Shreya's POV:

"Zayn!" I yelled from the bottom of the stairs as I ran down the stairs to the kitchen.

"Have your breakfast before you leave" Mum told me as she placed a plate of parathas before me.

"I love you" I hugged her and kissed her cheek.

"I love you too" She kissed my forehead.

I sat down on the stool and ate my food which was placed on the counter when a sleepy Zayn stumbled into the kitchen.

"Morning" I yelled as he glared at me.

"Ammi" He whined walking over to mum and hugged her.

"Such a big baby" Doniya scoffed walking in.I laughed along with her.

"Don't bully my only son" Mum scolded us with a smile.

Zayn stuck out his tongue at us as we rolled our eyes.He slumped into the stool beside and began munching his parathas.

"When are you kids leaving?" Mum asked.

"In an hour" I replied mum.

"Have you packed?" She asked as she placed a plate full of parathas before Doniya.

"Yep!" Zayn replied with his mouthful.

"Yew! speak after you have chewed and swallowed your food" I said with my nose scrunched up in disgust.

"I wonder if you two are really twenty plus or just two year olds" She sighed but I could see the small smile on her face.

Fifteen minutes later,we were hauling our luggage down.Our dear siblings decided to watch us with content smiles on their face and we wouldn't let our parents carry weight.As I dragged the second suitcase filled with my shoes down with a loud sigh,my dad stepped up.

"Princess,your old man is not that weak.Sit here" He ordered.

"Abba" I whined.

"No whining,I will get your luggage" He said firmly and ran up the stairs to my room and brought my last two baggage down without much effort.

"Thank you,abba" I hugged him.

"Anything for you,princess" He kissed the top of my head.

Not just Zayn and dad,the whole family is over protective of me.Zayn and Dad hold me in their embrace and kiss my head every time to prove I got two men on whom I can rely on.

"Zayn! How many more bags? You have more bags than Afra" Walhiya asked amused.

"What? I have an image to maintain too" He shrugged.Everybody laughed at him.

"Come here,both of you!" Dad called.

"Zayn,take proper care of your little sister and I want to talk to the curls boy of your band" He told strictly to Zayn.

"Why abba?" Both us asked in sync.

"I know everything,nothing can escape my eyes and Afra keep your brother in his line whenever he drifts away" He told me placing his big hand on my cheek.I nodded my head.

"Come here,both of you" He opened his arms just like how Zayn opens them to me.

We both crashed onto him with smiling faces.Soon we were enveloped by mum and my sisters.We pulled apart after a while and Dad placed a kiss on both of our heads.

"Ahh gaawd!" Zayn groaned as we hopped into the cab.

"What happened?" I asked him.

"Look at my hair! My quiff is ruined" He whined.

"Such a cry-baby,come here" I called him.

He turned around to face me.I ran my hands through his hair and messed the quiff and parted them to one side.

"Wow Afra,nice skills" He praised me looking at his face in his phone's front camera.

"I grew up with Rahul and Stephen,remember?" I grinned.

"Good for me" He grinned stretching his hands behind my head on the seat.

I miss my friends.It had been a while since I saw them.The last I saw them was in the break-fast table on the morning after that club-night.I haven't spoken to Diya in a long time.I wonder if the boys told her about my movie.

"What's going on in that head of yours?" Zayn poked my shoulder.

"Nothing,I miss the crack heads" I gave him a tight-lipped smile.

"You'll see them soon in India.We've reached." He led the way out.

We quickly got out and gathered our luggage as our bodyguards came to our aid.We swam through the paparazzi and made it to the boarding without much struggle.At last we climbed the steps to the plane and sat on our seats without making much fuss.

"Wake me when we reach" Zayn mumbled and rested his head on my shoulder.

"G'night sleeping beauty" I patted his head and put on my seatbelt.

I got comfortable in my seat and made sure the sleeping beauty was comfortable too.I got myself a cup of coffee from the stewardess and looked out into the sky as I got lost in my thoughts.

I and Harry had not talked again after that night except for our brief conversation when we met up with boys on the next day. Then tension has not completely disappeared,it was still there.

It had been only a few days since I last saw him but still I don't know how I am going to react to him when we reach.The boys will be picking us up from the airport along with Paul.

"With no way out and a long way down...Everybody needs someone around...But I can't hold you,too close now...Through the wire,through the wire..." I mumbled.

"Nice lines,you should note it down" Zayn mumbled groggily.

"Sure" I grinned up at him and pulled out my iphone and jotted them down before I would forget.

Right then,the pilot's voice flowed through the speakers that we are about to land.The sleeping beauty beside me stirred and woke up grumbling.

"Morning!" I grinned at him flicking his nose.

He stuck his tongue out at me and sat up properly.He run his hand through his hair and straightened his jacket.On our mother's orders,we both were wearing a white turtleneck and our beige jacket.

We were twinning.

The only difference was he was wearing torn jeans while I decided to sport my skinny jeans.As the flight was about to land,he held my hand just like always.We were the first to get down and our luggage were already on a trolley.We thanked the airport staff and quickly hurried to the departure gate.We put on our glasses and walked straight ahead searching for the boys as the flashes went off on our faces.

"Shreya! Zayn!" We heard a familiar voice call.

It was Louis with the rest of the boys behind him and Paul beside him.A few bodyguards walked to us and grabbed our trolleys as they led the way.

"Louis" I squealed running into his arms.After sharing our hugs,we were ushered into the van quickly.

"Where are we headed to?" I asked them.

"To our home,of course! We've to pack and tomorrow early morning is the flight" Liam told me.

"Another early flight" Zayn groaned from beside me into my shoulder.

"Such a ball of sunshine you're,aren't you?" I asked him with a smirk.

He raised his head up to glare at me and then put it down again earning a row of laughter.

"This is so going on twitter" Louis laughed fiddling with his phone and the tell-tale sound of the notification on our phones proved that he really did that.

"Why am I even friends with you bullies" Zayn asked sitting up as he rubbed his hand over his face.

"Because you love us" Niall grinned like the kid he isn't.

As soon as we reached home,everyone walked to their rooms quietly not before stopping by the kitchen.I chuckled as I ran up to my room.I twisted the handle and pushed the door open.A big brown teddy sat on my bed.A smile curved up my lips.I took long strides and picked up the teddy and hugged it to me.There was a note on my bed.I put the teddy down and reached for the note.

Hey beautiful,

You deserve the warm hugs...
