Adopted by 1D [Completed]

Part 34 - A Difficult Thing

I can’t believe that I have to do this. When I really want to be alone, thinking about this by myself, I’m forced to make this solved quickly. Who do they think I am? A doll? I can’t be a two face man to Elena. But I have to do this for directioners. My band’s fans.

I open the door of 1D’s house and enter in. It’s like 1.00 a.m. and the atmosphere inside of this house is already silent. I’m wondering if Harry is in Elena’s room. Snuggling on the bed, with just two of them. Enjoying the perfect night, holding hands while they’re falling asleep. Oh, stop it.

I go to the kitchen to get an orange juice from the fridge. I get the glass and pour down the orange juice into my glass. I lightly remember when the first time that I had a conversation with Elena is here. I sigh. That girl is killing my mind inside. I love her too much.

“Zayn?”

Now I heard her voice in my mind so clearly. Is it that bad? I mean… in the middle of the night in the kitchen. I sigh again and turn around.

I get so surprised suddenly. That my glass falls down and breaks on the floor. I freeze for a moment after I see Elena standing on the door way.

“Oh my God, I’m really sorry I got you surprised!” She runs closer, panic, to me and kneels down immediately to clean up the broken glass.

I shake my head lightly and kneel down too to help her. “No, Elena. Let me clean up this thing.”

“If I didn’t appear, this wouldn’t happen-.. Ow!!”

My eyes turn wide as I see her hand is bleeding. “Oh, God!” I carefully grab her bleeding hand and take a look at it as she’s moaning in pain. “Get up! We have to clean up your injury first to avoid infection.”

I help her stand up and walk her to the washbasin. She’s still moaning in pain, I can’t stand her being hurt, looks like she wants to shed a tear.

“This is going to be very sore. I suggest you to hold on my waist with your other hand… and look away.” I said to her with my worried eyes.

She’s looking worried too and quickly holds my waist while I put my left hand around her waist to calm her down. So I take a deep breath first then push the water sink. The water starts wetting Elena’s bleeding hand, she also starts moaning even louder but she tries to get drown on my chest and holds on.

I carefully and quickly clean up her bleeding hand under the pouring water with my right hand. From her moaning sound, I can feel the pain too. She’s squeezing my waist even stronger.

“Chill… It’s going to be fine quicker, Elena. I promise.”

Finally the blood is gone by the water slowly. I can’t stand Elena’s moaning voice anymore. It’s hurting me honestly.

I turn off the water and look at Elena that is still drowning her face on my shoulder.

“It’s done, Elena. It’s fine.”

She’s slowly turning her head and looks at her injured hand with her scared face.

“Now let’s get a bandage for your hand.” I said to her.

She nods and I carry her to the living room. I sit her down on the sofa then I leave her a moment to get a first aid box.

I quickly get back and sit down beside her. I carefully put the bandage after I pour a bit healer fluid on it and put it around her injured hand carefully. I silently look at her face. That innocent sweet face looks very in pain. This is really crazy that the kitchen is where everything happens.

“It’s done.” I said to her as I put the left bandage back to its place.

She looks at her bandaged hand again to make sure, and says, “thank you, Zayn.”

“You’re welcome.” I said reflex.

Now I’m looking at her, she’s still stroking her bandaged hand.

“Why weren’t you sleeping?” I asked her.

She doesn’t look at me. “I didn’t want to sleep.”

I think I know the reason why she said like that. But I’m not sure. “Were you with one of the lads?”

She still doesn’t want to look at me. “Actually we were having a movie. Then they fell asleep during the movie.” She finally looks at me.

I think they wanted to cheer Elena after the incident I yelled at her at the carnival.

“I want to say sorry… about what I did to you last night.” I said unsurely to her. I feel really sorry actually. I really didn’t mean to yell at her.

“It was fine. I thoroughly understood.” She smiles sweetly at me. I can’t help it but smile too to her – forcedly.

“Well, you need some sleep now.” I said to her, softly.

She looks away to her bandaged hand as she heard that words from me. I understand, she’s worried about her nightmares if she sleeps. That’s why she’s trying to not to sleep around the lads.

“Come on.”

I take both of her arms carefully and help her stand up. I take her to her bedroom and actually I can see a worried face on her.

So she rests herself on the bed while I pull up the cover over her.

“I’d stay here for you, don’t worry.” I said those words to her eventually.

Her face turns calm, “but you don’t sleep?”

“Not until you sleep well.”

She smiles at me sweetly. She doesn’t know how I really miss that smile on her face. The smile that I think everyone loves.

“So how are you and Elena?”

Liam suddenly asks while we both are playing soccer on Play Station. Honestly I’m not really good at soccer.

“Don’t worry! We’re fine now.” I said, my eyes are still locked on the screen.

“Bit more…” He mumbles. He’s going to win!

“No! No Liam!”

“Oh. Yeah.. what?!”

“You should’ve not kicked it! Aha!” I cheered suddenly.

Liam and I get more focused on the game, we’re even standing up so everything is controlled easily.

“Oh noo!!” I yelled at the screen.

“YESS!!” He’s going to win! “Yes.” He wins. “I won… again.”

I get all tired and throw myself back to the sofa.

“What happened to you, Zayn? You’ve lost 7 times against me. Usually you lost 4 times.”

I squint my eyes on him weirdly after he said that with his innocent face. “Thank you for noticing my defeat.” I said sarcasm.

“You’re welcome. Seriously what happened to you? Are you having a problem with Elena?”

I get silent, I think about George, Jay, Howard, Joseph and Paul, about what they said and wanted me to do yesterday to Elena. Should I share it to Liam? No. I think that’s not a good idea. Liam would be very disappointed if I told him.

“No. We’re good. Last night we talked even.” I better be careful at saying something.

He trusts me immediately. Good. “Well, now you know that I hate it if you guys can not get along.”

“Yes. I’m sorry. I was getting my temper at that night.”

“Elena did really get scared and didn’t know what to do at that night. I think that was the first time that she got yelled by someone.” He told me.

“I couldn’t even think about anything.” I hold my head while I’m leaning my back against the sofa.

Liam sighs, looking at me. “Just calm down. As long as you’re fine with it.” He said wisely.

It got me thinking for a moment, I’m not sure that I’m going to do this. But I have to.
