Zayn's P.O.V
-One week earlier-
It was a lazy saturday night, so me and the lads well everyone expect Harry because he was to busy with Caroline, were crashed at Lou and Harry's place, we were watching Toy Story 3 again (I can thank Liam for that) and eating everything and anything out of Harry and Lou's fridge when my phone started ringing. I looked at the caller I.D and saw that it was Tahulah, god how I missed her she was my best friend though thick and thin, just seeing her caller picture on my phone was enough to bring a smile to my face.
'What are you so happy about?' Lou asked curiously, before snatching my phone out of my hand.
'Ooooooo whose Tahulah? Your secret girlfriend.' Lou wicked at me while keeping my phone out of my reach.
'Yeah whose Tahulah?' Niall asked taking the phone from Louis's hand .
'Guys give it back, it's probably important!' I start to get annoyed because she lives all the way in Australia and we always skype but she only ever calls if it's important.
'Wow she's hot!' Niall says and she stares intently at her picture on the screen. I walked over to Niall and take my phone from him and push him onto the floor.
'Hey that's not nice!' He mocks hurt. I just laugh at him and answer my phone.
'Hey Til's what's up?' I ask, I look around to see the lads looking at me making kissy faces and mocking, I just flip them off.
'Th-th-they've g-o-one a-a-nd le-e-e-ft m-e-e-e' She stutters into the phone. Ok now I'm confused. I have no idea what shes saying.
'Til's clam down, whose gone? whose left you?' I say in a soothing voice trying to get her to clam down so she can speak clearly. I wait a few minutes and hear her breathing start to slow.
'Their dead Zayn, all of them, Mum, Dad and Luke.' She whispers into the phone, she sounds like shes on the verge of hysterics again. This has to be joke they can't be dead we only just skyped yesterday and all her family talked to me this can't be happening.
'H-h-how' was all I could manage to get out.
'A drunk driver' She whispers again. I turn to guys and motioned them to turn the t.v off, Liam looks at me confused but does it anyway. I need to sit down because if I don't I know I'll pass out, I'm so shocked I honestly don't know what to say, because I know nothing I say will bring them back to her, they were like my second family. I feel like I've lost half my family. I don't realise I'm crying until the lads are looking at me confused but their faces are all filled with alarm and concern.
'Til's I know you might not like the sound of this but you have to come here to London again and live with me. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you too.' That was all I could say before I started crying uncontrolablly. Seconds later Louis and Niall are pulling me into hugs and Liam has snatched the phone out of my hands and started talking to Tahulah. He eventually had to leave the room as I started screaming and crying so loud, I swear the entire population heard me. Lou and Niall eventually clamed me down at the exact moment Liam rentered the room phone in hand.
'She'll be on the first plane after all the funerals and be here by next friday' was all he said before pulling me into a hug.
-Present day-
The lads and I were lounging around the studio waiting for Harry to finally decide to show up. I looked over at Liam and the look on his face, my god Harry was in for it when arrived. I was getting quite worried actually, not because Harry was late, that was a normal everyday occurrence, but Tahulah. I had been speaking to her on the phone about to tell her Lou and Harry's address (because I was living with them until I found an apartment of my own) when her went dead or something. I've tried calling every 5 minutes after that but it went straight to voice mail, the boys have told me not to worry and that she'll call when she's ready. I mean she hasn't been in London for yea-. I was cut off mind thought when the studio door burst open, we turned around and saw Harry standing in the door way but he wasn't alone. Harry companion stepped around him timidly and was probably looking at four very confused faces.
'Zayn?' The girl asked unsure of herself. That's when I realised it was her Tahulah. Woah has she changed, like I know we skyped once a week so of course I know what she looks like but actually seeing her again in person after all these years was different. Don't get me wrong she was beautiful before but now she was in-describable, she was so breath taking there were no words to describe her. I stopped drooling over my best friend and stood up and walked over to her but not before whispering to the lads to wipe the drool of their faces. They all just have me sheepish looks.
'Tahulah!' I yelled. I pulled her into a hug and that's when we both let our emotions go, we cried into each for a good five minutes until I clamed down enough to regain my strength, I picked her up and cradled her to my chest and walked over to the couch and sat back down. I continued to hold while she sobbed into my chest, probably tear staining my shirt but I didn't care. She cried for probably a good half hour before she tired herself out and fell asleep against my chest.
I looked up to see the boys staring at her all expect Harry who sat there with a glare on his face, it took me a minute to realise that, that glare was aimed at me. The lads noticed me looking at them and they all just looked everywhere but at her, I just chuckled at them. After about five minutes the boys got up and did their own thing; Niall went to look for food, Liam had left the room and Harry and lou were having a heated talk over in the corner of the room, everytime I looked over at them Harry would aim his glare else where.
Liam re-entered the room with a smug look on his face, he then announced to everyone that we had the day off due to personal reasons. We all made our way out of the studio, with me still cradling Tahulah gently against my chest, and out the back way to avoid all the screaming fans and the paparazzi. Once all settled in the car we made our way back to Harry and Lou's place. This was the start of a new beginning for Tahulah and I prayed for her sake that is would be much better than the one her family tried to make in Australia.
