Rosie's funeral was in an hour and no one had heard from Zayn, he had been messaged the details so everyone would just hope that he turned up.
Everyone was silent, doing things around the house getting ready for the funeral. Louise, Imy and Niall were cooking the food for the wake after when the funeral car turned up outside of the house. Along with the funeral car was the hearse and flower car. Everyone stood with a red rose in there hands as this was Rosie's favourite flower. One by one they all put the roses on top of the hearse and they got into the funeral cars that took them to the church.
When they got there people were already there, but there was still no sign of Zayn.
Harry, Niall, Liam, Louis all prepared themselves to carry in the coffin.
They carried the coffin down the aisle to Westlife. Everyone sat down and the service began.
Half way through the service the door opened, everyone turned around to see Zayn stood there. He stumbled into the church and sat down behind everyone else. Imy weakly smiled at Zayn and looked back to the front as the vicar carried on with his speech. As Courtney was her Rosie's closest friend she had prepared a speech for her. She got up and took a deep breath and wiped her tears away and walked up to the stand.
Speech
We are here to celebrate your life
And measure of its worth
And every single life you touched
While you were on thus earth
We wish to pay our last respects
That's why we are all here
To thank you for our friendship
Courtney started to cry
And all the memories we hold dear
It's been a privilege to have known you
We were family not just friends
And we will carry you in spirit
Until we meet up once again.
Courtney walked up to the coffin and held it
Courtney- Rosie, you have always been my best friend and you have always been there for me through everything, I still can't believe you have gone, it feels like your still here. I miss you so much, I will always love you Rose.
Courtney went back to her seat crying as the vicar asked anyone else if they were making a speech,
Zayn stood up and walked up to the front of the ceremony.
Imy- He's drunk
Imy whispered to Niall as
Zayn stood at the front for a few minutes and stared at everyone.
Zayn- Rosie! Well what can I say about Rosie? She has left me all on my own, killed my second child and left me to rot.
Louis and Liam quickly got up and got Zayn down from the stand.
Liam- Zayn, what do you think you're doing? We're here to celebrate Rosie's life.
Zayn sat back down and laughed at himself. He got a few dirty looks of some people but he was too drunk and depressed to care.
The wake after the funeral was held at Rosie's Uncle's club. This was where they first ever met Rosie so they thought they should hold the wake there. Everyone turned up at different times and when they all arrive they sat talking about all the old times with Rosie and celebrating her life. This was until Zayn turned up.
Zayn- LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!! WHY IS EVERYONE SO DEPRESSED??
Louise- Zayn, it's a wake for your wife... not a party.
Zayn- Oh shut up Louise! You're always the boring one
Aston- Zayn,don't talk to Louise like that or were just get you kicked out and we don't want to do that.
Zayn went over to the bar and ordered a round of drinks... for himself.
Imy- Guys what are we going to do with Zayn? We can't let him get himself into this state.
Marvin- Is there anything we can do? He was already drunk and is still drinking so he won't listen to anything we have to say?
Aston- Marv's right guys. We're just gonna have to keep our eyes on him.
Rochelle was getting some food when Archie ran up to her to tell her that Zayn had been horrible to him. Rochelle started to rant to Marvin about what had happened as she wasn't happy about it. After Marvin told her to just leave it, Rochelle went up to Zayn and asked him what had happened.
Zayn- Rochelle your kid is so fucking annoying and so are you leave me alone yeah?
By this time most of the people in the club had turned around and Marvin was now joining in.
Marvin - Zayn, we understand it's a hard day for you. But it is a hard down for all of us too. But DO NOT take it out on us. Everyone is dealing with it in there own way and that's fine but yours is just wrong, why are you even here?
Zayn- It's my wife's wake, why do you think I'm fucking here!
Louis- Zayn you turned up to the service late and drunk and you're still drinking now, I think you need to go home and sleep it off.
Louis went to usher Zayn out the door when he shrugged his hand of his shoulder and stormed out himself. Zayn was in a really bad place, he didn't know what to do.
He got into his car and drove to the beach and sat on the sand with a bottle of vodka.
He laid down looking at the stars, it was dark all he could hear was the waves peacefully crashing over the rocks. He burst into tears, all he could see was Rosie's face in the distance calling him.
Zayn- Rosie?
Zayn was imagining Rosie was there in front of him. He was believing everything she said. Zayn got up and followed the sound of her voice. He started walking to the edge of the sea and was closer to Rosie.
Rosie-Come on Zayn
Zayn-Rosie...
Zayn took a step and looked down, his left foot was now in the sea. He felt a cold shiver run through his body but he still carried on, no matter how cold he was starting to feel. He seemed to be walking further and further into the sea, still following Rosie but he didn't seem to be getting any closer.
-The next morning-
Niall had woke up first with Noah. He got his bottle ready and took Noah into the living room and sat down turning on the TV.
'HEADLINE NEWS'
BODY FOUND IN SANDY HOOK BAY'
Niall focused his attention more on the TV after noticing that the news was talking about the beach near to their house.
'THE BODY HAS NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED BUT THE PERSON WAS INTOXICATED WITH A LARGE AMOUNT OF ALCOHOL AND WAS SEEN BY RESIDENTS RUNNING INTO THE SEA AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO STOP HIM'
Niall dropped Noah's bottle and phoned Liam, Louis and Harry on a three way call.
Liam/Louis/Harry- Hello?
Niall- IT'S ZAYN... I THINK HE'S KILLED HIMSELF.
Liam- We are on the way to the house now.
Niall hung up the phone and fed Noah his bottle. Niall was panicking slightly and he was worried about what they were going to do. They had just arranged one funeral, they didn't need another, not this soon. Niall looked at the pot of ashes that were placed on the mantle piece. They were all waiting for Zayn to get over everything before they spread the ashes. They all thought that Zayn's alcohol problem would last a week or two, no-one thought he would kill himself. Aston and Louise came downstairs with Daisy while Niall was thinking.
Louise- Niall?
Niall- Huh?
Louise- I asked if you are okay?
Niall- Erm, yeah. Well actually no.
Aston- What's up man?
Niall nodded towards the television. The news was now on a live feed. Someone was stood in front of the beach and they were talking about the police carrying on their search. It was now confirmed that the individual had drowned themselves and that they were very intoxicated. However what didn't make sense to anyone was how the individual had ended up so far out. The news concluded and moved onto another news story.
Aston- Shit.
Louise- Do you think?
Niall nodded and shook his head.
Niall- What the fuck was going through his mind?
Louise and Aston shook their heads, they were speechless.
A few hours passed and everyone had gathered at the main house. There were all sat talking in the front room, but they had kept the news on, hoping that they would release more information, but every time the news mentioned it, it was the same story over and over again. They were all talking to one another about what was going to happen if it was Zayn.
NEWS- BREAKING NEWS. MORE INFORMATION ON THE DEATH ON SANDY HOOK BAY.
Everyone turned their attention back to the news. Aston turned the television up and everyone remained silent. Luckily Daisy and Noah were having a nap and therefore they were not around to make any noise, since they had become very playful now as they were getting older and developing their own personalities.
News reporter- Evidence has come around that the individual that was found this morning didn't walk into the sea and drown, but instead the male jumped off of the pier and hit the rocks below. This evidence has been found from the marks and the bruises on the males body. We are hoping that the male is named before the end of the day.
*Zayn's POV*
I laid on the sand of the beach. The bottle of Vodka laid in one hand and my other hand massaged the sand. The sand felt amazing between my toes. This was the first time that I have felt alive in a long time. Imagining losing your wife and your unborn child all in one day. Its hard. No-one understands that. No-one understands how that makes me feel. They all think that I am a drunken mess and that I am disrespectful. I know I made a fool of myself at the funeral, but I miss her. I love her.
I closed my eyes and behind my eyelids I saw a clear picture of Rosie. She was smiling her beautiful smile and she was looking down at me. I thought I could feel her touching my skin. I opened my eyes and there she was standing over me. Shock ran through my body. There she was my beautiful wife. Waiting in front of me. I smiled back and reached my hand out to touch her face. Feeling her skin under my hand felt perfect. I asked her why she was gone and she just smiled.
She started to ask me to follow her.
I quickly jumped up, still feeling the sand under my feet. I followed her into the sea. The feeling of the soft sand turning into the hard and wet sand made me feel very alive. I listened to Rosie's voice and closed my eyes, letting her voice guide me. Before I knew it I was hip deep in the sea. But when I reopened my eyes she was gone. I looked all around me. The last thing I saw was her swift hair disappearing behind the pier. I can't lose her again. I ran out of the water and towards the pier. I tripped over my empty Vodka bottle. I looked at it and smiled. This miracle drink was the reason I had found my beautiful wife again. I reached the pier and looked over all the edges. There she was, her face looking up at me from the water. She was under the water but her face was so clear. I reached towards the water but I couldn't reach her. I wanted nothing more than to be with her. I had to be with her.
Quickly I undressed myself and then I took a few steps back before jumping into the sea. The water was further away than I thought. My life flashed before my eyes. I thought maybe this was a bad idea, for a split second, but then I realised that y doing this I was reuniting myself with my amazing wife, and that was the most important thing right now. My cold body hit the freezing water with a loud clap and a massive splash. As my body hit the water I hit my head off of the various rocks that were under that deep sea. This is the last time I saw Rosie. She grabbed my hand. Feeling her skin on mine made me think that we were both alive. However this is not the case.
*End of Zayn's POV*
Everyone watched the news and watched the news reporter showing everyone around the world what they believe had happened. They showed the police tent that was still set up on the beach.
Louis- I cannot do this anymore. Liam, Haz, Niall shall we drive down to the beach? I need to know if this is Zayn.
Niall, Liam and Harry nodded. They all grabbed their hoodies and throw them on. They opened the front door but before they could go any further two police officers blocked their exit.
Police officer- Can we come in?
The four boys stepped to the side and allowed an entrance for the two police officers. The four boys took their seats back in the front room. Louise made the police officers a cup of tea before they all sat in the front room. They all stared at the police officers and waited for them to talk.
Police officer- As you are probably aware a body was found in Sandy Hook Bay early hours this morning.
Everyone nodded.
P- We are really sorry to tell you this but that body was identified as Mr Zayn Malik.
Everyone stared at the police officers. They knew that it was Zayn, but hearing it made it ten times worse. Niall, Louis, Liam and Harry all put their heads in their hands and burst into tears. Hearing that one of their bandmates was dead had hit them hard, which was obvious. They all shook their heads and waited for the police officers to carry on.
P- His family have been informed but they have asked that we inform you too. We are so sorry about your lose. We will leave you guys to it, to deal with it. This is the number for the counsellor if any of you need someone to talk to, someone who will be able to talk to you about any of your problems. She will help you to remain calm and to help you and support you.
Louise and Aston thanked the police officers and showed them out. After the police left everyone sat in the front room, and they were all crying. They all needed each other right now.
