Christian left Syed alone in a room with his mum and dad, who have just found out. He real wished he didn't have to leave him, he looked so scared and helpless.

Christian stepped into his room. And he stayed in there for what felt like hours, but really it was only forty-five minutes. When Syed turned up, he was crying.
***
Syed's stomach really hurt, Amira could really pack a punch. He was glad when Zainab told Tamwar to take Amira to her room. But he wasn't so glad when she told Christian to leave. He needed him, he was so scared.
When Christian had left it was quiet for a few minutes, but he could feel the heat radiating from them. It was Masood who broke the silence.
'Syed tell me how? Do you really hate us that much?'
'I don't hate you. It was because I love that I was going to marry Amira. I love you so much I treated Christian horribly, I am surprised he didn't give up on me.'
'I don't care' shouted Zainab 'I don't know and I don't want to know when, where or how! All I do know is what is going to happen now'
'And what is that Zee?' asked Masood.
'It is, Syed you will go down stairs and tell everyone the wedding is off, then tomorrow you will come round and pick up your stuff and leave our house forever! You will no longer work at Masala Queen.'
'What about Christian? Syed asked.
'What about him' Zainab snapped
'Well does he still have a job?'
'Unfortunately, Christian is under Ian's employment' Syed breathed a sigh of relief.
'Shut up! You disgusting little creature' shouted Zainab.
'MUM!' Syed wept,
'Just go and tell everyone the wedding is off!'
