Fix You

Chapter 22

*Lucy's POV*

Zayn woke me up the next day with breakfast and after watching some TV for a while, we went to the park he had told me about yesterday. So here we are, sitting on a bench and waiting for Lily to show up. Zayn had bought his camera and he was now taking pictures of both me and the children running around in the park. I found it really cute that he had this big love for children, if my Lily still were alive he would've loved her.

"There she is!" Zayn said excitedly, pulling me out of my thoughts "Look, she's coming over"

I looked at where he pointed, and sure enough there was the little girl he'd shown me pictures of yesterday, running towards us.

"Hi Zayn" she smiled brightly up at him. Omg she was so cute! She was wearing a purple t-shirt with butterflies together with some green shorts and tiny shoes. 

"Hi Lily" Zayn cooed and pinched her cheek.

"Who is that" she asked and pointed at me with a big smile.

"I'm Lucy" I answered and gave her my hand to shake.

"I like you. You're pretty" she said while shaking my hand violently.

"Thank you" I laughed "So are you"

"Are you Zayn's girlfriend too?"

I blushed since Zayn and I didn't really had a label on 'us' yet, and even though I would like to say yes I couldn't really do that "No honey, I'm not that lucky"

I felt Zayn's eyes on me, but I avoided looking at him for obvious reasons.

"I think you should be his girlfriend instead of me. You're pretty together"

"You think so?" I asked with a smile.

"Yes" she said and smiled even bigger, shoving that she missed a tooth, and turned to Zayn as her face became serious " 'M sorry Zayn, but I don't wanna be your girlfriend anymore"

I looked at Zayn and had to cough to hide a laugh, he was pulling a sad face and it looked quite funny.

"Oh no, what am I gonna do now?" he fake cried and hid his face in his hands.

"You'll be okay. I gotta go now, bet my mummy is looking for me" she said "Bye Lucy, bye Zayn" and with that she ran away from us again.

"Omg she was so cute!" I said happily and looked at Zayn with a smile.

Zayn just smiled back at me while playing with his hands. I looked at where Lily had ran to and saw her together with a tall beautiful lady, probably her mom.

"Do you want that?" he suddenly asked.

"Want what?" I asked confused.

"You know... Being my girlfriend" his cheeks were slightly red and his eyes showed how nervous he actually was.

"Do you want that?"

"Of course I do, Lucy" he said with a shy smile.

"Well, then yes" I whispered and leaned in to kiss him. His hands cupped my face and I placed mine on his shoulders.

"Thanks princess" he whispered back as he pulled away. I took his hand and we sat at the park for another hour before we decided to head back to my place.

I was a bit tired since today had been a bit of a rough day for me, emotionally. That Lily girl reminded me so much of my sister, not only in the way she was beaming with happiness, but they way she looked and acted. That only made me think of how my Lily would have been today if she didn't die. Maybe she would be more like they way I was before I met Zayn since she had gotten older, or maybe she would just be like she was then. Kind to everybody.
