Always Be Together (Zerrie Fic)

Love You Goodbye

This is so weird lol it's been over a year since I updated this story! So much has happened, but I just really want to apologize for being MIA. I also want to thank you for reading a commenting and overall just being so supportive. 

This is the final chapter in this book. I'm using it as a poll, also, because I want to know if you might enjoy a sequel. I can't promise anything, but I was thinking of their lives as they've moved on without each other. Let me know, enjoy this chapter!

Again, thanks for never giving up on me. xxxxxx -L

It's now been a month since the breakup. At graduation, Zayn didn't speak to me, but he gave me the gift he'd been saving since his birthday. I opened the box when he left and my heart broke when I saw the ring with the metal engraved. To the moon and back. I hadn't taken it off since.

Now, it was the night before I leave for university. My parents had taken Harry, Niall, and me out to dinner. My mother was crying that we were growing up so fast and now we were leaving. I wanted to cry because this was the last time I would be with them for at least a month. They were going to a different school than me on the opposite side of the country and they were on the verge of tears too. We were all going to play football at school so we wouldn't see each other until Christmas. Dad and Anne drove them that night. It was so difficult to say goodbye to them, and we didn't want to let go when it came time to say goodbye.

"Don't forget about me, Harry," I smiled through my tears. He snorted and hugged me tighter.

"As if I could even if I tried," he laughed. I couldn't even form words—I'd never ever been away from the two of them except when I was in New Zealand. Every time I tried to say something, I got choked up. "You're going to kill them out there, babe."

"You too," I sniffed. I gave him one last squeeze before I released him and attached myself to my brother. Thinking about not being with him 24/7 felt like I was only walking around with half of my body intact. I couldn't stop crying no matter what he said to me.

"Quit crying," he said tearfully. Last night we had spent one last night staying up until morning talking about everything in our lives. Our mother had given us the medals that our grandfather had won in the war to keep us safe and we swapped them so we would always have a piece of each other with us.

"I'm really gonna miss you, Ni," I said. I hugged my big brother and never wanted to let go.

"I'll see you soon, Pez. Nothing can break us, remember?" He offered me his pinky finger and I hooked it with mine. I made sure that each of them had the tri-framed picture I had given them. The first picture was us on our first day of kindergarten that had been in both of our houses since that day. They both kissed my cheeks and I had a big toothless smile that paired well with my pigtails. The second picture was of us at prom recreating that picture. My arms were wrapped around their necks and they had their arms wrapped around my waist, lifting me slightly off of the ground. I had the widest smile on my face as they each kissed one of my cheeks. That was probably the happiest I'd ever been. The last frame was us at graduation. We were all entwined in a huge group hug. I knew that I was crying because that hug was the second after Zayn had given me the ring. They instantly closed ranks and protected me from people seeing me vulnerable. The moment defined our friendship. They protected me and I would do anything for them. I always would.

After they promised me FaceTime and Skype dates and at least three phone calls a week, I let them go. I cried as the car got smaller and smaller until it disappeared altogether. I sadly shuffled to my room and as soon as I sat on my bed, my phone rang with Zayn's ringtone that I had forgotten to change.
