Chapter 28

My head pounded in pain when it collided with something hard, making me conscious. My hand held my head as my eyes flutter opened. I was in the backseat of a car, not at all familiar. My head was resting against the window, the car was moving. The car was in an area that I never saw, even the road was empty.

I looked ahead, the driver was concentrated on the road, my hands were free, so were my feet. I took this as an opportunity. I smacked my elbow against his neck. He groaned in pain. His face was covered with a black mask and was wearing a hoodie. The car stopped, this was my chance. I unlocked the door and ran rapidly.

There were apartments close to each other. I went to one of the alleys in between them and hid there. My eyes searched for people, but there were none. I didn't had my phone, there were no people, no chances of communicating with anyone. The only choice I had now was to enter one of these apartments and ask for help.

"Ahh!" I screamed as I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Don't worry dear.. you look scared. Do you need help?" There stood a woman, in her 40's, giving me a consoling smile. I left my breath. I hesitantly nodded. She smiled brightly.

"I live in this apartment, you can come with me." She said with a pleasing smile, pointing towards the apartment at my left. I thought for a moment.

"You don't look really good, you definitely need some help there." She said aiming towards my head. I touched it and winced in pain. My hand had dried blood on it.

"That's really sweet of you, but I don't want to be a burden." I replied. She shook her head.

"Come with me." She held my wrist and dragged me to her apartment. She was really kind.

Her room was medium-sized, clean and really comfortable. She made me sit on her bed and came towards me with a first aid kit. I hissed in pain many times, but that medicine was effective. It wasn't paining as it was before.

"Thank you so much...." I trailed off as I didn't knew her name.

"Carla.." she answered.

"Carla. I'm Aisha." I said and she smiled.

"Aisha, I'll bring some tea for you.." she got up, but I held her wrist and stopped her.

"No thanks. I should get going." I replied, even though I didn't know where I was.

"Let me please." She said in a pleading tone. I smiled and let her go.

After a couple of minutes, she came with 2 cups of tea and handed me one. I smiled and took a sip. She sat beside me.

"So tell me dear, what happened?" She asked. I explained her about the threat calls, how Zayn found out about them, and everything happened today. But I didn't take specific names, I mention them just as my boyfriend and his friends. Even though she helped me, I couldn't completely trust her.

Suddenly, my head started pounding. I hissed in pain. My eyes started watering because of the pain. Carla wasn't helping me this time.

Unexpectedly, the man in hoodie stood before me. Carla went to him with a smirk, he handled her a bundle of notes. My eyes widened in realisation, she had tricked me. I tried standing up, but my vision started blacking out. I fell on the ground with a loud thud, unconscious again.

Zayn's POV

"ASH ARE YOU OKAY? ASH!!" I yelled, but the call ended.
