"Where did you get this?" He said again in an angry voice.

"What?" I said reaching for the picture again, but he pulled his hand back again.

He looked at the photo and turned it around, he read the back and turned to face me. He grabbed my shoulders and pushed me against the wall.

"Where did you get this?" He hissed through clenched teeth.

"You want to know where I got it?" I asked him pushing him off of me, but he was to strong this time.

"Yes, tell me. Now" he demanded

"I got the picture from a photo album that belongs to me. The lady is my aunt. The man: her husband, my uncle. The boy: her son, my cousin."

He stared at me and all the confusion let his face. He let go of me and grabbed his phone out of his pocket. He fiddled with it until he held the phone directly next to my face and looked from the phone to my face and back again. He pulled his phone back and turned it to me.

"Is this you?" He asked in a quiet voice. I looked at the picture on the screen and saw a picture of me that day 2 years ago when my mom made me put my quince dress back on.

I nodded my head,"How did you get that picture?"

"My mum sent this picture to me. She got it from her best friend."

"Is your mum's name Patricia Malik?" He nodded

"And your dad is Yaser Malik?" He nodded again

"So your Zayn Malik?" He nodded again this time eagerly

"Your my cousin," I stated, but it sounded more like a question.

"Yes I'm your cousin and you're Laura Isadora Gonzales."

"Yeah. How do you know my middle name?"

"My mum told me that your middle name is after our great grandmother."

"Wow you know more about me than I know about you."

"Yeah I guess I do" he laughed

"So, um can I get my picture back. I really need to get back."

He handed me the picture and his phone, "Put your number in."

I grabbed the picture and his phone and put in my number. When I was done I handed it to him and said a quick bye while running away, leaving my cousin behind.

I got back to the flat in a minute and ran to eat. Marcus just stared at me as I ate. When I finished I looked up at Marcus and he shook his head.

"Are you sure your a girl? You eat like a guy" he laughed

I reached across the table and punched his arm. "Shut it or your not going to feel that arm for a good 2 hours."

"Okay. So why were you gone for so long and didn't answer your phone?"

"I just went to Starbucks and lost track of time."

"Ooh okay. By the way I got you a job at Hollister. I work there so we can car pool where we have the same shifts."

"Okay"

"And I asked my uncle if he could give you a place cheap. And he said you could live in the 2nd pent house... For free until you can afford it. I already moved some of your stuff in and I just need help taking down the bed, dressers, and desk. By the way desk-closet thing is genius."

"Thanks. So your already kicking me out? I thought you loved me?" I faked sobbed into my hands.

"Ooh I do love you. Its just I think you need a place of your own. And the music room up there is a lot bigger than this one. And there is also an art room."

"Wow is there more?"

"Yes there is. You have a pool and gym that only you and the other pent house can use."

"Okay then well I'm just gonna go to bed and we can take my other stuff up in the morning."

"Okay good night. Sweet dreams, Li" he said giving me a hug and kiss on the check.

"Night Mar" I said with a yawn.

I walked to my room and changed into my PJs and got into bed. I was almost sleep when my phone went off.

From Unknown Number:

Nice to meet you cousin. We need to meet up again and learn more about each other. -ZM

To Zayn:

Yeah we should. I'll text you tomorrow. I'm going to bed. Bye

I sent it and fell asleep
