Moments

Coming Back.

Mindy:

I needed to go to the doctor's for a regular check up. I'm quite surprised that I haven't gone to a therapist.

"Ms. Mindy. Dr. Edmon is ready to see you." The nurse called out. 

"Okay." I followed her to the room.

It was small and blue. There was all sorts of gadgets for the doctor all around the room. 

I did the regular routine with the nurse. Check my weight, answer some questions, and wait.

"Okay, the doctor will be here shortly." 

"Alright." I sat there quietly, dangling my feet off the chair. 

"Hello, Mindy!" 

"Hi, Edmon." I smiled. 

"How are you feeling?" 

"Fine, I could be better though. Ya know?" 

"Yes. So, have you told him yet? Or anyone?" He knew about Zayn cause he's one of my very good friends. 

"No." I barely made it out. 

"Call him up and tell him to come here." I was shocked. 

"We- I- Why can't I tell him later?" 

"Cause you need someone to take care of you and look after you." He was right. 

"Fine." I took out my phone. 5:30 PM. 

I dialed his number. It rang 3 times and there he was.  

"Hello?" 

"Hey, Zayn." 

"Oh, Mindy! How are you?" 

"I'm fine. I have a question." 

"Yes?" 

"I need you to come down to Edmon's office." 

"Now?" 

"Please." 

"Uh, yeah. Yeah, I'll be there in 15 minutes. Are you okay?" 

"Yeah! I'm fine, but could you please hurry?" 

"Yeah. I'm on my way." The phone call ended. 

"So, am I going to tell him or you?" Edmon asked me. 

"Could you tell him, please?" 

"Of course, Love."

We both waited for Zayn's arrival. Though 15 was not a very long time, it seemed to be hours for me. There was a knock on the door and he stepped in.

"Mindy, what's going on?"  

"Well, Zayn-" 

"I asked her!" Zayn's face tensed up. 

"Let him talk, Zayn." His breathing gradually went back to an even pace. 

"She's been taking these antidepressants for a while now. I told her that I need someone to watch over her and take care of her. So that's why she has called you here." Edmon spoke. 

"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" Zayn held my hands in his. 

"Because I didn't want you to worry about me." I felt a tear stream down my face. 

"Don't cry, baby. It's okay." He kissed my temple. 

"Are you living alone, Mindy?" 

"No, I'm staying with a friend actually."  

"Move back in with me. Please." The look in Zayn's eyes were sad. 

"I-I don't know. What am I supposed to say to Miranda and Niall?" 

"Don't lie to them. They all know that we still love each other. Right?" 

"Yeah." 

"Just say that we decided to be roommates again." He smiled. 

"Okay." He wiped my tears away. 

"Well, I'll see you both next time. Okay?" 

"Yes." Zayn answered for me.

We both headed out. He got into his car and I headed to mine. It was already 7 PM when I arrived at Miranda and Niall's flat. I told them and they were at first worried about my condition, but they understood. I grabbed my things and headed to Zayn's. I still had a key to the flat. As I entered, Zayn was already waiting for me. We both stared at each other intensely. His arms wrapped around me with a heart warming hug. I inhaled his scent. I missed his hugs. I missed him.

"I missed you, Mindy." 

"I missed you too, Zayn." 

"Here let's get you settled in."

We went outside to my car and carried my things in. We both decided that we would share the same bed, though it would mean nothing. We weren't back together. I still needed to recover from all of it.

As we both laid on the bed cuddled together, there was a knock on the door.

"Shit." Zayn muttered under his breath. 

"What?" 

"Um, Stacy planned that me and her go out clubbing tonight. I forgot." 

"Go." 

"But-" 

"Zayn, it's okay. I won't die or anything." I giggled. 

"Fine." He huffed. "Can you let her in?" 

"Yeah!" I walked to the front and opened the door. 

"Hey, Stacy!" I tried to seem welcoming. 

"Oh, hey. What are you doing here?"  

"I moved back in. You look nice." She had an extremely tight dress on that made her chest pop out. 

"So you two are back together?" 

"No. I just needed a place to stay. That's all." 

"I see. Well, it's nice seeing you again." 

"Yeah, same here." I smiled.

Zayn came out and gave me a hug good bye. I closed the door, but there was a knock right after. He came back in and held me. I was stunned. He kissed me on the cheek and smiled. I could feel Stacy's eyes linger over us.

"Good bye, Zayn. Have fun." I smiled. 

"Okay. I'll come home soon." He kissed my forehead and left.

I sighed as I closed the door once more. Home. Memories started flooding my mind. Some made me cry. Some made me laugh and smile. I was just happy to be back.
