One in a Million

Chapter 28

Zayn's POV

"We were just about to go and pick you up!" Kendra's mom said softly to her as she acknowledged Kendra in a tight hug. We had just arrived at her house and I was still shaken up about everything.

"Oh well, I'm home," Kendra replied. "So, were going to talk so can you.." her overly calm voice drifted off. I truly did not want any of Kendra's parents to worry about her, she was in good hands, right?

Her mom nodded and headed upstairs, "anyone want a drink?" Kendra offered as she gestured us all to sit down on the couch.

"No thanks, lets all just talk," I answered, tapping my foot on the hard ground. Kendra quietly walked over and took a seat as well.

"Who do you think did it?" Niall's Irish accent fluttered through the atmosphere. Who did it? No idea.

"Do you think someone random? Like a fan that was mad Zayn got a girlfriend?" Liam concluded.

"No. It was someone we all know, they had Kendra's number.." I answered, shaking my head.

"How do you know?" Liam asked, neither Kendra or I quite explained what happened the night before, about the anonymous phone call and such.

Kendra started to explain what happened that night and I drifted off into another world. How could someone really want to hurt us enough to kill us? And so many other people were in that hotel also.. And why would they give Kendra a heads up to leave the building?

I zoned out of my thoughts and focused back onto the conversation, "they put a note on your back?" Louis almost choked at the facts.

"Yeah.." Kendra said fragily, I placed my hand on her bare knee.

"Do you know anyone who would want to hurt you?" I blurted out to Kendra.

"No, but listen.. I think Taylor might be behind this," she said softly.

Taylor?! That was a joke! He was the most innocent boy I've ever known. When him and I were good friends, he wouldn't even wrestle me because he was afraid he would hurt me. He wouldn't do anything like that.

"No!" I defended him, "trust me Kendra, he wouldn't do anything like that!"

She looked at me with hurt in her eyes, "I just have this weird feeling around him.. I don't feel safe.." She looked at the ground. I wonder how she would react once she got her surgery and he would be there to comfort her, I hope she wouldn't mind..

"Well it's not him," I sounded positive, because I was.

"Listen boys, I'm going to call and arrange a flight back to London, so we can leave sooner than originally planned," Paul stood up and whipped out his phone.

"What?" My voice quivered. I had to spend as much time with Kendra as I could before I left!

"Zayn, I don't want anything happening to you boys! Or Kendra! But we gotta do what we gotta do and we need to leave this country! You should be thankful that all of our passports and paperwork were in the car! Out of the fire!" He dialed on his phone and then stepped outside.

"I'm sorry.." I looked at Kendra who gave me a saddened look.

"I just want you to be safe Zayn," she gently put her arms around me and nuzzled her face into my neck. I wrapped my arms around her and squeezed her tight, I loved her so much.
