Johannah, Argument and Gigi

Zayn's POV

"Bhaiya, the guests will be here any minute!" I heard Safaa's voice.

"Yeah. Goodnight Saf."

"WAKE UP ZAYN! LUCY WILL BE HERE ANY MINUTE AND-"

Suddenly the bell rang, interrupting mum in mid-sentence.

I heard mum's footsteps run across the house followed by a number of voices talking to each other.

"Bhaiya, wake up!"

"Yeah Saf, just one second."

"Time's up!" I hear her say.

"Gosh Saf, you literally gave me just one second!"

I heard a giggle making me smile. I've always loved to make her even a bit happy.

I got up, and decided to go downstairs to greet the guests before mum kills me.

"C'mon Saf, let's go."

Safaa nodded.

We both went downstairs, the sound of chattering filled the main hall.

As soon as I entered the room, I met with a pair of green eyes instantly recognising them.

Iris.

"H-hey. Uhm, I mean, hi. Hello Mrs.-" I stopped in mid-sentence, realising that I still don't know their last name. So instead, I just decided to go with what I knew. "-Lucy. Welcome to the Malik house!" I gave her my signature smile that could even make Satan blush.

But Satan is like 'male'. And I think that he is straight so..

Ugh, males can blush too.

But that's not the point! Shut up!

"Awh, you've got a handsome kid Tri." she said to my mum.

"Iris, he looks almost of your age. Why don't you hang out with him instead of getting bored here in this elderly talk?" Her mum suggested.

"But mom! I-"

"Iris." Her mum stared at her like a strict mother does.

"Okay!"

Iris got up from her seat and was about to leave the room when she turned towards her mum. She was about to say something but stopped, thinking it over and left without a word.

And I swear, I saw her mum wink at her.

Her mother too? But then, Iris's father? Does that mean, bi?

Damn you, shut up! It was code language! Like she was signaling her to do something?

Poison you.

It's scary that people like you are allowed to vote.

I am you.

Ugh, go home man! Earth is full. Shooo!

Someone is not in a good mood.

I sense something very very bad happening, very soon.

Like very very very soon

I heard my phone ring.

Tommo

"Louis." I breathed.

I quickly accepted the phone call.

"Zayn." I heard a sob.

"Louis? What happened Lou?" I asked worriedly.

Louis wasn't the one to cry over little things. What could've happened?

"Zayn, mum!"

"Louis! Listen! Stop crying and tell me what happened to Johannah?"

"Mum-" he sobbed, "-leukeamia".

"What? Louis! Tell me clearly, what happened to Johannah? Leukaemia what?" I asked, my voice almost cracking.

"She died Zayn. Sh-she left me alone! She died Zayn! SHE FUCKING DIED!"

"Louis, bro, calm down. Shhhh. Please bro. You gotta stay strong. You can't break now. You've got your family. Think about your sisters and dad."

"No Zayn! NO! She can't leave me! Blood Cancer, Zayn, Blood Cancer! My fault, I didn't notice. I should've noticed! She was losing weight and had rashes on her skin! But she told me that she'll be fine soon and I just kept on nodding! I kept on nodding till she died! I-I-I, she was, Zayn," there was a long pause before I heard Louis speak again, "I'll miss her Zayn."

"It'll be fine Louis. Stay strong buddy. Do you want me to come there? I'll be over within hours. You wait, just-"

"Zayn, it's fine. Thanks."

"Yeah okay Lou. Stay strong. Call me if you need to talk to someone. I'm always there bro."

"Bye Zayn."

"Bye Lou. Remember, stay strong for her."

"Yeah"

"I'm proud of you Louis and I bet Johannah is too. Bye."

I ended the phone call. Johannah and I always had been good friends. In Fact, I was much more close to her than I was to Louis.

But past can't be undone. I just hope she rests in peace.

"Zayn, go upstairs with Iris. Show her your favourite bands or songs." Mum ordered

"Yeah, mom"

I directed Iris towards my room. We reached the room and I motioned her to sit on the bed while I sat on the sofa beside the bed.

After a couple of awkward minutes, she took out her phone and began doing something.

Way to make it more awkward Iris.

Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind.

Must have been a lonely journey for the thought

No time for jokes.

As I was saying, Iris knows Louis. Like not personally but she knows him as a singer. So I think I should tell her about his mum's death. Should I?

I think I should.

Suddenly she looked up from the phone.

"Louis's mom is no more." We both said in unison.

Cue awkward silence.

The directioners are quite fast though. It must've been known by every person by now.

"Yeah." She said.

"Enough of this awkwardness, just tell me. What wrong did I do that you're ignoring me like a piece of shit?" I asked, not being able to bear the curiosity anymore.

"You-you don't know?"

"What do I not know?"

"Your message. Don't act innocent Zayn!"

"Yeah, I asked you to tell me the guy's name. Indeed I insisted but how can you actually be angry for that!?"

"Insisted? You called me a bitch! And God knows what else!" She said.

"What? I didn't!"

"You did man, don't lie. See." She motioned towards her phone. I saw hers and mine text conversation.

"What? W-When?" I stuttered.

"Those are not my words! I didn't send that!" I said.

"See? And you don't expect me to be angry? What did you say? For the name and fame or just to fuck me? Damn you Zayn, I thought you were different. My fault. All guys are the same! I thought-I thought you were the guy I-I l-loved. But no! You proved me wrong. You want me to think that you didn't send that? Huh? Well sorry about that Zayn, you need to prove it to me. I don't trust you, not anymore."

"B-But, Iris?"

"No! Just, no." She whispered the last word, leaving the room.

Who could've sent the message from my phone? Because I sure as hell cannot send that to Iris.

Didn't they feel guilty? Or even a bit bad?

Guilt. That reminds me, it couldn't have been, could it?

I opened my contact's list.

My pulse fastened as I tapped the call button.

"Hello, Gigi?"

-----------

This story is going no where. I need to re-think the plot and present situation.

And RIP Johannah. This chapter is for Lou's amazing mom.

By the way, I won't be updating till Wednesday, science exam.

Anyways, any thoughts of what would happen next?
