Unconditionally in Love

Chapter Twelve

Daniel's Point of View (Beth's Dad)

God the poor guy is absolutely shitting himself for no reason. Shame.

"Zayn, just relax your in no trouble." I said to Zayn

"Okay sir." Zayn replied and his shoulders relaxed slightly.

"Zayn, I just want to talk to you about the incident with Jennifer and Beth." I stated and Zayn sat up straighter.

"Well what I would like to say is that your wife, Beth's mum hit her. Even though it was just a slap is doesn't make a difference." Zayn said angrily through gritted teeth.

"I know what your thinking, Jennifer is not a bad person. She was drunk and-"

"Drunk or not. Doesn't make a difference, she still hit her." Zayn cut me off still sounding angry

"I know son, but she didn't mean it. Trust me she was so upset this morning." I calmly remarked.

"So she should be sir." Zayn said.

"I know son, I know. But I need you to be okay with Jen so Beth will be okay with her. Please." I smiled

"Okay sir." Zayn gave in.

"Please Zayn, call me Dan." I said to Zayn in an assuring tone.

"Okay, Dan." Zayn pressed

"Right, beat it! Go find Beth." I laughed

"Sure thing Dan." Zayn chuckled slightly

Zayn's Point of View

Thank fuck that is over. God i thought I was going to be dead meat.

"Babe, where are you?" I shouted looking for Beth.

"In my room Malik." She giggled

I walked towards her room and opened the door before I could even say anything she had her arms wrapped around my neck pulling into a hug

"What did he say? What is bad? Did he hurt you? Did he call you any-"

"God Beth. Shut up. Nothing happen everything was fine. Calm down babe." I laughed cutting her off.

"Okay just making sure he didn't bite your head off." Beth laughed.

"Nope." I said popping the P.

"Are we ready to go then babe?" I asked Beth

"Yeah, ready when your are!" Beth exclaimed

We ran downstairs and said our goodbyes to Beth's dad and jamp into my car.

"So what was my dad saying?" Beth questioned.

"Oh, em. It was just about the thing that happened with your mum." I answered keeping my eyes glued to the road so I didn't have to make eye contact with her.

"Oh, I see." Beth said in a shameful tone and sunk in her seat slightly.

"He was just saying that she didn't mean it and shit like that, and he was saying that if she was sober she wouldn't have done it, and I was just like yeah... We'll she did." I said a little too fast.

"Yeah. Thanks for sticking up for me, I just don't how to feel towards her. I want to fall back in with her but I would be scared she would do it again everytime we argue. And I certainly don't want her splitting me and you up, that will never ever happen." Beth said firmly.

"It will be fine, let's just enjoy tonight okay babe." I said calming Beth down and putting my hand on her thigh. My touch instantly made her relax even more.
