THANK YOU.    

"Why do bad things happen to good people? We ask that question too often it becomes a cliché."

I ran back to my hotel, processing what just happened. My father didn't really have any health problems, like ever. So I guess it's not that. I think I may know already what this is about, but just to make sure, and not risk anything, I will go back home just for a few days and I'll be back in no time.

"Sky!" I shriek, opening the door. "Yes?" She asks confused, Harry is nowhere to be seen. Thank God. "I have to go home, I'll book a ticket and I'll be back in no time." I say really quick, out of breath. "Okay baby, but is everything okay? What is this about?" ,"My parents, it's about my dad." I'm trying not to panic about this, after all these are my parents and I love them no matter what.

"Did he cheat on her?" She asks all of a sudden.

I'm a little taken aback, but she knows everything and I don't have a problem with that. "Yeah, I think so. The last time he cheated was on my birthday, and after that I don't know for sure.", she closes the space between us and wraps her arms around me,  holding me tight. I return the hug istantlly.

I pulled back and grabbed a smaller bag, I don't wanna take my whole luggage with me. After my quick packing I ran to the reception to ask them for a flight, last minute.

"Excuse me, can you book me the first flight that goes to Melbourne, today?" I asked, tapping my fingers, nervously on the reception desk.

"Okay miss, let me check." A tall blonde middle aged woman said, turning her head down to her computer, checking the flight. She typed something and then looked at me.

"Your flight is leaving in three hours, miss." She smiles politely. "I booked you a one last-minute ticket."

"Thank you very much." I gave her my credit card and when she was done I ran back to my room. As I was on my way I stumbled into someone. Hard. "Sorry, I wasn't looking." I say out of my breath and look up, just to see a pair of hazel eyes looking directly down at me. I shivered. Why does he have this effect on me?!

"Oh." Is all I managed to say.

"Whats the rush, beautiful?" Zayn asked, a cocky smirk on his face.

"I'm not in the mood Zayn, I have to go." I pass him and enter my room.

•Zayn's POV•

She just walks away and I sant there confused, what just happened?
I walk by the reception but a blonde woman stops me.
"Sorry!" She yells. I turn around and look at her questionably.

"Can you give this to your friend, she forgot it here. Thank you." She said, giving me a plane ticket. What the fûck? She's going to Melbourne?! And it's a last minute ticket, it must an emergency or something.

I quickly take the ticket and go to her room, in a rush. I knock on the door repeatedly like a maniac. After a few seconds she opens them looking at me like she didn't expect me in a million years.

"W-what are you doing here?" She asks, confused apparently.

I step inside and lift the ticket up in my hand, looking at her and waiting her to explain herself.
She sighs and takes the ticket.

"I have go home, just for a short time, I'll be back. " She said. I don't believe her.

"Why are you going home Charlotte?" I ask her, clearly irritated by this. I don't like secrets even though I have a lot, but still. She has to tell me. I'm not letting this slip.

"I have some family p-problems." She stutters and sits on the bed, looking at her hands.

Family problems? Is she telling the truth? Fûcking yes Zayn, it's about her family, don't push her. A voice in my head alerts me.

"Why are you going alone?" I ask her, confused, why didn't she take Sky with her? Aren't they best girlfriends?

"I don't want to bug anyone, we're on a vacation Zayn!" She raises her voice. "I don't wanna be the party pooper and I'm just gonna go alone, now please leave so I can check if I packed everything and prepare myself for the-" she stops in mid sentence, throwing her hands in the air, frustrated.

"For what?" I ask,wanting her to finish.

"For the worst." She mumbles and opens the door for me. I still stand there looking at her, is it that bad? I ask myself, not wanting her answer.

"Please." She mumbles again and points me to the door.

I just look at her with soft eyes, and before I stepped out, I caressed her cheek gently so she can relax. She closes her eyes, enjoying my touch.
I walked out, not saying anything.

Charlotte's POV

My cheek still burns from his touch, turning into a light shade of pink.
Am I blushing? Jeez.

I quickly pull myself out of my thoughts and close the door behind me, dragging my bag with me, the ticket and my phone in my hands.

Sky was nowhere to be seen, but we already said goodbye si it's okay. I push the buttons on the elevator, waiting for it. My leg tapping impatiently.

My phone rings again and I panic.

"Hello?" I say through the phone.

"Hi baby, where are you?" My mums said voice beams.

"I'm heading to the airport." I say, emotionless.

"Okay honey, I love you." She says.

"Love you too." I answer and hung up.

Where is that fûcking elevator?!

Zayn's POV

After changing my clothes I grabbed my bag and went down the reception in a hurry. Hoping she's not gone yet.

Exactly where I thought she was, at the reception desk. Waiting for the taxi I think. I quickly got to her and turned to the middle aged woman.
"What are you doing here Zayn?!" Charlotte asked me confused by my actions.

"Excuse me, I'll take one more ticket to Melbourne, the last minute one." I said calmly giving the lady my credit card. She was taken aback little but quickly recovered.

"What?!" Charlotte managed to say through her teeth.

I just looked at her smiling. I guess we're going together.
