(Taylor's POV)

I didn't sleep last night....at all. I was up all night being worried about Zayn. It's all my fault he left and I can admit that. It's killing me that I can't call or go see him.

One, because I said would give him space and two, because I don't know where he is. All he said when I asked him where he was going is. 'Out' he didn't tell me where or if he was coming back.

I cry to myself and think about calling Kaylin. She's my best friend and maybe she can make me feel better. I can call her because we were supposed to hang out anyways.

I reach over on my night stand and grab my phone. I quickly dial her number and try to make my voice sound less hoarse from crying all night.

(Start of call)
K: hiiiiiiii
T: hey...I was wondering-
K:woah...what happened?
T:what do you mean?
K:first of all it sounds like you've been crying, and second of all you never say I was wondering to me, you just demand it.
T: yeah, I just really need you right now.
K: of course I'll come pick you and Olivia up, is Zayn coming?
T:I'll see you soon
(End of call)

I sigh and wipe my eyes. I look over at the crib and see that Olivia is waking up. "Hey sweetie you were awfully tired." She opens her eyes and then yawns.

I walk over to the crib and lift her out of it. I hold her against my chest and run her back. "Lets get you in the tub." I grab her little monsters ink towel and a onsie.

I walk us into the bathroom and then set her down in the tub after I remove her pj's. I start the water and make sure it's warm enough but not too warm.

I set her little tub inside the bigger one and start to bathe her. After I bathe her I wrap her in her towel and then drain the water in the tub.

I stand up straight and then carry Olive to the bed. She squeals once I set her down. I smile a very tiny smile... So tiny it almost doesn't exist... I unwrap her from the towel and she shivers slightly.

"I know it's cold but I'll be quick." I put lotion on her and then I slip on her onsie that happens to say 'My daddy loves me'. I sigh and then wrap her in a blanket since it's still cold.

Just as I pick her up again the doorbell rings. The last time that happened my husband left me..... I sigh at my bitter thoughts and walk down stairs to open the door.

I open the door to reveal my best friend in a nice black and white pea coat. She has a nude scarf on and some tight blue jeans. She smiles gently at me and then frowns deeply.

"What happened?" I'm sure I look like shit I turn around and walk inside. She follows in after me closing the door. "Taylor." She calls after me.

I sigh and turn around. "Are you okay?" I nod my head and she tilts her head and I shake my head 'no' as my lips starts to quiver and I start to cry. Kaylin walks over to me and she hugs me gently.

I rest my head on her shoulder and sigh. "He left." Kaylin pull away from the hug and says "what?" I nod and look down. "Z-Zayn.....He left, last night."

Kaylin's eyes widen and she says "really?" I nod again and then set Olivia down in her baby swing. I put the setting on slow and buckle her in. I look back up at Kaylin and she has a frown on her face.

"Do you want some coffee?, or cocoa?" She shakes her head and I say "Kay....I know you want some cocoa." She breaks a smile and says "okay but I'm making it and you're gonna tell me what happened while I do so."

I nod and grab Olivia's baby swing and carry it with us into the kitchen so I can keep an eye on her. I sit down at the counter and set Olivia next to me on the ground in her swing.
