Family first

38. LEAVE!

Zayn and I woke up at the same time today, I'm really scared about going through this plan, but it's our only way out. The cars are usually parked on the side of the house, and the blue car is the first car to pull out of the driveway. Zayn told me this when he was outside observing

He will work for a bit and then come inside when he does come in. He will get Taylor and I will get the backs, we will only have a few minutes to leave without them noticing anything

"You nervous?" Zayn whispered, pulling me into his arms

"Very," I said softly

"Don't worry, everything will be okay,"

He placed a kiss on my lips before opening the door to go downstairs. Shaun was already down there with Jax, I made breakfast for them, and they ate. Jax couldn't take his eyes off me the entire time

"Come out when you're done, boys," Shaun said as he left the table

Zayn and Jax finished up and went to put their shoes on while I washed the dishes. Once I was done, I went back to them, I gave Zayn a hug before he walked out, and Jax came and gave me a hug as well

"I love you too," he whispered

He let go of me, then walked out and locked the door, I took Emma's food to the room and gave it to her. She was sleeping on Jax's side of the bed

"You awake?" I asked

"Yup, can't sleep anyways," Emma said

"I brought breakfast,"

"Thank you,"

I gave her the food and saw she had more brusies and scars on her body. Is he taking his anger out on her? What the h*ll Jax

"You don't you sleep on that side of the bed?" I asked

"Does it matter?" She asked

"No, it's just a random question." I smiled

Sge smiled back then said, "Jax doesn't allow me to sleep on that side."

"Why's that?"

"I don't know, he just said he likes this side better,"

"His weird"

I sat on the edge of the bed as she sat up well and tried to sit up. There was silence for a few seconds as I looked around this room

"Can I ask you something?" Emma spoke

"Sure."

"Are you in love with Jax?"

"What? No, " I quickly denied it

"Well, he seems to be in love with you," she shrugged her shoulders

"What makes you say that?" I asked curiously

"Last night when he came into the room, he didn't say a word. Usually, he would say mean things to me, but he didn't. He just got into the bed and"

"And what?"

"Nothing, he was quiet. Even when he woke up, he greeted me for the first time. I asked him if his okay, and he said she's leaving me. "

"Maybe that's something else. It doesn't mean his in love with me, "

"Who knows?"

Yea, who knows what goes on through that boys mind...

"Anyways, I need to clean up. I'll see you later. " I smiled

"Okay," she smiled back

Sorry Emma, but I won't be seeing you later

I went into Zayn's room and grabbed our bag, then took it downstairs to the living room, I left it by one of the couchs so that no one saw it. I went up for the last time and checked if I got everything, then went back down

I waited impatiently for Zayn to come back. It felt like hours until I heard the front door open. Zayn rushed in and went straight to the basement. They opened the door and ran in. A few seconds later, both Taylor and Zayn came out. Taylor had blood on him, but I wasn't gonna ask now

"Grab the bags," Zayn said

Taylor and I grabbed the bags and ran out of the house, we put the bags in the car while Zayn locked up. He ran back to the car and got in, Zayn started the engine and pulled out of the driveway. Then, he drove onto the dirt road without any hesitation. He pressed the accelerate, and the car went flying down the dirt road, Zayn didn't even look back once. He just kept driving until the sun was setting

"Where are we going to go?" I asked him

"I don't know, the house that I had planned for us was too close to dad's house. It wouldn't have been safe to stay there, " Zayn said

"We can go to my place if yall want, Quinton and I used to stay there. No one knew the address, " Taylor said

"Where is it?" Zayn asked

"I'll guide you through it,"

--

Sometime passed, but we made it to Taylor's house. Taylor had a garage, so we parked the car in there, then got out. I can't believe we escaped that house, I never thought we would. Taylor pulled out a spare key from under something and then opened the door. The house wasn't a very easy house to fine. As in, it wasn't a house that stood out, plus it's in the middle of the city near a hospital

We got into the house, and Taylor switched the lights on. The house was a reasonable size. Zayn seemed tired but also relieved

"It's okay, love," I told him

"I know, now we can start a new life,"

"My phone is still here." Taylor came by us

"Seems like everything is still here," I said

"Yea, I'm gonna order some food for us. If that's fine with Zayn, " Taylor looked at Zayn

"Yea, whatever that means," Zayn said

"Cool."

"Let's go have a shower. You should feel better by then," I told him

He nodded his head, and I took him to the bathroom, we had a shower, then got dressed. We took one of the rooms while Taylor stayed in his room.

We went to the living room and sat down while we waited for the food. The food arrived, and Taylor ordered pizza

We all ate, and Zayn was amazed at how much stuff you could put on dough. He finally calmed down and relaxed a bit. He wasn't sure what to do, he didn't have any knowledge about working in the outside world. Before, he had a routine, but now his lost, but I'm completely willing to help him

"We need to start a life properly here. I'll get a job in the meantime while Zayn learns a few things before he decides to do anything, " Taylor said

"Thank you," Zayn said

"Thank you for coming back for me. If you didn't, your brother would've killed me,"

We spoke for a bit about what happened next before we went to bed
