CHRISTMAS EVE

Another day without Zayn...it was Christmas Eve. I woke up to Christmas songs and lots of noise. I looked out through my window and saw snow, trees and parcels. When I ran downstairs, I saw a beautiful Christmas tree at the middle....along with Linda and Rina. They were wearing coats, gloves and boots.

"Beth, you won't have any modelling shoots until the sixteenth of January. By the way, where's your boyfriend" she asked in confusion. I couldn't reply.

"I haven't seen him in two months and fifteen days" she said. I sighed and tried to blink my tears back in.

"That's a pretty precise calculation" Jessi said and laughed.

"I miss him" I said to myself.

"I heard that. What happened him" Linda asked and walked up to me. I hugged her tightly. I didn't feel like talking about it. If I had spoken, I would have drowned in a pool of tears.

DARK HOUR
     Zayn was in his room looking at a screen. He was watching Beth from the screen and had a pitiful expression on. Safana and another one of his mates came into the room.

"Who are you watching?" Safana asked and turned his chair around to face her. Zayn switched off the screen.

"My girlfriend" he said like a bad boy and shrugged. 'seriously?' was written all over her face.

"So you're telling me that all this time you've been missing, you've been on earth, snuggling and kissing?" asked Safana like a mother.

"Yeah" said the boy out of nowhere - pointing at Zayn.

"Why do you make it sound so disgusting?" Zayn asked and rolled his eyes.

"I suppose that girl taught you how to roll your eyes" Safana said and rolled her eyes. All of a sudden, they heard a giant sound.

"Father" the boy whispered. They all ran to form a horizontal line. Their father came into the room still - with his head up. His face has never been seen. In fact, Zayn Park is the only one who has seen it. Safana looked at Zayn surreptitiously.

"What's all the hooba hoba about?" the giant asked in anger. Safana fakely smiled.

"Hey, Happy Christmas Eve everyone. You know what? Let's go prepare for Christmas tomorrow. Right Zayn?" the boy said and winked. Zayn folded his arms and had a disappointed face on. The boys face quickly adjusted and he walked with Safana. The giant looked down on Zayn who looked deep in thoughts.

"What do you want Zayn? What exactly do you want?" the giant asked. Zayn sighed.

"There's this girl-"

"I thought you weren't cut out for love" the giant said.

"Well dad, I've learnt my lesson" Zayn said and smiled.

"And that's?" the giant asked

"Anyone can fall in love" Zayn said deeply.

"So what do you want?" the giant said in a loud voice.

"Anything?" Zayn asked.

"Yes" the giant said. Zayn smiled and nodded.

"I want you to..."

     I was in my room, looking at the picture book Zayn had given me as a present. When I was beginning to get in the moment, I heard my door bell ring.

'So people still use door bell' I said in my mind and got off bed. I went to my living room and unlocked the door. I saw my sister holding a parcel and smiling. I just opened my mouth in shock. I did not know how to react so I just hugged her.

"YOU'RE BACK" I shouted in excitement. She nodded in excitement and stepped into the apartment. She looked around and turned to me in disappointment.

"I'm guessing Zayn isn't back yet. Is my guess right?" she said calmly. I tried to look okay - but I wasn't.

"You don't have to guess that Kate" I said in annoyance. Kate sighed and touched my shoulder.

"You know what? Let's go somewhere and have fun. Take your mind off Zayn and have fun" Kate said and started to swing my hands left and right.

"You're the one who brought him up" I said effortlessly. Kate cleared her throat.

"I'm sorry but really, I wish I could spend Christmas with him. It would be his first Christmas on earth" Kate said like she was fantasizing something.

"You know earth isn't that different from Dark Hour. It's just that Dark Hour is.... dark" I said and sighed.

"Yeah. But you know, either ways, Zayn would have appreciated our concern" she said and I nodded in thoughts. Was Zayn really going to miss Christmas with me?

"Chop chop. Cheer up. Let's go to an event. Masquerades are showing up there today" my sister said and tried to light up the atmosphere. She clapped her hands to catch my attention. I tried to smile and I approached the door.

"By the way Beth, Dark Hour eight is on sales" Kate said slowly. Once I heard that, I was so flabbergasted. I screamed and ran to shake my sister's back and forth.

"WHAT DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT FIRST WHEN YOU GOT HERE?!!!" I shouted at her.

"BECAUSE I KNEW YOU'D ATTACK ME LIKE THIS!!!"

"WELL, LET'S GO!!!" I shouted and ran to the door.

"Where to exactly!" she asked.

"To get the book. We're getting the book first" I said and made it clear as I ran out the door of the apartment.

As Kate and I were on our way to the bookshop, I ran knowing we were getting closer but - there was a problem. There was a long queue at the front of the bookshop. The place was crazy.

"Still getting the book?" Kate said like we couldn't do it. I clenched fists and ran to the front.

"BETH" Kate shouted and ran after after me. As I got to the front, a girl was about to hit me until I held her hand. Before I knew it, all eyes were on me.

"IT'S BETHANY HALLOWAY AND KATHERINE HALLOWAY!!!" a girl from the crowd shouted then everyone started screaming.

"BETHANY IS ZAYN S GIRLFRIEND" another girl shouted then everyone screamed louder and started taking pictures. Before I knew it, they made way for Kate and I to get the book. I smiled at Kate and ran in. That's when I understood why people were rushing. The books weren't that anymore in the store. A lot of people had bought it and if it finished, they'd have to look for another shop that sells Dark Hour. I bought three books of Dark Hour eight. I gave one to Kate and took one. When I went out of the shop, I threw the last book into the crowd for someone to take. Of course, people started to scream and fight themselves but I didn't care. It was my Christmas gift to whoever caught it.

On our way to the event, I opened the book. As I reading, I was shocked. Why was I shocked?

Just as Zayn had said, whoever the author was always wrote reality. I saw my name in the book. The line I read was one hundred percent correct. I never really hated Zayn. I was too shocked to the extent that I dropped the book.

"Beth, are you okay?" Kate asked me instantly. Yes, I was shocked but not to the extent that I was trembling. I looked around and saw that we were at the beach. As I picked the book and took another step - I felt the vibration again.

'What is happening to me?' I thought. It was just the first time. I looked up to the sky and saw something like a tiny portal. I started to see flashes of all the times Zayn and I had spent together. Just then, I felt the spark.

"Spark?" I asked myself and gasped. It struck me in my heart but it wasn't that intense anymore. That's when the weirdest thing happened. I felt it on my palms. It took me to my knees.

"BETH!!!" Kate shouted and ran to me. She tapped me continuously.

"Should I call a doctor?" Kate asked and ran into the beach in search of someone that could attend to me. I didn't look at Kate anymore. I started to think of what was happening to me and looked around for Zayn. Yes, it was just like the first time we met.

I felt the spark again on my palms - only that this time, when I looked at my palms, I could literally see the spark on my palms.... and on the book....

YOU HAVE COME TO THE END OF SPARK.💗💗
I SINCERELY HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS SWEET STORY 😊 THANK YOU FOR READING AND DON'T FORGET TO...
