Chapter 7- Stay the Night

"Lauren."

Holy shit.

"Lauren... S-she... Died?" Taylor asked in disbelief, she was starting to cry. Her ex best friend died? And she didn't know?

"You know her?" Zayn asked, finally looking at her.

Taylor looked down and shook her head, "N-no... I don't."

"I'm sorry you had to hear this." Zayn apologized and finally started driving the car.

"N-no... It's okay, I mean, you helped me, so this is nothing." She smiled, trying to hide her sadness in within.

Lauren died? She thought, fighting her tears.

She hated Lauren but Lauren still had her back before she stole her boyfriend. She missed her.

Taylor looked out of the window as the rain dropped and fell down on the window.

They both got out of the car after reaching their destination, the storm was getting worse than ever and Taylor and Zayn ran towards the hotel entrance door.

They got into the hotel lobby and fixed themselves a little and walked towards the receptionist.

"Welcome, Sir, may I help you?" The receptionist smiled at the good looking guy standing in front of her.

"Uh... Can we have two rooms please?" Zayn asked looking at her as Taylor tried to act casual.

"I'm sorry but we only have one room left."

"What?" Zayn shouted and Taylor could feel the awkwardness.

Zayn turned to Taylor and said, "We could look for another hotel but I don't think we can go out at this moment."

"Isn't anyone checking out now?" Taylor asked.

The receptionist almost laughed at her statement but stayed professional and said, "It's 4 am, Miss, I'm afraid not."

"Right." Taylor brushed her hair to the side in embarrassment.

"Would you still like to have the room, Sir?" The receptionist asked Zayn who was staring at the floor the whole time.

"Um... No thanks." Zayn exclaimed as they both walked out of the quiet hotel, back into the loud rain.

They ran back towards the car and immediately got in and their bodies were completely wet and they were shivering.

Zayn immediately started the car and turned up the heater as they finally warmed themselves.

Zayn took off his wet coat and threw it to the back seat as Taylor brushed her wet hair with her fingers letting out deep breaths.

"I'm sorry I don't have anything that could cover us up." Zayn apologized and Taylor smiled, "It's fine."

"We should've took the room, shouldn't we?" Zayn joked and they laughed.

Taylor adjusted herself a little in the uncomfortable seat of the car as Zayn rested his head on his hands.

"So are we staying in the car for the night then?" Taylor asked looking at Zayn, trying to keep it casual.

"Um... I think so." He said looking out of the window at the rainy street.

"Okay." Taylor whispered as she twisted and turned, trying to find the most comfortable position to be in the shot gun seat.
