Salvation [Zayn Malik AU]

Chapter 25 - Faking While Breaking

Chapter 25 – Faking while breaking.

I woke up in someone’s arms. I looked over at the bedside clock of my room. It was 11:35am, I sighed out loud. I looked to see who was holding me. It was Zayn. Everything from last night came back to me and I couldn’t breathe properly. I took some deep breaths to calm myself down.

“Are you alright princess?” Zayn’s voice came through my ears and I shrugged. I turned to look him in the eyes. He was raising an eyebrow at me and practically telling me to explain how I felt.

“I don't know honestly, Do you really expect me to wake up all happy today?” I snapped.

“No I don’t, but I do expect you to wake up nicer” He said and I sighed.

“Im sorry okay? I didn't mean to snap at you, it just came out like that” I said looking down, he grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers.

“Hey, I get it okay, I understand if you snap, I know you aren’t in the best mind set right now”

What were Zayn and I? I have no idea, I couldn’t answer that question because I simply do not know the answer.

“So, I know that you aren’t in the mood for anything, but Adam’s funeral is in two days, I needed you to know that” he said and I just looked down. I started crying as soon as I heard his name.

“It’s all my fault he died Zayn, it’s all my fault” I sobbed.

“No it isn’t, you are only telling yourself what you believe. What you didn't know, was that there was someone standing behind you.” He said.

“What?” I asked him through my teary eyes.

“Before Adam and Daniel became rivals, Adam had a girl, Only Adam knew her name, he never told anyone because of some strange reason we don't know. But we knew what she looked like. Why she was there in that house, we have no idea. But I tackled you, He jumped in front of her, to save her. It wasn’t you he saved, he knew I was going to tackle you.” He said, I couldn’t at all say that felt nice. Because he was still dead and nothing could change that. I just nodded in response to Zayn, he placed his arm around my waist.

“Can we just stay here?” I asked.

“What do you mean?”

“I don't want to move, I just want to stay here and not move, Koby will come in here too and we can all just stay here until Friday.” I said and Zayn sighed.

“We can try, but it might not work” He said and I nodded. He leaned in and kissed my forehead. I smiled. I ended up falling back asleep cuddled into Zayn. Zayn was different, we would fight like hell but in the end we always helped each other out, we were always together aswell. He told me he liked me, but weather I liked him or not was still the thought in my head because I didn't know. What I feel for Zayn, is different to what I felt for Jake. It more a relaxing feeling, I don't know how to explain it. But, I think I like it.

Three days later and none of the pain had gone away. It was silent in the house hold, it wasn't fun anymore. People had tried to cheer Koby up, but nothing worked. The funeral was yesterday and well, it was heartbreaking.

It was just Koby and I home. Koby hasn’t cried since the day I found out about Adam’s death. He didn't cry at the funeral, he didn't cry anymore. It was scaring me, he was just emotionless, colour all drained from his face. It just wasn't Koby.

I walked into his room and took a look at him. He was just sitting at the end of his bed.

“It’s alright to cry”

Those being the words I thought would work, did not at all. I walked up and hugged him, but still nothing worked.

“Koby, please talk to me” I said sitting next to him.

“What do you want me to say? What do I even say Ap? My best friend is dead and I couldn’t even stop it.” I stayed quiet.

“Koby, you have always been the strong one, but just because you have that title doesn’t mean  that you can’t break down” I said and he sighed.

“It’s complicated, let’s go for ice cream” He said and I nodded. At least he was getting out of the house.

We walked to the nearby ice cream shop.

“Hey Koby and April, what would you guys like today?”

“Just the usual Mary” I said and she nodded. Koby got his wallet out.

“Don't worry about it, it’s on the house”

“Thankyou” Koby said softly. We sat down and ate the ice cream. We talked about weird stuff, I was just trying to get his mind off things, I knew it wouldn’t work, but it was worth a shot.

Once we finished our ice cream, we started walking home, I was hoping for a peaceful walk, but obviously that wasn't going to happen with my great luck. We walked past a group of guys.

“Nice ass, you want to come back to mine for a fun time love?” One of them said. I kept walking but Koby didn’t. Everybody in this town knew Koby, they also knew how he was when he was angry. But with what Koby was wearing, you couldn’t tell it was him.

“What did you say about my sister?” He said in a deadly tone. He took his hood off and glared at one of the guys. The guy who im assuming made the comment took a gulp.

“Nothing”

“Don’t bullshit me kid, Do you think its really big of you to just hit on random girls walking past and asking them to come back to your house for a bit of fun. Well hot shot, its not.”

“Are you saying you’re different?” He shot back at Koby.

“Yes, im different. I learn the girls name at least, I take in what she looks like and most of the time I stay good friends with these people. So yeah. Im not like you” He snapped back.

“Yeah, so different” The guy scoffed. “Your sister would be a great fuck though” He smirked. Of course, someone trying to challenge Koby, this isn’t the first time. Koby threw a punch, hitting the guy in the nose, I knew Koby was tired so he wouldn’t really let the guy fight back.

“She’s taken by the way, so you can’t have her” Koby said kicking the guy in the stomach.

We walked away and I looked at Koby.

“I love you April, You’re my favourite sister” he smiled.

“Im you’re only sister” I said and his smile got even wider.

“Exactly you Llama” He replied before leaving me confused.

I guess you could say he was trying to be strong, you could see through his eyes that he was breaking, but if he was at least trying, I was going to be there with him, I was going to be there when he broke down, just like he had been there for me all those past years.
