Kapitel 14 - I'd sing for you, Bastian Baker
Zayn apparently saw my disappointed face, because he punched my shoulder softly.
„C’mon man! We’ll find her. She maybe just has another name on twitter?“
Then how will you find her? I wanted to ask him. There are fucking 100 million users! I didn’t believe for a second we would find her, but I let Zayn do whatever he wanted. Whatever. I heard him mumble to himself.
„What can you call a girl named Melanie? Mellie...? Lilly...? Lana...? Mel...?“
He saw his fingers move over the screen. I hadn’t the patience to wait for him to find something, so I just closed my eyes and leaned back in the sofa.
I hadn’t realized I’d fall asleep until Zayn woke me up with a scream.
„Here’s one!“
„You sure?“
He shrugged.
„Don’t know. Her user name is something with mel holly at least. I could be her. Come.“
I sighed, and moved over to him again. He klicked on a user with the name Live, Love, Laugh. I looked at the username. @mel_holly95. The age was probably right. I felt my heart make a jump.
From the first moment I saw her profile picture, I knew we were right. Her brown hair was blowing in the wind, and she smiled. It was her. I couldn’t stop a giant smile from entering my lips - my whole face, actually. It was her! My body started to become warm, and the smile grew even bigger. Anyone who would see me right now mus think I was crazy or something. But I didn’t care. It was her!!! I wrapped my arms around Zayn, and squeezed him hard.
„It’s her! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! We found her! It’s her!!“
I took me a while to understand that something was wrong. I had expected Zayn to laugh, hug me back and maybe say something in the style of „What do you think friends are for?“ or „Anything for you man.“ But he didn’t do anything of that. He just sat there, staring at the screen with a wierd, confused expression on his face. What was wrong? Was something wrong? I started to become scared. I let go of Zayn.
„What is it?“
Zayn shook his head. Then he turned to face me - still with the same expression in his face.
„Liam. Are you really sure this is the girl you search for?“
I was confused. What did he mean? I raised an eyebrow.
„Yes...?“
„Are you really, hundred percent sure?“
I felt the fear grow inside me. What was wrong? Scenarios started to pop up in my head. Was something wrong with this girl? Was she some kind of evil murderer who I didn’t know about? Now I was really scared. But then I thought of her. Her face, her smile. And I couldn’t imagine that she... no. Just no. I looked Zayn right in the eyes.
„Yes! Zayn, what’s wrong!? Tell me if there’s something wrong!“
Out of all, suddenly a smile appeared on his lips, and I got more confused than ever. Zayn laughed.
„Nothing’s wrong. It’s just...“
I couldn’t stand it anymore.
„Zayn! Tell me!“
He grinned.
„I think I know this girl.“
