Through the Dark
Is He Okay?
“Okay here we are. I had a great time Sara.”
“Me too.” Like the movies at the end of a date we seem to be like magnets. Slowly moving in for the kiss. His warm lips on mine makes up my mind about Zayn. I will forget about him and focus on this. Things get steamy when there’s a knock on my window.
“Are you really sucking face outside the apartment? Girl you’re bad!”
“Oh my god Debbie! It’s called privacy!” I yell at her through the window.
“William can you please let my friend out I need her help.” She says still knocking on the glass.
“Okay,” he laughs “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Bye.” I get out of the car and Debbie is laughing sitting on the front stairs “Really Debbie what is so important that you needed to interrupt my fairytale ending?”
“Well Ryan is coming back tomorrow and I need your help with the party. Plus I have some news for us.”
We stayed up till 12 getting food, drinks, and guest lists ready. On my way to bed she finally tells me the news and what the party is for. Turns out she’s pregnant and want’s to tell him in a way he won’t forget. Now I know why she has the pink and blue balloons on her list. I congratulate her and head to bed. Drifting into sleep I get awakened by my phone that she must have put on my night table. I look at it and it’s a text from Zayn.
‘Hey Sara are you angry with me? You haven’t returned my calls or messages. I’m purchasing my plane ticket now to head down to see you. I miss you. I want to hold you in my arms.’
“Oh my god.” I sit up and turn on my lamp to text him back. ‘Don’t bother coming back. I know about you and Perrie Edwards. How can you lie to my face? Stay there and have her keep you company. I don't want to see you.’ I turn off my phone and go to sleep.
Morning comes and I wake up with a huge headache and dried tears. Slowly getting ready for the day I turn on my phone waiting to hear the tone of my messages, ready for an explanation. But I hear nothing and figure he got the message to leave me alone. My day with William was remarkable. He said and did everything with passion and I’m starting to fall for him, again. Weeks pass and I forget everything about Zayn. His smile, his laugh, his eyes all disappear being replaced by Williams.
“So you got 3 more months, are you ready to be a father?” I ask Ryan who is running back and forth from the living room to the kitchen.
“Ryan do we have some chocolate?”
“I’m ecstatic. Coming honey.” He takes my Hersey’s from my hand and runs to Debbie.
“Hey! Your welcome.”
“Thanks!” he yells from across the room.
I lick the chocolate that’s left on my fingers and go to my room. I lie on my bed and take out my journal when my phone rings. I grab it thinking its William. “Who’s this?” I look at the weird number on my phone.
‘Hey is this Sara?’ it reads.
‘Who wants to know?’ I turn the pages of my thoughts and dreams to find an empty page ready for my feelings.
‘This is Harry. Remember me from Los Angeles? Can I call you?’
“Harry?” seconds later my phone rings and I know its Harry.
“Hello?”
“Hi Sara sorry to bother you but I think we need to talk.”
“Bout what?” I close my book and sit up on my bed.
“Zayn.”
“Oh wow hi. Uh what’s going on?” all my memories of the guys come back, even the ones I blocked out.
“Well I know things went wrong with you and Zayn and I thought you should know how he’s doing.”
“Okay.” I roll my eyes at the thought of him.
“He’s in bad shape ever since that night he broke up with Perrie. He keeps taking about how he ruined his relationship with you and how he wants a second chance. But he’s too scared to do anything.”
“And he’s too late as well. I have a boyfriend now. He’s sweet, caring, and never lies to me. Ever.”
“Really? So Zayn..”
“Is out of the picture. I have nothing to say to him.” I stand up and pace around my room trying not to cry.
“Can you at least consider..”
“Harry he hurt me. No words can describe how I felt when I found out about the Perrie situation. All my memories of him holding me, kissing me, making me feel beautiful are all gone when I discovered he was cheating on his girlfriend with me.”
“I’m sorry about that but he really..”
“Of course you cannot understand where I’m coming from. I know it’s crazy how we only were together for a week but in that week I fell..” I let out a cry.
“What?”
“I fell in love with him. I gave him my heart, my everything. I gave him my virginity Harry! And I can’t ever get that back. And when I saw that he tricked me, I wondered to myself, what else did he say to me that was a lie?”
“Sara I’m really sorry that’s how you felt. I know Zayn and he would never lie to you just to get in your pants. He is very depressed and unhappy about what he did. I can’t get him out of this gloomy state and I worry about his life. He’s tried a few times to hurt himself and I’m scared that he will succeed.”
“What? He’s hurting himself?”
“Yes. He’s lost in his mind and I’m terrified of what’s to come. Please come and set him right.”
“I can’t.”
“Please Sara I have a round trip ticket for you to London. I’ll pay for your expenses and necessities. Just come and see him.”
“Okay.” I hang up the phone falling to the floor and start to cry.
“Me too.” Like the movies at the end of a date we seem to be like magnets. Slowly moving in for the kiss. His warm lips on mine makes up my mind about Zayn. I will forget about him and focus on this. Things get steamy when there’s a knock on my window.
