The Notebook- Chapter 16
Sophia’s POV
“Niall? What- how did you get my number?” I walk down the steps and sit on a bench on the side of the house.
“That’s not important. Sophia, I need you to come back here.”
“Niall, are you listening to what you are saying? How can you ask me to go back there, you know every-”
“Zayn needs you Soph, things haven’t been the same since you left.” he confesses.
“I’m sorry to hear that Niall, I really am but I can’t go back. He has Perrie and-”
“That’s bullshit though. She does nothing to make him better, they constantly fight and then…it’s a destructive relationship. Please Sophia, as a friend, I am asking you to help us out here.”
“Niall…” I know he is hurting, I can hear the desperation in his voice. I close my eyes, “Ok, I’ll be there as soon as I can. I can’t promise you that it’ll be tomorrow but I’ll be there.”
I can literally hear his sigh of relief, “Thank you Sophia. I- I will…we’ll see you here.”
“Ok. Do you guys still live in the same complex?” I turn around and see Jay coming to me.
“Yea.”
“Ok, thanks, I’ll see you then. Bye.” he says bye and I hang up the phone and get up. “What are you doing here?”
“Well we didn’t see you go in, I thought something was wrong. And your driver was looking at us like he was bout to kill us.” I laugh at the last part and he smiles, “You have a beautiful laugh.”
I smile and look away, “Thanks, so do you.” I admit.
“So are you gonna go somewhere?” he asks as we walk up to the door. “I’m sorry I overheard you tell someone that you’ll see them then.”
We walk in and I hear them all in the living room, “Yea I’m gonna go see a friend.” we all sit around and I look at John, “John, please book me a flight to London for Wednesday.”
He furrows his eyebrows in confusion, “Why? Is something wrong with Ryan?”
“N-No. But I need to see a friend.” I tell him, trying not to give away too much.
“Sophia, what-”
“John, you have to do as I say. Now, go.” I look at him and hold his gaze until he leaves. I plop on the couch feeling like a bitch. “I’m sorry you had to see that.” I tell the guys.
“No, it’s ok. Thank you for letting us stay here. Our manager will be here soon.” Siva informs me.
“Would you guys like something to drink or eat?” They all nod and I take them to the kitchen. “Get whatever you guys need. I’ll be back later.” I walk to my room and start packing my things, even though I don’t leave for another two days. I hear a knock on the door, “Come in.”
“Hi, I’m sorry if it looks like I’m stalking you, but I wanted to make sure you are ok.”
I purse my lips, “Thank you, that’s sweet of you. I, uh, I’m ok, just a bit tired.” I walk to the vanity table and skim through the things and stop at the picture of my dad.
“Where is your dad?”
I put my head down, “He’s dead.”
“I’m really sorry, I-”
“No, you didn’t know.” I turn to look at him, “Jay, it’s ok.” he looks away and I know he feels embarrassed. I walk and stand right in front of him, “Hey, I’m not mad. Thank you for your concern.” I don’t know what came over me but I hug him. He is surprised but returns the hug, “You’re a really sweet guy.”
“A beautiful woman like you shouldn’t be sad.” I start denying it but he cuts me off. “I see the far look in your eyes, you’re hurting and you want to hide it from the world. Let me in and I can help you.” he whispers the last part in my ear.
We pull apart, “But you barely even know me, why would you want to help me. For all you know, I could be the most stuck up selfish catty bitch in the world.”
He smiles, “You’re not. And I can say that with the utmost certainty.” he takes my hand. “You deserve to always be smiling.”
“Well aren’t you cheesy.” I say with a smile.
“Is that gouda?”
I burst out laughing. “You are very funny. And yes, it is very gouda.”
He smiles, “You really are beautiful.”
I clear out my throat, “Thank you.” I look down at our interlocked hands, “How bout we go back downstairs and get something to eat.” I suggest.
“Yea.” he starts walking, still holding my hand and I can’t help but smile.
Zayn’s POV
I can’t do this anymore. I miss her so much, it literally hurts to think about her. “Why did you leave me Sophie? Why?” I look around at all the dead flowers that surround me. “I miss you…”
“Zayn! Where are you?”
I lift my head up and lock the door to the greenhouse. I don’t want anyone bothering me, I don’t want to see anyone if it isn’t Sophia.
“Zayn, I need to talk to you.”
I know it’s Perrie, but I don’t want to see her, I don’t want to talk to her, I don’t want anything to do with her. “So why did you say yes to her? Why did you think it was ok to use her to forget Sophia? To make the pain more bearable?” I angrily ask myself.
“Zayn?” I see her shadow moving around and I remain silent. I don’t hear anything and after 5 minutes, I know she’s gone. I take out my phone and look at the picture of Sophia and me at our place. I grab my necklace, “Come back to me Sophia, I need you.”
