Secrets (Zayn Malik)

chapter 2

Usually, when a person tries hard to do something and to impress someone or make someone proud of him, it would be the parents. But for Louis, everything he did was to make his sister proud of him. He wanted her to know that everything he does is dedicated to her. He wants her to see how special she is.

But that’s the thing she sometimes lacked.

Self-confidence.

At times, she would be so confident of herself and sometimes that confidence would just vanish.

As he was stroking his sleeping sister’s hair, he remembered the times she would come home from school crying. Her eyes would be so red and puffy that it would get him so angry. Every single time that would happen, someone would end up with a broken nose, and it wouldn’t be Louis.

It was so hard for Louis to keep this secret from his sister but he just couldn’t tell her. He knew what her reaction would be. But it isn’t like her birth parents are going to come look for her. They probably don’t even know where she is in England since the foster home they got her from was in London.

“Lou.” Eleanor spoke up. “Take her to her room.”

He sighed as he looked at his girlfriend. “I’m scared…I just…I don’t feel right.”

“Louis, you love her to death. If she happens to find out, she will understand. Now, take her upstairs because she’s probably really uncomfortable in this position.”

A small smile formed on Louis’ face as he nodded and held his sister in his arms, taking her up to her room. As he laid her down on the bed, he kissed her forehead and smiled at the innocent sleeping girl.

(Alyson’s POV):

I groaned as that annoying sound continued, until I noticed that it was my phone. I shot up immediately, worried about who would be calling me at this hour. As I looked at the screen, my eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Perrie?

“Hello?”

“A-Alyson…”

She was crying.

“Perrie? Perrie what’s wrong?”

“Z-Zayn…”

I felt like my breath was knocked out of me as a million thoughts raced through my mind. “What’s wrong with Zayn?? Perrie you’re scaring the hell out of me.”

“N-no…no it’s not like that.”

I closed my eyes as I sighed in relief. “Do you know what time it is, Pez?”

“Oh…Oh I’m so sorry! I forgot about the time difference. I just needed someone to talk to.”

“Pez, what’s going on?”

“Zayn and I…we got in a fight.”

My eyes widened at the shocking news. They barely fight and when they do, it’s bad. “Why?”

“I don’t know…I just…we haven’t been talking a lot and we just keep fighting and fighting. It’s getting so difficult.”

“Perrie, calm down. I’m sure it’s just because you two miss each other a lot. You will work this out. I can talk to him if you’d like.”

I heard her sigh. “I’m not even sure if I want to work this out.”

“W-What? Perrie you’re just saying that because you’re mad. You’re engaged, you guys love each other.” I said, trying to reason with her. “Don’t give up on a love like yours.”
