Zayn Malik

"Yes you are, you're leaving this school."

"No I can't leave Zayn. I love him dad."

"You don't know what love is."

"Yes I do and it's that amazing person laying in my bed. I love him dad and there's nothing you can do about it."

I try shaking that conversations out of my head. Kelly's going. My baby is going. I can't believe that her dad would actually take her away from me.

I woke up hearing the conversation and tried going back to sleep. I didn't want to hear it. I don't want to believe it. This is not happening. I don't want her to leave. She's mine.

I close my eyes and try to sleep again.

I wake up to the sound of someone crying. Kelly? I turn around to face the crying person.

"Kell, are you okay?" I whisper trying to not startle her.

Her head jolts up and he wipes her tears away. "Dad's taking me home. Not home as in Florida, but home as in London. He says that he's flying Milli over to help me."

"Wait, why is he here? How did he know there was something wrong?"

"Sarah told him and she mentioned the argument we had. He knows there is something wrong because me and Sarah never argue. Guess he's wrong." She says getting up from Sarah's bed and sitting next to me.

"He says that I can say goodbye but I have until 5. He's taking me home then and taking me out of school." She says crying halfway through. I pull her into my chest and she continues sobbing through my shirt.

I look at the time and see that it is now 12. Great, five hours with my girl and then I won't see her for however long.

She eventually stops crying around half an hour later.

"Babe, we should go for a meal, to say goodbye to everyone in the group. Sound good?" She nods. "When should we go?"

"3-4? I want to make myself presentable. I've looked like shit the past couple weeks. I wanna say goodbye while looking fabulous." She says half laughing.

There's my Kelly. My beautiful girl, smiling. That's how I'm going to picture her when she moves. My baby girl smiling.

"I'm going to have a shower; I'll be back in 10." She says gathering up her toiletries and towel.

"Okay, I'll text everyone now and let them know. Fancy going Yo Yo's?" I say while looking up restraunt's on my phone.

"Yeah."

I walk back to my dorm and see Harry, Niall, Louis, Liam, Sarah and Clary sat in the confined space.

"Sarah's told us why she's leaving. Sorry mate." Liam says putting his hand on my back welcoming me into a 'bro-hug'.

"It's okay, only come back because she's in the shower and I need to get ready." I say grabbing some body wash, shampoo and conditioner. I grab a towel and make my way to the showers.

I quickly finish showering and walk back to the dorm and throw on some skinny jeans and a grey top with a red flannel. I complete the look by wearing some beige work boots. I gel my hair up into a quiff and start walking to Kelly's dorm.

I knock on the door and then walk in to see Kelly doing her makeup.

"You okay babe?" I say putting a hand on her shoulder. She flinches.
