Dark Lust (Zayn Malik Love Story)

Chapter Sixteen

Nevaeh's P.O.V.

"What the hell were you thinking, Vaeh? He's a murderer!" Izzy said while flailing her arms around.

"Will you just chill? If he was going to hurt me, he would have done it by now," I tell her with a stern look.

"Vaeh, He's-"

I cut her off "A looney tune? Yeah, I think you made that clear back at the store," I tell her with a giggle.

"How can you be so calm about this?" She asked me skeptically.

"I wasn't. I was balling my eyes out when I realized it was him." I tell her with a shaky voice.

"I didn't mean to react the way I did, Vaeh. I was just kinda surprised seeing him sitting there in the isle with you. I didn't know what to think." Izzy says while scratching the back of her neck.

"It's fine. I would have reacted the same way, probably." I tell her with a shrug.

"So, what did you guys talk about?"

"Well, he told me that he could love me better than, Louis ever could, and he tried talking me into giving him a chance, and if I still liked Louis better he would leave me alone." I tell her while summing everything up.

"What?! He tried getting you to break up with, Louis for him? That's horrible. You didn't agree did you?" Izzy asked frantically

"Hell no I didn't agree. I've been with Louis for three years. You really think I'm going to drop him for someone I don't even know anything about? That's ridiculous." I breath out, and then my mind starts running on possibilities.

"Vaeh, you're thinking, aren't you?" Izzy asks

"Yeah," I tell her with a sigh.

"About the whole Louis and Zayn thing? Vaeh, stay with someone that doesn't have a criminal record. Louis will be able to go so much further in life, than Zayn ever will. He has a criminal record now, and he's going to have a hard time getting a job and supporting you. Think about that. Louis is a smart kid, he has a lot going for him, and you know that! Hell, he'll probably even own something of his own when he gets older. He's got good grades. Zayn barely went to class when we were still in school. I can just see you being with Louis more than I ever could see you being with Zayn. I mean, at first I could see you being with Zayn, but now that you and Louis have been together for such a long time, I would hate to see you throw that away on.. on.... Trash." She says quietly.

I stomp on the brakes, and pull over to the side of the road.

Why the hell I felt like I needed to stand up for Zayn is totally beyound me, but I am.

"Izzy, what happened to us not judging people? At least until we get to know them," I say with a chuckle.

"Common, Vaeh. How can you not judge him? He killed someone!"

"He didn't kill anyone, Izzy. He told me what happened. I actually believe him too." I tell her quietly.

"How do you know for sure, though?" She asked while looking ahead.

"You know how you look at Liam sometimes, and you can just tell when he's lying, and when he's not lying?" I ask her.

"Yeah,"

"Well, I know I haven't known him for a long time, but I knew he wasn't lying about this. Don't ask me how, but I just felt like he wasn't." I sigh out.

"What are you going to do about Louis than?" she asked skeptically.

I looked over at her like she had grown twelve heads.

"Just because I believe Zayn doesn't mean I'm breaking up with, Louis. I love him."

"Vaeh, maybe you and him should take a break. You seem confused about who you like, maybe it's for the best."

"No! I am not breaking up with Louis. If I do, I'm afraid I will never go back to him. I just can't do that." I whisper out.

"I was just suggesting it, you don't have too. Cash, I'm just really worried."

"There is nothing to be worried about. I will be fine, I'm just a little confused."

"Just, please take deep breaths, and take everything slow." Izzy said with pleading eyes.

"I'm fine, just calm down. It's not like I'm going to kill someone." I te her with a straight face

She quickly looked at me with a horrific look on her face.

"Dont even joke with that. This whole conversation we were having was about dead people." She says with a huge sigh.

"Oh, come on. You have to admit it was kind of funny." I tell her with a giggle.

"It was not." She said while covering her mouth, and giggling along with me.

After about a couple more minutes we were home, and bringing the groceries in, so we could finally get to our movie night.

"What took you guys so long?" Liam asked as we walked out of the kitchen with our junk food.

"Just took a little longer than expected." I say while shrugging.
