Fate's Identity

Chapter 90

Present

Zayn's POV

"What happened after that?" Lauren questions.

I shrug, not knowing myself. "I have no idea. I woke up in the hospital from a coma, and I didn't realize what had happened until I was discharge from the hospital. I didn't know where Liam or Louis were, and I didn't trust anyone really, so I took a flight here and hitchhiked."

I shift my eyes on Camila and see the tears streaming down her cheeks. "And I thought you left me for someone better."

I brush a lock of hair out of her face and cup her cheeks. I wipe her tears away as I assure her, "Never. I love you too much to ever think so." Camila smiles, warming my heart to see her happy again.

"Okay, then, what happened to Liam?" Dinah asks.

I shrug. "I wish I knew."

"Well, there has to be someone who knows what happened?" Lauren questions.

Niall clears his throat, "What about Louis?" He asks.

Lauren shakes her head and rolls her eyes. "No. Not him. I'm not going to invite him over," Lauren says.

I crease my brows, seeing her more tensed at the mention of Louis's name. What did Louis do to her?

"Lauren, if you want to know what happened, then you have to call Louis over. You're the only who has his phone number."

"What about Zayn?" She points at me.

"I don't have my phone, other wise I wouldn't had to hitchhike," I spoke.

"Well, I'm not going to call him," Lauren states.

"I will then," Dinah volunteers. "Give me your phone, Lauren." Lauren sighs and digs into her pocket. She pulls out her phone and hands it to Dinah. Dinah unlocks the phone and calls Louis. She presses the phone against her ear and within seconds, she greets, "Hello, Louis." There was a pause, and I can hear Louis's voice coming from the phone - although I didn't know what he was saying. Dinah looks at Lauren and tells Louis, "Lauren has something to ask you."

Lauren darts her eyes at Dinah, and Dinah shoves the phone onto Lauren's ear. Lauren groans, rolls her eyes, and answers, "Hello? Louis?"

"Can you come over? It's very urgent."

"Okay, I'll see you soon,"

Lauren ends the call and sets her phone on the couch. She darts her eyes on Dinah and gives her a dirty look. "I hate you," she says.

"Well, is he coming?" Dinah asks, flipping her hair back.

"Of course," Lauren answers. "He says he'll be here shortly. Hopefully, he can keep those words."

I hold my breath, wondering what happened between them. However, Camila rests her head on my shoulder, distracting me from my thoughts. I intertwine our fingers, just like before I left.
—
The door in the kitchen swings open, catching our attention. Louis enters the house, and his eyes widen once he saw my presence. "Zayn?" Louis questions.

Camila lifts her head up, and I stand up. "Hey there, Louis," I cross my arms.

Louis shuts the door behind him and walks to the living room. "What are you doing here? I thought you were in Bradford."

"I would like to know why you're here as well," I remark.

Louis' eyes trail to the rest of the people in the living room. He walks around the couch and stands in the center of the living room. His eyes look at Lauren, and he asks, "What is this about?"
