Three weeks have passed and a lot has happened within these three weeks. Lauren stayed back with Zayn for his support and she didn't have a heart to leave him all alone. Lauren's family, friends and her fans were all convinced hat she was dead and was never coming back.

--------------

"WAKE UP ZAYN!!!" Lauren screamed jumping onto Zayn's bed. "ITS STARBUCKS DAY!!"

Zayn turned over and laughed in his raspy morning voice. "Gosh Lauren when will you ever leave me alone." He jokingly replied.

Lauren was pulling hard on Zayn's arm, making him stand up. "Alright, Alright I'm up. Let me change real quick so we won't be late." He said putting his hand in the air.

Lauren and Zayn made up Starbucks day on Wednesday. The insisted of going to Starbucks every Wednesday and ordering something different every time. Sometimes they stayed at Starbucks and other times they would come home to enjoy their day.

"I'm so glad that we came back home with our drinks. Starbucks was over crowded today." Zayn said rolling his eyes.

As they got home, they sat on the couch watching old movies until it got dark. Lauren and Zayn were sitting right next to each other, knees touching, while eating popcorn.

"Tomorrow is my birthday." Zayn said excitedly.

"No freaking way Zayn! Why didn't you tell me sooner." Lauren said a little shocked.

"Well I thought you wouldn't care anyways. " Zayn said looking at the ground.

Lauren lift his chin up so he was facing her. "Zayn, you do know that I care about you a lot right? You're not alone. I'm here with you, and I'm always gonna be here." She said looking right into his eyes.

"Thanks a lot Lauren. I don't know what I would do without you" he said hugging lauren.

----------------------

The next day, early morning Lauren got dressed and went out to but Zayn a present. She travelled to all kind of stores until she found the perfect present for him. She drove back to the house, and quietly prepared the living room. Zayn was still sleeping and she was trying to be as quiet as possible. She was tying green and white balloons all around and threw confetti everywhere. She hung a happy birthday sign right across the entrance and laid the cake on the coffee table along with his gift.

Zayn woke up a couple minutes late to Lauren singing happy birthday to him. He was shirtless in the bed, smiling like an idiot. Lauren blindfolded him and brought him to the living room.

When she took the blindfold of him, he was shocked than ever. Nobody had ever done this much to him in his life. Not even his ex-bandmates. He started to tear up a bit.

"No way!!" Zayn yelled in excitement.

He unwrapped his gift and was speechless to see a golden watch that played all of his favourite songs.

He immediately turned and picked up Lauren hugging her as tight as ever. They were both laughing nonstop.

His face slowly approached her. Her lips almost touching his. They could feel their breaths on each other. Zayn gazed at Lauren's emerald eyes which he could never get bored of. Their lips were inches away. They were both smiling and staring at each other. Zayn redirected his lips to her ear and whispered. "Let's eat cake."

------------

Lauren woke up the next day extra early. She tried to go back to sleep but she couldn't so she decided to go out for a little walk.

Lauren started to think about her friends and family. He missed them a lot, but she didn't want to contact any of them yet. She loved spending time with Zayn. It was something special. It felt like they were out together and were made for each other.

She was walking down the deserted street all alone. As she was walking she saw Brad in the corner other eye, walking down the same street. She saw him making out with another girl while hugging her tightly. Lauren filled with anger. She was upset. She quickly stormed of and took another route and went home.

When Lauren arrived at her and Zayn's house, she busted into Zayn's room.

"Zayn! I saw Brad! He was..." Lauren paused as she saw the bed empty. She went all around he house but Zayn was nowhere to be found. He was gone.

Lauren immediately called his cellphone about 20 times, but he never answered.

Lauren went back to her room and sat on her bed. She was more than worried. Lauren stood up and went to he window. She noticed a little white note with a rose on top of it. She opened it.

Dear Lauren

I don't know where to start. I said I wasn't going to hurt you anymore, but now I am. It's not intentionally though. Kidnapping you was the best thing I ever did. Why? Because you ended up changing me. You brang happiness back into my life. You kept me company all through this time. At first you were like a best friend to me. But then everything changed. Truth is, I fell in love with the person I kidnapped. Lauren I swear, your the most beautiful girl that I ran to into my life. Your green emerald eyes. Your soft pink lips. Your life worthy smile. Your heart, soul, feeling are all beautiful. Everything about you is perfect. Every night I thought of you and every day I woke up with that smile knowing that I had another chance to see your perfect smile. The moment I almost kissed you, I had a billion butterflies inside. I wanted to kiss you and cuddle with you. I wanted you to be mine. But I know you have a boyfriend. You have a life. I can't let you fall in love with a bad boy with a bunch of tattoos like me. I know what you felt, but it's not right. I thank god everyday that you came into my life. Your all I ever need. I love you. But you won't see me again. Ever.

- Zayn M.
