Zayn's Best Friend

19. The Time After

Three Months Later

Lilly's POV
I smiled at the cast and crew one more time before heading back to the flat, or apartment as Americans called it, that I shared with Lila. We had gotten to know each other over the past month and we know pretty much everything about each other. We're really alike. But get this, she and Liam are DATING! She and him have been Skyping just like me and Zayn. The producers, Lila, my dad, Uncle Simon, and I have decided on something big. Lila doesn't want to be in the spotlight, so no one knows I have a long lost twin. We went to a meeting earlier today and discussed me heading home early. We decided Lila will take over my role as Jo in Big Time Rush. Meanwhile, I will be working further on my career and help One Direction's. I already released one album and it exploded in America and parts of the UK. I am Co-manager, head stylists, head makeup artist, and babysitter for the boys, and when I go back, it's going to be amazing. Paul was my manager and Co-Manager of the boys, so it was pretty cool knowing their schedule and stuff. Also, Lulu is going to stay in the UK with me and live with me and the boys, and she is dating Harry Styles, he asked her out before I left, it was adorable!
Harry, Louis, Liam, and Niall knew I was coming, but Z didn't, so I surprised him. After the extensive flight, Harry went to pick me up and by time we got to the flat, the boys were all hugging Zayn, I heard him faintly say, "She always picks up, I hope she's okay." I smiled and the boys saw me and Zayn was sitting on the couch with his head in his hands. The lads moved away and smiled. Liam mouthed, "Glad your back." I smiled and then Zayn said, "I miss her so much, I miss her laugh, her smile, her eyes, her lips, everything, I miss everything about her."
I was on the verge of happy tears, I said, "I missed everything about you too my Bradford Bad Boi." He said, "Not funny guys..." He looked up and saw me, he tackled me with hugs and kisses, then the lads did a dog pile on me, the rest of the boys got off and Zayn kissed me passionately and I got dizzy. We got up and I explained Zayn everything and got him up to date while we all ate lunch.
They boy's single, What Makes You Beautiful was going though a process but was due to be released soon and the boys would have to go on a tour endorsing the song and soon the EP to be released. I smiled and when they played me and Lulu a the song, we melted, it was the best song ever! We watched movies the rest of the night. Louis decided to put on a really scary movie and I just put ear plugs on and snuggled into Zayn, he smiled kissed me lips and mouthed I love you and I smiled sleepily and fell asleep on him, but before I could, I saw Lulu fall asleep on Harry, cute! I felt happy to be back with the boys, it felt the right place to be. For a few years now, I've never felt at home, even when I was with Zayn and that is saying something. When I was with them in the X-Factor house I felt at home, I forgot all my problems and felt happy, more happy then the past few years. I smiled and fell asleep, but for some reason, I had a nightmare and I never get nightmares. It started with me and Zayn.
