Chapter 6

A.N - Ok so this isn't edited as you know but yah enjoy and share your thoughts.

*Zayn's POV*

I can feel her shivering in my hands. Does she not realise that she could catch a cold? It would be more gratifying to see her trembling from fear rather than the weather.

"Why don't you watch where you're going huh?" I bend down and say in her ear. I watch her cower in front of me.

"I...I...I'm so sor...sorry" she stutters in front of me. How cute. I take this time to give her a once over. She's actually quite beautiful. She has curves in all the right places but I also notice how she doesn't feel to comfortable showing them.

I think that she suffers from low self esteem. Her body language reeks of it. She keeps her eyes to the ground and she doesn't stand straight. She also keeps fidgeting and I can't help but stare at her in wonder. Does she not realise that she's beautiful?

I wonder what caused her not see the beauty that she possess. It's actually really cute. I'm so used to seeing those blonde women always strutting around and swinging their hips so hard I'm afraid that they're going to pop out. This girl in front of me is the exact opposite of them.

Where they have powered faces full of heavy makeup, she has a cute little face that has very light makeup. They have boobs that are too big for their slender bodies while she barely has any. They're pale and almost sickly looking whereas her caramel skin is absolutely breathtaking. She has a nice wide hips that my hands itch to grip and I can't help but get angry at this little vixen.

Why is she here looking uncomfortable surrounded by horny little high school and college boys who have no idea what they are doing. She needs to be at home, safe and surrounded by family who raise her spirits. She also needs a jacket. I've wasted enough time standing here staring at her. She keeps looking up at me and then diverting her eyes while she waits for me to respond.

"Just watch out next time." I snap at her. She jumps back slightly and watches me with her wide eyes. She pouts slightly and I can't help but find myself getting drawn to her against my will. I push past her and go to the fire and just sit there on a log. I stare into the fire and try to forget about the girl who bumped into me.

My mind starts to wonder and I find myself thinking about my parents. I come from a wealthy family but my childhood had not always been a rosy one. There was a point in life where my parents stopped paying attention to my siblings and I. I couldn't help but feel neglected.

I used to play dress up with little twins, Selma and Selene.  My little sister are younger than me by 6 years. I was 11 at the time and they were only 5. They didn't really understand why mom and dad weren't there to play with them or even tuck them in at night.

That became the nanny Gloria's job. She came in everyday early in the morning and left late at night. She practically raised us and for that we will be eternally grateful. She always had a smile on her face except for when one of us started acting up.

The twins were alike and rarely ever caused trouble but after they started middle school their personalities started differing slightly. They had a fight of some sorts and weren't able to resolve it. They drifted apart and stopped doing things together. Selene started becoming bitchy and full of herself while Selma started causing a lot of trouble by becoming this attention seeking dare devil who was always looking for an adventure.

She once even invited all her dare devil friends and they tried to ride a skateboard down the banister and into a box full of bubble wrap. Selma missed the box and landed on face. One of her friends wasn't so lucky. He fell off the banister and landed awkwardly on the stairs. It didn't end there though. He rolled down the stairs and then finally landed in the box. He lost a tooth that day and left blood everywhere. The box broke open and the bubble wrap scattered all over the floor. It was quite a sight.

Selene came out to see what caused the commotion end when she saw the mess she burst out laughing. Selma started laughing as well and in the end everyone was laughing even that dumb kid who lost his tooth.

Gloria did not find that the slightest bit funny and we were all severely dealt with. From that day onwards the twins were inseparable again but now and again you see those snobbish and dare devil qualities in their actions.

I smiled at myself remembering more trouble that we got in. We once snuck in alcohol at my mom's birthday celebration and boy did my parents flip when they found out.

They had resolved their issues and regret not spending enough time with us. They then became glued to us. It actually felt suffocating for a while but I would never tell them that because I understood their need time make up for lost time. We all got another severe dealing with which still gives me an unpleasant feeling when I think about it.

I get my head out of the clouds and start looking for the little vixen. I spot over near the yacht and she looks like she us on her way to it. All of a sudden she looks at her phone and a look of horror takes over the nervous look on her face.

She drops her phone and starts to back away from it slightly. I can't help but feel a tinge of worry towards her. I wonder what's scaring her so much. I stand up to go over to her but my feet refuse to move. I release I sigh and realise it's for the better. I sit down again on the log and try to keep my mind off her for the rest of the night.

*Leena-May's POV*

I decide that I don't want to sit here at this party and look miserable all night. I text Aaliyah asking her where she is and wait for her response. She replies and says that she's on the yacht and I start making my way towards it. I text her again and ask her if she's with Shawn.

My feet start to ache and I can't help wishing I was at home having a nice warm bubble bath while reading a book. My phone vibrates again and I unlock it and turn to my messages thinking that it's Liyah but it's not. It's a new unknown number. The message terrifies me and I drop my phone.

"I see that you enjoyed the fire. I wonder how much your mom and little brother will enjoy it too. Do they scream when they get hurt or are they the silent type? No matter, I'll find out for myself when I bring some of the fire to them. Say goodbye.

P.S. I'm currently in the place that your mom loves the most. The place that brought her the most happiness. I'm only going to be there for 3 day. Come find me before I relocate again."

My hands start trembling and I feel tears flow down my cheeks although I don't know when I started crying. I dont know how to feel and my damn feet keep hurting. I feel myself falling and this time I know that the scary handsome man won't be there to save me. I welcome the darkness as I slip into it.
