[AN: I finally, named Zayn’s wife, so sorry if i ever confused you guys, Love You all!!]

 

The next morning, i wake up after hearing my annoyingly loud alarm clock, and walk into my bathroom and get ready. After im done taking a shower, i put on light blue skinny jeans, my green day t-shirt, and a black sweat shirt. I then go into the bathroom and put on eye-liner, mascara, and a little bit of black eye shadow like i always do. I put on a pair of socks, and my black combat boots, grab my phone and book bag, and head down the stairs to the kitchen.

“Hi mom..” I say softly. She looks up from the magazine she’s reading and smiles lightly at me,

“hey sweet pea.” she says softly, while getting up and walking over to me. She wraps her arms around me in a loving hug. I hug her back instantly. Honestly, i never meant to ever make any of my family members upset with me.

I wanted to prove my point of dad favoriting Anna, which clearly came across.

“Mom, i’m sorry..” i whispered into her shirt.

“What are you sorry for darling?” she asks with surprise in her voice.

“I’m sorry for causing all of this.. you probably think i’m an attention seeker too.. Well, i would just like to say that i’m really not. as you have noticed, over the past, what? 3 to 4 years, that dad has ignored me. Me and him were so close. I always thought that i did something wrong to have him hate me so much. over that time, i grew depressed, kinda knowing that i basically lost him to anna.. Plus with the bullying that was going on from anna and the rest of the kids, it was even harder to just draw it. I-i felt like i deserved to feel p-pain. I feel worthless, like nobody would care if i disappeared. I honestly never thought that dad would do t-this..” as i was speaking, my voice started to crack and tears formed in my eyes.

“i-i just wanted you to know the real story from my perspective.. i wanted you to know what i have been feeling.. i-i have to go.. love you mom.” i whisper shakily and kiss her cheek softly. I look up at her and her face is full of sadness.

a single tear runs down my cheek as i turn around and head for the door, as i walk out of the kitchen door frame, i bump into my dad. i gasp.

“S-sorry dad.” i whimper, clearly afraid he would yell at me. I quickly bolt for the door, and start speed walking to school.

 

*Zayns POV*

 

When roxy bumped into me near the kitchen, I was honestly shocked at the fear in her eyes. I felt like she was afraid that i would get mad at her.

But i’ve already done the many times before. I honestly don’t know why i have changed my attitude so much towards her.

I Miss my little girl.. She always used to be happy. I feel like i have crushed her happiness.

Before she bumped into me, i listened into her conversation with my wife.

I can’t believe i was such a dick to her.

I can’t believe i didn’t let her speak and tell her side of the story.

I can’t believe that i denied my own child.

I certainly cannot believe i told her that she was a mistake and that i didn’t love her anymore.

After she left, i walked into the kitchen and saw Paige with tears in her eyes. I sigh,

“I know i know.. This is all my fault.. After coming to grips that this was actually happening, i’ve been thinking about sending Anna away to My moms place for a little bit and just having Roxy around. I think we need to come together as a family again.”

“No No No, not WE, YOU. You started this whole thing with her, how about i take Anna away for awhile to my parents in the states. Maybe for about 2 ½ weeks. she’ll get her punishment there. In the meantime, you and roxy stay here and come together again. Zayn, you have no idea how depressed she has been, you need to do this. I know you miss her just as much as she misses you.” She finished this with crossing her arms.

“I know..” i say looking down at my feet.

“then do it. By the way, why did you stop speaking to her?” she asked.

I let out a shaky breath,

“Anna told me that Roxy was always threatening her and being a bully.”

“And you believed her? Zayn you know better than that!” she scolds.

“I know. And it was stupid of me to do something like that. Oh, and your plan? it’s brilliant, i say we do it. I really do need to fix this. I have a plan though, how about we throw her a nice party with all the family here tonight. Sound good?” She smiled wide and nodded. I smiled back and opened my arms wide and she walked into them. I kissed the top of her head and whispered,

“I’ll make things right again. I promise.”
