Zayn's pov

I quickly went home after my shift trying to be as normal as possible, not to make them suspicious. I subtly left my phone on the counter, so that won't be the problem anymore. Now comes the tricky part, from past two days i feel like someone is keeping eyes on me even when I'm at home. I'll have to be very careful even in my own house. I don't trust Mr. Styles neither my father so whatever i do I'll have to be sure and careful. On wrong step and I'll be caught.

I tried to walk as usually as i use to, looking here and there trying to find the one who was watching me, but i didn't saw anyone. After 10 minutes of walking i was at my doorstep. I thought dad won't be home but to my surprise he was sitting right on the couch, reading a magazine. Something is wrong, he never gets home before 9, i always come back from work at 8 so i know exactly what time he walks in that door.

"Lock yourself in that barn and you are not eating anything so don't come back down till your work" he spat without even looking my way.

"okay dad" i said leaving him and walking straight inside my "barn". That's good for me because i needed time to pack my stuffs. Okay now let's get to work but before that I'll have to get fresh. I'm tired.

I went inside the bathroom and did my business and came out all relaxed and i was feeling really good. Now time to pack. I took my backpack as i didn't wanted to use any bags. Backpacks are easy to carry and I don't have worry for looking after them. I neatly stuffed my clothes not all just some comfortable clothes that i thought would be necessary, my hair products they are my life i can never forget them, oh my babies. I quickly put them in and took few more things that i thought were important for me.

After half an hour i was ready with my bag. I have many things left in my closet but i couldn't take them with me. Every passing minute was make me so nervous, all negative thoughts that i suppressed, came rushing back into my mind. All "what if's"  came back inside my head. I so badly wanted to get them out of my head but i really couldn't.

Dad is right downstairs, what if he caught me? What if he contacted Mr. Styles? What will he do to me? What if Ni and i failed to escape? What will happen to Ni if we will get caught? So many questions were running inside my head but i had no answers. I'll put Niall in danger if this escape plan will fail and i can't let that happen. I'll have to make it work. Niall is already sacrificing his life by making this plan and trying to help me by getting away from Mr. Styles and my father so I'll do anything to keep him safe.

I quickly rechecked everything, trying not to forget anything which i would need. I rushed inside the bathroom and took the first-aid kit that was in there, just in case. Okay now I'm ready all i have to do is wait. After setting alarm in my clock i got inside of my sheets and went to sleep.

I abruptly woke up due to my alarm blaring beside me. I quickly turned it off not to wake my dad. I silently went towards my front window and carefully peeked outside from a side, careful not to alert someone who might be out there, that's why i didn't even turned the lights on. I saw a man wearing all black facing other side, his back was facing me. I quickly recognised him to be the one who was watching me. I scurried away from the front window and went towards the other end where the other window was, that window wasn't huge but it was enough for me to pass through.

I saw Ni was standing down giving me thumbs-up, I threw my back down for him to catch, he easily caught it and put it aside, i rushed back inside and took out the rope that was hidden in my closet which Niall gave to me after he came from shopping. I tied it with the hook that was in my window and tied it tightly. I pulled it few times to check if it was strong enough. I left the rope outside of the window and it touched the ground. I carefully grabbed the rope and started climbing down while my legs were onto the wall slowly climbing down. In between climbing my foot slipped and i almost lost my balance but i quickly got the hold of it. The height wasn't much as my house was just two story, so even if fell down I'll just break few bones.

After my feet touched the grass ni hugged me, and i breathed a sigh of relief as the most important part of the plan was done. I was out of the house without any problem. I was still in niall's embrace, he pecked my forehead and let me go. He took the hold of my backpack and put it around his shoulder and took hold of my hand and started running towards the park which was just few steps ahead of us. Its back gate was facing my house back so it was easy for me to get in there and to leave from the other side.

We rushed into the park as it was 3 in the morning not a single soul can be seen, so we silently left from the front gate. I had the hood of my hoodie on, so no one can see my face. We quickly left the park and niall started dragging me god knows where.

"How much time would we need to get there Ni?" I asked as he slowed down, we were practically running before but now we were walking. He was clutching my hand so tightly as if if he let it loose and i will disappear. I smiled at that thought, he is scared of losing me.

"We will have walk for a while baby, its a bit far away from here as it is hidden deep in the forest. I'm so sorry i didn't bring my car i was scared what if they will recognise me because of it." He sighed, all i could see was guilt on his face but it wasn't his fault that he couldn't being the car and it's good that he didn't bring it we could have been caught.

"No, Ni it's okay I understand and you did it for my own safety. I can walk for a while and if I'll get tired I'll tell you, i promise" i said reassuring him.

"Okay good, let me know if you are tired" he said and we continued walking. The night was beautiful, calm, not more people were on the streets, everything was so peaceful, the wind was so cool i could have been shivering but my hoodie was thick enough to keep me warm. I wish my life could be as calm as this wind. As peaceful as this moment but everything was a mess in reality.

"Ni it's so beautiful at night, can't it stay like this always. I want it to always stay like this.. its feels so good, no stress, no tension, no fear, nothing." I said dreamily as i was feeling so happy.

"I wish that too Zee, i wish that too" he said while we continued walking peacefully. Hope eveything will be all right. I hope one day I won't have to hide from everyone, i hope my life will be as norma as everyone's, i hope I'll have my happily ever after like all those fairytale. I've always dreamt of them and i always wanted them to be true. I hope I'll get mine as well some day.
