Uncradled Love *A Z.M. AU*

Chapter six

Sarah's P.O.V.

I woke up to my head pounding and a great great pain in my throat. I looked over the clock and it was 8 in the morning. More than that, I remembered that my school is starting again from tomorrow. It was Monday. Realising that,I broke down in tears again. I sobbed harder and harder and cried my heart out.

After losing a great deal of tears, I heard the door cracked open.

"Do you need..." Zayn's raspy voice beemed through the door but he was cut off by my sobs.

"Sarah, what happened?" He came running to me. I could see the concern on his face and in his voice.

I shook my head.

"I have to go to school tomorrow. And I miss my parents even though they abused me since I was born." I explained everything.

"Look Sarah! Now you should think about the future. You can stay here with us and I can tell you Mom will keep you as a daughter. She even loved you before." He tried to comfort me.

"No that's so nice of you to let me stay here. But I'm leaving today. I'll find myself a job and a place to live. I don't wanna be a burden on you people." I told him firmly.

"But no need to Sarah. You can stay here. I-I mean we want you to." He said.

WHAT? Did he just say he wants me to stay? What he meant? Is he serious? Does he likes me?

I shook my head wanting to shake off all the stupid thoughts.

"No, I'll leave." I said and stood up but my world spun before my eyes but I felt a strong pair of arms catching me and my head rested on a shoulder. That was Zayn, of course.

"Look you can't even walk, Sarah." He whispered in my ear.

"Where you slept?" I asked looking up in his chocolate brown eyes.

"Umm...in guest room. Why?" He asked.

"That's why. I am interrupting your life. I wanna leave." I looked down and tried to free myself from his grip but he was strong.

"No Sarah. You'll stay here till you're good again and then you can do anything you want." He spoke.

Just when he finished, his phone rang and he set me on the bed before answering the call.

"No Perrie. Why don't you get it?" He said into the phone calmly.

I heard shouting high-pitched voice from the other end for about 5 minutes.

"Shut the heck up. Go to hell. I don't care for you anymore." He shouted in reply and hung up.

"Your girlfriend?" I questioned.

"Ummm...ex-girlfriend." He said winking.

"Its all because of me." I muttered.

"No."He muttered and walked over to me.

He lifted my chin with his index finger sending sparks throughout my body and whispered,

"Get up and fresh. I'll prepare the breakfast."

I got up and felt strong and fresh after his touch. I took out a baby pink shorts and a simple white tee with a teddy bear on it and entered the restroom. I freshened up, took a shower and left the room.

I was greeted by a soothing fragrance of pancakes and to top it off, it was blueberry. I practically ran in the kitchen and saw Zayn setting up plates and glasses of orange juice.

"Is it blueberry?" I asked pointing to the pancakes.

"Yes." He answered smiling.

"Oh, I love 'em." I said taking a seat.

"That's nice." He said handing me over my plate and glass.

'Thanks." I thanked him.

"Anything for you, girl." He said.

That obviously clicked me but I concentrated on eating breakfast. I was really hungry. Just as I finished my breakfast, Waliyha came in freshened up.

"Zaynie, I'm going over to Maya's. You stay with Sarah." She ordered Zayn and left the house after waving and winking to me.

"Looks like we're all alone." Zayn said picking up the plates from the counter.

"We are." I smiled.

"How would you like to spend your Sunday?" He asked once he was done with the dishes.

"I don't know. Anything you want." I shrugged.

"What about a walk in the park, a little catching up and meeting my friends at lunch?" He asked.

"Oh wow. Sounds nice." I said all excited.

Zayn's P.O.V.

"Cool then. Its 10:30. We'll leave at 11. So get ready by then if you want to do some girly things like makeup and stuff." I said shrugging.

But honestly, she had natural beauty. She didn't need three inches of makeup. She was beautiful. The most beautiful girl I've ever laid my eyes upon. She wasn't fake like someone I broke up with. Obviously Perrie.

"Whatcha say?" She asked snapping me back to reality. Anyhow, her question was just opposite to my thoughts.

Why would she ask me? Do I mean something to her?

"I--I don't think you need it." I said,stuttering.

"I think the same. Makeup can't hide my ugliness." She said smiling.

"No, I didn't mean that." I said and stopped.

"You're beautiful." I added under my breathe.

"Did you just say something?" She looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

"No...nothing." I stuttered again.

God! Damn!!! I need to gain my confidence back and stop stuttering.
