Evelyn
As soon as I heard knock on my door I stood up from the bed I was sitting on. I was just going through Instagram looking at one of the funny picture Louis had posted seven hours ago. I did talk with him on whats app and even sent him few snaps, he being him sent me some snaps with weird faces which made me laugh so hard I almost fell off bed, Zayn even gave me confused glace but I just kept laughing. It was a bit difficult to talk to everyone there due to timezones. It didn't help when Dresden is six hours ahead of Atlanta.
I walked over to door opening it. Leon stood there wearing a white buttoned up shirt with both the sleeves folded upwards till his elbow and a dark jeans. His hairs were perfectly gelled into a quiff almost like zayn's but it was shorter. He looked perfect and handsome but looking at his face I saw his nervousness and fear.
"Come on In." I gave him my biggest smile and stepped aside to let him in, closing the door after he entered.
He walked towards the bed and sat at the edge of the bed, at the same place I was sitting minutes ago. I sat beside him and said, "You know you look amazing." he was looking at the ground, hands fiddling and shaking a little from fear. I took one of his hand in mine, giving it a squeeze to reassure him I am with him. He finally looked at me his green eyes connecting with mine.
"I am just scared. What if she will say no? what if its too early? wha-" I cut off his rumbling, "Shh.. I am sure she will say yes, now you need to man up and stop acting like a girl."
"Its just first time I am.." he trailed off, I just smiled at him and his behaviour. Poor guy was way too nervous than I was when I first kissed zayn.
"Trust me you look dashing she won't even say no even if she wants to." I chuckled.
"You know if I wasn't with zayn, I would have surely fell for you." I said just to lighten the mood and it did help because he chuckled which made me grin widely. We have really become close and good friends in past few days. "Leon what's her name?" I asked suddenly remembering that I still don't know here name. He looked at me with wide eyes, "You don't know her name?"
"You never told me." I shrugged pointing out the fact that he never once mentioned her name while talking about her.
"Sorry," he apologised before saying, "her name is Maaren" he blushed and I couldn't help but laugh at how cute he looked. "Okay Evelyn I need your help here not make me nervous than I already am!" he whined and I suppressed my laugh still smiling at him.
"Okay so where is the ring?" he removed a small box from his pocket and held out for me to take. I opened it slowly worried that I would break it or damage it, inside the box was a beautiful silver ring with a medium sized diamond shinning brightly. It was just simply beautiful."Wow this is so beautiful." I whispered looking at him.
"Is it good? Will she like it?" I rolled my eyes. "Don't start again she is going to love it."
Come on say it already man before I kick your arse. I thought out in frustration. Leon was standing in front of Maaren looking like he was about to pass out while Zayn and I was standing few metres away from them. I met Maaren and she is a beautiful petite girl with big light brown eyes and smooth long dark brown hair which reached below her waist, she was shy when we met but then I told her not to be. Fifteen minutes had passed and this idiot has still not proposed her. Did he forget how to propose? Like bending on one knee and all?
I glanced up at zayn who was looking at the ground as usual with a frown on his face, deep in thoughts. I looked away when I heard a squeal. I saw Leon was already on one knee holding out ring in his hand and Maaren had tears spilling down her eyes, her mouth covered by her hand. Wait did he already proposed her? Great I just missed it.
"Yes!" Maaren said and Leon excitedly slipped the ring in her ring finger before kissing her. I waited for them to pull away but they didn't so I strode over the new couple and cleared my throat standing in front of them. They pulled apart quickly and Maaren blushed before hiding her face in Leon's chest.
"Thank you Evelyn," he blushed a little grinning at me. I just frowned saying, "That was real quick though." Maaren pulled away from hug and looked at me with small smile.
"I didn't know what to say so I just straight away asked her." Oh so I was right he really didn't know how to propose, idiot.
"Congratulations both of you! Don't forget to call me in your wedding." I hugged Maaren and then Leon.
"Thank you." She said shyly.

"I am going to miss you and this place." I hugged Leon one last time before pulling away.
"So am I."
"Do visit sometimes." I said and he nodded his head, "sure."
"Tell Grandma I will miss her and her recipes." We both chuckled. This was the best place I've ever been to. I get to meet Leon, Grandma and Maaren. They were truly amazing people.
"See you soon." He said and I nodded before Zayn and I made our way inside the airport. Here we go again, long tiring plane ride.
We both sat on our seats without saying a word.
*Two days later*
Okay it was enough now. I need answers about what's going on in his head. His behaviour is so strange it makes me want to hit him with a chair made up of iron. So here I was standing with my hands on my hips starring dead into his eyes. It was eleven-thirty at night. Someone will say we lost our mind standing in the balcony in middle of night almost.
"Tell me what's wrong? Why are you behaving this way. I am so sick of this behaviour and you don't even talk much. Tell me what's going on in your head that I always find you staring at distance as if you are thinking something." I demanded once more and he looked down at his hands.
"Tell me Zayn." I was furious and mad at him for his cold behaviour.
He sighed heavily before looking up at me his eyes held sadness, "Eves"
"Can you kiss you before explaining?" He pleaded and I wanted to kiss him as well but I was also furious at him.
I folded my arms around me and said, "no first you tell me."
He took a step towards me making us closer, his hands roamed up to my forearms, "please Eves"
I couldn't say him no looking at his face and our closeness didn't help either so instead of saying anything I just nodded my head.
He leaned down and captured my lips with his warms once and kissed me deeply, it felt like he put everything, every love and passion in this kiss. It felt like he was kissing me for the last time. After a few minutes when we ran out of oxygen we pulled apart panting heavily grasping for air.
"Tell me." I whispered after both of our breathing became even.
"Eves please don't hate me but I can't do it. We can't do it." I frowned at him. What was he talking about?
"What do you mean?" I voiced my thoughts and doubts.
He was still holding my arms, "Eves we can't be together." And that hit me like a hurricane.
"I am sorry. I love you, I truly do but because of what we do and our passion we can't be together. It's difficult to handle this long distance relationship." He said and I could see his eyes were getting glassy.
"We can try at least?" I suggested but he shook his head never once leaving eye contact, "we can't Evelyn."
"Why?" I felt something wet on my cheeks and when Zayn wiped it I knew that it was my tears.
"Don't cry Eves. You will find someone much better than me."
"Don't do it Zayn." I begged holding onto his shirt.
"I am leaving in an hour." He said and I couldn't help but feel even more horrible. He says he loves me but he is leaving me. What type of love is this?
Instead of feeling angry I felt nothing. I felt empty and drained. I felt my heart breaking into millions of pieces. So this is how it feels like having a heartbreak.
"I will always remember you and love you. I should leave now, Take care of yourself Evelyn, I will miss you." He cupped my face and kissed my forehead one last time before turning around and leaving me.
"I love you Zayn. I loved you from the day I met you and I will always love you." I whispered falling onto my knees and letting out the tears which I was holding on. My first heartbreak.
_______________________________
I am horrible. I know how it feels when the person you love the most leaves you. To every guy and girl out there who has been through heartbreak please stay strong.
I am sorry but this story is over. This was the end and the Epilogue will be up in few days.
