Eternal Love

Chapter 15

~Amber's P.O.V.~

When we got back home, I decided to help Zayn cook dinner. Tonight was spaghetti, and I couldn't wait to find out what special twist he had on it. Instead of using regular beef for the meatballs, he used sausage..... While we were eating dinner, I decided that I wanted to know more about my past. Like friends, family, my job, anything really. I didn't even realize that I had started to cry until Zayn pointed it out.
"What's wrong love?" I wiped away the tear that had rolled down my cheek and dried my eyes.
"I want to know more," I said as another tear fell, "about my past." He looked a little startled because it was random, but then relaxed.
"Well, what do you want to know to start off?" He asked.
"Did we have a lot of friends?" I asked.
"I wouldn't say a lot, maybe 6 or 7. But Elizabeth was almost as close to you as I was." Elizabeth?
"Who's Elizabeth?" I asked and sniffled.
"Well, we met her when she moved here in grade 3," he started, "she was a very nice girl, and we all hung out a lot. Even when the band and I went on tour, we still managed to keep in touch. She's our age, and we went through the rest of school together. Before you moved in with me, you actually had an apartment with her." he finished. I felt my eyes start to water, and then I asked another question.
"Well, where is she now?"
"She lives here, but much closer to town," Zayn replied.
"Can I meet her?" I ask.
"Sure, I don't see why not. Are you sure that you're ready to?" Zayn said. I really didn't know if I was ready, but I know that I want to know more about my life. I nodded my head, and then finished my spaghetti. When we were done, Zayn did the dishes. I decided to ask another question.
"Zayn," I said.
"Yes love?" He replied.
"Were the other friends we had the rest of your band?" I asked.
"Mostly yes, would you like to meet them too?"
"I don't know," I said. "I don't want to go to fast with any of this, I'm still kinda getting used to the idea of being married," I said. He nodded with a grin, and then went back to the dishes. I'm really glad he is understanding with all of this and that he doesn't want to rush me. That's what I like about him. "Do we have Elizabeth's number?" I asked.
"Yeah, actually I think it's in the contacts in your phone," he said as he finished washing the silverware. I went upstairs and grabbed my phone. We was right, she was in the contacts. I stared at it for a minute, and then looked at the rest of my contacts. Zayn. Duh. Harry, Liam, Louis, Niall. The rest of the boys. I looked at my text messages. A lot of them were to either Elizabeth or Zayn. I looked at the ones from Elizabeth.

*Text from 3 months ago*

From Elizabeth:
Hey, do you and Zayn wanna catch a movie with the rest of the boys?

To Elizabeth:
Sure, when? xoxo

From Elizabeth:
How about Tuesday?

To Elizabeth:
Sure, sounds like a plan! See ya then :)

I walked back upstairs to see Zayn.
"Zayn, what was the day that I got in the accident?" I asked.
"The 17th of February," he replied. I looked at the text. It was from Saturday, the 15 of Febraury. I started to cry. I didn't even remember my best friend. Why did this have to happen to me? Zayn saw me and the looked at the phone. He picked it up and read the texts. He set it down and the wrapped me in his embrace.
"I didn't go without you," he said. I already knew that he wouldn't go without me, but still.
"Were they worried when we didn't show up to the movie?" I asked with tears still in my eyes.
"Yes, very. Harry called me about 50 times before I answered and told him what had happened. The rest of them called before that too, but I didn't answer. After Harry found out I think he told everyone else because they stopped calling. They would text and ask if you were doing okay but I didn't text back either. I just didn't know what to tell them." I cried a little more, and then stopped. These people that I can't even remember were worried about me. They care about me. they were worried when the accident happened. I don't know why, but the thought of that made me feel just a little bit better.
