My Knight In Shining Armor

Distress Put To Rest

Chapter: 35

Elizabeth's POV

I looked outside my glass panned window, getting home was the best feeling, my parents concern made me feel wanted, but when they questioned why i came home my so early, I simply said problems, they knew not to push the matter any further, unless they wanted me to start throwing a fit.

'The sun setting.' I thought as I stared straight toward the pink sky now. I felt my phone vibrate and looked down, not bothering to check the name.

'We need to talk.' The text read, identified as Zayn with a cute heart at the end.

'Mental note, delete The heart.'

I knew through text messaging this would never resolve itself in a proper way. Talking on the phone would be the best in our situation now. As much as it hurt me too, I knew I had to set things straight.

I went to his contact and a shaky finger pressed the call button, feeling like the ringtone took forever to end. Once it paused Zayn's voice filled my ears.

"Elizabeth?" Zayn's urgent voice spoke. Suddenly my breath hitched in my chest, heart throbbing, I felt a lump form in my throat, forbidding me speak.

"Elizabeth." Zayn repeated. I cleared my throat, it was now or never.

"Zayn..." My voice rasped, lips dry. My bottom lip started to quiver ever so slightly.

"Elizabeth, why did you leave? You didn't even give a warning or anything." He asked concerned now. A tear slipped when he mentioned this, he knew perfectly why, and he put this act on instead. My mouth opened but no sound came out, I had to force my voice to go barely above a whisper.

"Zayn, I can't do this." The pain in my voice was obvious, I took in a sharp intake of breath as I wiped away the tears that began to fall.

"What can't you do? Elizabeth whats wrong?" He asked worriedly hearing his voice had pain also.

" 'Us' Zayn." I emphasize to him breathing out shakily. "You know exactly whats wrong Zayn."

"What do you mean?" I could hear the small hint of accusation in his voice.

"I can't do this with you anymore." I said softly slowly trying to control my shaking breath, hearing a sigh from his end.

"We can't talk this out?" He pleaded.

"No." I stated sternly, hearing him intake breath.

"Can I at least know what happened? You owe me that much."

Anger engulfed me when he mentioned I owed him something. After I saw him cheating, I knew it was just pure bullshit for him to want something from me.

"I owe you NOTHING." I yelled, my voice cracking with the cold salty tears running down my face, cries escaping. I took a sharp breath "But I'll give you a hint, does the name Perrie Edwards sound familiar?" I said, venom coming just mentioning her name but, just the name tore my heart apart, a final cry escaped after the outburst, resuming back to soft cries.

I could already imagine him stiffen at the name. I heard silence on the other line and took that as a yes. As I went to end the call I heard Zayn speak.

"Nothing happened between us, but if thats how you feel, I'll wait for you, I promise you that."

"That's not what I saw," i stated and felt relief, but sadness soon caught up with this and darkened my mood. "Goodbye Mr. Malik, it was nice to know you." I said softly and pushed to end the call knowing very well, when I ended the call, I ended my relationship with Zayn, realizing this made me cry even more. I looked into the mirror for an answer of relief in myself but only saw a barely recognizable, distressed face with stained mascara and a broken heart, much to far from being fixed.
