dead. I sat next to her, holding her hand. I know it's weird, she's dead but I'm still talking to her but I need to say this.

"Oh my god Selena. You don't know how much I'm hurting now. I feel empty. I want to go die and be with you but I know you wouldn't like that. Selena I just wanted to tell you that you helped me see what love really is. The love not with your family or friends, the love that you get from someone who you want to spend the rest of your life with. That love. So what I'm trying to say is.....

I love you Selena," I said. I closed my eyes and tried to register all the information in my head.

She was dead.

I was in love with her.

I want to spend the rest of my life with her but I can't. I opened my eyes and kissed her forehead, eye lids, cheeks, then finally her lips.

The last kiss.

I rested my head on her chest and let all the tears come out that I've been holding. I couldn't think straight with knowing that she's dead. Gone. I sobbed and sobbed till I couldn't stop. It hurts so much.

I love you Selena.
