Chapter Nineteen

(Stay) Chapter Nineteen -

Zayn's POV

"Don't try to make me stay

Or ask if I'm okay

I don't have the answer

Don't make me stay the night

Or ask if I'm alright

I don't have the answer.

Heartache doesn't last forever

I'll say I'm fine

Midnight ain't no time for laughing

When you say goodbye.

It makes your lips so kissable

And your kiss unmissable

Your fingertips so touchable

And your eyes irresistible.

I've tried to ask myself

Should I see someone else?

I wish I knew the answer.

But I know, if I go now, if I leave

Then I'm on my own tonight

I'll never know the answer.

Midnight doesn't last forever

Dark turns to light

Heartache flips my world around

I'm falling down, down, down,

That's why.

I find your lips so kissable

And your kiss unmissable

Your fingertips so touchable

And your eyes irresistible

Irresistible

Irresistible

Irresistible

Irresistible

Irresistible

Irresistible

Irresistible

It's in your lips and in your kiss

It's in your touch and your fingertips

And it's in all the things and other things

That make you who you are and your eyes irresistible.

It makes your lips so kissable

And your kiss unmissable

Your fingertips so touchable

And your eyes, your eyes, your eyes,

Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes

Irresistible." The song ends and quickly make my way off the stage.

I hate how everything reminds me of her...

Her..

Elena...why hasn't she answered any of my texts or call? Is she ignoring me? She has to be ignoring me...

Why am I suck a fuck up? I find the nearest thing to throw but before I can Liam grabs my wrist to stop me.

His grip on wrists is so tight that I drop the object to the floor.

He doesn't say anything...he only gives me a sympathetic look. I'm tire of people looking at me like that. I'm fine...I can't continue to lie to myself.

I'm not strong anymore...I can't be strong anymore.

I bite my lip to prevent the tears that are threatening to spill. I must look like a complete bitch. But this is Liam...Liam would never judge me for anything, even when I'm wrong.

I can't hold it in any longer, I feel the hot tears on my cheek and Liam pulls me to him.

I cry into his shoulder...he doesn't really say anything, he would just say some muffled "it's okay" and "everything will be alright"

I pull away from him and rush to the bus hoping no one saw me and realized I was crying...

Once I get to the bus I lock myself in the bathroom.

I check my phone...0 messages. Of course.

Should I text her? Maybe she didn't get my other messages? What if she did but she just didn't respond? I want to contact her so badly but I don't want to feel as if I'm annoying her...

Then it really hit me..it's her birthday, she is probably out and not checking her messages. That has to be it.

*Happy Birthday, Elena. Have a lovely night. Zayn xx* I send and make my way out of the bathroom and to the bunk. My phone hasn't gotten any messages just one from my mum saying goodnight and that she misses me...I turn my phone off and curl up into the blankets.

Why is this happening to me...? Why do I have to feel this way? I feel the tears coming down but I don't make any noise.

Soon sleep takes over and all I dream about his her lips, her kiss, and her eyes...

Elena's POV

"I'll be home late tonight, the girls and I are going out for my birthday." I tell Calum through the phone.

"Oh...It's your birthday?" His voice sounds kind of disappointed? Maybe surprised in a way?

"Yeah. I even forgot." I chuckled.

"I can't believe I could forget something like that...I'm sorry, Elena. I'll make it up to you I promise." He tells me.

"I'll take you out to dinner and a movie tomorrow? All three of us?" He offers and I smile at the thought of having a sort of "family night" it makes my heart flutter.

"That sounds amazing." I tell him and I can practically see the grin plastered on his features.

"Lizzie, say Happy Birthday to mommy." I hear Calum's muffled voice say.

"Happy Birthday, Mommy!" Elizabeth's voice cheers. A massive grin grows on my face at the sound of her voice.

"Thank you, my Lizze! I miss you." I say into the speaker.

"I miss you too, mommy." Her small voice says.

"I'll see you later okay? I love you." I tell her.

"Okay, mommy. Love you too." Her voice sounds tired and I realize it's already almost 10.

"Alright well I'm driving so I'll see you later on, okay? Be careful. I love you." Calum says into the phone. Butterfly's erupt in my stomach.

"I love you." I say and an instant smile spreads across my face.

"Happy birthday." He says once again before he hangs up.

My friends chorus and "aw" which causes me to blush even deeper.

"Shut up." I laugh and push on Jessica's arm and they all join in on my laughter.

Oh how I've missed these girls.
