Lifesaver (A Zarry fanfic)

32. Goodbyes

Jessie's POV

The hardest part of moving in with Zayn, is moving away from all my friends and family. Everyone who has shaped me for the last five months into someone much more confident and defensive than before.

"Almost done.." Jane sing songed, opening the last drawer of my clothes. I sniffled as I folded up one of my dresses. "Aw, honey!" She rushed over and pulled me into a hug. "We're only an hour away."

"It's just I won't be able to see you guys as often. Especially now since Pudding is coming. I just like walking down the street to see you guys!"

"We'll for sure as hell be there for Pudding's arrival. At least I wouldn't miss it."

"Thank you. I really do love and appreciate all you've done for me. I couldn't have asked for a better family."

"I wouldn't have let any other girl in my house, let alone Harry's room." I giggled. "You know, I really thought you guys were going to end up together."

"Things don't always go as planned." I patted my belly, shrugging.

"Yeah. Your mum and Payton came over yesterday."

"Why?"

"Well let's just say, they're both very desperate for Harry's love."

"Oh gosh." I groaned, closing up my suitcase. "What happened?"

"Well Harry and Cynthia were playing outside with Bonnie when they came over. Payton was having a huge fit and started crying hysterically when she saw Cynthia was here. Your mum started yelling at mine at how Payton should be with Harry and not 'some energetic bimbo'."

"That's terrible!"

"I know. And I was really going to avoid telling you this, but then she blamed my mum for you getting pregnant." My throat clogged up and my chest tightened. She really hated me, didn't she?

"Oh.."

"Harry heard and started yelling at your mum, defending you. Cynthia and Payton nearly started fighting, almost kissed Harry, and your mum really got to Cynthia. She ran out crying. Harry's been trying desperately to contact her." I frowned and sat down on his bed.

"I would say I'm surprised that they both did that, but I'm not. They can be cruel sometimes, and I'm not afraid to admit that. They're my blood but they're definitely not my family."

"Don't say that.."

"Family are the people who support you and care for you! The people who-who accept you for you and love you no matter what! My father is my family. Those two girls are not."

"Jess-"

"I'll talk to Cynthia. I have to go say goodbye to Harry." I sighed. "Then, I'm going to yell at Payton and Nora."

"Okay."

"Thank you for telling me, Jane." She nods and hugs me tight.

"I'll bring your things down." I nod this time and rush out the room. There was a loud grunt that came from the backyard. Harry was laying in the grass, football in his chest.

"Harry?" His head jolted upward as I sat beside his body. "Haven't seen you with this is in a while." I chuckled, pulling the ball into my crossed legs. Harry sat up and shrugged.

"You packed yet?"

"Just finished. I thought I could just come talk to you before I leave." He nodded and looked down at the ball. "In five more months, this will be the size of my belly." I giggled, a laugh being forced from his body.
