The phone call that changed my life

Exams

It's already been six months since Zayn went back to England. I miss him so much. Unfortunately we don't talk a lot, but when it happens it's like I fall in love all over again. I just need to read one of his text message to feel the beautiful butterflies in my belly.

My parents kept the secret , no one knows about me and him. For my sister was a little bit harder but she kept the secret too. Sometimes she talks about him or about the band like she doesn't know that we're dating. She knows I miss him so much and when I think about him I just feel bad.

It's been six months and I love him even more. I still remember his words...

Tomorrow I'll start with the school exams and to be honest, I'm not really ready. I'm depressed in this period, last night Zayn called me. He said they are going to leave in a couple of days for a world tour and they are going to travel for 10 months. He also said they're not coming to Italy this time, so this means that I'm not going to see him at all.

"Marta?" mom said walking in my room.

"Mmh?"

"You should be studying. Tomorrow you have the first test, I know it's just an Italian essay but..."

"Mom I can't do this"

"Can't you study?"

"No, I'm too tired. I feel like my head is going to explode"

"Is it for Zayn?"

"Yes, but no. I...I don't know. Maybe"

"What happened?"

"I miss him mom. I miss him terribly"

"It's been over six months Marta. I can't believe you still love him so much"

"Instead I do. I always think about him, I never felt like this before"

"I can imagine that. Long-distance relationships are always hard but I think you two are doing great"

"I just wish I could see him again. He would give me the strength to go on and maybe to pass the exams"

"You'll make it, he's always going to be with you if his feeling are as strong as yours"

"I know but he called me yesterday..."

"Oh oh...I don't like that face"

"He's leaving for a world tour with his band the day after tomorrow. He'll travel for 10 months"

"I'm sorry"

"He's not coming to Italy, so I'll not see him again. I can't handle this"

"You'll be strong just like he will be. Do you think it will be easy for him?"

"I don't know. I never thought about it"

"Think about it then. A couple is made by two people, if you suffer he will too"

"I love you mom, you always make me feel better"

"I love you too. Now study come on, this is going to be the last time sitting on this chair" she laughed.

"Alright" I replied. I got up from the bed and I opened my literature book on my desk. I sat down and my phone vibrated. I had a text from Zayn. I smiled and I read it.

"I'm missing half of me"

"I miss you like crazy too"

"I want to see you baby"

"I want to see you Zayn but it's impossible"

"I could take the jet and be there tomorrow. I would be there in the afternoon, I could spend the night with you and then leave the morning after"
