I look around my room as my eyes adjusted. As usual, I had a hangover. Ever since me and Perrie broke up, I have been an emotional wreck. I get up in the morning with a hangover, refuse to eat breakfast, go to some bar, get drunk off my ass, go home, ignore all the guys, and go to sleep.

And today will be exactly the same....

"Good morning, Zaynie," Niall said walking pass my door. I moaned and started out my bed room, but stopped when I saw that all my hair products weren't on the dresser like they usually are.

"Guys!" I screamed, but quickly regretted it because I got a major migraine.

"Yes?" Harry asked as I walked down the stairs and into the living room.

Stacy, my manager, Paul, my 'guard' or whatever the hell he is, Lou, the hairdresser, and the guys, A.K.A the other five members of One Direction: Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, and Niall Horan all stood by four big suitcases.... MY suitcases.

"What's going on?" I asked stepping back, almost tripping on the stairs.

"Zayn," My mom walked over to me. I am so hungover I didn't even notice, Ruby, my little 13 year old little stepsister, and Joe, my mom's husband.

"You know we love you..." She took my hand, "And that's why we have to do this,"

Do what?

"Do what?" I jerked my hand back and I could see tears building up in her eyes. Everyone just stood still, "DO WHAT?!" I snapped.

"Zayn, just calm down, and please take a seat.." Liam said. His eyes were very watery too.

"NO! I'M NOT GOING TO CALM DOWN!! TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!" I screamed. I could tell it was loud because Louis tensed up.

"Fine if you won't tell him I will," Ruby walked over to me and pushed me down to where I was sitting on the stairs. She sat by me and put my hands in her's, "Zayn, we have been talking about this for awhile... well the adults have.. and you have gotten way put of hand with your drinking and smoking problem..." I just sat there looking at Ruby. For only being 13 she is really wise, "You have to get some help Zayn. I hate seeing you so broken... so we are sending you to a preserve. It's called York Town Preserve. It seems really fun, I looked it up to see if you would like it... and you totally would." She smiled up at me, her sky blue eyes shining. I smiled for the first time in a month and embraced her in a hug.

I respected how she just got straight to the point, without any hesitation.

"You're not made?" Harry asked.

"Oh, I'm pissed," I smiled at them, "But I know that I have been out of hand.. and this might be good for me." Smiles crossed everyone's lips.

I stood up and then helped Ruby up. I patted her dirty blonde hair and she stuck her tongue out at me.

I was happy before I realized where I would be for the next few months....

Rehab.

**********

I said goodbye to my folks and the lads before walking into the preserve. A lady in jeans and a blue nurse shirt told me all the rules and where my room is and bla, bla, bla. She got my attention when she whispered, "...Nobody knows who you are."

Who I am?

Shit... I'm famous... And being famous means you have fans... MY FANS!! WHAT WILL THEY THINK?! THEY WILL HATE ME!

Fuck. My life. My career. It's over. It's all fucking over.

"I'll leave you to unpack, but.. I'm going to need that," She pointed to my phone.

"Uh.... how am I suppose to talk to my friends and family?" I didn't realize that we walked all the way to my new room.

"You can talk to them on the weekends. The telephone is turned on Sunday 4-9 and visiting hours are on Saturday 11 to 3. Your room mate will be in later, she has lessons with therapy right now..." She smiled at me then walked off.

I opened the door to my room after unlocking it.

Wait... did she say 'she'?

When I opened the door all the way, I was kinda shocked. If my roommate is a girl, she isn't a girly girl. She had a basket ball hoop on the door, on the bed there was a black bead spread, white pillows with white and black pillow cases on them, and a teddy bear sitting in between the pillows.

I walked over to my bed and opened up one of the suite cases. A big blue blanket sat on top. It looks like the blanket that's at my house, but it's darker. I spread of across my bed and then put white pillow cases on the pillows. Next, I hung all my nice cloths up and put them in my closet. I folded my night clothes and jeans and stuffed them in my new dresser.

I didn't have anything to do till 4, that's when I have my first therapy session with Dr. Mason, so I walked around for a while. Luckily the kitchen is on the first floor, right next to my room.

After walking around for an hour I headed back to the room.

When I opened the door a brown head girl was sitting on bed. She looked up from the book she was reading and smiled at me, "You must be my new roommate."

She seems really nice. And she has pretty green eyes that someone could get lost in.

I shut the door behind me and walked closer to her bed, "Yeah, I'm Zayn."

"Stella," She held out her skinny arm. She had purple and blue bracelets on both her wrist.

I shook her hand.

I sat down on my bed and opened my scrapbook that I secretly sneaked in. I opened up the first page and saw me and that lads all standing outside the X Factor House. I looked so happy than. I had my friends, my family, my whole career ahead of me, and most of all, a full-hurt free heart.

**********

It was 6, dinner time. I wasn't that hungry and I don't think Stella was, too, but Miranda, the lady that helped me when I got here, made us go eat. I'm glad she made us since I met some new people: Jack, Neal, Ben, and Jace -Who is only 14.

After we... they ate their three course meal that included a choice of cheesy fries, steaks, and sherbet, I went back to my room.

I took a shower put on my black boxers and walked out of the bathroom.

"Hey Za- ZAYN!!" Stella covered her face.

"Oh, sorry, it's a habit!" I pulled sweats on and a tight fitting shirt on, "You can open your eyes now."

She opened he eyes slowly and blushed.

I smiled and climbed into my bed.

"I'm going to take a shower now," She grabbed a pair of blue pajama pants with ducks on them and a bright orange shirt.

**********

Her hair was down her back, still a little wet. She walked over to her stand-up mirror and pulled her long hair into a bun.

She walked to the light switch and turned the light off. Everything was black and quiet, until she tripped and fell into my bed.

On instinct, I grabbed her waist. Her hands landed on my chest and her face dangerously close to mine.

"You alright?" I asked. Even in the dark she looked stunning.

"Ye-yeah," She scooted off of my bed and slowly, and carefully, walked to hers.

"Goodnight," I whispered, not expecting her to hear me. I closed my eyes until I heard her whisper,

"Night.."
