Don't Let Me Go

Chapter 10

Everyone went to Louis's place for lunch the next day. By "everyone", I mean Zayn, Niall, Liam, Eleanor, Danielle, and I. We hadn't all been together since the funeral so we wanted to get together again.

"Mayn, Zaygan, Zorgan, Morgayn..."

Niall had his heart set on finding Zayn and I a couple name. He wasn't doing very well so far...

"So, what have you guys been up to lately?" Liam asked looking down at his tea.

We were all trying to avoid the whole Gemma situation.

"Lots of rain..." Danielle said awkwardly.

"Morgan and I watched Toy Story 3 the other day!" Louis said.

"Without me?!" Liam screamed. "You know I love that movie!"

"Calm down Liam. You can borough it if you'd like?" I said.

"Yes!"

We laughed and then got quiet again.

There was a long pause again.

"Look, we're making this way more awkward than it needs to be. I know a lot has changed in the past few weeks, but I don't want this to change. I don't want any of this to affect our friendship and what we have. I love you guys way to much to lose you. I've already lost too many friends, and I don't want to lose anymore." I said.

"I agree. I mean, we lost lost Harry so obviously things will never be quite the same. I just don't want it to tear us apart." Eleanor added.

"Yeah. Honestly, we need eachother more than ever..." Liam said.

"If any of you need me, I'm here for you. I've been told that I'd make a good physicologist. Just saying..." Louis said.

We laughed. No asked by who. I guess it's because we all agreed so we believed someone would actually say it.

We finished our lunch and we soon found ourselves getting a bit bored.

"We should watch TV." Niall suggested. He was taking a break from coming up with our name.

We turned the TV on. I guess the media weren't done with Harry and Zayn and I. Every story on those celebrity gossip shows was either about Harry and his life or Zayn and I dating. Oh yeah, did I mention Zayn and I officially announced we were dating? We were sick of all of the rumours so we just decided to tell everyone and make it official.

One story in particular caught my attention. It was still about us, but it had a couple new faces too, Anne and Gemma.

"Harry Styles's mother is in tears and his sister is furious. Why? We have the whole story coming up next."

What story? What there to tell? How could it be the "whole story" if they didn't get my side, or Gemma's for that matter? I doubt she commented on it.

Liam went to change the channel.

"No! I want to see this..." I shouted.

Liam kept the channel where it was and Niall left the room to finish coming up with a name. I don't think he wanted to see me cry like he thought I would after seeing the story.

A few commercials later, the show was back.

"As many of you Directioners know, Zayn Malik and Harry Styles's ex-girlfriend, Morgan Taylor have recently announced that they are dating. We were all pretty shocked at the news and apparently, Harry's sister, Gemma, was furious about it. Her reasons are unknown but she reportedly made several phone calls to Morgan and Harry's friend/bandmate, Louis Tomlinson expressing her feelings about it. Miss. Taylor was supposedly in tears after receiving the calls and Louis was very upset and angry too."

How did they find out all of this? None of us told anyone, unless Gemma did. I swear, those paparazzis need to learn to have some respect and give us some privacy. And "ex-girlfriend"? I was still very much in love with Harry. To me, we never broke up. I'll never, consider myself his ex-girlfriend...

"Harry's mother was recently seen walking into her home in tears, presumably over losing Harry. Poor Anne! Hopefully nothing is wrong between Morgan and Anne! We love their mother/daughter relationship! All of us on set think Zayn and Morgan make an adorable couple and wish the best for them. What do you think? Log onto our website and let us know!"

Liam shut the TV off. Zayn wrapped me up in his arms, kissing me softly on the forehead.

I didn't cry. I was certainly upset, but I didn't cry.

"Morgan, I'm sorry..." Zayn said.

"Why? There's nothing to be sorry about. If anyone should feel bad, or sorry, it's Gemma." I said.

"You're right. I was afraid you'd be upset."

"I'm not. Angry, but not upset..."

"That's good. I don't like it when you're upset! I love your smile!"

He kissed me.

"Aww! Isn't that adorable!" Liam and Louis were practically fancifully over us.

Danielle and Eleanor sat in the corner smiling at us.

"Honestly, my life is perfect right now. I have an amazing boyfriend, friends, family, everything! I love you guys so much! The only thing that could possibly ruin it is Gemma showing up or something!"

We laughed and had one giant group hug. How did I get so lucky to have friends like these?

*knock, knock*

"I'll get it." Liam said.

"Hmm, I wasn't expecting anyone. That's really weird..." Louis said.

I heard the door open. My heart stopped. There she was, right there... Why was she here? How did she even know, I was here?

"Miss me?" Gemma said. She had an evil little smirk on her face.

None of us said anything.

"I got it! Mayn!" Niall screamed as he ran into the room.

He saw Gemma and went silent.

Great. What am I supposed to do?
