20 ??She broke my heart. Again.?? (1/2)

ZAYN

All the breath left my body. ”What the hell does that mean?”

She looked away. ”Nothing.”

I was up and kneeling in front of her in a second. My eyes met her sad ones. ”I asked. What. Do. You. Mean?”

This time when her eyes met mine, I saw the same shadow of grief that been lining her eyes the whole day. Ten seconds passed. I waited. And waited.

”Leia?” I probed.

”I'm married,” She blurted.

”I—what—” I shook my head.

”His name is Ammar. We've been married for a long time.”

I stared at her. Laughed dryly. ”What the heck are you saying?”

”I don't know why I'm even bothering to tell you this. Just go away.” She turned her head to the left. ”I can't even look at you right now.”

I didn't get up. I couldn't. It's like my feet were stuck to the ground in front of her. I didn't know what I felt or whether my brain had the ability to function properly or not. I know for sure that my knees gave out and I wasn't looking at Leia anymore.

I wish she'd never told me any of this.

She's in love with another guy. My Leia is in love with another guy.

”Tell me you're kidding,” I pleaded. ”Tell me this is some sick joke, Leia.”

Whatever she saw in my expression had her ice thawing. Her gaze softened and she almost looked at me in pity.

I didn't like that look one bit.

”It shouldn't matter to you Zayn,” Her words didn't match her expression or tone. ”None of this should be of any concern to you.”

I shook my head, unable to take this. ”You have a husband?”

”Yeah,”

”And children?” I wouldn't be surprised if she said yes. I was storing this information in my head to process it all later.

She shook her head.

She loves another man.

My sweet, sweet Leia wasn't so innocent after all. Someone had already taken her—
