Chapter 36
-Zayn-
"Give me one day," Saige blurts. I furrow my eyebrows.
"What?"
Saige sighed. "Give me-- us one day to pretend everything is okay." She explained. "Please," She begged.
Never in my life have I seen Saige this vulnerable. She looked beautiful even with the circles under her eyes. I wish I haven't left back to the UK, I could've stayed with her and none of this would have happened. Everything always seems to never go to plan.
"Okay," I murmured.
I watched as Saige's eyes lit up. It made me smile.
"You've got four hours, Miller." I added. "Impress me."
"Aye, aye, captain."

Mt. Diablo by The Story So Far began to play softly from the car speakers.
"Something new," I commented. "I didn't know you listened to rock?" I furrowed my eyebrows. Saige shrugged.
"Alison has been playing it a bunch." She tapped her fingers to the beat onto the steering wheel.
We stayed silent the whole ride. It felt nice. The silence felt nice. It made me realize how much I missed this. How we would play music and drown into the bass and treble. How her perfume seemed to be the only thing I could smell. I wasn't even holding her hand, but I felt warm.
"Where are you taking us?" I asked, bringing the volume down.
"I have a place in mind, but I'm not sure if I want to go there just yet." She bit her lip.
"You've got to impress me," I smirked.
"I know," She laughed. "Don't give up on me." She softly smiled.
"I won't."

Fanfiction"we're all a little broken, and that's okay." I haven't seen him, talked to him, or even heard of him since that day. I've pushed people away, because they couldn't fill in that emptiness I felt inside when he wasn't there. I feel broken.
