"Normani, you're coming home soooo late and I was worried, I even got a teacher over to check on you are you okay?" Camila threw questions my way and I rolled my eyes, giving her a side hug. "I'm the happiest girl alive"

"Why?"

"I'm in love, that's why? Aren't you supposed to be my best friend? You're not supposed to ask me why when I say I'm happy" I informed her, she was getting used to the having friends thing. I totally get it. We sat on the couch and watched tv, Camila rested her head on my knees.

"Mani, we should totally go out" Camila announced, I laughed "Camz I don't like you in that way"

"Oh Har Har, I mean we should go out as best friends"

"We're best friends?" I asked jokingly, Camila sat up and hit my chest.

"Yes we are and it's my duty to make your life a living hell and fun" she smiled and dragged me off my feet, she pouted "Mani come on!"

"I'm just after coming out, I'm not going back again" I state, crossing my arms while Camila started a tantrum. She jumped around the room and grabbed a pillow "Don't make me do this" she warned, I shook my head "You wouldn't dare"

A force hit my head making me fall off the couch, she cackled and ran away "Catch me if you can" I jumped on the table and aimed the pillow for her head, it was heading straight for her but she dodged it and sent it back flying my way.

I jumped off the table and on to the beanie for a safe landing, the doorbell rang but I decided to ignore it "NORMANI!" a male voice yelled, he banged on the door. The house went silent, we crept up to the door and Camila looked in the eye thingy "It's Zayn, should I let him in?" she asked, her voice low in a whisper.

"Didn't you say Zayn is not allowed to be here?" I replied.

"Yeah well, I'm guessing he's going to apologise" she went to open the door and he bust in, his eyes were red and puffy and he sniffed constantly. He wrapped his arms around me, I pulled away "Get off me, what the hell?"

"Normani, I'm so sorry"

"For what? What happened?" My heart was beating, did something happen to Michelle, Lauren or Kiana? Or my family? He was breathing hard and I decided to let him breathe, I held his hand and sat him down with me. His knee was shaking.

"Zayn, calm down" I said, Camila came in with two coffees and a banana milkshake, she placed them down on the table and sat down beside me.

"You haven't heard? I couldn't sleep, I was supposed to tell you yesterday but you never came and-"

"Yesterday? While I was with Lauren?"

"Yeah I knew you wouldn't come if it was me then you never showed up, so I figured you'd found out already"

"What is going on Zayn?"

"Today is Sunday, he was admitted on Saturday"

"Who Zayn, who?"

"Chris, Chris is dying" Zayn shouted, I flinched, my heart stopped for a second and I couldn't breathe.

Camila shouted something but nothing could be heard but muffled screams and shouts, I could feel myself slowly coming down to the floor and Zayn rushing towards me. I felt a sharp pain in my neck then everything went blank but I was still falling.

[short, I've been sick these days but I'll try to get this book finished]
