Tayah's POV-  

"Thanks for the lift Haz, see you later yeah?" Harry droped you and Zayn off at the front of his apartment. You say goodbye to everyone and give Louis a kiss on the cheek. "I'll call you later tonight yeah?"  

"Yeah yeah, you know I only live 10 minutes away?" I giggled, and then the car made its way back into the horrible London traffic. "Shit, babe, I can't find the keys?" I roll your eyes and drop my bag in the middle of the corridor and dig my way through my hand bag. "Lucky I have a spare key to everyone's apartment!" I say while shoving Zayn out of the doorway and swinging the door open.  

Zayn's apartment is my most favourite out of the boys, good thing that I will be staying here more often. As soon as you walk in there is a round table, always filled with mail and sometimes an occasional bouquet of flowers that his mum sends him. I then make my way to the living and kitchen area and viola, you have a view of London. It is just majestic, especially at night time.  

I turn around to see Zayn carrying both of your bags into his bedroom; I follow his steps and lean against the doorframe. "So, since we are official, do you care to join me?" Zayn says while pulling me closer to his body, and carrying you to his bed. "Babe, I'm really tired, not tonight, let's just go to bed" I say, Zayn shrugs his shoulders and his bottom lip starts to droop. I laugh then playfully punch him in the stomach. I make your way under the cosy doona and your eyes start to feel heavy. I want to fall asleep like this, every single night, in his arms.  

I wake up and stretch my body until I can feel my toes at the edge of the bed. I open meeyes and turn to see the right side of the bed empty, with only a rose and a little note attached to the stem.  

Had to go to a meeting with the boys and Simon, call you soon. Love Zayn xx 

I decided to hop out of bed, and head for the shower. Once I'd finished washing my hair, I turned the taps off and grabbed a fresh towel from the vanity. I started to dry my hair when I heard my phone start to buzz, alerting me that someone is calling me. I glance at the screen and see its Danielle. "Danni, how are you? I haven't spoken to you in ages!" I say while switching my phone on loudspeaker and continue to dry my hair with the towel. 

"I'm good girl, tour was amazing. Me and Jessie J have become really good friends and she wants me to come with her to Australia to do a few shows, how good is that?"  

"That's awesome Danielle, so what's happening today?" I raced into Zayn's room and grabbed my make-up bag. Once I'd finished your conversation with Danielle she invited me and Eleanor to a brunch date. I go into Zayn's room and put on my black skinny jeans, a white flowy top, a dark grey cardigan and some knee leather boots. I made my way out of the apartment, got my scarf and purse and hailed for a taxi. 

"Hi, ma'am, where to today?" The middle aged man said, while looking at you through his rear-view mirror. "Morning, Seed café' please, on Corner Avenue." I replied with a smile. "Sure thing, be there in 5" I nod my head and rested it on the window, looking at the business men, rushing to get the next train, the group of mum's who run 20 km everyday with their children in the prams, Or just the casual stroller.

"Oh god, I'm so full" I say while patting my stomach. Eleanor and Danielle follow my action while laughing. I felt my phone start to vibrate in my pocket. I excused myself from the table and made my way outside to stand on the sidewalk. "Hey Mr Malik how was the meeting? Did yo-" Zayn started to speak over the top of me. "I'm coming to pick you up now, we need to talk" Then all I could hear was the dead line beeping at me. I had a confused look on my face. I had to find my table and explain to the girls, but they already knew but were refusing to tell me, they think that Zayn telling me is the best option. I see Zayn's car pull up at the front of the café' and say goodbye to the girls, and remind them that we need to make a raincheck.  

"Listen, I haven't done anything wrong so, please tell me what's wrong!" I say while shouting at Zayn. I notice that there is a group of paparazzi taking photos of me and Zayn, so I kiss Zayn on the cheek and try to act natural. Zayn starts to stiffen and turns on the engine and drives through all the backstreets until we are parked in a one way street.  

"Okay, you might not like what I'm about to say but please, just listen" I felt a feeling. A horrible feeling, was Zayn about to break up with me? I couldn't handle the embarrassment so my lips just started to talk. "If you going to break-up with me just save the excuses" I left my head to fall and my hair to cover my face from humiliation. I felt Zayn's hand lift my head up, and put my loose strands of hair behind my ear. "Listen, I would never, ever, break-up with you. Mark my word Tayah" I smile but then try to think of what he is going to say?  

"Well, the meeting that we had with Simon today, well it was about our Europe tour. We leave tomorrow." All that was going through my head was 'tomorrow, it can't be tomorrow, my birthday Is the day after' "But my birthday Zayn" I say while a tear slowly starts to form in my eyes then make its way down your cheek, with others not far behind.  

I finally got home, at my own apartment. No Zayn, no tour, no distractions. I still couldn't believe that Zayn and Louis and the boys weren't going to be in London for my birthday. It was my 19th birthday. Liam, Niall and I had already planned everything. 3 tier cake, truth or dare the naughty edition for the whole night. Now I was going to be all alone, watching some reality TV show, eating take out and listening to the hustle and bustle of London life.  

The next morning, I woke up to receiving a text message from Louis: 

Landed safely, I will call you tomorrow before our first show, what's happened with you and Zayn? He's a mess. Love you lil' sis, xox Loubear  

My face started to light up, I threw my phone on my bed and walked into the kitchen to grab another cupcake Jay and the girls sent you. That's number 7. I walked back into the lounge room, placed my slippers on my feet and settled into the couch ready to watch 'Neighbours'. I was getting right into the TV show, when suddenly a knock on the door door startled me. I opened the door to see a large white box underneath my feet with a red ribbon wrapped around it. It has a sticker on the side saying fragile. I gently picked it up, and place it on the floor in the lounge. I opened the card that it came with:  

I'm so sorry about me missing your birthday, I will see you soon, but here is someone who will keep you company for a while, just while I'm gone. p.s- call me when you think of a name. Xox Zayn  

I felt a feeling making its way through the pit of your stomach. I gently tugged on the ribbon until it collapsed on the floor. Then suddenly I heard a little yelp. I pushed the lid of the box and a tiny little puppy is curled in the corner with a purple bow on its collar. I lifted it up and pulled it closer to my chest; it's a black pug from the looks of it. I kissed it on the head and carried it into my room fetching my phone and started dialling Zayn's number. I hear the tone dial 3 times then you hear his soft, familar voice.  

"Baby, I love it! Thank you so much!! How did you-" Zayn interrupted you. "Do you have a name yet babe?" I smile at the thought that he isn't mad at me anymore and I reply instantly "Yep, his name is Scout" Zayn and I talk on the phone for nearly 4 hours, just talking like he is right next to me, in the same bed, cuddled next to each other. But now I have Scout. Who is adorable. I felt my eyelids slowly start to close, but I don't want to leave Zayn. "Zayn, can you please sing to me?" he doesn't reply for a while, but then he starts to breathe in and begins to sing my favourite Ed Sheeran song. Autumn Leaves.  

Another day,  

Another life 

Passes by just like mine it's, not complicated 

Another mind, 

Another soul 

Another body to grow old it's, not complicated 

Do you ever wonder if the stars shine out for you?  

Float down, like autumn leaves 

And hush now,  

Close your eyes before the sleep 

And your miles away  

And yesterday, you were here with me.
