Having No Regrets (A One Direction Love Story)

Willow's POV

"Willow, think about that suggestion I made, hey?" Zayn says with a grin.

"What suggestion?" Harry asks as Zayn starts pulling Luna out.

"Ask Willow." Zayn replies. Before Harry can ask him anything else, the two of them are out the door.

Harry looked at me. "So, tell us what's going on."

"Well Hailey wants me to sing at her wedding and I told her I was nervous about singing in front of a crowd so Zayn suggested that Luna and I sing together on stage so we feel more comfortable." I replied. "Plus, he's trying to convince me to take that record deal."

"You totally should! You and Luna sound awesome together! Also, I agree that you should take the record deal." Harry said.

"See, I'm not the only one!" Hailey said. "Everybody else agrees too!"

"Ok, just let me think about it a little more. I'll have my answer by the time I get back home tomorrow." I said.

A while later, everyone left and I lay in bed awake, contemplating whether or not I wanted this record deal. Music is my passion and it would be silly of me to pass up on such an amazing opportunity. On the other hand, I don't know if I could handle being famous or performing in front of large crowds. The thought of those things scared the shit out of me. If Hailey wanted me to sing at her wedding, fine. I could probably handle that better than I think I can.

Singing while surrounded by thousands of screaming people would not be fun for me. I would freeze, just like I did at my choir show my freshman year of high school. I would throw up. Why did this decision have to be so hard for me? I hoped I would have the answer in the morning.

I woke up the next morning feeling excited to finally go home. I got dressed and ready and then Hailey came to pick me up and take me back to the house. The doctor gave me some information about post surgery stuff and some antibiotics.

"I wish Liam could come with us." I said on the ride home. I missed him.

"He'll be back home before you know it. It's just a few more days. I still have to meet him!" Hailey said.

"I know! You'll love him, he's awesome." I blushed.

We got back to the house and the boys and Lottie looked really stressed. "What's going on?" I asked.

"A lot." Zayn replied. "Come upstairs with me, I want to talk to you alone since you guys are best friends." We went upstairs into my room and I sat down on my bed, while Zayn sat in my desk chair.

"Alright, tell me what's up." I said.

"Luna's gone."

"What do you mean she's gone?" I asked.

"I mean she ran away and she never came home last night. No one knows where the hell she is." Zayn put his head in his hands.

"Why did she even run away?" I asked.

"I asked her to come live with me." Zayn replied. "I think I scared her."

"Don't worry, Zayn. We're going to find her. We'll all help you." I reassured him.

"Thanks, Willow. I know you guys will help." Zayn replied. "Did you think anymore about my suggestion or the record deal?"

I took a deep breath. "I'm willing to sing at Hailey's wedding but only if Luna is ok with it. I think I'll be ok doing it solo if she doesn't want to."

"And the record deal?" Zayn raised an eyebrow.

I took another deep breath. "I did a lot of back and forth thinking with this one. But I have made my final decision."

"Which is?"

"I've decided I'm going to ditch this whole music thing and pursue an art career." I replied.

Zayn looked at me with wide eyes. "You're not fucking serious, are you?!"

I burst out laughing. "No, of course not! I suck at art! The look on your face was so worth it!"

"Oh, thank God. You really scared me there, Willow." Zayn said.

"Anyway, on a more serious note, I really have made a final decision. I'm going to take it." I said.

Zayn's eyes lit up. "Really?! You're actually serious?!"

"Yes, I'm serious!" I chuckled.

Zayn hugged me really tight. "Yes, I'm so happy! You made the right choice!"

"Zayn...I need to breathe." I said struggling for air.

He let go of me. "Sorry about that. I guess I got a little too excited."

"I think you're more excited about this than I am." I laughed.

"Yeah, I guess. You know, even if you had said no, I would have at least been happy you weren't being serious about the whole art thing." Zayn replied.

"Oh, shut up." I rolled my eyes.

We went back downstairs to discuss the whole Luna situation with everyone else. I decided to announce the record deal thing as soon as we had this figured out. Now wasn't the right time when Luna was missing.

"Ok, so what if we went around the city and split up?" Niall suggested. "Maybe the guys can look around some places and the girls look in other places?"

"Nah, I feel like we should just stick together." I said.

"Maybe we should try to think more like Luna." Harry said.

Lottie nodded. "Interesting. Explain."

"I mean like, if we were Luna, where would we go?" Harry replied.

"Yes, let's make a list of all the possible places she could be!" I said. I got some paper and a pen.

We discussed all of the possible places where Luna could possibly be and there were more than we thought but we had to find her.

"Actually, I think maybe we should split up after all. That way, we can get more items off the list quicker. Zayn, Niall, and Harry can go together. Me, Lottie and Hailey can go together."

"Alright, us guys will go to the first half on the list and you girls can go to the other half." Niall said.

We nodded and the boys went in Zayn's car, while Lottie, Hailey and I went in Hailey's car. We were going to find Luna, no matter what it takes. I just hope she's ok. She's been through enough trauma already. I would hate to think that anything bad had happened to her.
