Annabell (Zayn Malik)

Annabell Ch.1 The Phone Call

Chapter 1

“Zayn!” 

I was hearing her voice in my head again. Dreaming of her soft skin, her insanely messy hair. There was no doubt in my mind that I missed her. She was after all my best friend. 

“Zayn!” 

Her sweet perfect voice sang. I wanted more then anything to wrap her in my arms and keep her there forever. I missed her so much it hurt. 

“Lily?” I mumbled sleepily. 

A pillow smacked me on the side of my face. I sighed inwardly, it wasn’t Lily who was waking me up. Instead it was none other then Louis. I grumbled and rolled over so I was facing away from him. I wished it was Lily waking me up instead of the boys. 

“Zayn!” he shouted again. 

I was so tried, all I wanted was some sleep. Just a little cat nap, but no I had to be woken up by Louis. 

“What do you want!” I snapped. 

When he didn’t answer right away, I rolled to face him. His expression held pain. Not the physical pain of stubbing your toe. This was an unimaginable kind of pain. His face was paled and his eyes were wide. His wide eyes held hints of sympathy. 

“What is it? What’s wrong?” I asked in a rush. 

He didn’t say anything, he just handed me the phone that was held against his ear. I took it and place it on mine. My heart was racing and sweat began to  pool in my hands. It made the phone slick in my hands.

“Hello?” I answered. 

“Hello, this is Bradford hospital. Is this Zayn Malik?” A lady no more then thirty spoke. 

“Yes it is” I said. 

I was fearing the worst. My sisters, my mother and my farther held front and center in my mind. 

“There is no easy way to tell you this.” she said.

Her voice was soft and comforting, almost motherly. Maybe she was trained to give bad news to unsuspecting people. 

“Lily Evans came into the ER earlier this evening and she has unfortunately passed away” she said. 

It felt as though I was shot in the chest. I couldn’t breath. Speak or move. My best friend was gone. My first love was taken away from me forever. 

“Are you still there sir?” the women asked. 

I nodded but then realized she couldn’t see me. I sucked in a deep breath and spoke. 

“yes” I tried to say but it sounded more like a  grunt or a jumble of multiply words. 

“Lily has left something here for you and we were wondering if your willing to come and take it home” she said. 

She seemed to be testing the waters. I could sense there was more to the story. She was leaving out something huge. 

“What?” I asked. 

This time it sounded normal. 

“A baby” she said lightly. 

A baby? Why would Lily leave be hind a baby. My mind clicked together as a simply memory replayed in my head. It was before I left for tour with the boys. We had just admitted we love each other when it happened. We made love. I had to admit she was really good and it was intimating. Thankfully we fit together perfectly. 

“I’m on my way” I said. 

I wasn’t sure what made me say this. What in me decided this was a good idea but I would go along with the little voice in my head. She sighed with relief.  

“See you soon Mr. Malik” she said. 

I didn’t even wait to hear her say good bye. I shut the phone and jumped up, throwing on what ever clothes were laying around. 

“You ok, mate?” Louis asked.

I nodded my head. I shoved my shoes on my feet and headed out the door. A stopped mid stride. Tickets, I need plain tickets. I pulled out my phone and called the necessary number. My flight was in two hours. In two hours I would meet my child, and then it hit me. I’m a farther. I now have a baby to look after and take care of. How in the hell am I going to do this?
