ZERO [ L.T. Fanfiction ]

Chapter 2

Although I want to scream at the top of my lungs but I don't like to create a scene in a public place. Probably, there are more people, they might think I am weird.

I want to run. Zayn has left me 5 minutes ago but it feels like ages. Somehow I get up from my chair. I make my way to the door. I get out of the bloody place. I just don't care where Zayn is. I am really upset. He knows I am afraid of darkness and still he left me. I spot our car. But I chose to take a cab.

Like always our date is spoiled. Wow. My fate. The cab reaches to our home.

Shit. I don't have the keys. My fate sucks. That means I have to wait here, in this chilling street for that idiot to come. I feel like crying.

I enter the building. I go up through the elevator and sit on the stairs waiting for Z. He might be searching for me everywhere.

It's so chilling, out here. I just put my head down on my arms which are on my knees. I slowly start sobbing and fall asleep.

Zayn's POV.

"This is your fault. How can the lights go off?" I've just lost my shit. Kaira must be okay, is she?

"Sir, it's not our fault if there are any electrical problems. It happens sometimes." the manager has got the nerves to defend his stupidity.

"Sometimes?" I laugh sarcastically "really? Isn't that your job, to look if everything is fine with your place? Isn't that your job, to see if there is problem and mend it at least. I should've known, your place sucks."

The manager is a lean man with black eyes and black hair, wearing a shitty black suit. I want to smack his ass down but I care for Kaira. I've to check whether she's okay.

As I turn around I cuss them, because they deserve it. I quickly walk towards the place where Kaira is sitting. It's pitch dark. The candles have gone off. Shit.

I enter the room; the lights turn on. Thank god. No. Wait. Where is she? She's not here. Kaira's not here. I run from there. Maybe she's in the car or in the washroom. No, she'll not go to washroom in darkness. I am such a dumb person.

I check my car through window. She's not there. Urghh. I have the keys; how can she even enter the car. Is she there at home? Yes, maybe she left. She would be very upset. Wait. I've the apartment's key too. I better hurry up. I sit in my car and drive fast towards home. I reach and look here and there and she's nowhere.

I go upstairs. And God, there she is. Sitting on the stairs, head on her arms which are on her knees. She is sobbing a little. I am such a jerk. I always end up doing wrong things, fucking up and making her upset. Should I wake her up? No. She would be in a bad mood. I'll just pick her up and make her sleep in the bed.

I carefully pick her up. Her hair is a mess because of me, her makeup is smudged because of me. I come across the living room and her eyes flatter open.

"Zayn, put me down." she says with her soft voice.

"No. It's okay. I'll carry you." I say hoping she agrees.

"No. It's not okay. I can walk by myself. Just put me down." she's really upset and it's not good to mess with her when she's upset.

I put her down, she straightens her dress and walks into the room without even glancing at me.

I hear the wardrobe door open and close. Maybe, she's changing. Will she come out? I wait for her on the couch.

Kaira's POV

I walk into the room. I am really upset with Zayn. I know it's not his fault but he shouldn't have left me alone when he knows I fear darkness. I decide to sleep here, in this room itself. I don't wanna face him and end up fighting.

Ugh. The annoying noise of the alarm wakes me up. I sit up straight. Facing the window. It's sunny morning even though it's only 6 am. I press my hand at the other side of the bed to find Zayn and wish him morning. But he's not there. This is not even our bedroom.

I remember the incident now.
The date.
Lights going off.
Forgotten keys.
Zayn.

Zayn.

Where is he? I quickly get up from my bed and walk inside our bedroom. No one's there. The bed is neatly tucked, exactly in the way I did it last morning. Did he sleep last night? No. He's not here. Where is he?
