Story Of My Life *1d and 5SOS*

"Juul! I feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn around: it's Zayn's hand. "Yes?" Zayn looks at me seriously. "I just wanted to get something from the vending machine down the road.... He looks so cool! I'm not running away." I laugh. Zayn continues to look at me seriously. "What's going on between you and Ashton? Are you pregnant?" Zayn asks. I start laughing hard. When I see that Zayn meant it seriously, I stop and raise my eyebrows.

"You're joking, right? Of course I'm not pregnant with Ashton, or anyone else for that matter.... I really do do it safely... Uhm..." Zayn's eyebrows shoot up I bite my lip. "Where did this suddenly come from?" I ask. " Wait... Are you really doing it with Ashton?"

"No..."

"That's what you just said..."

"I didn't."

"Well..." I sigh. "You ask if I'm pregnant and then you can't make a connection.... Then I'll do it with Ashton anyway, dork..." I say. Zayn sighs. "As long as you're careful..." He mutters. "Yeah dad, I'll watch out... Can I go to the vending machine now?" I ask irritated. Zayn nods. "I'll go with you..." We walk to the cool high-tech vending machine. The closer we get to the vending machine, the louder I hear 5 seconds of summer. They're good... They're about half way through their setlist now. In six songs, one direction is due.

"But then what's going on between you and Ashton?" Zayn suddenly asks. We are standing in front of the vending machine. I grab my debit card, it's that high tech, and push it in. "Nothing special..." I mumble, looking at all the candy in the vending machine. "No, it just seems that way... Juul don't lie to me!"

I press a number on the vending machine. "Juul..." I key in my PIN number. "Juul?"

"What?" I snarl. I take out my ATM card. My candy, milka chocolate, falls into the compartment. "I asked something..." Zayn mutters. I grab my chocolate. "I know." I reply. I walk away, not waiting for Zayn. After three steps, Zayn stops me. "Then why don't you answer?" I turn around. I feel my eyes stinging. "How do you do it when you don't see Perrie for a long time?" I ask softly. "Because she's on the other side of the world right now..." I almost whisper. Zayn sighs. "I call, text or Skype with her every day. And at Christmas I see her. In the UK she comes to as many concerts as she can." He tells. I nod slowly, this isn't going to work for me. I'm not a singer, or at least.... Not a celebrity... I'm not going on tour, except for now.

"How so?" Zayn asks. I shrug "Soon Ashton will be in Australia and me in the UK..." I mumble sadly. Zayn puts an arm around me. "I wouldn't worry about that too much. You've got a little time anyway, and besides, if you start worrying, it'll cause tension..." Zayn advises me. I smile gratefully at him and hug him tightly. "Thank you so much, you're the best big brother ever..." I say softly.

"Otherwise you can always move to Sydney, even though I hope you don't..." Laughs Zayn. I let go and look at him questioningly. "Why not?" I ask. I see that Zayn is starting to turn red. "I can't miss you..." He mumbles. I smile and wrap my arms around his waist again. "Awh! Me neither Zaynie!" I laugh. Zayn laughs. "Don't ever call me Zaynie again.... Juulie!" He laughs. "Zaynie..." Laughs I.

Zayn lifts me up. "Holy shit Zayn, let go of me!" Laughs I. Zayn doesn't let go of me. "ZAYN! Loose! Then you get a piece of chocolate!" I laugh. "I'll only let you go if you never call me Zaynie again, and I get half!" He suggests. "Okay, okay, Zayni... Zayn!" Zayn lets go of me.

"Thank you!" I straighten my clothes. Zayn grins at me. "You're a weirdo, Zayn Javid Malik..." I laugh. "So that's why we're family... Now get that chocolate over here!" He laughs.
