Zerraya

*Sixteen Years Before*
Zayn's POV
We were sitting at the bank, getting ready to hear the horrors that were about to be revealed. Perrie held our little girl in her arms. He walked in, carrying a stack of papers. His face showed no emotions. I gulped the fear away. He sat down, and looked at us.
"I have good news, bad news, and well, terrible news." He told us. I grabbed Perrie's hand.
"Well, what's the good news?" I asked.
"You have enough to pay off most of your debts." I managed a small smile. I squeezed Perrie's hand softly.
"That's great!" I said. He looked at me in the eye. I cleared my throat. "Right. The other news." He took a deep breath
"Ever since One Direction fell off the charts, you've lost a lot of money. And your contractors are not happy. The money from the albums and merchandise will pay most of the debt. But..." He trailed off.
"But what?" I asked. He took a deep breath. And I knew, that was the bad news. There was more. And, well, terrible news.
"You don't have enough money to fund for a family." Perrie gasped, clutching Zerraya to her chest.
"What do you mean?" She asked. Tears shone in her eyes.
"You can't keep Zerraya. Not unless you want her to die of hunger. This is for her safety. Her well being." He kept going, but they slipped in a blur. Zerraya, on cue, started bawling. Perrie started to cry. Not wanting to say good-bye. "We have an orphanage ready. They are waiting for Zerraya in the lobby."
"Right now? You can't possibly expect us to be able to say goodbye right now." I said over Perrie's crying. He sighed. Perrie cried even louder
"I'm sorry for your loss." He stood up, and walked away. My heart ached as I looked at our little girl.
"I'm so sorry. I'm so, so sorry." I said. I stood up, and walked to Perrie. I managed to get her to stand, and walk to the lobby. There was a female standing there. She had bright green eyes, and had a frown on her face. She walked over, and outstretched her arms. Perrie, hesitantly, handed her over to the woman. The woman snatched her away, not letting us say goodbye. I felt hot tears fall down my cheeks.
"You monster!" Perrie cried. I grabbed her as she began to scream at them. The woman ignored her. The whole time, I kept telling her it was okay.
"I'm so sorry. I'm so, so, so sorry." I said to myself more than Perrie. Good-bye my little Zerraya.
