The Malik Triplets

Chapter 32: Hair Day

Perrie's P.O.V

Zayn has been gone for a few days now and we leave the day after tomorrow. It's been really blue around here. The girls have taken Zayn's departure harder than we could have expected, they're just gloomy all the time. The only time they've perked up in the past few days, is when Zayn rings or texts to see how our families doing.

Hatchi barked at Vexi as her hand dangling back and forth as she laid on the couch. She held one of his toys in her hand and absentmindedly played fetch with him as she watched TV with her sisters.

Kyra had a notebook on her lap, the one Harry got her for her birthday to write new songs in. She had be furiously writing for an hour now, which created a frown of concentration on her forehead with little creases forming on her forehead.

Letty flicked through channels on TV, searching for some program to watch but nothing was on at this time of day. She sighed and decided on the music channel. She sat with her knees bend, a drawing pad resting against her thighs. She had been sketching, from memory, Big Ben for the majority of the morning and was now colouring in her artwork.

"Ok. Enough sulking" I declare.

I startled the girls as my voice was a lot louder then the TV in the very silent room. I picked up the remote and turned off the TV.

"What are you doing?" Vexi asked and her eyes switched between me and the blank TV.

"We're going out" I inform them.

"Where?" Kyra groans.

"We're gonna have some fun. We'll go shopping and have lunch out and maybe we'll go past the hairdressers and get our hair done. We need to look good for tour"

The girls sat there blankly looking at me.

"Don't make me drag you all the way up stairs" I warned. "Go get dressed and we'll go" I clapped my hands, urging them to hurry up.

They each groan and complained the entire way up the stairs and to there bedrooms. I sighed in relief as I heard all three doors closed. I needed to get them out of their miserable states.

"I want each of you to pick out a whole new outfit. You can wear it when we get off the plane and that night to our first concert" I held Vexi and Letty's hand as we walked through the shopping centre.

Kyra linked arms with Vexi as we walked. Teenage girls around us stared at us as we walked past. It surprised me that we had only been stopped once for photos so far. Usually once one comes, the others line up. This was one of the first experiences the girls have had with fans being so up close to them.

"Any rules about what we can and can't wear?" Letty asked, but she knew the answer.

"Nothing Zayn will kill you for" I responded.

My daughters giggled. Zayn was very protective and opinionated about where hems were allowed to stop from, how high shorts or skirts were allowed to be and how low cut tops were allowed to fall. Although we hadn't had any trouble with our own girls yet, he would still point someone out if he wanted to make an example of what the triplets aren't suppose to wear.

"Why is it that we haven't been eating this crap all of our lives?" Vexi asked.

"Language" I scold her.

"Junk food" she smiles innocently.

"Thank you" I nodded.

"I don't know but I plan on eating it every chance I get" Ky giggled.

We walked into the hairdressers after we finished eating and sat down in the waiting area. I looked around, they weren't all that busy, just understaffed. It's probably a good thing that the girls don't get to overcrowded, I know Vexi gets a tad bit claustrophobic - like Naill.

"Have you decided what you want to do with your hair?" I asked.

"I want to get mine trimmed and redo the blue ends" Letty played with the end of her fading blue hair.

"I think I want to get some red foils throughout my hair. Nothing too over the top, but just something to give it some colour" Vexi explains.

"Sounds good. What about you Ky?" I pinch my youngest daughters cheek.

"Maybe dip-dye the ends a honey colour. I think blonde would look too weird with my dark brown" she laughs lightly.

"Probably would" I wrap my arm around her.

"What about you?" She looks up at me.

"I was thing of ditching the pink and going back to blonde but more like a golden blonde" I glanced at my reflection in the mirror hanging against the wall.

"I think it'll look pretty" she twirls a piece of my hair around her index finger.

"Thanks baby"

*****

Once we returned home from our very successful cheer up/ hair day, the triplets started taking selfies of themselves with there new hair to post on twitter.

"Perrie, come here" I heard Letty call out to me.

I jogged down the stairs and into the lounge room where my girls were giggling on the couch with one of there phones in hand. We had given them iPhones for their birthday that had international credit so Zayn and I could talk to them whenever.

"Yeah?" I made my presence known.

"Come here" Vexi stood up from the couch. "Sit" she commanded.

I sat down next to Letty who had Kyra on her lap. They explained they wanted a picture of the four of us to put on Twitter. Vexi sat down on my lap and we squished together to get in the shot. Kyra clicked one the camera button and we took several shots. Most were silly, but one was rather nice and cute.

"Can you send that last one to me? I need a new picture for my wallpaper on my phone" I asked Ky.

She nodded and opened up her messages to text me the photo. I went back upstairs, telling the girls I had to finish packing before I leave it to the last minute and get into a panick. My phone buzzed with a Twitter alert. I opened up Twitter to see Kyra had posted one of our pictures.

I smiled down at the screen. My phone beep still in my hand and made me jump. I opened up my text messages to see a new one from Zayn.

From Zaynie
I told you you could cheer up the girls. I like the new looks but don't have too much fun without me. I love you so much. Call later, Zayn xxxxx

I bit my lip in an even bigger smile. God, I love my family.
