CHAPTER 4

ZAYN

It has been a week since Pearl didn't come back.Holy crap.Perrie is literally by the door waiting for Pearl to arrive.Sulking.

"Perrie can't you track her phone?"

"We can't! She turned it off."

I sighed. "It was all my fault."

"Zayn what did you do???"

I can't say Pearl likes me.That just breaks Perrie's heart.

"I just got drunk and all."

"Zayn! Next time you need to care about people's feelings even when you are drunk!" Perrie stormed off.

Sigh.

I went over to Perrie.She was calling Pearl non-stop.I snatched her phone away.

"Hey!"

"Perrie,come on.Pearl is an adult.She knows how to handle things.Don't worry."

"How can I not worry?! This is the only home she has!"

"Come on,it can'tbe the only home."

"What do you mean?"

"Who knows? Maybe she has a relative living here."

"Zayn,she is from Malaysia wouldn't most of her relatives be there? Plus,even if she did have some relatives we don't evem know them!"

"Good point."I said.

"I can't seem to handle it anymore." Perrie sighed.

"She will come back." I said.

Perrie kept on looking at the window if she could have any sight of Pearl.

"Hey,stop looking at the window.And most importantly,stop sleeping,eating and sitting by the door all the time."

"Why?"

"Because I want you back in my arms." I smiled.

Perrie finally went back to my arms.Finally,I didn't cuddle for a week!

"She will be back right?" Perrie asked.

"Yes she will." I said kissing her forehead.

I took Perrie to bed to let her rest.She slept peacefully.

I slid my phone out from my pocket to contact Lea.

"Hi Lea."

"Hi Zayn.Wuz up?"

"You don't seem to be seeing Pearl anywhere right?"

"Pearl? Wait Pearl is here with me now--"Lea's voice was cut off,"UHM BYE."

"Wait--"

The conversation ended.She just said Pearl was with her.But where does she live? I know it is an apartment but where?

I called back Lea.

"Hello?"

"Lea,were you lying?"

"Lying? About what?"

"About Pearl being with you!!"

"Oh,we never talked about that!"

I rolled my eyes, "For God's sake just tell me where she is."

"She is not with me!"

"You swear?"

"Yeah!"

"You swear to my life?"

"Uhm.." Lea sighed and continued, "A-1-3,Country Heights."

"Thank you!" I said hanging up.

I took my jacket and left.

Obviously,Pearl left her car here so I drove off using that.I didn't actually know where was this place but after a few directions from googlemap.Ah hah! Found it!

I ran up the stairs to A-1-3 and knocked on the door several times.

"Who is it?"

"MALIK!"

"Z-Zayn???" The door opened,it was just Lea.

"Where is Pearl??"

"S-She is in the bathroom." Lea pointed.

"Thank you!"

I ran to the toilet.It was unlocked.I opened the door,she wasn't there.I realised the window was open..oh God why???

I looked out of the window,sigh.Apparantely,Pearl actually got out through the window.Gosh.

I ran back downstairs to chase her but she was lost from my eyes.

God dammit.

Since she was gone,there was nothing else I couldn't do.I got back to the car and drove home.

"Zayn where were you?!" Perrie screamed.

"Chill,I just wanted to get some fresh air." I lied

She sighed. "Don't leave me like that!"

Perrie took me up to the room.

"Zayn,you were right.We should take a break on this.Pearl is an adult.She can find her way back."

I smiled. "Don't worry,she'll be back soon.Probably tomorrow."

"I hope she comes back now."

I didn't get it though.Was it all because of what she confessed when she was drunk? Nobody leaves just like that.Unless,she had other problems.

Impossible

.-.

It has been over 3 weeks since Pearl was gone.Perrie is trying to stay away from the door.It was uncomfortable for us.

Perrie sighed,"Zayn,pack your bags."

"What? Why?"

"We're going to the beach house."

"B-But."

"Please Zayn.Let's go.It'll let out my stress."

"But what if Pearl returns?"

Perrie ignored the question.I obeyed her and packed my stuff.

"You ready Zayn?"

"Yeah,I just need to grab my phone." I said grabbing my phone.

"Okay,let's go!" Perrie said dragging me
