Lana's POV

   "Never again. No more vodka! " I sighed as I flashed back to why I was drunk.

   My parents were getting divorced! Technically, my mum was the one who filed for the divorce. Although, deep down in my heart or somewhere, I knew it was just a matter of time before they opened up about it!. Over the past few weeks, they've been having fights and throwing tantrums, but when I asked them about it, they'll brush it off as a simple misunderstanding though I knew something up was up! No one ever tells me anything in this house so I wouldn't have flipped out if I haven't had seen it on Instagram! Millions of people already knew they were getting divorced, millions of people but me ;their daughter!  I should have been the first to know about this. I should have stormed into their room right now but they're away again. Who goes on business trip together when they're about to be divorced? My parents. I need to get away. I need to get this thoughts away. I lung out of my room into my bathroom and take a cool shower. I'm already late for school so there's no need going again. I drank too much vodka last night when I found out my parents were getting divorced. Ouch! This word just pierced into my heart.

I hear my phone buzz . Probably a new notification from WVHA.

I put on a baggy jeans, black polo and tie my curly hair in a ponytail which is a failure because its too full.

Another notification! I also ignore.

I go down to the kitchen, open the fridge and take out a granola bar and milk. After eating, I go up to my room and check the messages on my phone. Please don't be Kayla.

Anonymous - Hey! What's up? Do you know me?

I get this a lot. I mean random messages from unknown people asking if I know them. How the fuck am I supposed to know who they are? I am so not in the mood do peekaboo right now so I just send a straight message.

Me - Nope. Who are you?

In no time the so called person repliesand I throw my phone on my bed when I see the message.

Anonymous - Zayn Arthur.

First question that came to my mind was not even how he got to have my number but why was he texting me? He should be in school right now? What if he also isn't? Okay. How'd he have my number. Maya!

Me - How did you get my number? 😠

Anonymous - That's out of the question now. Let's just say I have a way of getting what I want.

Me - Ego much! Shouldn't you be in school right now??

Anonymous - Same question applies to you. I noticed you're not in school. Are you okay?

OMG! He noticed I'm not in school? How the fuck? Just chill Lana. Maybe he could come over.

Me - I have a lot on my mind now.

Anonymous -  Well. I'm at Maya's and she's staring at my phone right now. She wants you to come over.

Me - Tell her I'm on my way.

I don't even bother changing my clothes, I just take my car keys and zoom out of the house.

The drive to Maya's house is exhausting. I keep thinking about my parents and all the divorce stuff. I should really call Brittany and tell her about this. She has a way of talking to them. What if they really split up and want custody? Who am I gonna go with? My mum or my dad? Who knows me better? Who do I have love most?

I ring the security check point, duh, that's what I call their gate now since they spend the whole day scrutinizing who's at the gate and why you're here. But I guess today is different as I get buzzed in within less than five minutes.

I park my car and open the front door and walk into Maya's room where I also find Zayn sprawled on her bed. Maya's on her couch eating Springles and Zayn is lying on her bed going through his phone. I take off my flip flops and join Maya on the couch.

"Hey" I say and steal some of her springles. She glares at me and ruffles my hair. I smile and she notices I'm sad .

"I guess today is ditch day, huh?" Maya says and Zayn chuckles. That's the most amazing chuckle I've ever heard. Okay. Ignore that Lana. You should not be thinking this way about Zayn.

"You're gonna act like I'm not here, right?" Zayn says and sits up, dropping his phone on the bed and coming to take some of Maya's Springles. Our eyes come in contact and I can't help but stare at his lip ring, I think he notices because he licks it and winks at me. I stare away. He's wearing a black sleeveless shirt with a YOLO written on it. I can see his muscles bulge when he sits back on his bed.

" I was gonna say hi" I finally say and he smirks.

"Hi" he says back and I roll my eyes and steal some more of her springles.

"I have an idea" Maya sprung up causing her springles to spill on the floor. Lovely springles. I sniff.

"Let's go out. Go have fun. We can stay out till midnight! My parents aren't coming home and I basically don't give a fuck!' She chuckles..

"Same here! I think going out is what I need right now!" I laugh

" I'm in but I can't stay till midnight"

"Why?" I clasp my mouth shut. I can't believe I just aake why. You care that's why you asked. Oh shut up! I do not care! Yes you do! I don't! You do! OK! I'm so not gonna start arguing with my head right now.

"I have to go to work by 4" Zayn says with a smirk plaaterd on his face. He has been staring at me since I got here. Not that I find it pleasant or anything, its weird. Why is he staring at me? Why? Maybe he likes you. Oh! Shut up!

"Zayn works at a music store. Timmy's Music store down the road here" Maya explains.

Oh! I know there. That's where I met Mason.

" Wow. That's great" I say with true enthusiasm. Its great. I Mean he has a job and all. And he's also hot. Shut up!

" Brb. I should call Isaac, I don't think he's in school"

" Yeah. He could hang out with us!" Maya smiles and Zayn leaves the room

" Quick question! Did you give him my number?" I ask
"Yes" Maya smirks. " I think he's into you"

" Nope. He is so not"

"He's on his way" Zayn says as he walks back into the room.

"So, where are we going?" I ask and they both smirk

"You'll see" Maya laughs out loud
