Never Ending Love (Lullie+1D) SLOW UPDATES UNTIL JANUARY

Chapter 64

Ansley's POV

Dad drives Zain and I to the high school early for the play. As soon as we get there, we are both dragged off to get hair and makeup done.

Jeanette does my hair and makeup, telling me everything she is doing. I don't really pay much attention.

When she is finished, I look in the mirror. My blond hair is done up in curls and my eyeliner wings out. I hug her.

"It's perfect for the part, no?" she asks in her posh, French accent.

"Absolutely perfect," I reply.

I walk backstage and smile as we get into our places. I'm ready.

The show was amazing. I hug the whole cast before walking off to see my parents.

All of the sudden, my phone rings.

"Ansley honey, we're picking up Zain tomorrow, we figured him out," Perrie says.

"Really?" I ask, "What's wrong with him?  He didn't seem to have any issues around me."

"I don't think he'd want us to tell anyone," she says, "I'm going to call your dad in a minute. Tell him that we'll be seeing him soon and we send him all our love."

"Okay, bye Perrie," I say before hanging up. Dad's phone rings and he forwards the call.

"You did amazing love," he says, handing me a bouquet of flowers

"Daddy, that's so sweet!" I exclaim, giving him a huge hug. Wes hands me another bouquet of flowers and I hug him also. Mum hands me the last one.

"I'm going to find Zain, dad, you should probably answer that call," I say as he is about to hang it up again.

"Okay, we'll be waiting," mum says as dad walks off to talk.

"Zain!" I sing through the backstage area. There is no answer to my call.

"Zain, we're going home!" I shout. Still no answer.

"Zain!" I yell, walking through the hall and looking in all the makeup and practice rooms until I find him.

With Haily.

Making out.

I cover my mouth. He looks at me and Haily smiles.

"W-We have to go home Zain," I stutter out, forgetting what else I was supposed to tell him.

He looks down at his feet and blushes a little. "Okay," he replies. We walk through the hall silently to the auditorium.

"Nice job Zain," dad says, smiling. He smiles back a little.

"Your parents are coming to bring you home tomorrow Zain," mum says. His eyes widen.

"What? They aren't supposed to come for another three weeks," he says.

"They found something Zain, honey, you really have to go home," mum says again. He nods and we all get into the car.

"What did they find? Can you at least tell me that?" He asks.

"No," mum replies. Dad looks horrified, he stares straight at the road.

"Why can't you tell me? It's about me, I deserve to know," he says, staying persistent.

"No Wes, I..."

"They found razors and pills," dad replies, still looking straight at the road, "And if your Uncle Ashton finds out, I don't know what he'll do. He'll think he influenced it, none of you were supposed to know about his cutting. He only ever told Ansley."

Everyone except dad looks at me.

The rest of the ride home is silent, and once I'm home and get in and out of the shower, I rush to bed only to text Uncle Ash. He is quick to respond.

What's up honey?

Are you okay?

Yeah, why wouldn't I?

Nothing, I just haven't seen you in a while.

Oh, well, I'm fine, I'll text you again later, your Aunt Mia and I are out.

Oh, okay, have fun!

I decide to text Aunt Mia.

Zain cuts.  Please, if Uncle Ashton finds out, don't let him do anything. He's leaving Australia tomorrow.

She doesn't respond, but I know she'll get it sooner or later.

Mia's POV

I look down at my phone and read the text I have received from Ansley, and I am terrified.

"What's up?" Ashton asks, looking up at me from his almost finished steak.

"Nothing, Ellie was just telling me that Zain is leaving tomorrow," I lie.

"Oh, so soon?  I thought he was supposed to stay until Christmas?" he asks. I shrug.

"Zayn and Perrie want him back home I guess," I reply.

"It's a shame, he's a nice kid, and Ansley seems to like him a bit, if you know what I mean," he says, wiggling his eyebrows.

I laugh. Good old Ashton.

"Yup," I reply.

"You sure there's no exact reason why he's leaving?" Ashton asks, "Zayn seemed pretty excited about him getting out in the world a bit."

"Nope, no reason," I reply.

He nods and we continue with dinner, though  pretty sure he knows that something is up.
