Chapter Twenty Five

"You write pretty well. They are really good.Do you even sing?" she ignored my question and kept looking at my diary. I went toward her and snatched my diary from her hands.

"Answer me first." I looked sternly at her. She sighed but didn't speak anything. She slowly sat on bed laying her back against the plush pillows stretching out her legs. I shook my head trying my already failed attempts to understand her actions. I went and lay on the bed. The awkward silence surrounded us as we stared at the ceiling.

"So you didn't tell them. Isn't it?", I asked

"Hmm.." She replied her gaze fixed on the ceiling.

"Do you want me to tell them that you're here?"

"No. " a light sob escaped her lips.

I turned myself to face her, "Is everything alright Em."

"I'm fine. I just, I don't know..I don't want to stay there for tonight." Saying this she cupped her face in her hands. Her light sobs turned into louder ones. I didn't know what to do I wasn't good in comforting people but I couldn't watch her cry.

"Hey come here." I pulled her onto me. She rested her head on my chest as my arms snaked around her. She sobbed against my chest and my hands found their way to her back making small circles to calm her. Her small body moved more closer. The sound of her light sobs that escaped from her lips filled the entire room . We laid in that way for a long time until she calmed down. A peaceful silence was spread around us.

"Zayn?", She said breaking the silence.

"Mm-Hmm"

"I'm scared." Saying this she tightened her grip onto the shirt I was wearing.  I was honestly not surprised by her words. I've always sensed it in her eyes since the day I first saw her. She always seems to be running away from something that she never want to share.

"Don't be. I'm here for you." I said. I wanted to assure her that I'll always keep her safe no matter what comes before us. If she ever feel scared I want to be the one to hug her tight until all her fears vanish. But I cannot say her all the things I wanted to say atleast not right now when our relationship is still on a shaky ground… I felt like she was in my arms but she was somewhere far away from me. I don't know what she's scared of but I want to free her from all her fears. There is something hidden deep in her heart that she don't want to share.

She lifted her head from my chest looking up straight into my eyes. Her eyes full of questions and tension, "Do you trust me Zayn?", she ask.

I didn't take a moment to reply, " Yes I trust you Em."

"Good." and her head gets back to the same position on my chest. After few minutes she again speak but didnot lift her head.

"Do you have a family Zayn?"

"Yeah. Why?", I was surprised by her sudden change of topic.

"Just curious."

"Okay. My family lives in bradford.Mom, Dad and my three lovely sisters." I smiled as I mentioned about my family. All the sweet memories of my time spent with family rushed into my mind filling it with warmth and love. Its been long that I've visited them or even talked to them. I miss them..miss them alot.

"Mmm.. you have a big family." She said.

"What about you? I mean your parents or any sibling?" I felt her body tense when I asked her about her family. For a moment she kept quiet and then spoke.

"I only have my mom. No one else. My dad died when I was 6 years. "

"Oh I'm so sorry Emily.", I immediately regretted asking about her family.

"Its okay Zayn. It hardly matters to me anymore. I don't even remember much about him." she looked up at me and gave a weak smile.

"Okay then tell me about your mom. I want to know if she's as much pretty as you're or even more." Her expressions suddenly changed. Her face turned pale.

"I don't wanna talk about anything right now." The tone of her voice was cold like I've pulled a string of her heart that has never been touched before. Her eyes were blazing,  I couldn't figure out with what maybe anger or fear. A part of me want to ask her about everything right now but another part of me was afraid that I might lose her if I questioned about anything now. I felt like whatever she's hiding could either bring us more close or will throw us apart forever. The latter part scared me. I've started liking her and I don't want to lose her. I'm done with losing everyone I love. I can't let anyone leave me now. I don't want my life to be screwed up again. For a moment…Just for a moment I want to be happy, I want to smile and I want to hold onto Emily.

I was lost in thoughts when I felt Emily's warm breaths tickling my chest.  She was fast asleep with her body molded to mine. Her hand relaxed on my stomach. With her every breath hitting my body my heart raced causing a surge of warmth rush through my bloodstream.

I closed my mouth near her ears and whispered, "I like you Emily. I like you a lot. I promise that I'll always keep you safe and will never let you go." Even if she was asleep and wouldn't have listened to my words I felt at peace. I found myself smiling after I silently promised her. Wrapping my arms around her I willingly welcomed sleep.
