Soldier (Zayn Malik and Ariana Grande) (slowly Editing) Book 1

Chapter 12: Don't Leave

~Zayn's POV~

Today I had to go back to the military. The Russians are attacking again. I told my mum and my sisters. My stuff was already packed and ready.

I was in my uniform.

"You're going?" Natalia asked.

"I have to." I said, turning around. "I'm sorry."

Natalia ran to me and hugged me tightly. "Zayn don't leave!"

I hugged her back, with tears in my eyes. Hurt that I'm leaving my family.

"Natalia-"

"Don't leave." Natalia cried. "Please."

I pulled her out the hug and looked her in the eyes.

"Natalia.." I said, as my voice cracked. I don't know what to say. "I'll be home soon. Before you know it, the war will be over."

"Everyone says that." Natalia said. "and no one ever comes back."

"Natalia how many times have I came back and I'm still alive....shockingly but I'm here. I'll always be here." I said, stroking Natalia's cheek.

Natalia burst out in tears. Her soft hand touching mine. I lifted up her chin and kissed her. She kisses me back . I rested my hands on her hips as her fingers went through my hair.

"I love you." I said, pulling away. "Don't forget that."

"I won't, Zayn." Natalia said, hugging me.

"Zayn...you're ride is here." My mum said.

I smiled. "Thanks."

I walked over to Carlos' crib. His eyes were open, he smiled. I picked him up and kissed his head. "I love you, Carlos."

He smiled. I laughed, pulling him close to me. I grabbed my bag off my other hand and walked down stairs. I out my bag in the trunk and turned around to Natalia.

"We'll miss you." She said.

"I know baby." I said. I hugged my mum and my sisters. I gave Carlos to Natalia.

"I'll send you letters and make videos." Natalia smiled.

"That would be awesome." I laughed.

I gave her my last kiss and hug. I got in the car and watched them wave.

I waved back and looked out the window.
