Before leaving to Zayn's work I quickly jotted down a note saying I was out with some friends in case my parents came home. My mom now has a job so isn't home either. It's just me.

I could feel my palms getting sweaty as I pulled into the music shop Zayn worked at. As I walked across the parking lot, Zayn's car wasn't in sight. Was he even here? Did he get off early and didn't tell me? All these thought swirled through my mind as I walked through the door.

"Hi is um Zayn here?" I politely asked the manager

"Zayn? Nah he left about an hour ago. Is there something I can help you with?"

My heart seemed to stop. Did Zayn just lead me on? Should I text him?

"No that's fine. Thank you" I said probably looking like an idiot. I turned around and walked back to my car. I could already feel the hot tears welting in my eyes. I was trying to restrain them as I couldn't anymore. My tears flowed down my cheeks and dripping off of my face. I couldn't tell if I was angry or upset. Maybe a little bit of both.

While still sitting in my car which was still in the parking lot, my ringtone went off. It was Zayn.

"Hello" i asked trying not to let my voice crack.

"Layla? I'm so sorry I had a family emergency and had to leave I completely forgot to text you love I'm so sorry"

Was he being forreal? Or could he just tell I was upset and tried to make it better?

"Its fine Zayn."

"Layla I'm. I'm so sorry. I'll text you when I get the chance"

Now he seemed to be the one upset. Shit I probably seem like the most coldhearted person ever. I didn't even ask if the family emergency was okay or if he was okay. I quickly text him.

'Hope the fam is okay... let me know if you need anything. -Layla'

Moments later a text popped up.

'Thank you. And we're okay. Just my sister.'

'May I ask what's wrong?'

'Um. Just. My sister overdosed again. But don't worry. We're getting her therapy for her depression and soon she'll be all better.'

I had no idea. And now I suddenly wasn't mad or even upset. I was just praying everything went okay as I drove home. Only to arrive to Zayn's car in the driveway. What was going on?

As I got out of my car Zayn did the same. He seemed to have been crying, since his eyes were very red and puffy.

"Hey what's wrong? Is your sister okay?" The words coming out shakily. Zayn just grabbed my waist and pulled me to him. Burying his face in my neck crying.

"She's gone..." He said the words pouring out of him mouth. He was still holding me and crying as now my eyes began to tear up.

"I'm so sorry Zayn." I said leading him inside. We sat on the couch and began talking. Zayn, still crying began telling me memories of his little sister and how he use to chase her around the house with his pet lizard scaring her. I couldn't imagine how his parents felt. But this was the moment where Zayn had stopped crying and now was staring into my eyes.

"Layla. Promise me something"

"Anything Zayn"

"Don't ever leave me" he whispered in my ear before softly kissing my lips. This was the moment I have waited almost 2 years for...

Woaaah!!! Things are getting spicy!!(;
