(Zayn)
The nurse quietly asked me.
"Mr. Malik? Can I help with anything else?"
Kalila.
My heart.
My life.
There she was.
She was in my kitchen, eating cereal and I was calm.
She was safe.
No one was hurting her.
It's the one thing I've ever known to do with her. Watch her, protect her, keep her safe.
But then she dropped the bowl she held and it broke at her feet.
I sat up, concerned if she'd hurt herself, but then heard her speak, in a whisper.
"Like the sky"
NO
No no no no no
I steadied my hands to call her on speaker phone, then saw someone appear in the background from one of the security cameras.
My breath hitched with rage.
It was Harry.
But he didn't go to her.
He stayed in the background.
I heard her phone ring from my call, then she answered.
"H...H-Hello?"
"Kalila? Are you alright?"
"Yeah, yeah...I...I..."
"You're safe, Kalila. You're always safe with me"
"Yeah"
"I love you, Kalila", I spoke, quickly.
"I love you"
Harry stood still and I realized Kalila didn't know he was there.
What is going on
What is he DOING
I kept talking, not taking my eyes off of him, hearing Kalila through the phone.
"Okay, uh, yeah, I'll get it right now and bring it to y-"
"Stay on the phone with me, Kalila"
"Zayn, why?", she scoffed.
"I feel too far away from you. I just miss you, Kalila".
I heard her open a door.
"Which drawer is it in?"
"The bottom one on the right. Just grab it and come straight here. I've got a surprise for you".
I watched Harry stay where he was as Kalila walked out of the house.
Every muscle in my body went soft with relief as I watched her walk out of the house.
Why didn't he go to her?
Why didn't he make himself known?
It didn't matter. I didn't have time for this bullshit. He was just another one. Another one that didn't really and truly care about her. Another one that would give up when shit got real and her beauty wasn't enough anymore.
I laid back in the hospital bed and shook my head with a smile.
That's exactly why he didn't go to her.
He's given up.
