Never Looking Back

Chapter 24: WHY?!

Chapter 24:

I couldn't believe my eyes. There on the news was a picture of Zayn kissing Perrie, there was also a picture of them holding hands. I jump off the couch not caring if I woke up Elle. I ran crying to the bathroom and fell on the floor. I felt my phone vibrate twice. I quickly pull it out and there's a text from Harry and one from Zayn. Ignoring the Zayn text I open Harry's first. Harry: 'Whatever you do, don't turn on the tv! What there's saying is wrong it was a mistake!' Then I read Zayn's; 'What the Internet and tv are saying isn't true babe! Please don't believe them, you know I love you.' I throw my phone across the bathroom. Why would he cheat on me again? With the same person?! All I heard was Elle screaming outside the bathroom door, I felt like a horrible mother. I was ignoring my own child.

I guess I fell asleep because when I woke up, it was peaceful and quiet. I slowly retrieve my phone from across the bathroom. I had 40 texts, 35 missed calls, and what seemed like millions of twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Tumblr comments about earlier. Standing up, I open the door and walk over to her bedroom. It was already 10pm. I see Zayn tucking in Elle while singing to her. I could see tears in his eyes, I quietly wait outside the room. After she fell asleep, Zayn came out and when he saw me he fell on the floor and burst into tears. "Stand up Zayn." I said sternly. "I'm-I'm so sorry." He said pulling me into a hug. I quickly pull away. "Why would you do this to me?" I asked feeling the tears build up. "I didn't do it on purpose!" He said louder. "I'm sorry Zayn, but this can't happen." I said walking out room and pulling out my suitcase. "What are you doing?! You can't just leave?!" He shouted. "YES I CAN! IT WAS MY CHOICE TO EVEN GET BACK TOGETHER WITH YOU, AND IT WAS ONLY FOR ELLE! I FALL BACK IN LOVE WITH YOU AND YOU GO OUT AND CHEAT ON ME AGAIN?!" I screamed throwing random clothes into the suitcase and zippering it up.

"BABE IT WASN'T ON PURPOSE!" He shouted as I walk into Elle's room, unfortunately she was already awake from all the screaming. "THEN WHAT HAPPENED?" I screamed throwing some of Elle's clothes into another suitcase I found. "She kissed me McKenna! I didn't do it on purpose." He answered calmly. "Then why were you guys hold hands and crap?!" I said impatiently. "She took my hand and made it look like we were back together." He said coming closer to me. "I'm sorry Zayn I can't do this anymore!" I said grabbing Elle and taking our things out the door. "Mommy where are we g-going?" She sobbed into my shoulder as I climbed I to a taxi. "I don't know baby. Shh." I whispered into her ear so she would stop shaking and would calm down. "What about daddy?" She asked. "Daddy's not coming. He has to be on time-out until he figures out what and who he wants in his life." I answered back feeling the streaming down my cheeks. All I could ask myself was; why?
