I Was only a baby when my mother left me in a box outside a small orphanage . My mother was a beautiful tall women , her hair all the way to her waist , light brown and wavy .

At least that's what mother Ella told me , Mother Ella was a nun at the orphanage which I considered like my mother or as I like to call her "mum" every night she would read me a bedtime story, then she would tuck me in and sing to me until I fell asleep.

Then I started to grow and I was only about eight when I started to ask a lot more question to "mum" about my mother but as time passed I think I annoyed her so she kept trying to avoid that topic .

I'm not sure but I think she was keeping some sort of secret from me . Did she know where my mother was and didn't want to tell me ? Maybe she was afraid I would leave . But why ? I had the right to know where she was .

Zayn was growing up and I didn't want to disappoint him . If only he knew that his mother wasn't alive anymore .

His mother had sent a letter to the orphanage more than a year ago saying she was diagnosed with cancer and she only had a month left to live . She said not to tell Zayn until his 18th birthday when he was mature enough.

Zayn had been asking me about her but I kept trying to change the topic and I think he got a clue.

The only thing I was afraid of was that he would leave off to find her and I wouldn't be able to tell him on time .
