Luke's POV

2:32 am I got the call.

The exact words are still engraved in my mind.

Playing again and again like a broken record.

She didn't make it, I'm sorry mate.

I just sat there.

I couldn't do a thing.

She'd left me 2 hours before the call.

They waited 2 hours to call me.

I got the first flight there.

It didn't seem fast enough.

They let me see her.

Her small body, completely white and frail.

Her hair flying everywhere.

The dark bags still under her closed eyes.

I held her stone cold hand and sat there and just cried.

I cried and cried and cried until I wasn't sure there were any tears left.

Then a nurse came handing me two beautiful baby girls.

Our babies.

One of them had a shrivelled leg, like they presumed but was just as pretty as her sister.

I wanted to call them Juliet and Jemma, Zoe liked the names Diana and Poppy.

And I said they were stupid names.

They're gorgeous names, the names of our baby girls

But Zoe left me, Zoe left them.

I couldn't function properly at first.

But I had to take them home.

I went to her apartment.

And packed up all the stuff we need to live in Australia because I couldn't cope alone in London.

Now I'm back in Australia, it's been a week.

I'm coping.

Cara's being amazing.

Helping out in every way possible.

I know she'll be a big part of her future.

The funeral is in two weeks in London.

Alex is organising it, it'll be mainly friends.

Though that'll still be a large amount of people.

She was always so popular, so lively.

Cara and the boys said they'll come.

If you asked me a week back I'd have sworn Zoe would be the last person I'd date.

That me and her would be together forever.

That I'd marry her one day soon.

But I can't, my mum and dad never even met her.

It's to late to think about the past when I know how hard my future will be.

I know what we agreed but I'll keep them a secret.

Most of the fans believe the pregnancy scare was just a rumour anyway.

As there was no proof I actually knew Zoe.

I'll just deny it all.

I know how it sounds but i can't help it.

I have to protect Diana and Poppy.

I can't imagine the hate they would get.

I don't want to.

I don't want to think about anything but Zoe before I forget the small things.

Ashton's POV

I haven't seen the boys in ages.

I've seen them twin this week.

But that's also five times this month, which is like nothing.

I never really knew Zoe but she made Luke happy.

But not anymore.

Lost in thought I trudge through the street banging face first into someone.

Sophie.

She looked beautiful.

She wore high waisted shorts with a black floral top along with a pair of wedges.

Her brown hair looked bouncier than ever.

But her face had a smattering of fading brownish coloured bruises.

"What happened?" I ask.

"Nothing...my holiday wasn't over yet so" she cut off her own sentence looking at me expectantly.

"Sophie those bruises"

"I tripped"

"There are to many"

"I trip very often"

"They aren't new"

"I haven't tripped in a while"

"It's Joe isn't it?"

"I have to go Ash bye" I grab her wrist before she can move away any faster.

She winces and I look down at her bruise coated arm.

"What the hell has he been doing to you?" I say slightly forcefully.

"It doesn't matter Ashton" she sighs impatiently.

"It does"

"We had a few arguments, it happened we're over it"

"It's not though, is it?"

"Ashton leave it please"

"Break up with him" I demand.

"Why?"

"Well look at you"

"I'm fine"

"But I'm not"

"you're not?"

"I'm not"

"Why?"

"Because I love you" I blurt out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.~~~

Sophie's POV

I watch astounded as he continues.

"And I don't care about any secrets he thinks he knows about me, because honestly I'm an open book. It's an empty threat, I have nothing to hide. And even if it turns out he does know something I don't care because, I hate to be a cheesy romantic but, it doesn't matter to me you're what matters to me"

"But-" I start.

"Don't, there's always a but and it's never good"

"Maybe we should just be friends" I reason.

"To hell with friends" and with that he slams his lips on mine.

So guys Zoe's dead.

Dramatic turn I know, Calum and Alex haven't talked yet if you're wondering.

But Ashton and Sophie are happy YAY.

Michael and Aurelia will have something going on in the next chapter.
