My Scarred angel

Chapter 7: money problems and more injuries 😥

"will you help me?" He says reviving me from my shock.

Zayn's p.o.v
This Saturday was my 13 year old sister's birthday, Bella. But I have no idea what I'm going to get her, so I thought of asking the most sensible girl I could ask for help, but thinking about it I realized, I had no female friends aside my mum and Dad's rich friends daughters.

Then a name popped into my head "Alana" I whisper as I close my locker and went in search of her, I had to admit I was still pissed about her embarrassing me, but she was the only one who could help.

"Hey there red" I say finally finding her seated with Anna on one of the benches on the school lawn. "What?" She says turning around to glare at me, as Anna slaps her thigh "be nice" I hear Anna whisper "I need your help" I say as I watch Anna and red share a look of disbelief. "Will you help me?" I add "with what first of all?" she asked "I'll tell you over pizza" I say as I see her face light up a little.

"Fine" she finally agreed as she and Anna said their goodbyes and Anna left leaving only both of us stood there "can we go already?" She says folding her arms and I nod as we walked towards my car and get in.

After a few minutes of silence we get to our destination and I park the car as we walked into my favorite pizza place, Domino's Pizza.

Alana's p.o.v
As we walked into Domino's I couldn't help but look around, it was huge though I guess this was a bigger joint than the one Anna and I go to.

"Here" I hear Zayn say as he takes his seat and I take mine "so I need your help with a gift for my sister's 14year old birthday, I don't know what to get her, the last birthday gift I gave her she hated it" he says chuckling a little
"Well what did you get her?" I ask, curiosity getting the best of me "a mug with the words 'world's best sister'' he says "that's not bad" I shrug "it wouldn't have been if her name wasn't spelt wrong, and that wasn't my fault it was a last minute thing" he said as I roll my eyes "well okay all you have to do is tell me what she likes" I say getting a piece of paper and a pen out of my napsack ready to write

"umm....uhhh" he stutters as I stare at him wide eyed "don't tell me you don't know what your sister likes" I say as he scratches the back of his neck "okay, is she a dress and skirt person or a trouser and shorts person?" I ask "dress and skirt" he replies "good then get her a pretty dress" I say "I don't think I can shop for a dress, a pretty one at that" he says as I hit my head with my palm slightly " but you can help me if you're free after school tomorrow, since it's a Friday" he says with raised eyebrows waiting for my answer, I could feel his blue eyes piercing into my soul and I couldn't bring myself to say no "okay" I finally say giving in, as Zayn goes to get our food and comes back.

"See you tomorrow red" Zayn said dropping me off a few blocks from my house because I didn't want him knowing where I live "yeah, bye" I reply as he drives off and I head home only to see several letters at the door as I walk in and open them, I sat on the couch and read them one by one they were all bills and the money I had saved up wasn't enough to pay it all, I sit there with my head in my palms not knowing what to do, so I check the time on my phone, it was 4:30 so I rushed out to try and get to Ultimate burger before Mr Gregson left.

I open the door and go in immediately seeing Mr Gregson stand at the counter "hello Mr Gregson" I say walking up to him "Mr Gregson, please can I come back to work please I'll manage" I plead " I'm sorry Alana but you're not eighteen yet, and I really want you to focus on your school work" he says " please sir, if I don't work I can't live, the bills have just come in and I have no way of paying, my mum does nothing but drink all day" I say my voice cracking and tears filling my eyes and blurring my vision. "Alana please don't beg like this, you know you're like a daughter to me, please it hurts to see you like this" his says now stood in front of me holding my shoulders and then giving me a hug.

"It's okay dear let's make a deal, you'll work only on weekends but you'll still get your full pay I'll send some money for you to pay off your bills okay" he says releasing me from the hug "thank you so much" I say with a big smile and clean my tears as I wave at Mr Gregson after saying my goodbye and leave.

As I got home I walked in silently trying not to wake mum who was sleeping on the couch, so I tiptoed to my room then locked the door and went in to take a shower.

When I was done I arranged a few things in my room that were out of place, then I went to my wardrobe and got out a pair of black shorts and a yellow tank top, then I put them on as I hear my phone buzz.

Zayn(the asshole): don't forget about tomorrow.
I read as I laughed at what I saved his name as.
Me: okay.
I reply as I put my phone down and stare at myself in the mirror "I have more injuries than before" I say looking at the scars on my arm, that was the main reason I wore long sleeved clothing a lot "I can't even imagine how the ones on my back are" I say as I turn around and say a few prayers of gratitude and go to bed.

What do you guys think of Zayn's gift giving skills?😂
