The One Direction of Life

Chapter 9

We all looked at the door, the music stopped and Harry went to open it.

"Mrs. Connie? What are you doing here?" Harry asked surprised with seeing my Aunt here and so was I.

"Can I please talk to Cayley?" she asked but didn't wait for his answer, she rushed over to me with tears in her eyes.

"What's wrong Aunt Connie??" I asked getting worried.

"Your...your...Grandparents..." she started sobbing and couldn't continue.

"WHAT?! What about them??"  I started raising my voice feeling sicker by the second. She got a piece of paper and started writing on it. Then she handed it to me. I read it slowly.

'I just got a call that your grandparents have passed away.. Your grandma had a heart attack and was put in the hospital then on the same day your grandpa had a stroke and got put in the same room in the hospital. They only had a 5% chance of living.. They died holding hands together forever. i'm so sorry..'

I gasped and dropped the paper on the floor. Everyone was staring at me with curious eexpressions, I saw Niall pick up the piece of paper and read it with Harry, Zayn, Louis, Liam, and Nikki reading it also. When they finished they all stared at me. I was still standing there mouth open, hand out where I was holding the paper and frozen still. I wanted to cry, I wanted to blame God but I know it was his will,  so I decided to let go and cry. Niall saw the tears and came over and held me.

"I should've been there.." I said, sobbing into Niall's chest. "I shouldn't have came here.."

"Cayley it's not your fault.  Just think of what you've gained  from coming to this trip. You've met us and had a great date and gained new friends" I looked at him knowing what all he said was true.

"I know but Niall I should've been there when all that was happening, they were all I had except for my Aunt. Where am I gonna live? I can live with my Aunt if she lets me." I look at her still crying she nods and hugs me.

"Your always Welcome Cayley. I'm sorry for what happened." I continued crying into Niall and his arms was tight around me I saw Harry,Louis,Zayn, and Liam telling people that the party was over.

"This is from your grandparents for your birthday.." my aunt handed me a card. I opened it and it said,

'Cayley we love you and miss you. I hope you have a great birthday, we can't wait to see you when you come home. Love, Grandma and Grandpa' I looked at it and cried harder then ever.

"Their funeral is in 3 days and visitation in 2 days, I'm paying for all of it and were gonna board a plane tommorrow." My aunt told me.

"Okay.. i'll go pack." I walked away from all of them back to my Aunts house still crying my eyes out, I have no one, my aunt is always to busy for family..

--Niall's POV--

I felt sorry for Cayley, I mean she already lost her parents and now her grandparents, such bad luck.. I felt like crying for and with her, such a sad story how they all died. Everyone looked at me and I was just staring at the piece of paper still in myhands none of the words made sense anymore.

"Niall..?" Harry walked up to me and patted me on the shoulder, I just looked at him, "You should go comfort her. I know your hurt also because you care alot about her. She's leaving tommorrow for awhile Niall go see her." I looked at him and then everyone else who nodded agreeing with him so I started running towards Connie's house. The door was unlocked and I remembered which room was hers and found it, I opened the door to see a suitcase filled with clothes and another suitcase filled with other stuff. I saw Cayley sitting in the floor at the end of her bed looking at a picture, she looked up at me, her eyes red and puffy, tears still streamed down her face, she was still beautiful.
