Zayn's POV:

"Zayn, only yesterday we came to know we have a daughter and now you want to take her away?" Mum whined.

"But mum, it's our job" I reasoned.

"And I'll come back as soon as the concert is over" Shreya held her hand.

"Zayn always says he'll come back but he never does" Safaa sniffed.

I picked her up and kissed her cheek, "This time I'll"

"Why do they need the lyricist for a concert?" Dad asked.

"Dad, I'll tell you" Shreya giggled. "Reason number one : The five are fools so a smart one like me is needed to manage and control the crowd. Reason number two : We've got used to it. Reason number 3 : We need to let the world know that we're siblings because the paps think otherwise"

"The only reason that is worth is the third but the first two are true too" Dad smiled.

"Hey" I protested.

"What is the assurance you'll come back, Afra?" Mum asked her.

Shreya tapped her chin in thought. "Mum, Dad why don't you all come to the concert? After the concert you can bring me back" She exclaimed.

"Wow Shreya! You got brains" I praised her.

"I always had" She stuck her tongue out.

"So it's done. Malik family is flying to London" Stephen declared.

"Maan, I felt like watching a south-Indian soap opera" Rahul sighed.

"That is called emotions, fool" Diya slapped the back of his head.

"I'll book the tickets" Stephen went to fetch his laptop.

"Why don't we just drive?" Dad rose up from his seat.

"A road trip to London? It'll take four hours, Dad" I pointed it out.

"Take an hour away, son. I'll arrange out ride" Dad kissed Shreya's forehead and walked out of the house.

" What are you girls waiting for? Go get packed" Mum told my sisters and they ran quickly to their rooms.

Shreyawent to kitchen with mum. I excused myself and went to my room. I discarded myshirt and stood before the window letting the night air feel my bare upperbody.

I ran my thumb on my fore-arm bearing Perrie's tattoo. I gave her everything of me but still she had never trusted me. I wonder if she loved me as much as I did. How can she assume stuff like that about me and Shreya. My sister, Afra. And Harry, he's such a dick. I don't understand why he was with Taylor when he had Shre. Their relationship wasn't public and even Simon didn't know but still he shouldn't have and calling us names. Allah, I don't understand Harry and Perrie

A knock on my door pulled me out of my thoughts, "May I come in"

I turned around. It was Diya. "Come in"

"What happened, Zayn?" She asked walking towards me.

"Nothing" I shook my head looking down.

She grasped my face in her hands and lifted them up, "Your eyes don't say so"

Her face was close to mine. Her eyes held tender care and pure affection. I looked away from her intense gaze.

"Something's wrong, right?" She asked.

I nodded my head letting out a heavy sigh.

"Perrie?" She asked.

My frustration and depression reached high levels. All my bottled up feelings were surfacing up.

"Yes. It is. Since the day we began dating she was never satisfied with anything. I went to extremes to make her happy. After I met Shreya she began to get insecure. A lot of rumours used to be released about her by the tabloid. Complete incorrigible things. But you know what I never believed them because I trusted her. I won't even ask her about it. I got her tattooed on me and proposed her but still... She doubted me and Shreya together" I began to sob.

I threw my arms around Diya and buried my face into her neck. She ran her hand on my hair soothing me. I released her from my grasp. She smiled at me with tears in her eyes.

"Come here" She lead me to the window.

"Look there" She pointed towards the moon.

"Moon?" I asked her.

She nodded her head and leant on the window sill, "There are many stars in the sky. Sometimes they appear sometimes they don't but that one star beside the moon it never leaves. It stays with it every night until the sun comes to send them off."

She turned towards me, "If someone leaves then they're never meant to be with you. Maybe they will carry a purpose. But the one for you will never let you go."

She threw her arms around me and held me close. I wrapped my arms around her and felt a wave of home's feeling wash over me. She slowly unwrapped her arms and pulled off. She grasped my face again and pulled me making me bend down and kissed my forehead and walked out quietly.

Istood there startled. It took my stupid brain a couple of minutes to processthings and then it hit me. She kissed me. She had never kissed me before noteven in a friendly manner. Ugh just look at me. I broke up with my fiancée in the morning and crushing on my female friend late in the evening. 

Maan I'm pathetic.

I fell back on my bed with my feet dangling off the cot. What do I do after tomorrow? The truth will come out. Perrie will know and Harry will know. Obviously they'll regret but their words? They can't take it back and I can't take back Perrie too. She had proved herself. I can't be myself around her.

"Knockity knock" Someone tapped the open door.

"Come in, mum" I sighed.

"What has got my only boy this worked up?" She asked sitting on the bed beside me.

I scooted close to her and placed my head on her lap. She combed my hair with her finger soothing me.

"Mum, you know I love Perrie so much, right?" I asked her.

"Yes, I know. Why?" She asked.

"I broke up with her" I sighed.

"Zayn" She called me softly. I looked up at her. "What happened?"

"She never trusted me, mum. Just like others she thought I and Afra had an affair. Even if she doesn't know Shreya is my sister, she shouldn't stop trusting me right? She broke my heart" I poured it out to her.

"Oh Zayn" She cried pulling me up and hugging me.

I pulled back.

"But mum, I feel different. I don't feel sad but I feel relieved. I feel I don't know how to explain" I huffed.

"You like somebody else" She stated holding my face in her palms. "Zayn, it's never too late to fall in love but once you fall in love you can't raise from it. It wasn't Perrie for you it is someone else and I'm sure you know her. So go fall in love" She kissed my forehead and stood up.

"Our rides are here. Be down soon" She informed me as she exited my room.

Again another woman's words have left me in thoughts just like the previous one.
