Talking In Circles (Zayn Malik love story) *FINISHED*

Chapter Twelve

I sighed. "Do you want to tell me?"

"Well, I do. But..."

"Niall, you don't have to tell me."

"No, no. I want to."

"Then, go ahead." I said, sitting down on the couch, still holding Alyson in my arms. Zayn came and sat down next to me.

"Well, her name was Ellie. She was beautiful, perfect, and I loved her more than anything else in the world. She was supposed to be having Alyson in two days and we were driving home from the doctors. It was raining, so the road was slippery, and a car crashed into us. Both of us were rushed to the hospital. I just had a slight concussion. They were able to rescue Alyson, but...Ellie didn't make it."

I felt horrible for him and Alyson. It's going to be hard for Alyson to grow up not having a real mom and not knowing who she was. I knew my mom, but I didn't like her. I wish I had a real mom.

"Oh, Niall. I'm so sorry." I looked at him and could tell he was holding back tears. My mom came and took Alyson from me. I got up and hugged Niall tightly. He broke down in my arms and I just held him. He's always been a pretty sensitive guy, but I've never seen him break down like this before. Eventually, he stopped crying and I let go of him.

"Sorry."

I shook my head. "It's okay. I understand."

He nodded and sighed. "I'm gonna go put Alyson to sleep."

I nodded and he took Alyson from our mom, taking her upstairs.

Zayn walked back over to me. "I've never seen him cry like that before."

"Me neither. It's so sad, though. He doesn't deserve that."

Zayn nodded and hugged me. I mentally sighed and hugged him back. This was all so overwhelming. I just got out of the hospital for having an anxiety attack, I just seen my adoptive mother for the first time in months, I found out my adoptive brother has a daughter, the baby's mother is dead, and now, I'm hugging the guy I've had feelings for from the second I met him. It was all so crazy. It made me realize what I was really missing inside that place.

But what was next?
