Cats (Zayn Malik)

Chapter 21: The Dark Days

A/N: KIDS, PACK YOUR BAGS. WE'RE GOING ON A FEELS TRIP.

------------------------------------------------

*Danni's P.O.V.*

"Dad, mom! Why'd you never tell me?! Did you not pay attention to me when I was I li'l kid?! Did you not know that I absolutely love cats?!"

"Deary, it was supposed to be a surprise." my mom said, her voice a high weezing noise.

"A surprise?" I asked, "For what?"

"For your return, my dear!" dad laughed, stretching his arms to hug me.

I backed away, "Dad, I left for a reason. Why would you even expect me to come home after all those years?"

Mom looked hurt, and dad was everything but happy. Obviously they'd already forgotten the times I spent alone in my room with no one but Ed, my teddy bear, while they worked out of town. Besides Ed, I only had Christopher, our butler. Ah, those days. The dark days.

"Honey..."

"My dear, we're—"

"You're what? Sorry?" I laughed bitterly, "Don't be silly. For the love of all that is heavenly, mom! Dad! You left me alone! You worked 24/7 and didn't even pay the least bit of attention to me! And don't freaking tell me you took care of me when I was a baby. I know that the only thing you, mom, did for me was breastfeed. And dad! All you did was work, work, work! Neither of you even thought me how to walk, much less stand on my feet! Christopher taught me how to walk, how to stand, how to talk! He was the one who appreciated the high grades I got and the small good deeds I did within the household. While you two... you didn't even show up during card viewings! And much worse, when I showed you my report card, what did you say?"

"Honey, I—" they tried to apologize, but the burning sensation of anger and pain tugged at my heart, and tears spilled from my eyes as I continued reminiscing my horrible past.

"That's right. 'Not now, Danni. Show me later.' But guess what? That 'later' never even came! Christopher was the one there. Not you. He was the one who told me I was beautiful, smart, talented, and unique. He cooked for me, sang to me, brought me to places, made me feel good about myself. He was there when I needed someone. And the two of you..." I took in a heavy breath, tears flowing continously down my face, "You were never there."

"Danni, we were working to provide you your needs." my dad tried to reason.

"But that's the thing! That's not what I needed! I needed you! I needed the parental love that you were supposed to give to me! I needed you to guide me, teach me how to decide correctly! But no! You weren't there and you didn't give me that love! You didn't guide me! And you didn't teach me anything! You were never freaking there!" I screamed, completely losing it and breaking down, the tears leaving a small puddle on the floor.

They just stood there, my mom about to break down in tears and my dad with the blankest of all expressions.

I sighed, closing my eyes to stop the tears. I stayed quiet for a few minutes, with shaky breaths and silent tears, "Look, just leave me alone for a minute. I need some time alone." and I turned around, walking out.

A/N: THE FEEEELS  (—=_=)—

Took me forever to put that emoticon up. Was deciding whether I should put (/~.~)/ or (/°_°)/ or (—=_=)—

Okay, randomness overload.

Anywho, don't complain about me not updating for awhile. I'm a busy geek. >:3 (Was gaming nonstop. Barely even had sleep this past month LOL)

Oh well, that's it for the day. :))
