31- The first kiss
It has been two weeks since Zayn found about Anthony and since then he's just telling me to hold on. I'll help you, just trust me. His lines rang in my head. Tossing on the bed, I stared at the window when my phone grabbed my attention towards it.
I looked at the caller ID and sighed.
"Hello."
"Why haven't you been picking up my phone?" Anthony shouted.
"Because I don't want to." I answered simply.
"Shut up. Just give me my money otherwise it won't be good for you." He gritted.
"I already told you that I don't have any money with me." I frowned, getting up from the bed.
"How many times do I told you that's not my problem?"
"Please try to understand." I begged as the tears started forming in my eyes.
"No." He growled. The tears made their way down my cheeks whilst I hung up the phone without saying a single word.
Sighing, I wiped away the tears and ignored all his calls. After I was done with my daily morning routine, I found my phone ringing again but this time it was Doniya. A smile made its way on my lips as I grabbed my phone and picked the call.
"Hello darling." Came the sweet voice of Doniya which made me feel happy.
"Hey Doni." I managed to reply.
"is everything okay? You sound sick."
"Nah.. I'm fine.." I croaked out, trying hard not to burst up crying.
"Have you done your breakfast?" She asked.
"Erm.. No.. I was about to.." I trailed off.
"Oh I'm sorry, first take your breakfast." She said,"We'll talk later."
"hmm." I hummed,"see ya."
"Take care."
Cutting of the phone, I served myself some breakfast when my phone ringed. Looking at Zayn's name, a smile spread on my face as I picked up the call.
"Hey Zayn." I smiled to myself.
"Hi Evelyn." Came his soft voice,"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, why?" I frowned.
"Nothing much, Doniya just called me and told that you're feeling sick." He explained.
"Um.. No.. I'm fine." I replied, my voice cracking in between.
"Evelyn, if there's something bothering you, you can always tell me, okay?" He asked.
"Okay." I whispered.
"Now tell me." He asked softly.
"He called." I croaked out, blinking away the tears,"And threatened me."
"What the hell did he say!" Zayn asked angrily.
"He was asking for his money." I sobbed,"But I don't have a single penny."
"Shhh." Zayn cooed, trying to make me feel better,"I'm coming over. We'll find a way okay?"
"Okay." I nodded,"Bye."
"Bye." He said before hanging up the phone. Five minutes passed by since the phone call when the doorbell rang.
"He's here already?" I asked myself before walking up to the door and opened it. It wasn't Zayn.
"Why are you here?" I asked in disbelief and tried closing the door on his face but he was stronger. He pushed open the door as I stumbled backwards.
"I had to come." Anthony chuckled bitterly,"To take something which is mine."
"I t-told-d y-you, I-I don't h-have a s-single p-penny."
Glaring, he took a step forward while I stumbled backward, accidentally hitting the couch and fell down. "Ouch!" I muttered, holding my strained feet. I lifted my eyes up to find Anthony bent down to my level, with his eyes flaring with anger.
"I'm giving you just five days, just five." He barked, grabbing my chin harshly,"You better give me my money."

Zayn's pov :
After talking with Evelyn, I called the Male officer I met that day.
"Hello?" Came the voice of the officer.
"Hi, Its Zayn Malik here." I informed.
"Oh yeah, what help do you need?" He questioned.
"Why the hell is that bastard still freely roaming around the city? Why didn't you take any action against him?" I asked angrily.
"Sir, we need the statement of the victim to confirm that its him. Without that, we can't do anything." He replied calmly.
"And you tell me this now?" I frowned,trying to keep myself calm.
"I'm sorry Sir." He apologised.
"Keep your sorry with you!" I shouted, hanging up the phone and threw it on the bed.
"What's wrong?" Louis asked when he saw the concern on my face. I jumped slightly, just hoping that he didn't listen the conversation.
"Um nothing." I lied,"Evelyn is feeling sick."
"Why don't you go and see her then?" Louis asked, plopping on my bed.
"What will I tell Liam?" I sighed, sitting besides him and picked my phone.
"He's out." Louis smiled, winking at me,"And I'll just tell others that you went out to relax."
"Are you sure?" I asked, running my hands through my hair.
"Of course." Louis encouraged,"Cmon go now."
"Okay okay." I chuckled as he pushed me out of the door. Pulling out Louis's car's key, I opened the door and drived to Evelyn's flat. I quickly climbed the stairs and was about to ring the doorbell when I saw the scene going in front of me.
"GET AWAY!" I yelled, pulling the boy away from Evelyn. The boy turned around and that's when I realised that he's Anthony. Pushing him, I ran to Evelyn and helped her to get up. I put my hands around her shoulder as she leaned on to me for support. "What the heck were you doing?" I shouted, turning to Anthony,"Don't you understand?"
"So she told you huh?" Anthony guessed, a stupid smirk making its way on his lips,"Better then."
"Be relieved that nobody else knows otherwise you wouldn't be here." I warned.
"Oh oops, I'm scared." He laughed dramatically.
"Get out." I glared, pointing at the door,"Get out now!"
"Fine Fine, Mr. Boyfriend." He chuckled stupidly, stuffing his hands in his pockets and looked at Evelyn before walking away. As soon as he left, I turned to Evelyn to find her crying and biting her lips.
"Evelyn.." I hated to see her like this,"Come, sit."
Leading her to the couch, I rubbed her arms and made her sit down. "Did he hurt you?" I asked, pulling her legs on my lap.
"No, I fell down." She replied, wiping her tears,"I'm okay."
"Sure?" I looked up.
She nodded, not speaking much and kept her eyes down.
"Evelyn, this is why I want you to take some help." I sighed, holding her hands,"File a complaint against him."
She didn't reply and played with my fingers, still keeping her head low.
"Please?" I asked, hoping she will replay. She looked at me for a second,"I need time..."
"Okay, don't stress yourself too much." I gave her a small smile,"And don't open the door without checking who it is."
She nodded like a little child, moving her legs down from my lap.
"Thank you." She said, forcing a smile and looked at me.
I smiled at her and before I could know, we started leaning and moments later our lips touched. I cupped her face lightly as I could feel my heart fluttering.
The time seemed to stop, Just me and her. I could only hear our fast heart beats and it felt like my heart will be ripped off my chest. We pulled away and stared at each other for a few seconds, busy processing what happened in just twenty-thirty seconds. The two of us stayed quiet, enjoying the silence and from the corner of my eye, I could see her smiling. Her cheeks were red just like I could feel mine were.
The kiss was all like they show in the movie and books. Perfect. Just perfect.
