WITHIN MINUTES OF MADISON coming out of the dark and posting on social media, headlines and news articles were being published with her name in the title.

"MADISON COWELL BREAKS HER SILENCE"

"CAN WE BE EXPECTING SOMETHING FROM MISS COWELL?"

"DAUGHTER OF SIMON COWELL AND FORMER WRITER OF ONE DIRECTION, MADISON COWELL, IS STARTING HER OWN SOLO CAREER?"

the brunette was sitting on her living room couch, sharing a glass of champagne with one of her close friends, taylor, when she hit post. "cheers to coming out of the shadows," taylor said, holding up her glass to madison.

"cheers to that," she replied, clinking their glasses together and taking a small sip of the bubbly drink.

"so, how's the album looking?" taylor asked after her own sip.

"it's.." she paused, "coming along." she replied, mumbling a short "sort of." before taking a long sip of champagne.

"mads.." taylor gave madison a look, saying 'come on.'

"i know, i know. i have written a couple things. it's just- hard." she self-defended while setting her glass on the coffee table in front of them.

since cutting her dad off and thus, losing all of the one direction members, madison had been in a writers drought. everything she wrote was bland and un-singable. usually, writing songs came easily for the dark haired girl. it was like over night, she lost her spark.

though, some would say she lost her muse.

while still speaking to the boys, nobody could get her to stop thinking of song lyrics. when they would come to her with things going on in their lives, her head was spinning with ways to turn it into music. when they agreed to, of course.

and even when she wasn't with them, she was writing about them. well, him. she always found herself drawn more to the seemingly quiet boy, zayn. but he was always cracking jokes with the group and creating fun times behind closed doors.

"mads?" taylor asked. madison was pulled from her thoughts and back to reality. "you okay? i lost you there for a sec."

"yeah, sorry. i was just thinking.."

taylor gave her best friend a sympathetic look, then placing a hand on her knee for comfort. "have you tried talking to him?"

madison tensed up. of course she hadn't tried talking to him. there's no way he wasn't completely upset with her. she left with no fair warning or anything. no calls, no texts, no goodbyes. it caused her to lose everything. zayn, the rest of the boys, her family, her first girl best friend.

"no, i'm not exactly sure he'd want to hear from me." she said, dropping her head, as if she was ashamed of herself. to tell the truth, madison was ashamed. ashamed that she couldn't have at least told him she was cutting contact.

a part of madison feels that zayn didn't deserve a warning. she had no obligation. after all, they were all only friends. maybe if her and zayn were together, it would've been different.

"i'm not pressuring you, or anything. but.. maybe it wouldn't hurt to try?" taylor suggested.

madison though to herself, going over all the possibilities. texting him first might not be the best idea, but maybe amelia? she and him left a little after mads.

"i think i might text amelia. it's been awfully long." madison nodded, convincing herself it was a good idea, and not a total embarrassment if she didn't answer. "but.. in the morning. it's probably late in the uk."

"i'm holding you accountable." taylor joked playfully before taking a sip of the drink in her hand.

the rest of the night slipped away like a nice bottle of wine, filled with laughter and jokes, and occasional 'remember when's.' madison always cherished her time with taylor. the blonde had a way with pulling her away from everything else in the world. like they were the only two that mattered.
