Welcome to My Life

Hate to Break It to Ya...

Ominous .

For the next few days, Havana went back to her quiet self. Zayn wasn't at school either. He felt bad for yelling at Havana but that's not the only thing he feels bad for. After Zayn walked out of the school, Bianca walked out too. She followed Zayn and tried to calm him down as part of Chris' plan. She worked her little magic and used him while he was vulnerable and kissed him. Zayn kissed back but only for a little while then pushed Bianca away, and fled the scene. He needed time to clear his mind. He thought of going to the cliff but thought that, that would be the first place Havana would check. So he just drove around and didn't come home until late.

Havana .

I sat on my bed doing my science homework when I heard the front door close and heard my mom's voice.

"I'm in my room!" I called out.

I heard footsteps come up the stairs and then my door knob twisted and my mom walked in. I smiled and jumped off my bed and ran to my mom.

"I missed you!" I exclaimed, hugging her tight.

"Missed you too." My mom replied.

"So, what did you have to tell me?" I asked, still hugging her.

"Sit on the bed honey. You need to sit for this one." My mom sighed.

I let her go and we sat on my bed.

"Remember when I had to go to the hospital all the time and you had to stay with your aunt?" She asked.

"Yeah."

"Well, the reason why I was in the hospital was because they found a lump in my breast and I needed treatment for it." She explained.

I had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach and said,

"What are you trying to say?"

My mom looked hesitant.

"It's back and stronger than ever this time. The doctor said that because it's so strong that I have little time left to live." She said, as her voice cracked with sorrow.

Piece by piece my heart broke. I clung to my mother as we cried together. I never thought that I would be losing my mother so soon.

For the remainder of the day I just sat and watched whatever was on TV. My phone kept buzzing but I ignored it. I was watching a random episode of Catfish when I heard thumps against my window. I slowly got up and walked to my window. I squinted my eyes to see the person because it was nigh time. I walked away from the window and looked for a flashlight. When I found it, I shone the light out the window to the person, and it was Zayn. My eyes widened and he motioned me to come outside. I nodded and put on my slippers. I walked down the stairs to see Marvin asleep on the couch with the TV on. I inwardly groaned and decided to sneak out through the back door and walked to where Zayn was standing.

"What are you doing here?!" I whisper-yelled. "It's late!"

"I wanted to apologize for screaming at you that day." Zayn explained.

I stood there and looked at him.

"Say something please." Zayn pleaded, and he grasped my hand.

"I-I just don't like seeing people fight at all." I mumbled.

"I was only trying to protect you. The minute I walked out, I felt guilty. I have to tell you something." Zayn replied.

Oh god please no more bad news.

"Bianca kissed me and for some reason, I kissed back. I didn't come to school for the next few days because I didn't want to face you. The more I thought about it, I think Chris and Bianca are trying to break us up. But we can't let them. I feel so attached to you already. You make me feel something that I can't describe." Zayn cried.

As before, I stood there in shock and disgust. First it's bad news from my mom and now Zayn.

"Wait, what's wrong with your mom? You can tell me. You can tell me anything." Zayn pleaded.

Why do I keep thinking out loud?

"No. I can't." I sobbed.

"Baby, whatever you're going through, I'll help you I swear. Just please tell me." Zayn soothed, as he caressed my cheek.

I tried to calm down by breathing in and out and said,

"My mom is dying of breast cancer. She doesn't that much time left to live."

Zayn pulled me into a hug as I cried into his shirt.

"I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry." Zayn whispered, as he held me.

Why can't things get better for me?
