Zayn POVI unfolded my hands on my chest and breathe out softly.Flora's mum just finished narrating everything in details and believe me, my heart became softened a bit towards William.He looked to my side and smile like he heard my thoughts.“I'm sorry about everything” I apologized sincerely, staring at the center table in the sitting room.“It's fine Zayn” William says, standing on his feet.“I'm sorry as well” He added as he stands close to me.I stood on my feet and we both shook hands.“Well… You really have to be sorry because it's not like you've any other choice” Reid said.“Except if you're letting Flora go” He added, flatly.“Don't even go there man” I cautioned.I took my eyes to where Flora is sitting.“Flora and I stuck together, so we're never letting each go”Flora cheeks flames and I w
Flora POV“You really won't tell me what it is?” Zayn says.I covered him with the duvet properly and sit close to him on the bed.He just had his medicines and I changed his bandage. The Doctor had instructed we should always change it both in the morning and night and under no circumstances must he misses his medicines, so he would recover speedily.He stares at my eyes intensely, I blinked my eyes and look elsewhere.Reid had told me not to say anything to him about Violet's death yet and seriously, I don't know how to tell him things because I feel like Violet saved Zayn's life.“The doctor said you need excess rest, Zayn” I reminded, and he just scoffed softly.“Where's Violet?” He asked again.I sighed softly and smile down at him.“Reid will answer that” I told him and stood up from the bed.“Goodnight Zayn” I leaned down and pecked his cheek.He crumpl
Reid POVI pulled up in the hospital garage and stepped out of the car. I walk towards the hospital entrance but to my surprise, I saw William walking out of the hospital with a guy I recognize following behind him.He also stopped walking immediately he saw me.What's he doing here? I thought as we both stare at each other.Some seconds passed,He looks away from my figure and walk away with the guy following behind him.What was he doing here?I watch him until he hopped into his car and drove out of the garage.I shrugged and finally find my way into the hospital.****I walk into Zayn's ward and my lips curved to a little smile. Flora and her Mum are sitting very close to Zayn's bed.I must say Flora looks so happy as she stared directly at Zayn's face, I'm glad, though.I cleared my throat to announce my presence and they both look up with a bright smile on their faces.“Morning aunt”
Flora POVI paved the reception frantically with numerous thoughts running through my head.The doctor has been with Zayn for the past one hour, and he's yet to tell us something about his state.“Your worried state won't help Flora” Mum say as she walks after me.Dad and David already left for some urgent work.“Then what should I do?” I turned to her and asked, tears are forming in my eyes.“Let's just hope for a better result, I believe they'll be fine” Mum assures, tapping my back tenderly.I look at her and forced a short nod.“You need to go home and have your dress change” Mum said after a brief silence.I just shook my head sideways- I'm not leaving Zayn. “Your dress is stained Flora” She said again. Dad also said the same thing before he left, but I do not care.I placed my head on mum's shoulder,still waiting for the Doctor- I c
Flora POV“You still have some queries to answer Stella” Dad says from the back seat.“But I would like us to return from this trip first” He added, and I glance at them from the front mirror.Mum's face has turned sober already.Uh mmWe're going to resolve everything later but now, I'm feeling ecstatically happy.I really can't wait to see my good bad guy again. I chuckled softly.'Good bad guy'But I don't understand why I'm feeling a bit anxious, perhaps it's because it's been months I saw him.“You really like him, don't you?” I heard Dad's voice. I smile and turned to him from my seat beside the driver- David's is the one driving, though.I knew he's referring to Zayn.“Yes Dad” I answered truthfully.He smiled wryly.“But why don't you like him?” I questioned curiously. He laughs and leans his back on the seat.I sighed an
Violet POVI settled in my car and brought my phone out of my clutch.I dialed Zayn's number,it rings for some minutes, but he's not picking up. “Damn!”I redialed it and he's still not picking.What do I do?Yes!Reid.I quickly checked through my contacts and found his ID.GreatHe should know where Zayn is.I dialed his number and thank goodness he picks at the second ring.“Hi Reid”“Hello who's this?” He asked and I almost roll my eyes.He doesn't have my contact.“This is Violet” I told him.“Where's Zayn now?” I asked him impatiently.“Zayn clearly warned you to stay away from him, isn't it?”“You don't need to remind me, just answer my question” I half yelled.“And what if I don't?”“Zayn's life is in danger, you fool!&rdquo
William POV“I'm sorry, but I need some water,” She says, staring down.Suddenly, remorse started eating me up.Maybe I shouldn't have talked to her in such a manner, but I couldn't help my anger.My eyes were glued to the table with everything running through my head.“Mum” I heard Flora call out.I raised my head.“Flora” Stella also called and my eyes dilated.What's going on?Flora rose to her feet at once and I watch as Stella ran to where she's standing, checking every part of her body.“Oh, gracious Lord… it's really you” she exclaimed and snuggle Flora into her arms.“I missed you so much darling” Stella cries, stroking Flora's back.“I missed you too Mum, and I'm deeply sorry for causing you so much pain,” Flora says, tears rushing out from her eyes.Stella disengaged from the hug and smile widely at Flor
Somewhere in San FranciscoFlora POVI was lying on the bed with my legs crossed while my whole attention was centered on the book in my hand.I heard my door room opened, I glanced up from the novel I was reading.I couldn't hide the frown that crept on my face, and I looked down to my novel again.“How are you doing, dear?” She asked as she ambled closer, I scoffed lightly.She sat very close to me on the bed and placed a hand on my leg; yet I didn't spare her a glance. What does she want?“Flora” She cooed.I rolled my eyes and tossed the book aside.“What's it, Mum?” I asked bluntly, and she sighed; bringing her face down.“Flora, dear, you should know I'm doing all this for you; you…” “What exactly are you doing, Mum?” I butt in, standing on my feet already.“Haven't you done enough?”“You handed my ha...
