Chapter 8:

Just two hours later, I woke up and realized I had school. I decided I would be late for school, I just didn't want to face Zayn. He didn't answer my call, even though it was five am, I'm his girlfriend, and I should come first. I put him first, so why doesn't he put me first?

I thought it was odd that Niall picked up my call, but Zayn didn't. I was really hoping that Zayn would've been the one to answer it. Of course, he needs his "beauty sleep" and there's nothing I can do to wake him up. I was definitely going to talk to him.

I got dressed and went into the bathroom to wash my face. I stayed in the bathroom by the sink for a while, thinking about Zayn. Why would he not answer my call? Was he just sleeping or did he wake up and ignore it? I wished I knew, and I was determined to find out.

I grabbed my things, got a to-go breakfast, and headed off to school. I put my breakfast in my backpack, so I wouldn't drop it on my motorcycle. The wind was overwhelming and I just wanted to shut it out.

The minute I got to school I took out my breakfast bag and started to eat it.

"Miss Brooks!! What are you doing with that bag of food?!?!" I turned and I saw my history teacher, Mr. Newman. I sighed.

"I'm breeding snails." I said sarcastically. Mr. Newman crossed his arms. I laughed.

"Very funny miss Brooks. Now hand over the bag!"

"So you can be a weirdo and watch snails breed?" I kept up the sarcasm while he took the bag away from me.

"Saturday and Sunday detention for mouthing off!" I rolled my eyes.

"Sure I'll go." I said sarcastically. He just rolled his eyes and walked off with my breakfast. I sighed and turned. Once I started walking I crashed into someone and fell down.

"Watch it you loser!!" I looked up. I groaned. "You." He looked at me confused. I rolled my eyes and got up.

"Sense when am I a loser?" He asked.

"Sense this morning." I shoved him away and kept on walking.

"Ember! Stop!!" He ran up to me and grabbed my arm. I turned around and yanked my arm away.

"Stop what. Walking? Breathing? Living?" I questioned.

"Ember! Why would you think I would want you to stop living or breathing? I love you and you know that!" I groaned and rolled my eyes.

"Remember when I called you at five?" He nodded. "Well there was a huge reason!! Even if it wasn't, I would pick up your phone call if you called at five!!" He put his hands up in surrender, and I started walking until he said, "What was the reason?"

"I dreamed that I died, Zayn!" he stood there frozen and I gave him a disgusted look. He came up to me and put his hands on my shoulders. I put my head down and felt a tear stream down.

"I'm so sorry I didn't pick up, Ember. My phone died and I lost the charger. I would've picked up, but I couldn't. I'm so sorry." I looked up and gave him a half-hearted smile. He embraced me in a hug and I hugged him back. I kept crying and the tears fogged up my vision. The littlest thing I could see was Niall looking terribly sad behind Zayn.

I let go of Zayn and he wiped the tears from my eyes. I smiled, and sighed. When I saw Niall's face, I became sad, as well. I had something I needed to do.
