*Flashback*
Zayn’s POV:
“Noooo!!” I shouted after Simon shot Marlya for the second time.
She fell on the ground.
Harry, Louis and I rushed to her.
“Marlya !! Marlyaaaa!!” I shouted.
I couldn’t fight back my tears.
This was too much.
Louis took her hand.
“Look at me, look at me!!” he shouted.
She looked at me, then her eyes met Harry.
She smiled at him and then she closed her eyes and went unconscious.
“Marlyaa!! Nooo!! Let me goo!! Let me goooo!!!” Emma was screaming.
I lifted my head up.
Liam was holding her.
Niall wasn’t there.
Joe and Nathan looked panicked.
Simon was standing at the door, staring at Emma.
“You’ll understand one day why I did that, Emma. I know what you just saw was too much for you, so I’ll let you stay here for a while.”
“YOU!!” I pointed at Simon and clenched my teeth and narrowed my eyes and ran to him.
Louis held me from behind.
“Don’t do anything stupid, Zayn. Don’t make this situation any worse.” He whispered.
Like I cared!!
“You son of a bitch!!! You killed her!! YOU KILLED HER!!” I shouted and stepped forward but Louis was holding me tightly.
Simon gave me a warning look.
“You have to thank me, Malik! I could make YOU do that!! I did you a favor!”
I clenched my fists.
I was still a bit dizzy and injured but I was getting my strength back.
“I hate you!! You’re not my dad!! My dad would never do that!! Fuck off!! Fuck off!!” Emma shouted and elbowed Liam and attacked to Simon.
She didn’t succeed as Liam pushed her away.
“Emma, I pretend that I didn’t hear you.” Simon said to her.
“I’ll kill you!! I’ll kill you!!” she said.
Liam held her tightly.
Niall came out of the kitchen.
“You can pray to God that I never get my hands on you, cause then you’ll be a dead man!!” I threatened him and tried to get rid of Lou’s strong arms.
“Let me go!! I WANNA KILL HIM!! HE’S NOT MY DAD!! Where is Robert you bastard? What did you do to him?!” Emma shouted and got out of the Liam’s grip and turned back and kneed Liam in the manhood.
She was so wild and crazy…. So was I.
Liam fell on the ground, holding his crotch.
Niall grabbed Emma and pushed her to the ground.
Emma seized his shirt so they both fell on the ground.
“Fuck off!!” Emma shouted.
“Emma, you’re way out of…”
“I swear I’ll kill you!! You hear me? I’m going to kill you!! I’ll shred you to pieces!!” I cut off Simon.
My heart was beating faster than usual.
I was ready to kill him.
I could feel the adrenaline in my veins.
Emma was trying to punch Niall as he was holding her hands in his fists and straddling her.
She was strong.
Niall was sweating.
“Zayn, no…” Louis whispered.
Niall finally held her hands with one hand and took out a needle out of his pocket and plunged it into her wrist.
She screamed and fought back but Niall just held her hands in the air.
“I can’t waste my time here any longer. Tell Emma to come back home as soon as possible. Good boys.”
Simon said and pointed his gun at Nathan and Joe and pulled the trigger twice and then left the house.
I looked at Emma.
Her eyes were closed.
She didn’t see that…
Louis let me go and rushed to Marlya.
I turned back and looked at her.
“She’s breathing.” Harry murmured.
“What? ... Take her home, NOW!” I shouted and threw the car keys at Louis.
Harry picked her up carefully and walked out of the house with Louis following them.
Niall stood up.
I looked at him.
He had beaten Marlya.
I grabbed his neck and slammed him to the wall.
“Zayn!!” Liam shouted.
“You beat my friend!” I spat out and start punching his stomach.
Adrenaline had made me stronger.
“Zayn!! It’s not a good time for this!! Zayn!! Zayn we’re all injured!!” Liam shouted.
“I’m sorry” Niall whimpered.
Liam pushed me away.
“Stop it!! You’re acting insane Zayn!! It’s not you!! I know in what situation you are right now but hitting him is the last thing you have to do!” Liam was trying to calm me down.
“You don’t fucking know!!He beat Marlya!! This bastard!” I snapped at him and delivered a kick in Niall’s groin.
Niall groaned and grabbed his crotch.
“We don’t hit each other!!” Liam warned me.
“I don’t care!! He beat her!! He fucking beat her!!!” I shouted.
“Okay… just relax… she’ll be fine… I promise.”
“Simon shot her twice!!”
“She was breathing!! She’ll be fine!!”
His words somehow comforted me.
I sat on the floor panting.
Niall was rubbing his stomach.
“First Emma, now you!!” Niall snapped at me.
“What? Emma beat you too? I like that girl. She’s… different.” Liam said.
I glared at him.
“Of course she is!! Man she’s Simon’s daughter!!” Niall said.
“It’s time to get the hell out of here.” Liam said and looked at me.
“What do we have to do with Max, Frank, Sarah and Katy?” Niall asked Liam.
Apparently Niall had taken Katy to the kitchen, so that Simon doesn’t hurt her.
At least he was the one who had a good head on his shoulders among us.
“We’ll call the ambulance.” Liam said and helped me stand up.
“No we fucking won’t!! Just leave them here!!” I said.
“What about Katy?” Niall asked.
“Do you want her dead? Get the guns and let’s get out of here.” Liam said and picked up Emma and went out of the house.
I glared at Niall.
“I’m sorry, man. You now I had to do it.” He sighed.
I shook my head and went out of the house.
------
Marlya was lying on my bed.
Liam put Emma on the other side of the bed, next to Marlya.
Harry’s shirt was covered with Marlya’s blood.
“I’m going to look for Simon.” Liam said and went out of the room.
“We need to get the bullets out! Now!!” Louis said.
“What do you need?” I asked him.
“Do you have needle and thread?” Louis asked.
“I guess so, yeah.” I replied.
“Boiling water?”
”I’m on it.” Niall said and gave Louis the needle he had injected Emma with and went out of the room.
“Can you save her?” Harry asked Louis, looking at Marlya.
He hadn’t talked this whole time.
“I don’t know mate.” Louis replied.
----
After that Louis took out the bullets, he patched her wound up and put a rag on her stomach.
I was standing right next to him when he was doing that.
Harry and Niall had left the house an hour ago.
I sat next to Marlya and started to talk to her.
Louis sat on the end of the bed.
“Do you think Emma’s Simon’s daughter? Like his real daughter?” Louis asked me.
“I think she is.”
“She called him Robert, right? So his real name is…
“Robert Branson” I completed his sentence.
I started to stroke Marlya’s hair.
She looked so innocent.
“I had no idea that he might have a child, let alone a girl. So in England he’s Simon Cowell, in America he’s Robert Branson? I had two identities if I were like him too.” Louis said.
“What should we tell Emma when she woke up?” I asked him.
“I don’t know. I think we should tell her the truth. She needs to know everything. Otherwise, we’re all screwed.” Louis murmured.
*End of the flashback*
I woke up on the couch, with my head resting on Niall’s shoulder.
He was snoring.
I looked at my watch.
9:30
Niall moved a bit and groaned and then opened his eyes and stared at me.
“What?” I said to him.
He frowned and closed his eyes again.
“Go check on Marlya….” he groaned.
“Wha… Marlya? Marlya!!” I shouted as I remembered what had happened yesterday.
How could I forget that?!
How did I even fell asleep? Oh right…. Vodka…
I rushed to her room.
She was still breathing.
Harry was lying next to her on the bed.
They were both asleep.
I went to the other side of the bed and pulled Harry’s leg.
He groaned and opened his eyes.
“Who told you to sleep next to her?! She needs fresh air!!” I snapped at him.
“Wha..t?” he whimpered.
“Fuck you Styles!” I said a bit loud.
He groaned and got back to sleep again.
Marlya moved her head to the side and...she… she opened her eyes!
I ran to her and held her hand.
“Marlya? Marlya look at me!! Can you see me? Do you know who I am?” I said.
“Zayn?” she groaned.
“Yes yes it’s me…” I almost cried.
“I… I’m thirsty.” She breathed.
“I’ll get you some water now!!” I said and ran out of the room.
She had woken up… she was still alive… this was a miracle.
