39: the news

"text me when youre home" i said as i gave zayn the biggest hug. we'd gone out for the evening and were on the tube home. he got off before me however.
"you too. love you" he mumbled into the crook of my neck.
"love you too dumb dumb" i smiled as he let go and the doors opened. he was off and i sat back down waiting for the next stop.

i texted harry back as he worried when i was out late but he was waiting near the station - the angel! i smiled when i saw him and gave him a hug. he kissed the top of my head and slipped his hand into mine as we headed home. we arrived and immediately went to bed, holding each other close.

when i awoke he was sitting next to me dressed, reading a book: he noticed i was awake and planted a soft kiss on my lips and asked how i was feeling. i told him i was okay which was the truth and then went to get ready for the day. i got into some loungewear then put on some eye liner and mascara and brushed down my hair before clipping my hair into a claw clip. harry watched me, a soft smile on his beautiful face.

"maya" he began.
"yes my love?" i replied.
"after breakfast...can i um...yknow..."
"can you what?" i looked up at him.
"oh uh yknow sometimes i just wanna...uh...can we just have a cuddle?"
i giggled. "yes please my love"

after breakfast harry and i had a cuddle while watching tv. a while later my phone rang so i stood up to answer it.

the words i heard collapsed my entire world and sobs left my mouth. my phone slid out of my hand and i dropped to the floor crying. harry was shocked at my sudden outburst and rushed to help me. he tried soothing me and calming me down but i couldn't.
"darling? darling whats wrong?" he asked, holding me while i cried my heart out.
"she's gone"
"who?" he asked, holding me close. i picked up my phone with my shaking hand and showed him the caller ID.
