The Demons Inside. [ZM AU]

Ch: 47 II Innocent

[sorry not spell checked or anything, i'm late for school aha]

In the neighbourhood of Bradford where Zayn Malik was brought up, Nikki Walkers was walking around the lamppost lite streets alone, sad, worried and depressed. Her phone was in her hand and she was debating whether or not she should call her boyfriend who may or may not be her soulmate. After drinking more then four shots at a local bar, she was way past her old curfew. However with her parents dead I guess that means she has all the freedom in the world. So here she is, iPhone in her hand- the number 1 of speed dial was just seconds away from being pressed until a small hand was felt on her shoulder. She screamed out in panic and shock as did the stranger. A female scream, or a guy that clearly had an unpubertised voice. 

"I'm sorry I scared you, oh my. I wanted to know if you were okay? You've been walking up and down this road for half an hour now and you've barely missed being hit by two passing cars!" the female stranger has a concerned expression on her pretty features. Her dyed straight blonde hair was tied back into a low pony tail with a purple ribbon tied around it, and she was wearing a black pencil skirt with a smart white shirt. It was clear that she wasn't out from getting wasted. She looked far too mature. The woman didn't look much too older then Nikki, but she did look more intelligent... especially with the lack amount of skin she was showing compared to Nikki. 

"Uh. It's fine, yeah no. I um, I'm just thinking so I need to pace." Nikki stammered, looking down at her phone before sighing.

"Just some friendly advice... Maybe you should pace on the pavement, it's slightly more safer." the stranger smiles sweetly at the half drunk half depressed raven haired short girl.

"I wouldn't mind dying. It would take all the pain away from my heart." Nikki announced confidently, not flinching at her words the way that the stranger did. The stranger seemed to be completely taken aback and more worried then ever. She guided Nikki safely across the road to the brick wall outside the Carter's house and made her sit down so that she could easily talk to her. 

"I don't know why you feel like this right now, but if it's because of a broken heart I can relate to you. I've been heartbroken far too many times, times that I even regret! I look back and think why did I do that, why did I have to be so naive and stupid? But you know what? After eating through masses off ice-cream tubs I realised that he wasn't worth my tears, he's just given me the opportunity to find the perfect guy. The guy that is right for me, I know he's out there and I wouldn't be able to find him if I act like a sloth around the house feeling sorry for myself. I have to doll myself up, grab a girlfriend and go back out there to have fun once again. Being single is so much fun. It's not as bad as people think it is. Really." a stranger who had never met Nikki before in all her life has just given the most amazing advice that Nikki had ever heard. She would be grateful but instead her stomach churns because it couldn't handle all the toxins inside it. And she vomits just a few inches away from landing on the stranger's killer heels.

"I'm Nikki Walkers. School flunker really with no life and

No future. Twenty, almost twenty-one if you're wondering and yes, I was pretty heartbroken. I have a boyfriend you see, and he's become so distant recently and I just can't help but think it's all my fault, like I wasn't good enough for him or anything. We were together from the age of fifteen to like nineteen. Then we got together just a few months ago. He cheated on my previously, with I think three other girls? Yeah. So, it's a rough relationship but he claims that he loves me and it was a mistake as he was drugged up. I believed him because I love him also." Nikki explained her story briefly, excluding all the other heartbreaks she had in between when Harry and her split. Because no one really wants to hear such a sad soppy life story.
