Mistakes

Oh no.....

Vanessa's POV

"NO!" I yelled. I have known Zayn from kindergarten. He was my best friend. Then when we turned 16, we started dating. At the age of 20 he proposed to me and at 21 we got married. Then a year later we had Emily, our daughter. Everything was pleasant until Zayn completely swapped from his kind, loving self to an abusive one. He drunk and smoked everyday.

Flashback

I was watching TV. It was already 1:00 a.m. so I put Emily to sleep. She hardly gets to see her dad, you know.

Then suddenly I heard the lock click open and I quickly shut the TV off.

"What is this?!" He yelled, as he shoved a magazine into my face.

My hands trembled as I took the magazine from Zayn.

There was a picture of me and my brother. Under it was the caption 'Zayn Malik's wife, Vanessa Malik seen with this man? Could she be having an affair with him?'

"Zayn that is my brother." I stuttered.

He pushed me against the wall and grabed me by the neck, making my breath uneven.

"YOU SLUT!" He yelled. I could smell the perfume which I always smelled when he came home which wasn't mine. But I trust him. He wouldn't do that to me, right? "I know what your brother looks like. This man in the magazine looks nothing like him."

Then I heard tiny footsteps come down stairs. Oh no. Emily woke up.

"Zayn stop yelling. Emily is coming downstairs." I said, softly.

"Mommy, daddy what is going on?" Emily asked.

"Emily go upstairs." Zayn said.

"Go upstairs. I am fine." I said giving her a fake smile, trying to soothe her.

"No I am not going anywhere!" She yelled. "Daddy stop hurting mommy!"

"Don't wanna listen to me, huh?" He said, letting go of me and walking towards Emily.

"EMILY, GO! I yelled. But she just stood there, frightened.

He took the beer bottle that was in his hand and hit it on Emily's head.

"NO!" I screamed, as I saw Emily falling down onto the floor. By now tears were streaming down my face faster than the Niagara Falls.

I ran to her fragile body, not caring that I was stepping on the glass from the beer bottle. She was loosing a lot of blood, after all, she was only 3.

"Look what you have done?! You hurt your daughter!!" I yelled at Zayn.

"SHE DESERVED IT!!" He yelled back.

"Your still not sorry for what you have done?" I asked softly, shocked by what he had said.

"Why should I be sorry?" He said.

"I don't wanna talk to you. I am calling the ambulance." I said.

"You can do whatever you want, but you aren't telling anyone about this! Do you understand." He yelled.

"O-ok"I stuttered.

End of flashback

"Mrs. Malik." The doctor called

I quickly stood up and walked towards her.

"Ms. Emily Malik has lost a lot of blood so she will need a donor. So as you are her mother, there are chances that your blood might match with hers so you have to do a blood test." Said the doctor.

"Okay. I will do anything to save her." I said.

I gave my blood and five minutes later the results came.

"I am sorry Mrs. Malik, but your blood group doesn't match with your daughter's." The doctor said.

"Then why don't you just check in the blood bank or something?" I asked.

"Actually we did, Mrs. Malik. But her blood group is very rare, so it wasn't available. But we could try her father's blood. Can you please call him?" She said.

How could I call him? He is never going to give even a single drop of blood for Emily.

"Excuse me, make it fast. If we did not get the blood ASAP then she may not be able to make it."

"Okay." I said as I took my phone and dialed Zayn's number.

"Hello, Zayn please come to the hospital quickly." I said.

"Baby come back here." A girl's voice said through the phone. Was he cheating on me? No, he wouldn't do that.

"Okay I am coming to the hospital." He said.

"He is coming." I said, to the doctor.

10 minutes later, Zayn arrived.

"What do you wa-?" He started of rudely, but when he saw the doctor he changed it.

"Why are you in the hospital and where is Emily?" He asked faking a worried tone.

"Sir your daughter has somehow got a beer bottle crashed on her head and now she is loosing a lot of blood. So she needs a donor. We have to do your blood test an check if your blood group matches with your daughter's." The doctor said.

"Sure." He said and walked into the laboratory with the doctor.

Five minutes later the results came.

"Good news, Mr. and Mrs. Malik, the blood test is positive. That means Mr. Malik will be able to give blood to Ms. Emily Malik." The doctor said.

"Ok so before I give blood can I just talk to my wife?" He asked.

"Ok but make it fast." She answered.

He pulled me to a corner and said, "If you want me to give my blood to Emily then you've gotta sign these papers." He said handing me some papers.

I took the papers from his hand and read it. This is what I was dreading.

"Zayn these are divorce papers. Why?" I asked as tears streamed down my face.

"Don't make a scene over here. And I want to divorce you because I don't love you and I found someone better." He said, in a harsh tone.

"Someone better than me?" I asked.

"You were never good for me." He said.

"But what about Emily?" I asked.

"You can take her." He said.

"But she needs a father." I said trying to convince him.

"That is your problem. Now make a decision quickly." He said, smirking.

Why does life have to be this bad?
