Malik's Daughter
Chapter 6 - Meeting Zayn
Ellie’s POV
“Ellie, show Kailyn to her room. She is having her own room while Darcy will be sleeping with Uncle Harry and Aunt Sam” I nod and pick up Kailyn’s tiny suitcase
“Come on Kailyn” I lift my hand slightly so Kailyn can hold it. She looks shy at first but holds on smiling at me. We walk up the stairs with one step at a time. Not too fast so Kailyn can keep up
As we get to the top I open the door to Kailyn’s room. It is a plain white room with a little bed for Kailyn. It was mine when I was young so mum must have brought it down for Kailyn
Kailyn lets go of my hand and jumps onto the bed giggling
“That was mine when I was little” I say smiling. She hugs a pillow feeling the smoothness of it
Suddenly the door opens a tiny bit and Hatchi comes in running to me. I pick her up and look at Kailyn. Her face is frightened
“She won’t hurt” I say as I sit next to her “I think she is actually scared of you”
“Can I touch her” Kailyn asks
“Of course” I move slightly so Kailyn is in reach. Then Kailyn lifts her hand and slowly strokes her.
“She likes you” I say smiling
“Ellie, Kailyn. Come down here” my mum calls. I let go of Hatchi as we walk downstairs. We go into the living room where Mum, Aunt Sam and Uncle Harry are seated; Darcy is sleeping by her mum. Kailyn runs to Aunt Sam and sits on her lap hugging her
“Yeah” I say
“Um Kailyn why don’t you get Hatchi and play with her in your room” Uncle Harry says
“Yes daddy” Kailyn runs out of the room and upstairs to her room
“Ellie sit down” I do so and sit down next to my mum
“Uncle Harry and Aunt Sam have told me that you have been asking them some question” I look at them in betrayal
“You told her” I say looking at their sad faces
“We had to” Uncle Harry. His voice sounds different. With sadness
“I told you yesterday that Zayn was a friend” mum says twiddling her thumbs. She always does that when she is lying or nervous. She must be both
“I looked on the internet. You and Zayn went out and broke up. I was conceived when you were dating. Is he my father” I stand up; tears were welling up
“Darling, just sit down” mum stands up and holds onto my hand. I rip it away and walk out of the living room. I run upstairs; grab my jacket, phone and some money
I walk back down and mum is by the door
“Where are you going” mum asks
“Out” I say
“Where out” mum asks
“Just out” I slam the door behind me walking through the streets. I go to the park where I always go. Ever since I can remember I have always been to this park. I mean it’s so peaceful. There are 2 parks in this town and hardly anyone goes to this one; anyone but me
I sit on the grass as the sun beats down on my neck and face. I lay there just thinking.
How can one man change my life completely? If he is my father why didn’t I know? My mum told me he was dead and she has told me that for 14 years
I sigh as I close my eyes from the sun. Suddenly I hear the footsteps nearby. I sit up opening my eyes. Nearby is him; Zayn
“Hey, you are Ellie” I nod as he smiles and sits next to me
“I like your top” I look down at my zap top
“My mum bought it for me” I say
“I have a tattoo like that” Zayn lifts his sleeve and it shows one of many tattoos. One is of a zap one
“Cool, I want a tattoo when I’m older. Just one but I don’t know what. Does it hurt” I ask
“The first one hurts but after a while it doesn’t” he says “I actually got one of your mum”
“Really, where is it” I ask
“It was henna so it faded in 6 months but I have a picture” Zayn gets his phone from his pocket and goes on his pictures. He picks one and shows it to me. It’s of Zayn’s arm and on it is a tattoo of my mum. I have seen that picture of her before
“Cool” I say “Um how did you know my mum” I wanted to see if he was lying
“We were friends” Zayn says. Yep he is lying
“I was looking at some websites yesterday of my mum and you” I say looking down
“Really” Zayn says
“Yeah, it said that you were in a boy band with my Uncle Louis, Uncle Harry, Uncle Liam and Uncle Niall. Is that true” I ask
“Yeah, we were in a band called One direction” Zayn says
“Also did you date my mum” I ask. Zayn just looks at me with shock
“Ellie, show Kailyn to her room. She is having her own room while Darcy will be sleeping with Uncle Harry and Aunt Sam” I nod and pick up Kailyn’s tiny suitcase
“Come on Kailyn” I lift my hand slightly so Kailyn can hold it. She looks shy at first but holds on smiling at me. We walk up the stairs with one step at a time. Not too fast so Kailyn can keep up
