Cold Comfort »Z.M.« ✔️

26."She's gone, Zayn."

   I wake up in a shitty mood and with a headache from crying. I'm not going to school today. Not gonna happen. I go to Liam's room. He looks at me curiously.

"Morning. Something happened?" he asks fully turning to me. I nod.

"I'm moving away from here. I don't care how, but I have to." I whisper. He frowns and drops everything he has in his hands just to hug me.

"What happened, little?" he asks not letting me go. I hug him back.

"Don't call me little. Please." I whisper as tears form in my eyes. He pulls away just to look in my eyes.

"What did Zayn do?" he asks since he knows it would only be connected to Zayn, because only both of them calls me little.

"He came to me last night. Uhm... We... Kind of had sex and... And he came in me... And I'm not on the pills. And when he left... When he left he said he wanted to have me for one last time... Since he overheard Nicole or Ruth say that I'm over him... And I went to him to talk... And there was this girl... Girl that he touched as if she's his girlfriend or something." I explain, now crying again. He sighs.

"Okay. Uhm... I think you can go to auntie Diana's." he offers. I nod.

"Yeah. I'm gonna call her and get a flight ticket." I answer. He hugs me once again. But then he lets me go and goes downstairs.

*Liam's POV*

   I enter the school and look around. Yup, Zayn's with a new girl. He sees me looking, but I just go to our class. He runs up to me. I look in his eyes.

"Hey... Thought you'd come to us. Wanted to introduce you to my childhood friend." he smiles. The girl comes up as well.

"Only childhood friend?" she giggles. He playfully rolls his eyes.

"Where's-"

"Don't ask me where Kayla is. You keep breaking her." I stop him. He frowns. Sighs.

"What happened again?" he asks. I nod.

"You really want to know what happened? She panicked about your stupid fuckboy moves!" I yell at him. He looks around, but then at me.

"We weren't together anyway, she shouldn't be worried about that." he shrugs. I frown.

"Oh, that's what you tell me after sleeping with her and leaving her with a chance of her getting pregnant. You can't even imagine how she panicked." I say and cross my arms.

"Shit... That girl is so much trouble..." he breathes out, "Okay, I'll talk with her after lessons since she's panicking so bad that she can't come to school." he mumbles. I smile. Be ready to hear this, Zayn.

"She's gone, Zayn. No trouble for you, man." I answer and my smile fades. He looks so confused and scared.

"Gone? What do you mean?" he asks stepping a little closer. Tears well up in my eyes.

"Gone. She won't come to this school anymore. She won't live with me anymore. She won't be here anymore. And that's because of you. In the beginning I was cold against her. I regret that. When I began to spend more time with her I realised how much she means to me. And now I felt happy every morning, because I knew I'd meet her to go to school. To have some fun memories. I thought we could finish school and have the best summer that I could imagine." I say holding back my tears. But he can't do that. A tear slides down his face.

"You're joking, right? She didn't leave..." he whispers. I shake my head.

"She's gone, mate. On her way to Turkey." I answer. He shakes his head.

"No, tell me you're just messing with me!" he gasps, "Tell me it's just a bad joke, because she wouldn't leave! It's just not her..." he whispers.

"Why the fuck would you care? You have many girls to fuck and fall in love with." I mumble and go to the class leaving him like a mess. But I don't care anymore.

*Kayla's POV*

   I talked with auntie Diana and she said she booked me a private flight over to Turkey so now I'm in the airport, about to get in the plane. She said she'd buy me clothes there. I agreed. I look in my new phone which I also got today since I had to contact my auntie. I text Liam 'bye, love you' and get in the plane. I show them my ticket in my phone. They nod and let me go. I choose my seat and sit in it. My phone begins to vibrate. I looked at it. Ugh, Zayn's messaging me. I open his messages.

Zayn- Don't leave..

Zayn- Please..

Zayn- I'm sorry for everything, just don't leave!!

Zayn- Liam is a complete mess now! He's crying and angry at me.. But I didn't know..

Me- Well, it is because of you so..

Me- And I'll text him when I'll be free.

   I knew this would be hard. But I never thought of how Liam would feel without me. I open mine and Liam's conversation.

Me- I'm sorry.. But I have to..

Me- I'll visit you for summer. :)

Liam- promise? Love you

Me- I promise, Li <3 love you too

   I have to put my phone on the airplane mode now, because the plane just began its flight. And now I have a lot of hours in this plane. Alone.

   When we land I feel fresh and somehow better. Maybe because I know I won't have a guy literally running after me and then breaking my heart, and all over again. I leave the plane. Go to the airport. I look all over to see if I can find auntie Diana.

"Hey, Kayla! How are you doing?" Zack, my other cousin happily greets me as he approaches me from the side. I hug him.

"Hi! I'm doing fine, how are you?" I ask back. We let each other go. He checks me out.

"Damn, my little cousin has grown up, huh? I'm good. Let's go, uncle Robbie is waiting for us." he says. I nod. We walk out of the airport. Some guys whistle. Zack shows them middle finger and laughs.

"They're my friends from school." he mentions. We approach the car. Holy... Cow. He's rich and a fuckboy as well? Hell no. What have I gotten myself into again? We sit in the car.

"Hey, Kayla! How are you?" uncle Robbie greets me. I smile at him.

"I'm good, how are you?" I answer. He answers that he's good and with that I go quiet. They talk about Zack's friends. And somehow Zack reminds me of Zayn. Why? Why Zack? Why does he have dark brown hair and brown eyes? Just... Why? I just laugh about jokes and answer simple questions. Maybe this was a bad idea? We'll see after a month maybe. I sigh closing my eyes. I already miss them.
