The Notebook- Chapter 40
Sophia’s POV
I got to my- Zayn’s room and start packing my things. I feel like I’ve been thrust into the twilight zone, nothing seems real, everything seems twisted and wrong; lifeless. I take Ryan’s picture in my hands and bile rises in my throat. “Hello.”
I drop the picture and glass shatters everywhere. “Fuck.” I drop on my knees and attempt to pick up all the pieces as I really could, “Fuck.”
“I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.”
“It’s ok.” I cut my finger while picking up the glass.
“Here let me help you with that.” He barely makes contact with me and I flinch away as if he burned me, “I’m just trying to help.”
“Who are you?”
“Sorry, I’m Josh, I came here looking for Zayn.”
“He’s not here.” is all I can say.
“Yea, I can see that.” he looks at my cut and the blood oozing out of it, “You really need to help you with that. Where’s your first aid stuff?”
I point at the counter and he grabs it, “I can do it myself,” I tell him.
“I’d rather you not, it’s no problem. It is kinda my fault you’re like this.”
I look away while he cleans it and bandages it up, “Thank you,” I mutter. I get up and grab my things, “Please when you see Zayn, can you give him this for me?” I hand him a note.
“Wait, you’re Sophia.”
I try denying it but he doesn’t believe me, “Yea but please don’t tell Zayn anything…I need to leave, I need to get out of here.”
He steps in front of me and softly takes grabs my arms, “Wait, what’s going on?”
I look up at him, rage shooting from my eyes, “Look, I don’t have to explain anything to you.” I try to walk past him but he continues to block me, “What do you want?”
“You don’t look well. I swear, you could faint at any moment.” he tells me.
This only further annoys me, “Well if I faint or anything happens to me then that’s my problem now isn’t it Josh.”
“I’m not letting you go out like that, especially if you’re running away.”
“I’m not…running away- I don’t have to explain myself to you.” I shove him slightly and walk out the door. I continue walking and absentmindedly make my way the cemetery. I walk in and see some people there and then I see Ryan’s tombstone. I kneel in front of it and run my fingers through it, tracing the words, “Hi Ry…that rhymes.” I smile to myself, “So…fuck this Ryan. I hate myself so much right now, I am the one that should be dead, not you.” I hug my legs and rest my head on my knees, “I miss you so much.” I mumble into my knees. “I can’t…I promised Perrie I wouldn’t do anything…but I feel like I’m betraying you. No, I know I am betraying you.”
“Promise me one thing Sophia.”
“Anything Ry.”
“Promise me you won’t let anyone or anything keep you both apart.”
I close my eyes and bury my face, “I failed you in everything Ryan. What am I doing here? What is my purpose in this world if all I do is fail and hurt people?” I stay there crying for another 30 minutes before getting up, “I’m leaving Ryan. But I’m not going back to America, I don’t really know where I’m going.” I grab a rose from the bouquet on the side, “I love you.” I kiss it and put it in front of his tombstone, “If I ever come back…” I stop myself because I know I will never come back. I grab my things and start walking out but a wave of dizziness washes over me. I stumble back a little and I mentally prepare myself to fall on the ground but instead I fall into someone’s arms. I open my eyes to see who it is, “Josh?”
He smiles, “Yea.”
I try to stand up but I feel lightheaded and support myself on him, “I’m sorry, I don’t know what- wait, what the hell are you doing here?”
“Well…I kind of, um, followed you here.”
I look at him, “Why?”
“You looked really sick and pale, I thought that- I’m sorry I don’t mean to come off as creepy but-”
“No, it’s ok, I’m sorry for acting like such a bitch back there. I just don’t want to-” I take a deep breath, “You’re right, I am trying to run away. I’m trying to escape all this, everything. I don’t want you to tell Zayn, please promise me you won’t.”
He hesitates but he gestures yes, “But-”
“No, no questions right now.” I grip his arm, “I need to go already.”
Josh’s POV
“Go where though?” I ask as her grip tightens on my arm, “Sophia, are you ok?”
“Fine, I think I just need some water.”
I look in her bag, “You don’t have any,” I look at her again and she looks worse than before, “I think you should go to the hospital-” before I can say more she faints in my arms, “Sophia?” I lightly shake her, “Damn.” I pick her up, grab her things and take her to my car. I drive quickly to the hospital and when we get there they take her on a stretcher. “What do I do now?” I take out my phone and my first instinct is to call Zayn but I don’t want to make things worse for Sophia so I take a seat and wait for the doctors to come out. I wait for what seems like 3 hours until I see the doctor that took Sophia, “Excuse me. How is Sophia?”
“Are you the one that brought her in?” he asks. I nod quickly, “Miss Del Rio is stable, she’s not been taking care of herself properly these last few weeks. She just needs to rest and they’ll be fine. She can leave tonight if she wishes to.”
I let out a sigh of relief, “That’s great doctor thank- wait, they?”
“Yes, Miss Del Rio is pregnant, congratulations.”
