Uncradled Love *A Z.M. AU*

Chapter one

Sarah's P.O.V.

The park was empty.No children,no couples just some birds returning to their sweet home. I sat alone on a bench with my hoodie cap on my head gazing at the sky. The sky showed beautiful patterns of yellow and orange as the sun was saying 'goodbye'. Slow chirping of birds was humming in my ears. Everything was perfect until my phone rang.

A smile cracked on my lips as I saw the caller id. It was nobody other than my bestie,Waliyha. Waliyha Malik. I pressed the answer icon and held the phone upto my ear.

"S...S...Sarah. I need you." She said in between sobs. My eyes widened. She never cried so badly before.

"I'll be there in a minute. Hold on." I said and hung up.

I looked at my clothes. Jean shorts,sneakers and a purple hoodie. Not so bad. Her home was just two blocks away so I decided to walk. No,not walk,to run. In no time,I was at her door,knocking furiously,unable to hold back my emotions. What happened to her? Why was she crying? Is she okay? My mind was full of questions while I kept knocking.

Suddenly I found my knuckles in vacuum,still knocking. I looked up and was greeted by Waliyha's big brother......with no shirt on. My hand dropped on my side and I looked at my feet.

"I need to see Waliyha." I muttered barely hearing what I said myself.

"She's in her room crying her eyes out." He said in a same tone. His voice raspy and honeyed. I looked up and he gave me the way to get in.

I got in and rushed upstairs to her room. Just a room before her brother's. I didn't bother knocking and stepped in. She wasn't in bed,not before her mirror but sitting in a corner. There was no light on and the one barely entering the room was from her window. I turned the lights on and closed the door. I could tell she was in a miserable condition,her hair messed up and knees brought upto her head,releasing sobs.

I stradled towards her and sat beside her on the floor.

"Hey girl",I tried to cheer her up.

She looked up and that was when I got to know what has happened. She had bruises all over her face and her eyes bloodshot from crying.

"Jake?" I questioned. She released another forceful sob meaning 'yes'.

"Does your brother know?" I asked knowing his brother was extremely protective on her. She shook her head.

"It's gonna be alright girl. Stay strong." I said and hugged her.

Just then the door cracked open revealing her brother now with a shirt on.

"I just needed to know if your friend..." He stopped when he saw Waliyha. She immediately covered her face with her hands and that's when I saw marks on her wrists. Red marks of fingers.

"Bastard Jake." I cursed under my breathe.

He took two steps forward,closed the door and ran to where Waliyha and I were sitting.

"What is this all?" He questioned trying to sound comforting but unable to hide his anger.

"No nothing... Zayn." Waliyha said,probably scared,her hands still covering her face.

He looked at me as if he knew that Waliyha wouldn't tell him 'anything'. I swalloed the lump in my throat which is always formed when he is near.

"Her boyfriend,Jake....beat her up...and..." I stopped.

"And? Come on. Temme Sarah." Zayn whisper-yelled.

I shook my head and whispered a "sorry".

"Zayn...I...I lost my respect." Waliyha whispered removing her hands from her face.

His deep brown eyes widened and his perfectly built jaw dropped.

"WHAT?" He shouted.

A/N I added the picture of Andrew Garfield..He's the Jake Williams Matthews in my fan fiction. Yes,Waliyha's boyfriend...
