Zayn's Pov

Beep Beep Beep Beep

The constant sound of checking things out was starting to give me a headache and to add onto this the old lady I was checking in wouldn't stop telling me about how I should cut my hair and how her coupons were still usable. I sighed and just nodded while she suddenly started to talk about her grandchildren.

"That's $20.85 ma'am." I smiled softly putting some of her bagged items in her cart.

"Did you add the coupons?" She questioned reaching in her wallet

"Yes ma'am."

"Ok thank you dear, have a nice day honey, and remember there's that Great Clips down the street when you decide to get that haircut." She said walking out the automatic sliding door.

I heard Niall's let out a loud laugh.

"Yeah Zayn get a haircut."

"I think my hair looks fine." I mumble checking out the next person in line. After I finished with the other lady I started to re-shelve the aisles with cereals and canned food and other items. I started to hum along with the music playing softly in the background of the store trying to make the boring task a little more exciting.

"Hey Zayn!" I heard a voice yell from down the aisle of the spot I was re-stocking. I looked up and saw the guy Robert, from last night.

"Hi." I said smiling continuing my work

"You work here? That's cool." I raised an eyebrow at him as he tried to make conversation with me over something like my job. I listened to him continue to ramble on about how cool it was that I worked here with my friends and how he wished he could work with Nikki and Alice.

"How is Nikki?" I interrupted him while he was talking about his job at the aquarium. He looked shocked that I asked but then put on a smile.

"Ah she is great!! She just got into NCAU which is pretty exciting."

"Oh what is she studying there?"

"Its an art school Zayn, she isn't studying really anything, just takes classes on how to improve her artwork and to try and get her artwork out in the public eye."

"Oh." I said slightly embarrassed

"Yeah its pretty cool!! You should she her artwork its awesome!" He then started to ramble about her artwork and what she did.

My headache had gotten larger by the time he said he should continue shopping because, and I quote, he was getting low on the goods. I mean Robert is a good guy but he wont stop talking! I watched as he walked out of the aisle and taking a right. I rubbed my temples and let out a huff, looking down into the box of things needing to be stocked, and seeing it was empty. Smiling, I walked into the back placing the empty box in the trash can. I turned around and saw Harry and Robert talking to each other, laughing and hitting each others arms.

I walked past them and heard Harry yell after me

"Hey Zayn!! You remember Robert right??" He asked patting Robert's back

"Yeah we already talked." I said smiling at the both of them. Robert waved and I waved back and started to walk to John's office.

"Im leaving early Harry." Zayn yelled taking off his name tag.

"Ok bud!! I'll call you later!!" Harry yelled still in deep conversation with Robert, I walked over to John who was sitting ask his desk.

"im leaving early, not feeling to well." I said placing my name tag on the desk. Starting towalk from the office

"Ok Zayn, get better bud!!" He called looking up to smile at me. I gave him the thumbs up and started to walk from the store remembering Niall drove me to work this morning. I groaned not really wanting to catch the bus, knowing my headache would only get worse.

You could just be healthy and walk home Zayn I thought to myself. I was about to go inside and wait until Niall went on Lunch break to drive me home, but I decided it would be nice to go on a walk. So I started down the road to my small house. The walk is much longer than I though. I have already been walking for about 10 minutes and I was only half way to my house. I groaned quietly until I saw where I was. Smiling brightly, I jogged to the small coffee shop that I had loved since I moved here. Walking in hearing the chime of the bell above me I smiled smelling the scent of the coffee beans and cinnamon rolls.

"ZAYN!" I heard a women's voice yell and I turned to see Mrs. Ship standing there smiling at me

"Hey momma." I grinned walking over to her pulling her into my arms for a large hug.

"its been way too long Zayn where have you been?" She asked going behind the counter making me my favorite coffee blend.

"I was here yesterday, I even asked about you but you weren't here!!!" I smiled pulling out my wallet as she placed the drink in front of me. She waved her hand and pushed the money back.

"Its on the house Zayn." She smiled

"Thanks Momma!" I smiled sipping the coffee.

"So where you headed babe?" she asked knowing I should probably be at work by now.

"Im heading home, Im not feeling to well, just a headache." I smiled softly

"Oh my poor Zayn!!' she cooed "Do you need a ride home darling?" she asked in her rich American accent

"I think I'll finish my walk, thanks Mrs. Ship." I said leaving the small shop

"Anytime baby!! Come back soon!!" she called after me smiling and waving slightly

"Bye!" I called leaving the shop. I sighed as I walked down the path to my house feeling the warm sun hit my skin. I smiled and looked at the scenery around me. Taking in the trees and animals and the different flowers surrounding my community.

I had finally arrived home, thrilled to pieces. Rex was surprised but none the less happy to see me. I got down on my knees petting him playfully

"Aw whos a good boy whos a good boy!!" I cooed rubbing his ears. He barked and wagged his tail :That's right you're a good boy!!" I got up and walked over to my kitchen cabinet grabbing a glass of water and a pill to swallow for my headache.

Placing the pill on my tongue then swallowing it with a gulp of water I turned to Rex

"Now im hoping in the shower can you handle the house until im down?" I asked the dog waiting for an answer.

"Im going crazy." I told myself as I grudged up the steps. I stepped into the bathroom, putting on my shower so that fog started to blur the bathroom mirror. I yawned slightly and started to strip hopping into the hot shower that awaited me

(A/N Sorry this took so long!! Not that anyone cares.... :) see ya soon my lovelies!!)
