Through The Dark | Zayn Malik

Chapter 19: The Search

~Emma's POV~

"Where the hell could she be?" Zayn asked. I looked at him and saw worry and anger in his eyes.

"I don't know...." I said. I mean, Selena's father is dead so he wouldn't be with her.

"Emma?" Liam asked and I looked at him,"did her dad ever bring someone else to their house?" he asked.

"Well...yeah. His name was Robert something, but he and her dad were really close and they both use to abuse Selena together," I said and Zayn clenched his fist.

"Do you remember his last name?" Harry asked. I thought about all the time Selena told me about him.

"Umm Robert...Robert...oh Robert Hughes," I said. Zayn took out his laptop and started to search the cruel guy.

"Guys, it says that he's a professor at the State University," Zayn said.

"Okay, I think we should go to the University to see if he's there and then we could follow him home," Liam being the smartest said.

"Guys, shouldn't we call the police. We aren't some FBI people to be doing this," Niall said. I looked up at him since he was hugging me.

"I don't want the police involved. If something really bad happens then we will let them do everything, but right now all I want is Selena back," Zayn said and left the room.

I stared after him. Why does he want Selena back when he had Perrie just a few days ago?

"I'm gonna go talk to him," I said and walked into Selena's room that

Zayn was sitting on her bed, looking through his phone. I went closer and saw him looking through pictures of her. He turned around to look at me and I saw his swollen red eyes. He was crying.

"Zayn are you okay?" I asked him.

"What if we never get her back?" he asked. I closed my eyes at the thought.

I wasn't going to lose my best friend.

"We will find her. Don't say that," I reasoned and he sighed, staring at the wall.

"I didn't mean to cheat on her," he broke the silence,"Management told me that I had to do it or else they'll not let me see my family. I didn't want to do it, I love Selena so much to hurt her, but we can't always get what we want," he said. I nodded, understanding what he meant.

"I know she will understand. Right now we have to find her," I said, him nodding.

Then we all headed towards the University to get my best friend back.

~Selena's POV~

I stared at the wall for the last couple of hours. Robert was at his work and left me alone in the dark cabin. I wasn't really scared of the dark, I mean I've been stuck in the dark ever since mom died.

I was locked to a chair, ropes died around my wrist and ankles. I looked around the cabin and something caught my eye.

My phone.

I stared at it and then tried getting out of the ropes. As smart as he thinks he is he really isn't because the ropes weren't even that tight.

I ran towards my phone and called whoever was on my speed dial.

It was Zayn.

"SELENA?!" Zayn screeched. It was heartbreaking to hear his voice.

"Zayn?" I said painfully slow. Like his name was hard to say.
