Missing In Action 35

"I thought you were gone." She cried. 

"I'm here, its okay. Im here." He said. 

I felt myself tear up. Zayn put his arm around me. 

Eleanor tried to stand up from her chair. When she did, everyone noticed how skinny she was. Her thigh gap was abnormally large. Her clothes didn't fit her properly. Me and the girls cried just looking at her. 

Louis just broke down crying. He fell to his knees, hugging her waist. 

"I'm so sorry El.... I'm so sorry." He cried. 

She put her hand over her mouth, crying. The sight was a bitter-sweet moment.

After that, we all went to the living room. 

"So I was thinking..." Anna said started.

"I know you and Liam would want to sleep together tonight so...Im going to Josh's house." Anna said started to walk to the front door.

"Oh no you don't." Danielle said pulling her back by her shirt. 

"Why not?" Anna huffed. 

"Because..." Danielle said. 

"Mum.." She whined. 

"Mum?" Liam asked confused. 

"I'll explain it later." Danielle said. 

"Please. You act like I never slept with him before." Anna said. 

"And you act like I wanted you to sleep with him." Danielle answered. 

"You let us live together for a year. What else do you think went down at that house?" Anna asked. 

We all gasped. 

"Today's youth ladies and gentlemen." Ness chuckled. 

"That is so-". I cut Danielle off 

"Okay. Lets try to settle this. Obviously she can't sleep on the couch..." I said. 

"Yeah it's not really sleep material." Sky said. 

Harry pressed down on the couch a little. 

"It's only perfect for sitting and having se-" Ness elbowed Harry in the gut. 

"I'm mean having movie marathons." He said. 

"Nice try." Anna laughed. 

"Please Mum." Anna begged. 

Danielle thought about it. 

"Yes." She sighed. 

"Yay! Bye mum." She said starting to walk out the front door. 

"Wait. Don't you think you should call him first?" I asked. 

"He already knows. I was gonna go anyway." She said. 

"Then why on earth were you begging us?" Ness asked.

"Just in case if I didn't come back early enough in the morning and I wouldn't get 'The Talk' you guys always give me." Anna said. 

Danielle did a face palm. 

"Bye! Love you's!" She said hurrying out the door and shutting it behind her.

"That girl does that on purpose. I'm going to die from a heart attack one day." Danielle said.

We laughed. 

After that We all went to bed. We were all exhausted.

Faith had fell asleep in Zayn's arms. I came out the bathroom and saw Zayn laying her down in her bed. 

He looked at the wall of of pictures around her bed. 

"She defiantly loves to draw." I smiled. 

He lightly laughed. His gaze went to the picture on the wall of us. 

"I remember taking that picture." He smiled. 

"Me too." I smiled. 

There was a silence. 

"Zayn...what really happened to you?" I asked. 

He turned to me.

"Me and the boys were taken hostage..." He said looking at the ground. 

"What?" I said quietly.

"We were doing a perimeter check...then a group of Koreans took us all hostage...we didn't get back to the military base until a week before the war ended." He said. 

"What did they do to you?" I asked, fearing the answer.

He took off his shirt. His abs and chest had burn scars and other marks I couldn't tell where they were from.

"Oh my god..." I whispered running my hand softly against the scars. 

"I don't want to tell you about the things I been through and saw..." He said. 

I felt my eyes get watery. 

"Hey....don't cry." He said wiping my tears away. 

"I'm here now." He whispered. 

I nodded and smiled. 

He looked down at his dog tag I wore.

"Where did you get this?" He asked holding it in his hand. 

"They gave it to me at your funeral." I said. 

"You still have it?" He asked. 

I nodded. "We all do." I said.

"I never took mines off." I said. 

He looked at me. 

I slowly took it off from around my neck. I put around Zayns. He pulled me closer to him by my hips.

He looked into my eyes. Then, at my lips. Then, my eyes again. He leaned in slowly and kissed my lips. I wrapped my arms his neck, kissing back.
