The Letter (Zayn Malik Fanfiction) [2013 Watty Awards]

Chapter 42

Beverly's POV

Once we got to the hotel room, Louis and Liam put Beth and Benard in their cots provided by the hotel. Ella brust through the door smiling. I put Brandon on the couch. I hugged Ella and she hugged me back smiling. She pulled away and saw my younger siblings. "You're taking care of them?" Ella asked and I nodded.

"Who's that?" she asked pointing to Benard. "Mum found him in front of her hotel room door after she went looking Brandon. His name is Benard. He has pure violet eyes. Will be a heartbreaker," I said and she nodded. "Who's up for lunch?" she asked and everyone agreed. Ella went to the kitchen and took out ingredients from her bag. "Baking?" I asked as I entered the kitchen and she nodded. "Let's make Brandon smile," she said smiling and I smiled back.

~After 2 hours~

The boys were complaining that they were hungry and I smacked them whenever they tried to come near the kitchen. We were done and I called the boys in. They ran in the kitchen smiling, seeing the food. I got a chocolate chip and gave it to Brandon who smiled. "Thanks sissy!" he exclaimed happily and sat on a chair. I smiled as I took a portion of Mac & Cheese and Zayn pulled me onto his lap.

I took out my phone and ear piece. I plugged in the ear piece and I grabbed one ear bud while Zayn took the other. I played music and I Feel Like Dancing by All Time Low came on. My phone vibrated as I was reading. I narrowed my eyes as it was a message from Ella.

From: Ella <3

I'm leaving tomorrow.. I got accepted into School of the Arts in Singapore.. Sorry babe.. PLEASE don't tell the boys about it.. I'll tell them myself. Not now, not tomorrow but soon. I'll miss you Bevy :(

My eyes widen as I read the message and I chewed on my bottom lip as I replied Ella.

To: Ella <3

El.. I'll miss you too Elly :( is that why you didn't take the tour bus?

From: Ella <3

Yeah.. I was scared that I would spill it out while being with you guys..

To: Ella <3

Just know this El, I love you and I'll always remember you. No matter what happens :)

From: Ella <3

I love you too Bevy <3

I continued to read as I shot a small smile to Ella which returned. I ate finish my lunch as Zayn finished his too. "Sissy?" Brandon said quietly and I looked up at him. "Yes Brandon?" I asked sweetly. "Can we go out?" he asked smiling. "Sure! Where?" I said as I got off Zayn's lap. "Er music store? I wanna play the piano," he said and I nodded.

I carried Brandon off his chair telling him to prepare as I washed the plates. I quickly washed them and Liam approached me. "Bev? Can we follow you guys? I'll take care of Beth, the others can take care of Benard..." he said trailing off. "Sure I guess. Beth loves music too," I said and he smiled before telling the other boys about it.

"El, are you going?" I asked knowing she was still in the kitchen. "Nope. I need to prepare for tomorrow," she said softly and I nodded as I finished washing the plates. I dried my hands and I hugged Ella tightly. "I'll miss you Elly. Promise me to never forget me?" I said, feeling tears threatening to come out of my eyes. "Yes I will Bevy. I will never anything we've been through," she said and I heard some sobbing from her.

I pulled away and wiped away Ella's tear stains. "I gotta go now. See you soon Elly," I whispered and she nodded as I walked out of the kitchen. I went into my room and quickly changed into the camera tee I wore to the boys' concert and a pair of shorts. I walked out of the room to see Brandon carrying his bag with the same outfit I gave him on the tour bus. I grabbed a sling bag and put whatever needed inside my sling bag while waiting for the boys. I prepared bags for the Beth and Benard. I need to buy clothes for Benard.
