The next morning Zayn and Anna were awaken to the sound of two people laughing. "Well good morning lovebirds!" Liam smiled as he finished making french toast. Niall shifted a little bit where he was standing. Zayn swore he could have seen jealously behind Niall's eyes. Anna on the other hand was completely oblivious to it all. Zayn stood up and stretched his whole body. Anna noticed he was shirtless. She didn't know why it bothered her because she has seen him without his shirt plenty of times. Why is she now all of a sudden getting bothered by it?
Anna stood up and stretched as well, showing her bird tattoo on her hip. She smiled a little and walked into the kitchen were Liam and Niall was. Anna grabbed a piece of french toast that was already on a plate. "So Niall..." she started. "I heard you walking around last night, what were you doing up at that hour?" she asked curiously as she took a bite of the toast. Niall looked at her a little confused. "Wha-?" before he could finish what he was asking, Louis and Harry strolled out of the bathroom both completely wet and wrapped in towels. Everybody stopped what they were doing and looked at the two lads. "We were conserving water..." Louis stated before walking away dramatically.
Everybody couldn't help but laugh. Harry followed Louis closely behind as they both went back into their bedroom to get dressed for the day. "Liam, where did you even get the stuff to make this?" Anna asked. "When we stopped at the tiny shop" Zayn replied for him. Anna nodded her head as she finished her toast. She looked outside the cabin window and saw that it was raining. She groaned knowing they were going to be stuck inside all day.
"I've been thinking about going out and collecting some wood and stuff for later tonight" Liam started. "Anybody wanna come with?" he asked. Harry's head popped out of his and Lou's bedroom. "I do!" he said full of excitement. "I'll come with" Louis said shortly after. Liam nodded and motioned for the boys to follow. Harry, Liam, and Louis all soon left the cabin for collectable; leaving Zayn, Anna, and Niall behind.
"I think I'm gonna take a quickie" Niall said as he ran into the bathroom. Anna couldn't help but smile a little. He was so adorable. Normally Anna would get herself dressed for the day, but since they were on vacation and it was raining hard outside, she thought the hell with it. She grabbed a ponytail off of her wrist and pulled her hair into a messy bun. When she finished she caught Zayn watching her. "What...?" she said a little nervously, thinking there was something on her. "N-Nothing.." he said before turning around and grabbing a piece of french toast.
She thought that was a little weird, but she didn't mind. Anna smiled a bit before walking over to her bag and grabbing a book. "Twisted" by Laura Griffin. She sat down on the couch and pulled the blanket over her as she continued from her last saved spot.
Zayn sat in an arm chair across the room and watch Anna. He didn't know what has overcome him, but lately he has just been wanting to grab Anna right then and there and snog her. He kept himself restrained because he didn't want to make things any more awkward than they should.
Thankfully Niall came out of the restroom, wrapped with a towel around his waist. Anna looked up and couldn't help but stare as Niall shook his head. He went for another piece of french toast before heading back to his room to get dressed. Zayn caught Anna's stare and then it clicked in his head. He could tell Anna had feelings for Niall, and by the way Niall acted earlier that morning, signaled he may have something for her as well. Zayn didn't know rather or not if he should tell each other, or let them find out for themselves.
*****
Hours had passed and the three boys have yet to arrive back with the supplies. Every now and then, Anna would put her book down to get up to use the bathroom, get a drink, or to simply look out the window for the boys. But every time she went back to her spot back on the couch, her book would have been moved. At first she thought she was just being forgetful, but after several times it got a little annoying. This time though, her book was no where in sight. She automatically accussed one of the guys for taking it. "Don't look at me! I don't even like reading" Niall stated and continued his bag of chips. Zayn just look at her a little confused. "What would I even want with your book?" He shouted at her a little annoyed that she would even accuse him of such a thing.
Anna threw her hands up in confusion. "I don't know! Can you at least help me find it?!" She said a little stressed out. Zayn rolled his eyes, "Okay fine where did you last have it?" Anna looked around the room a little unsure. "I don't remember" she frowned. Zayn growled under his breathe. He stood up and scratched the back of his head. "Okay you look on that side of the house" he said pointing to the back of the cabin, "I'll search this side." Anna nodded and walked into the back rooms of the cabin. She first checked the bathroom. Nothing. She walked back into the hallway and saw the book on Liam and Niall's bed in the room.
Anna got a little confused and walked into the dark room. She walked into the dark room and grabbed her book off the bed. As soon as she did, she felt a hot breathe on the back of her neck. It made her stop as the hair on the back of her neck stand up. Anna quickly turned around to see who was standing behind her. Based on the shape of the dark outline she could automatically tell it was Zayn. "Oh God, you scared me." She said as she jumped back a little. The figure didn't say anything and just slowly walked up to her and put their hands on her waist. At first Anna was a little confused. "What are yo-" she got interrupted as he started kissing on her neck. "Z-Zayn..." she muttered out. Anna had no idea what he was doing, but she was liking it..until he started to get rough.
He forcefully threw her onto the bed and started taking her shirt off. Anna grew scared and started screaming. "No, stop! Get off of me!" she yelled. Anna could hear footsteps running into the room. As soon as the lights came up the figure was gone. Anna laid on the bed with her shirt just above her now exposed bra. "Anna!" Niall yelled after her. Anna turned her head to find Niall standing in the doorway and Zayn standing behind him. Once Anna saw Zayn, she realized the figure wasn't him. That's when she started crying, and Niall came running over to her. He sat her up, pulling her shirt down over her. "What happened?" He looked at her a little confused and helpless. Anna could barely make out any of the words she was saying. "H-he forced m-me and..g-gone." Zayn's eyes grew large as he walked into the room and took a look around the small room for any signs of a person being here. The window was closed, the closet was empty, and underneath the bed was cleared. Niall just pulled Anna close to him and held her tightly, whispering in her ear. "Sh, everything is fine now. You're safe." Niall looked at Zayn over Anna's shoulder. Zayn shook his head with a shrug while looking at the upset girl. Niall tried to calm Anna down, but by the look on his face you could tell he was scared for her.
