October 19th
56 days before Anna's death
Today was the day everyone was heading to Australia, for a two week vacation/ 'I missed you, you missed me' reunion. Zayn and Anna were at the airport, patiently waiting to board the plane and prepare for a long flight to the beautiful place. Anna had received a call from Harry that morning, asking of there whereabouts and catching up on what was going on. Anna was so happy when she heard his deep husky voice talk into the phone. She had missed hearing it so much. Only a few more hours till she could hear it in person and not over the phone.
"We should be boarding in about 10 minutes" Zayn informed his anxious girlfriend, who seemed a bit off.
"Cool" Anna replied, trying not to give away the fact she might have a seizure.
"Is everything alright? Are you alright?" Zayn questioned her.
Instead of speaking, she just nodded, not trusting her own voice at the moment. Anna was hoping she could prevent this seizure from happening but it wasn't looking so good. Zayn had scooted closer and was closely inspecting her, trying to figure out what was wrong. He was unsure of what was wrong, but he knew something was wrong.
"Anna what's going on? Don't lie to me, are you alright?" Zayn pestered her, more stern than before.
She finally shook her head 'no', Zayn reacting quickly by putting his arms around her. He thought this would help, but untimely it wouldn't. Anna's body went limp and began t0 move without her control. Zayn couldn't keep his grip on her, and soon enough he released her as she fell to the floor. Others gasped at the sight of the girl on the ground. Zayn rushed to her side and moved what was near her away. People began to wander over and inspect the situation. Zayn only pushed them back, saying she needed the space. Zayn did his best to control the situation till it finally ended. Medics had shown up, a crowd gathering around them now. They pushed everyone back, checking to make sure Anna was not injured. She had been through this many times before, she knew she was fine, but they didn't know that. Zayn got them to leave and they took a seat back on the uncomfortable chairs as they waited to be boarded.
People stared at Anna from everywhere. Anna didn't mind it, but eventually she had enough of it. She stood from her seat, grabbing her carry on and walking to the door, connecting to the plane. The overcom finally announced the boarding for their flight. Zayn and Anna were the first ones on. Flying first class, they made their way to their seats. Anna emitted a heavy sigh as she was seated, Zayn taking notice and comforting his girlfriend.
"It could have been worse, ya know?" Zayn mused, trying to get a laugh out of the tired looking girl.
"How? Care to elaborate on how it could have been worse!? Everyone was staring at me like I was some sort of freak! I'm not a freak!" she cried, tears beginning to pour down her cheeks. Zayn took her hand and rubbed his thumb over the back of her hand. This seemed to calm to stressed girl.
"You're right, you're not a freak. You're a beautiful, spectacular, wonderful girl, that stole my heart. But if you're a freak, then I'm a freak" Zayn said, hoping that would help Anna.
"We be freaks together"
~Later on that day~
Zayn and Anna had a fun filled flight, at least, that's how they would describe it as. They had chatted amongst themselves about anything and everything. They spent most of the flight talking and the other half being all coupley. They didn't mind if people asked for a photo or asked Zayn to sign something. It's not every day you look over and seen Zayn Malik. Once their flight landed, they gathered their carry-ons and exited the plane. Once through the doors they felt the nice breeze and the steamy air. This is one thing Anna was looking forward to, the wonderful weather they had. In England, it was cold, a lot. Cold, rainy, snowing, crappy weather. But here it was like summer all year round. Anna and Zayn linked their hands together as they walked together to gather their luggage. Zayn's phone began to ring, it was Harry calling him. Zayn informed Anna he had to take it and asked her to grab his suitcase. Being the loyal girlfriend she was, she obeyed his commands and walked by herself to get their luggage.
Of course if you date someone as famous as Zayn, you get noticed by the fans. They know everything about you, and they know when to spot you. A bit of a downside to being linked with Zayn. But Anna didn't mind it. She loved their fans, most of them. They were sweet and said kind words to her. They would go on about how cute they were together and how much they supported the couple. Those were the things that made Anna's heart melt. Then you had the fans who were down right cruel. Calling her names, speaking obscenities to her, everything. They would send death threats, bully her, harass her, anything they could set their mind to. They had some devious fans, and those were the ones Anna desperately hated, with a burning passion.
There stood a crowd of girls, holding cameras and other items. Anna guessed they came here to see Zayn and her. More Zayn than Anna though. As Anna approached the baggage claim, Anna could over hear them girls.
"Do you see him?" "Maybe they haven't landed yet?" "Maybe their flight was delayed?" "Do you think they are going to make out?" "What do you think they're wearing?" "OMG they are just too cute!" "I heard Anna had a seizure before they boarded?" "I heard people stared at her like she was a freak?"
Anna tried to inch closer without revealing who she was. Eavesdropping may be bad, but who cares right now. She turned her head to the side, seeing Zayn strolling over. She quickly put a finger up to her mouth, Zayn giving a confused look. Anna quickly walked to him and informed that the crowd of girls were there for him.
"Those girls are here for us, well you" Anna whispered, jutting her thumb behind at the group of girls.
"Ohh joy. Well let's try and be subtle" Zayn suggested, taking Anna's hand, walking back to the baggage claim.
They stood there, as casually as possible, as they waited for their luggage. Anna finally spotted it and walked to get it. They made haste to the exit, and managed to not get mobbed.
They hailed a taxi, throwing the luggage in the boot and climbing in. Zayn gave the man the address of the place they'd be staying for the next two weeks. Anna begged and pleaded Zayn to tell her where they were going, but he wouldn't budge. Even when she began to tease Zayn, which she knew would send him over the edge. Anna may not have been the one to be all up for sex, but the teasing part, she had fun with. She had a ball teasing Zayn, which led to "punishment" from Zayn, which Anna didn't mind much. Anna repeatedly removing Anna's hand from his thigh, Zayn decided to give her a hint.
"It's on a beach, which is private as well. It overlooks the ocean" Zayn sighed.
Anna was pleased and placed a small kiss upon Zayn's cheek. They spent the rest of the ride, hands intertwined, head resting on one shoulder, but no words spoken.
Zayn and Anna were most definitely, maybe, prepared for this vacation/reunion of sorts.
