Missing In Action 20

*Few Days Later* 

We were in the living room waiting for Anna to come back with Josh. I sat on the couch with Faith sleeping in my arms. 

"Do you think we will like him?" Danielle asked. 

"If she likes him, I know I will." Ness said. 

"Me too." Sky said. 

"Lets try not to be too intimidating." I chuckled. 

The front door opened. Anna came In holding a nervous boys hand. 

"This is Josh." Anna said. 

"Hi Josh I'm Danielle." She said holding out her hand. 

"Nice to meet you Danielle." He said nervously, shaking her hand. He had an American accent. 

The girls introduced themselves, so did I. 

"I'm sorry I can't stand up and introduce myself properly..." I said holding Faith in my arms. 

"That's alright..." 

"Perrie." I said as he shook my hand.

"Nice to meet you Perrie." He said. 

"Would you like anything to drink?" Sky asked. 

"Water would be fine, thank you." He said. 

Sky smiled and got up to get water. 

"I'll be back, I'm going to put her in her bed." I said getting up from the couch. 

When I put her to bed, I was walking back down the stairs. When I looked at josh and Anna on the couch holding hands, I stopped in my tracks. Josh looked familiar. Really familiar. 

I walked back to the couch and sat down. 

"How old are you josh?" Ness asked. 

"17..." He said.

"Do you have any other family members?" Danielle asked. 

"Yes. A sister and Brother. Amy and Mark." He replied. 

I paused.

"Mark?" I asked. 

"Yes ma'am. We moved here from America when we found out my brother was badly injured during a fight." He said. 

A sudden realization hit me.

"Josh?!" I said suddenly. 

"Oh my god your Marks brother!" I said.

"Yes. I am." He said confused.

"I'm the nurse that helped him with his leg. Im Nurse Perrie." I said.

He began to think about it. Then it looked like something just clicked in his head. 

"Nurse Perrie!" He said shocked.

"Oh my god!" He hugged me and I hugged back. 

"Oh my god look at you?! Your all grown up." I chuckled. 

"And you a mother now." He said. 

"We didn't think you were alive." He said.

"Alive?" Dani asked. 

"Why didn't you think I would be alive?" I asked.

"Mark said that after the attack, he never heard from you again. Some nurses said you had died." He said.

"Is he here in London?" I asked.

Josh looked down. 

"N-no...he went back to Korea." Josh answered. 

"But he's alive right?" I asked.

"We don't know." He said.

"I'm sorry." I said. 

"Josh..." Sky said. 

We all looked at her. 

"When do you turn 18?..." She asked.

"Next month..." He said looking at the ground. I breathed sharply, knowing that next month he'll be shipped to his death sentence. Anna put her hand over her mouth trying to hold back her tears. Her eyes began to get glossy. Josh quickly wrapped his arms around her. 

"It's okay. I'll be okay..." He whispered to her. But we knew that won't be the case. Just seeing Anna crying and Josh trying to comfort her took me back to when Zayn and the boys were called out to Korea. I breathed sharply again making a small gasp escape my lips. I put my hand over my mouth. 

"Excuse me." I said quickly running upstairs. 

I closed the door of my bedroom. I put my back against it and slid to the floor. I was crying quietly, afraid if I would wake up Faith. All the Sadness I felt on the day I found out Zayns death and Zayn's funeral came rushing up to the surface again. I've held it in for two years now.

*Next Morning*

I found myself asleep with my back up against the door. I cried myself to sleep again, which I hadn't done in Two Years. 

I stood up from the ground. Faith was already up. I walked to her bed. I picked her up and put her on her feet. I sat on the bed, wiping the new tears that streamed down my face.

Faith had her bear in one had. She climbed on the bed and sat next to me, her little legs swinging off the edge of the bed. 

"Why crying mummy?" She asked. 

I looked over at her. She held her bear close to her. I opened my nightstand drawer, and took a picture out. 

"Come here, baby." I sniffled patting my lap. She climbed on my lap. 

"You see him.." I said pointing to Zayn in the picture of me and him.

She nodded with her he's against my chest.

"That's your Daddy." I said.

"Where is he?" She asked.

I paused to think of what I would tell her. 

"Heaven." I said. 

"Does he like it?" She asked.

"Yes baby...he does." I smiled with tears streaming down my face.

I kissed the top of her head. 

"Want to put it by your bed?" I asked.

She nodded. I got tape and put it on the back of the picture.

"Wanna put it on the wall?" I asked.

She nodded. I gave her the picture and picked her up. She put the picture on the wall. I looked at the picture of me and Zayn.

I didn't want Anna to go through this. I didn't want her to feel like she doesn't know if Josh is alive or not. Or even dead. Then an Idea came to my mind. But it was risky.
