Never Looking Back

CHAPTER 17

Chapter 17:

My life was a living hell without Elle. Zayn tried cheering me up, but it was impossible when he was dealing with the same living hell too. I wanted to crawl into a hole and die, that was all I wanted. Zayn woke me up that morning and we got dressed. Zayn told me that the police station had called and it was news. I knew it was going to he bad news, I knew I wasn't prepared for it. We got out of the car and walked into the front lobby.

"Hello Mr. Malik we've been waiting for you." The lady said a bit too cheerful.

She sent us to a floor and we step out of the elevator. Zayn squeezes my hand as we walk in.

"Goodmorning." An officer said shaking my hand.

"Goodmorning." We both said sitting down.

"Okay, the good news...we found Elle." He said smiling. I couldn't believe it...this wasn't happening!

"HE FOUND HER!!!" I said jumping our my chair and hugging and kissing Zayn.

He looked so much more happier, and excited.

"And you can go see her now at the children's hospital, we examined her and she's perfectly fine." He said as we all stood up.

We shook hands and I skipped out of the room with Zayn.

When we got to the hospital I almost died. Elle was crying and screaming and she had some bruises on her body, I started crying. Zayn was crying with me and he pulled me into a hug. After about and an hour we were allowed to see her. She was sleeping on the bed peacefully. I rush over to her side and brush her hair away from her face.

"I'm sorry baby..." I said crying.

"Mamma?" She asked opening her eyes.

"I'm right here boo." I said as I pulled her body into mine.

"Ow, mommy." She giggled.

I look over at Zayn and he still has tears in his eyes. He pulls us all into a warm hug and we stay like that until the doctor comes in.

"Hello guys." He said smiling.

"Hi." I said smiling.

"You guys are her parents right?" He asked looking over her papers.

"Yea. When can we take her home?" Zayn asked standing up.

"You guys came actually take her home now." He said handing Zayn some papers to sign.

That might we had a mini party at home. We even bought a cake and Elle practically ate it all. The boys came over and we all celebrated. Zayn didn't want to go with them, which I thought was really sweet.

Now that we were a family again, we wanted to keep it that way by protecting us. Management was alright with Zayn not being able to attend the tour, and let him stay with us. They even gave us a body guard to stay with us whenever we went out.

It was 11:00 pm and Elle was already sleeping in her room. Zayn was on the bed on his phone, while I got out of the shower. I quickly change into one of his t-shirts and a pair of shorts.

"Zayn why do you look so concentrated?" I giggled.

"I just got a text from my parents." He said frowning.

"And..." I said sitting down next to him.

"And...and they want us to come visit them next month." He said looking over at me still frowning.

"And what's wrong with that? I'm sure they'll be happy to see us." I said smiling.

"It's not that. It's just that Elle's birthday is next month." He said reminding me.

"So, we can have a party there!" I said standing up. He stood up to and looked into my eyes...
