She sat in the back of the car beside Gigi, looking in her lap, not say8ng anything.
"Look, I know that its the first time we have met each other but honestly? I see you as my neice too, you know? Zayn always talks about all the fun times he has had with you and how much he misses you. I have always wanted to meet you." Gigi shrugged.
"I've always wanted to meet you too. You seem nice. I am not speaking because I don't know what to say. The first time we have met and you saw me crying" Emily let out a nervous chuckle. "I am having a really bad day and yesterday was also a very bad day and I can't take it anymore. I just- I can't " said Emily as she broke down.
Gigi said nothing as she pulled Emily to her chest and rubbed her back.
"Shhhh. Its okay. Its fine. You are allowed to cry. See we are here. Uncle Zayn is inside, waiting for me. Let's surprise him, huh?" Gigi smiled at the girl.
Emily nodded before wiping her tears and trying to put on a smile.
"C'mon now, you don't have to fake it. Its Zayn. You really think that wiping your tears will eliminate the possibility of him understand that you are in pain?" Said Gigi before grabbing her hand and pulled her alongside herself.
She opened the door to her house as Emily looked around.
"ZAYN! I have a surprise for you" yelled Gigi.
"What is it?" Asked Zayn as he peepd his head through the doorway in the passageway.
"Hey Uncle Z" Emily smiled awkwardly.
"EMILY!?!?!?" Zayn smiled wide showing his teeth. Emily grinned at his reaction before running to him and giving him a bear hug.
"UNCLE Z" She smiled into his shoulder.
"Oh my God. You have grown SO much. Wow. Such a beautiful lady" he pulled away from her and took a careful look at her face. "Have you been crying?"
"Yes? Its a bad day" she waved him off.
"Well come on then. We have a LOT to catch up on and we'll have a nice chat" Zayn smiled at his niece.
Gigi smiled at the two before going into the kitchen to cook something for them.
She told him the whole story from the beginning. From the damce competition, to coming out, to her asshole boyfriend, to her perverted teacher, to her Uncle Ni saving her, to her and her parents being outed, the meeting and everything. She ranted out everything that was in her mind. Zayn sat there patiently listening, giving her occasional hugs as she let her guard down and broke into tears.
"Come here" Zayn pulled her into a tight embrace.
"You don't have to go back to the orphanage, you don't have to have a threesome, you don't have to do ANYTHING you don't like. Okay? Stay here for a while. Spend some time with your uncle Z and your aunt Gigi, okay?"
"Okay" she said as she nodded.
"I'll get you a change of clothes and you can have a good sleep. Beauty sleep is very important, specially at you age" said Zayn. Emily chuckled and nodded before wiping her tears and her nose. She took a deep breath as she got everything off her chest.
"Here you go. You can take a shower if you want. If you want to eat something then tell me, okay?"
"Okay" she replied.
She was not hungry for anything right now. She changed into the T-shirt and shorts and lay down on the bed, tossing and turning. She closed her eyes as sleep finally overcame her.
"OH MY GOD!?" Gigi reacted to what Zayn told her. "Oh my God. That girl. She- I- I can't believe it. All this happened to her in two days!? She's so strong"
"I'm gonna murder Louis and Harry" said Zayn. He was about to say something else when their doorbell rang.
Zayn got up to get it. He saw his murder victims standing in front of him. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and narrowed his eyes at them.
"Zayn we know, it was wrong of us. I just need to see her" said Harry.
"WRONG?! It was outrageous of you. How could you just fucking sit there and watch!?!?!? She's you fucking daughter. And she is safe and sound here. She hasn't slept in two days, so she's sleeping. If she wants to see you, I'll bring her to you. Right now, you need to leave"
"Zayn Malik, please let us just see our daughter. I am in no mood of arguing. I need to see if she is alright. I really need to talk to her" said Louis through gritted teeth.
"Louis Tomlinson, talk to her when you start caring." Whisper yelled Zayn.
"I do care. I very much care. I just- I don't know Zayn. I- everything is falling down. We both care for her so much. I mean, I punched Harry's manager for God's sake. He could sue me but for all I care about right now is, if my daughter is alright. I haven't had a proper conversation with her in two days, since she came out. I don't know what she feels. I really need to apologize. I really need to see her and talk to her otherwise, I'll literally die of guilt and pain" begged Louis.
"Zayn, Please" pleaded Harry.
"Alright. You can see her. She's sleeping. She was really tired. So you can't disturb her. You can see her and go back home. When she wakes up, I'll ask her and if she wants to, then I'll drive her to your house, Harry" said Zayn calmly.
Louis relaxed a bit at his statement. The couple followed Zayn to where Emily was sleeping. Harry visibly relaxed at her sight and let out a sigh of relief. Even when she was sleeping, they could notice the frown lines on her forehead. She was probably having a nightmare, Harry thought.
Before anyone could stop him, he sat beside her head and ran his hand on her forehead. He bit his lip to restrain himself from letting out a sob. He bent down and gave a kiss on her forehead. She squirmed a little but soon enough her breathing went back to loong and deep breaths, indicating that she was asleep.
"I'll drop her by, Harry. She's okay for now" said Zayn, his eyes softening at the sight.
Harry and Louis nodded before leaving for their own house.
"We messed up real bad. We are horrible parents. Specially me. I mean, I left you and Emily in London to live alone... didn't take a moment to think about you" groaned Harry as he held his head in his hands. He sat on the edge of his bed cursing himself.
"Not 'specially' you. We both did. After mom died, I didn't take enough care of Emily. I just- I wish I could turn back time." Loiis said before siting down beside Harry and draping his arms around him. Harry turned to face him before leaning in and giving him a deep kiss.
Louis moaned, biting his lip. Harry grabbed a fistful of his shirt and pulled him closer to his body. Louis took deep breaths as he pushed his head back in pleasure. Harry pulled om the hem of his shirt, indicating that he wanted it off.
"E-Emily. She'll- be here. We- can't. Not right now." Louis groaned out. Harry pulled away with a disappointed face. "Sorry Harry, but-"
"Its okay. I understand. I- I don't kmow what took over me" Harry chuckled nervously.
"I-" he was cut off by the doorbell.
They looked at each other in an instant, knowing it would be Emily. They ram downstairs and opened the door and sighed at Emily's sight.
"Hey Dad, Papa" she acknowledged them.
"Emily! Thank God. We're so sorry-"
"Its okay. I'll be back in a second. I just have to say goodbye to Uncle Z" Her fathers nodded at her.
She soon came back and they sat at the couch just awkwardly looking at each other.
"Em-"
"Look, I know you are sorry for everything. You always are. And I always forgive you. You didn't come to my dance competition? Okay. Its okay. Doesn't matter. But when that bastard was just standing there, blabbering absolute shit, you just- you didn't do anything. You just sat there listening to that man setting me up for rape. I'm tired now. I'm tired of hiding. I'm tired of understanding. I'm tired of pretending that I am happy. I've been miserable since uncle Zayn left the band. After that, everything fell apart. Nana Jo died. Papa shifted here, Dad grew distant. I was finally happy the day of the competition. Even if you didn't come, I was ready to forgive you. Then fucking Mason happened. Even then I decided that it was for the good. I went to Daisy... to tell her... to tell her that.... that.... that I..... that I love her..... then I sqw her with a blonde girl. Kissing. And just like that, whatever seemed okay, went back to being absolute bullshit" Emily broke down for the millionth time in the two days.
Harry's eyes softened as he approached her carefully and and put his arms around her.
"Its okay Pumpkin. Sometimes the people we love, don't love us back. Sometimes we loose them. Sometimes, it gets too late. But we've gotta hold on. Right?"
"Right" she sniffled as she wiped her running nose with her sleeve.
"How about we have a family night?" Louis asked hopefully. Emily nodded at him.
They got up to get into their pajamas and order take out when Jeffery barged in with Henry.
"WHAT ARE YOU THREE DOING TOGETHER?!" Jeff growled.
"What the fuck are you doing in my house? Get out" Harry yelled. Emily jumped a little at her Papa's outburst.
"No. We need to talk about this mess"
"Not now, not today. Today, we are having family time and you are invading it. Plus, if you don't get out right now, I will call the police for invasion of private property." Said Harry as he pulled out his phone.
Jeff gritted his teeth before saying "FINE. But this conversation is not over. I want all of you in my office tomorrow"
"Fine" said Harry rolling his eyes.
Finally after Jeffery and Henry left. They had a happy family time after a long period. They watched movies, they baked, they ate lots and lots of food. They swam in Harry's pool in the backyard. At the end of the perfect evening, they all slept in the master bedroom together.
