The door was slightly open as Bloom approached, she stopped and took a peek from the open space.

Bloom recognized the girl with him. It was the girl with the shaved hair she saw on his phone that night at the beach, she felt bile in her throat.
They were standing extremely close to each other and he was looking down at her with a playful smile, he never smiled at her like that.

"Nicole, no."
Zayn said, trying to hold her hand.

"Oh come on, you know how much I love you," Nicole said like a child begging for candy.
Bloom felt a tightness in her chest as she watched them.

"I love you too but no."
The tightness in her chest intensified hearing Zayn say that; he was never open about his feelings with her.

Bloom clenched her hand and walked away. Rosa looked worried when she saw her picking up her bag to leave.

"Is everything okay, honey?"
Rosa asked. Bloom nodded, not trusting herself to hold her tears back.

"Please don't tell him I was here."
Bloom said to Rosa with a fake smile.

"Okay."

"Bye, Mika."
Bloom said quickly and headed for the door.

Damian wasn't at the residence when she arrived. She rushed to her room avoiding the looks from the guards.

She locked the door and slid slowly to the floor, she didn't hold her tears back anymore.

I love you too
She felt so hurt, the feeling was worse than when she felt rejected. She moved to the bed and laid down, she hugged her pillow and cried till she dozed off.

Zayn sat at his work table engrossed with what he was doing on his laptop. Nicole laid on his bed singing along to the rap song from her phone.

"Seriously, keep your voice down," he growled.

"How long is it gonna take to fix it?" Nicole asked sitting up on the bed.

"I told you three days, I'm not an expert in hacking Nicole."

"Says the genius," she scoffed.

"So, when are we going to meet her?" Nicole asked smiling ear to ear.

"Maybe never," he said typing noisily on the laptop.

"You don't believe she will ever be free from her Dad's clutches?" Nicole asked.

"That's if she wanna be free, " Zayn said.

He picked up his phone and saw her text, he promised himself to reply when he was done.

When Bloom woke up it was dark outside, it was past eleven. She got down from the bed and checked her phone for any text or missed calls but found none, he was too busy to call anyway.

She moved her hair back and walked to her window, she looked outside for a while before closing the window and locking it. She dragged the drapes and walked back to her bed.

She went to take a shower and left the room to the kitchen. She grabbed a bowl of ice cream, sat at the marble island, and ate the ice cream with a miserable look.

Damian walked to the kitchen and sat in front of her. "Dollface?" He called.

"Yes?" She replied dryly.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm fine."

"You don't look fine and you don't sound fine either."
