After Anne came to get Harry and bring him home, I ran towards the bakery. It was really hard to act like nothing was wrong around Harry, because I really didn't need him worrying about me. I had so many emotions going through my head at once; confused, sad, grateful? Anna Lee was the one who saved me from being out on the street, when I had nothing she gave me a job, the one that got me where I am today. Me and Anna Lee looked out for each other when we had no one; when her kids never visited her, I did; when I needed a hand, she was there. She even said she would've adopted me if she knew me earlier. If I didn't have food for lunch, she would spare me a cupcake, If I had problems she would listen, If I needed someone she was there; it's safe to say we had a pretty close relationship. Now... I don't know what I'm going to do... I don't know if I'm going to accept that job offer.

It's flattering, but I don't know if I'm ready for that kind of responsibility, that kind of pressure, that kind of leadership. My eyes are filling with tears as I near the building where a police car is parked and caution tape is placed around the bakery.All of that made this situation just the more real. I slow down to a walk as I neared the bakery that's kept me living for the last couple of years, afraid to go inside and having to be an adult, ending my day of fun with Harry.

"Sorry, no one is allowed in the bakery until further notice", the police man standing outside the bakery with another police said looking up from his conversation.

"Oh, I'm Zayn Malik, and I got a call-"

"Oh, our bad, say no more just go on in, Officer May should be in there", He lifted the caution tape for me to go in.

"Thanks", I crossed over, before going in I wiped my eyes of any left over tears. Opening the door to Cute Cupcakes just gave me the chills, the sweet smelling, fun-filled, joyous environment was no more. I couldn't tell if it was because the lack of people or the sad situation I'm here for. I could even here some of my co-workers, the ones that cared for Anna Lee, outside trying to get in, but denied of access. The once spotless, lively bakery had chairs flipped over and a now dead atmosphere.

"There you are Mr.Malik, I was starting to think you weren't going to show", Officer May exclaimed from her seat at a table, patting the spot from across her for me to sit.

I walked over still in a daze, and sat across from her. You can tell she's done this many of times before from her poker face, Officer May had her short brown hair that reached just below her ears, and grey eyes that told she's been doing this for a long time. "Nice to meet you, Officer May", I put on a the best fake smile I could pull and introduced myself politely.

"It's fine, you don't have to put on that fake smile. Something like this is never easy for anyone.", she spoke politely, reading my mind and relaxing me,"So, let's start off on how Mrs. Lowell passed, she was found by one of your co-workers in her office face down in her paperwork. I would like to say there was a particular reason she died, but it seems she passed because of old age. Since it seems you were the closest to her, does her children stay in contact with her? It seems as which she has two children, but when called they didn't answer and she left nothing in her will for them."

"I wish I could say her children tried to stay in contact, but truth be told I believe they haven't spoken to her in ten years. I-I really hope they show up", I ended the sentence feeling emotional.

"We all do too. So on to her Will, she clearly states here," she pulls out,what I'm assuming,is her Will from the stack of papers she had,"That she's basically leaving everything too you, including her house,Cute Cupcakes, and her left over money for a car; all to you if you accept it", she looked up from the papers.

"I-I uh, I thought about this on the way here and I think I'll accept it, if I can give her a proper burial..."

....

Me, Harry, Anne, Niall, and Josh were all standing by the freshly piled grave, the head stone won't be in for a week, so we're saying our condolences. I'm pretty sure I'm the most emotional one here, considering I had  the best relationship with Anna Lee, but none the less my family is here to support me.

I laid down my bouquet of her favorite flowers, lilies, and knelt down beside the grave,"Anna Lee you were the grandma I never had and the support I always needed. You helped me when times were rough and when times were great. I wish I would've had the honor to spend many of more years with you and had introduced you to my boyfriend, Harry, may you rest in peace with Mr.Lowell.", I finished off with tears now flowing down my face, I didn't move from my spot kneeling down as Niall came and joined me kneeling as well.

Niall knew Anna Lee almost just as well, considering they've met about twenty times. "We may not have known each other for very long, but from the moments I've met you, you welcomed me in your life like your own son. You are and were the strongest woman I've met, thank you for accepting me in your family", Niall finished off, placing a cheap rosary down, knowing not to buy an expensive one, considering people like to steal in this neighborhood. I tightened my black coat around me that went all the way to my knees, my face was flushed from the harsh wind and crying. Anna Lee also asked to be placed my her husband in her will, so that's exactly where she was.

Harry knelt down next to me and hooked his arm in mine,"I wish i could've known you Mrs.Anna  Lee, you seemed like a very lovely person", Harry placed down a flower crown made of real lilies which made me burst out in tears all over again. Niall got up and took me away from the area letting me sob on his shoulder.

"Harry, I don't know if now is a good time-", Niall started, but I interrupted him.

"No, it's fine", I lifted my head off Niall's shoulder and wiped my tears as Niall walked back to Josh. I took Harry in my arms and held him to me,"Thank you baby, for showing up and making that flower crown for Anna. You are so brave and lovely."I looked in his eyes, kissing him sweetly, not a kiss of lust,but a sweet innocent kiss. "You look so lovely today", I finally said. Harry was dressed in a black v-neck and black skinny jeans with a bright pink coat and black flower crown, he is so cute even on a day like this.

"Thanks Zaynie", Harry said looking down.

"C'mon lets go, your mom is waiting for us", I said taking his hand in mine and fixing my flower crown on my head.

"I love you, Angel", I told Harry and kissed his hair.

"Love you too, my Zaynie"

Today may not have been a happy one, but it brought me to see one thing.

I had a family that truly cared about me.

....

A chapter I can say that I'm proud of and Zayn defiantly finds himself and the people he loves.

Wow, I uploaded twice in one week, Yaayyy
