Having No Regrets (A One Direction Love Story)

Luna's POV

I walk into the quiet house. I look around in the living room and dining room and there's no one here. I'd gone to Starbucks for a few hours after my now ex-professor told me. I decided to drop out the minute she told me. I went straight to the front office and asked to drop out. Of course they asked me why and I just told them it wasn't what I wanted to do anymore. Which of course was so far from the truth but I couldn't do it. That play was everything to me. It might seem childish that I decided to drop out; but I can't do it anymore. I'll have to try to catch my big break elsewhere.

I look around the bottom floor besides I go up the stairs.

"Zayn? Willow? Harry?" I call out and Willow's bedroom door is wide open but is completely empty. I walk down the hall and down to my own room and there's no one in there. I was wondering if Zayn was maybe waiting for me in there. I then walk into Harry's and that's entirely empty. I walk down and check the relaxing room; no one. I walk down to Zayn's room and he isn't in there. "Anyone?"

"I walk up the next step of stairs and into the pool, and still. No one. I go back downstairs to where I put my bag and I grab out my phone and no one's tried to call me. Then again, usually I probably wouldn't have finished college yet considering I should be rehearsing. 

I ring Zayn but he doesn't pick up. I do the same with Niall and Harry. And still nothing. I even try Louis but get nothing. What the fuck is going on? Where is everyone?

I sit on the kitchen bench, eating some fried rice, dangling my legs over the edge of the bench. I still haven't heard from anyone, and I've tried them again a few times only to realize a couple of the boys phones were in the living room. But Niall has it but isn't picking up. What if something happened to them? Then again, why would something happened to all four of them? And where the fuck is Willow? Why would she have left? Unless they all went out? Though why would they have left their phones? Why wouldn't they have a left a note or at least texted me? Why wouldn't Zayn be here with me? 

I suddenly hear a strange sound outside and jump off the bench and look outside. There's nothing there. I shake my head to get out the thoughts of Brian and lean against the kitchen bench and continue to eat my fried rice. But then I hear a rustling in the bushes and I put my rice on the table and look around. There's no one here. I hear more rustling and grab a knife from the drawer and turn off the light. By now my heart is pounding in my chest and I'm shaking. I crouch down beside the kitchen bench and I wait. The kitchen door leading to the outside world opens and I remember I forgot to lock it. Shit! 

I see shoes walk in and look around and turn on the light and I crouch down lower. My heart pounding faster with every passing second. Whoever it is walks around and he disappears and I feel something touch me and I spin around and raise the knife before the figure jumps back and the knife falls from my hand.

"Zayn." I breathe. My heart starts to return to normal and he wraps his arms around me tightly.

"It's okay, it's just me." He whispers against my hair and I wrap my arms around his waist and begin to sob.

"I-I-I thought it w-w-was him." I stutter and he rubs my back up and down.

"It's okay, it wasn't. I'm sorry." He says.

"Where have you been?" I ask.

"The hospital. Willow had to go back again." He tells me and I pull away from him and meet his brown eyes. "Don't worry! She'll be okay. She's gotten appendicitis but she'll be fine. She has to go on antibiotics and her appendix out and she'll be just fine."

"Are you sure?" I ask, raising an eyebrow and he gives me a reassuring smile.

"Yes, Luna." He says and I nod. "You're counseling session is tomorrow at about 3."

"Why so late?" I ask.

"You have college, remember?" He asks.

"No, I don't. I dropped out." I say simply before finishing off my rice and going upstairs.

"Wait! What? What are you talking about?" He asks, following me up to my room.

"Just decided it wasn't for me." I say simply walking into my room.

"Luna." He says sternly and I turn around to face him. "What happened?"

"I went to my drama class, the one where we rehearse and shit and my professor told me that she's given the part to someone else. Something about me not being committed enough because I missed last week." I sigh and he frowns.

"Luna, I'm sorry. I know how much that play meant to you. She seems like such a bitch. You were probably the most committed person to play the lead role." He reassures me.

"Yeah, maybe. Anyway, what's done is done. I no longer go to college, and I have to put up with 5 stupid assholes. No worries." I joke and he chuckles.

"Four." He corrects me and I raise an eyebrow. "Okay, four and a half."

"Nah, still five." I giggle and he just rolls his eyes at me.

A while later Harry and Niall walks in. Zayn and I are sitting on my bed in an intense game of monopoly.

"What do you two want? You're killing the vibe." I say, rolling the dice and taking my turn.

"Just wanted to check on you. I assume Zayn told you about Willow?" Harry asks and I nod.

"Of course he did." I say,

"Good. She told us that she won't blame you if you can't go visit her. We all know what you're like about hospitals. I know you wouldn't be staying there, but we know you've like." Niall says softly.

"Yeah, I probably will go. Just for her. She came for me. I might as well suck it up and see her. I'll go tomorrow or Wednesday, depending." I say with a small shrug.

"Alright. You're a great friend." Harry says with a smile. "Goodnight, you two."

"Goodnight." Zayn and I say in sync as Harry shuts the door and walks off.

Zayn and I go to sleep in another few hours after I win Monopoly. I'm just that good.
