The New Boy

Medication

Mina's POV

''Isabella?'' You asked confused. Her eyes widened and her lips parted slightly. She couldn't be.. Could she? ''Is this Zayn's daughter?'' You asked more sternly now. ''H-How do you know?'' She stuttered as she quick pulled Avery back to herself. ''I know Zayn..'' You said as you took a seat on the sofa. How could Avery be alive? ''Please don't tell him about this.'' She pleaded as tears trickled down her cheek. ''Will you explain it to me?'' You replied back. She nodded. ''I'll just put Avery to sleep.'' She said and walked upstairs, you followed her to show her the guest room. You had to say, Avery was a gorgeous little 4 year old. She had the same hazel/green coloured eyes as Zayn and the same lips and nose, absolutely adorable. But how could this be his daughter when she was drowned two years ago? Isabella put Avery to sleep and quick walked downstairs with you again. ''So..'' You began, encouraging her to tell you the story. ''Zayn got me knocked up when I was 16..'' She began slowly and cleared her throat. ''I didn't want the baby ofcourse cause my life would be ruined.'' She said. You looked at her in disbelief, how can you think about your child in that way? ''Zayn begged me to keep the baby so I did but he would have to take care for her alone.'' She said and you nodded for her to continue. ''I went to live with my parents after Avery's birth but started doing drugs cause of the stress. One day, two years after Avery's birth, I was walking down the streets when suddenly two man came rushing up to me with a child. I looked in disbelief as they handed me the two year old kid. I recognized them as one of Zayn's gang members.'' She said and sighed deep. ''They told me to keep Avery with me and don't tell Zayn anything about it. They told me they had him making believe Avery was drowned just to make him miserable. I agreed and took care of Avery ever since then, with the help of my parents.'' She said and let out a deep sigh when she was done. ''So, all this time you knew how miserable Zayn was for thinking Avery was drowned, and you didn't tell him anything..?'' You said slowly to her. ''Yes bu-'' She began but you cut her off. ''You can't just keep his daughter away from him Isabella, what's wrong with you?'' You asked frustrated. Tears trickled down her cheek and you immediately felt bad for scolding her. She muttered something under her breath when she went through her purse. You saw she was grabbing a little bag with white powder in it. ''Is that..?'' You began carefully and she nodded. ''Doctor's medication, for the stress.'' She assured before she sniffed the coke. You didn't quite believe her but maybe she was right. ''You need to tell Zayn about this.'' You said sternly. Again, tears trickled down her cheek. ''No he'll hate me forever for not telling him sooner.'' She muttered as she took another sniff. ''It's not like you deserve his love Isabella.'' You snapped at her. She knew all along Avery was alive and kept her on the other side of the country while Zayn was living with guilt. ''Just think about it, how do you think he will handle this? Will he be happy about Avery? Do you think everything would immediately go back to normal? Ofcourse not.'' She said and sighed deep. ''Fine, I'll go to sleep.'' You mumbled as you stood up and left Isabella in the livingroom.

While you were in bed, you were thinking. She did had a point though, how would Zayn react on this news? It was major news, would he be able to cope with that? Everything in his life went well for once, he was back in school, almost settled in and felt good, would you be the one who would ruin that..? With that thought you fell asleep. 

The next morning your alarm clock rang and you quick shut it. You took a shower before deciding what to wear. You were still thinking about this whole Avery situation. Would you tell Harry about it..? You decided to wear a leather legging with a loose white top and a baggy army green jacket. You quick put your Toms on before leaving downstairs. You still had some time till Harry and Zayn would pick you up. Hopefully Isabella wouldn't come downstairs till then. When you were downstairs, you suddenly saw Avery sitting on the sofa by herself. ''Hey princess.'' You said smiling to her as you sat down next to her. First she looked afraid as to who was talking to her but then gave you a quick hesitant smile. ''You're up early.'' You said as you tried to make an conversation with the shy girl. ''Mummy likes to sleep out, not me.'' She said and smiled quickly before staring back in front of her. ''Oh okay, would you like to eat something?'' You asked her. She nodded slowly and you leaded her to the kitchen. You tilted her on a bar stool and made her some cereal. ''Do you like that?'' You asked her as she was munching on her cereal. She nodded smiling and continued eating. Suddenly the doorbell rang which startled you, shit you have Avery here. She was done with her cereal and looked at you with her big hazel eyes, just like Zayn's. There was no doubt she was Zayn's daughter. ''Erm, would you like to play upstairs?'' You said smiling to her as she just shrugged her shoulders. ''Come on, I'll show you something fun!'' You said to her as you leaded her upstairs. Again the doorbell rang. You brought her into your old game room, it was full of puzzles and games and other stuff you played with when you were a child. For some reason, your parents had stored that. ''When I come back from school, we'll play together okay princess?'' You said to her and she beamed when she saw all the toys in the room. You hesitated but gave her a quick hug before you walked downstairs. You quick opened the front door, only to see two unpatient boys. ''You're late.'' Harry grinned as he leaned in to give you a kiss. You denied his kiss and quick closed the door before walking to his car. ''So what's the sudden rush?'' Zayn asked as he stepped in the car with Harry. ''Nothing..'' You said smiling, if only he knew... Harry raised an eyebrow at you but you ignored the looks they were giving you. The three of you walked up to te schoolyard and you could literally feel your heart beating out of your chest. If only Zayn knew what you knew. Harry walked next to you and pulled you somewhere private to talk. You couldn't look in his eyes and lie to him so you just faced his chest. ''Is there something wrong Mina?'' He asked worried. ''No why?'' You said smiling. ''Nothing, I just th-'' He began but you cut him off. You needed to get away from him, you couldn't lie. ''I'm fine but I'll be with Jane, bye honey.'' You said as you mentally face palmed yourself, you never called Harry honey, now he would defenitely suspect something. You turned to face Harry and he was grinning by now. ''Honey?'' He mimicked and chuckled softly. ''Shut up.'' You muttered as you walked past him in the school.
