(Taylor's POV)

I feel so numb, yet awake at the same time. I can hear faint cries around me. Someone is holding me in their arms while someone else is holding my hand.

I try to move, but I can't. The cries get louder and I realize that its Zayn screaming for me to wake up. He cries harshly and I can feel his body shaking violently.

After a while he whispers that I will wake up because I promised. The numbness I once felt went away and I try to move but still can't. Then I feel a warm liquid leave my nose.

"Zayn...." I hear a deep voice say. "What?" It's Josh, he's here too. Then I hear a slight gasp and then silence. I feel Zayn's cold thumb swipe it away but it keeps coming.

He cries lightly again as he tries to wipe away the blood. "No, no....come on, no t-this isn't happening!" Then my eyes open quickly and I gasp for air.

Zayn gasps in shock, Josh sits in complete shock. I look around seeing the bright meadow I was in. Then I snap my gaze to Josh. "J-Josh?" He nods as tears fall. I hug him tightly and cry gently.

"You're here!" He nods and pats my back. "I'm glad you're okay." I nod and smile gently. I turn to Zayn to see his red face stained with tear that are still flowing and his body shakes.

I wrap my arms around him tighter than ever and I cry into his shoulder. He burrows his face deep in my neck and cries. I rock us back and forth. "Zayn I'm so sorry...I-I didn't mean-"

He cuts me off by pressing his lips to mine. We kiss furiously as our tears mix together. He pulls away slowly and pecks all over my face.

"You don't need to apologize Taylor....I thought I lost you!, it's not your fault but all I know....is that I never want to feel the way I felt looking at your lifeless body."

I nod and smile gently. "I love you more than words can say." He kisses me once more and then says, "I could never imagine not loving you...it would be foreign to me. I love you too...so much."

We pull Josh into a hug as well and we just take a minute to embrace. I almost died....never again to see my husband, my child, or my friends...my mom...they are my family...

I pull away and ask Zayn, "where's Olivia?" He looks at me and then Josh. "She is at his house with Kaylin who's is most likely a mess." I frown and say, "we have to go see them!"

He nods and Josh stands up. "I will go get the car." He walks away leaving Zayn and I. Zayn turns to me and picks me up in his arms. I wrap mine around his neck as he stares up at me. "I never want to feel that way again."

I frown and rub his face. "I never want you to feel like that again either." He sets me down and kisses me again this time just a lingering one. Assuring himself that I'm still there. He rubs my face and pulls me into him and just holds me.

"Did it work?" I shrug and say, "I don't know." He pulls away gently and says, "why don't you try?" I nod and he says, "try it on me." I shake my head about to protest and he sighs.

"Tay...I will be okay, promise." I nod gently and sigh. I walk up to him and press my hand to his cheek. "I want to try something new." He nods and stares into my eyes.

I press my lips to his and hold the back of his neck in one hand and the other rests on his cheek. I tilt my head and think of Olivia. Putting little clips of Olivia and I in Zayn's head.

I feel him smile through the kiss and I pull away a little. "It worked." We both mumble. I smile wide and so does Zayn. He spins me around. "You have them!" I nod happily and laugh.
