31. Empty?

"Any news on Harry?" Zayn looks hopefully at his mother who is now placing his clothes on the hospital bed.

It's been two days since Zayn got to know about Harry and still there's no news on Harry. Shawn said that there's a lock on Harry's apartment and he hasn't returned home yet. To say Zayn is worried for both his husband and daughter, would be an understatement.

"No, sunshine. No news." Trisha smiles at him sadly before kissing his forehead. "Go get changed, yeah? We are leaving."

Zayn sighs but nods at her. He is happy that he finally got discharged. Now he can find Harry.

Quietly, he take the clothes and pads his way down to the bathroom.

He really wish, Harry is okay.

"Do you really not want me to come with you?" Trisha asks him in concern as she parks the car in front of Zayn and Harry's apartment building.

"Yeah, mum. Don't worry. I am okay." Zayn gives her an assuring smile.

"Are you sure?"

"Mum."

"Alright, alright." His mother chuckles before hoding out a bunch of keys in front of him. "Here, the apartment keys. Harry gave them to me before leaving."

"He came to you?" Zayn asks, surprised. Trisha sighs but nods nonetheless.

"Yeah. He came to pick Aleeza, remember? I tried to ask him where he's going but all he said that he needs to go."

"Did he-did he say anything?" The hazel eyed lad asks hopefully.

"He said to tell you that there's something for you in the apartment." The mother smiles at him, sadly.

Zayn nods before taking the keys and gets out of the car. He waves at his mom as he sees her driving away.

Taking a deep breath, he looks up at the building and sighs.

"Where are you, Haz?"

****

A familiar homey smell instantly fills his nose as soon Zayn opens the apartment door. He never knew, he could miss a place this much. Hell, he never knew he could miss a person as much he's missing Harry right now.

He feels empty.

He scans the apartment and a smile instantly creeps on his face when he remembers the first time he entered the apartment with Harry, after their marriage.

----------------

"So I guess that's where we'd be living now." He told Harry as he looked around the bare apartment.

"Well, I guess that's what your father said. We're husbands duh!" Harry replied in a 'duh' tone before putting down another box on the floor.

"Yeah, yeah." Zayn rolled his eyes. "Well, I guess it wouldn't be bad. We used to share an apartment in Universities."

"Yeah, I guess." Harry smiles at him softly. "Except, this time we're married."

"Whatever." Zayn rolled his eyes again before walking out of what seemed like the living room. "Look, I am gonna take the room on the left. You take the room on the right."

"Wait, aren't we supposed to share a room?" Zayn looked over his shoulder only to find Harry frowning in confusion.

"Well yeah. But it's not like we're gonna act like real couples Haz. We're still the best friends and I like to have my privacy. So yeah." The hazel eyed man shrugged.

"Ye-Yeah. Sure. I'll take the room on the right then." Harry gave him sad smile before he quickly wiped it away with a grin. "Now hurry up you dork! We need to arrange everything then go to buy more furnitures."

"God no. You arrange them. I am too tired to do them." Zayn groaned and takes a seat on thd floor.

"Yeah yeah, mister Lazy pants. Now get your flat arse up from the floor and help me." Harry rolled his eyes again when he saw Zayn giving him an offended look.

"My arse is not flat."

"It is."

"Is not."

"It is. At least flatter than Louis'." Harry smirked when Zayn groaned in annoyance.

"Fine! You won." Zayn groaned. "Now let's start arranging the things."

"Sure, Z."

--------------------------

Zayn enters Aleeza's room firs, that once used to be his room. His heart aches when he finds it empty of any baby things. No soft toys laying haphazardly on the floor or the bay clothes scattered all around the room. And it feels suffocating.

He looks around the room and feels like he can still her little giggles. Her softly saying "ba-ba" whenever he plays with her and all these things are making him want to cry. He picks up her little pillow from the empty cot and kisses it. The baby scent is still present in there. He shakes his head when he feels the tears pooling around his eyes.

He can't break down.

He needs to be strong.

So he gently puts the pillow in it's place and walks out of the room.

He then enters the bedroom, in a false hope to see Harry reading a book or playing with Aleeza on the bed, but all he sees is an empty bed. He walks towards it and frowns when he sees something laying on the bed.

"What's this?" He mumbles to himself before picking up the papers and his heart instantly picks up its speed when he sees what papers they are.

The divorce papers signed by both of them.

"No!" Zayn whispers to himself. "You can't do this, Harry." He drops the papers on the floor before sitting at the edge of the bed, with his head in his hand.

"God Haz. Why are you so stupid when it comes to us?" He mutters as he fists his hair in frustration.

He looks down on the floor and squints his eyes in surprise when he sees an envelope peeking out in between the pages. Gently, he bends down and picks it up. He opens the envelope and frowns in confusion as he finds a folded paper, what looks like a letter in it. Impatiently, he opens the letter and instantly recognise the handwriting.

Harry.

Zayn,

If you are reading this, then this means that you have been discharged from the hospital and okay. I know you don't remember anything that happened between us after your previous accident. I know, for some reasons unknown to me, you may still hate me or think that I have cheated on you but I swear I didn't. I didn't think you'd like to see Aleeza, so I am taking her with me.

There's the divorce papers, if you want a divorce and start a new life, you can file them if you want.

I don't know if you'd ever want to see me or even want to see Aleeza. But if you ever remember the moments we spent together, if you ever want to meet me - just know that, you'll find in the places that we've never been.

You'll find me in the region of the summer stars.

Love you as always.

All the love. Harry
