Maya's P.O.V
The paparazzi showed no mercy when they kept flashing their lights and taking their pictures. Zayn looked up at me and ignores the flashes. "Why didn't you tell me before?" He asks and something about his voice tells me that he is a little bit annoyed.
"To be honest I wanted to see your reaction without you knowing who the person is. That way I could get your real opinion."
Zayn nods slowly and grabs his red pen, writing down some things in my journal. I could not make out what he wrote down because he closed the journal when I tried to look and he smirks slightly as he looks up at me.
"What did you write?" I ask him and try to grab my journal, only to get stopped him. Zayn grabs my hand in his and looks me in the eyes. "You will see in class Miss Payton." Too distracted by him holding my hand and looking me in the eye, I forgot about the paparazzi until we heard them shouting and going wild.
"Zayn are you two dating?!"
"Who is this young lady?!"
"Are you a couple?!"
"Another girl?"
Zayn slowly takes his hand away from mine and I'm so thankful that they cannot come inside because they're not allowed to.
I look at him curiously when he gets up and walks to the cashier, asking for something. From the way she was pointing to the back,showing the bathrooms I guess he asked where the toilets are. The papparazi kept taking pictures which annoyed me but that was he last thing I need to worry about. I look around,hoping that nobody sees me and I take back my journal.
I really want to see what he wrote down. I open my journal and just as I'm about to read somebody coughs in a harsh way to get my attention. Not just somebody.
Zayn Malik
"So miss Payton who allowed you to go through my things?" He raises his eyebrow and crosses his arms. "I am sooo sorrry Zayn I just want to read what you wrote down!" I whine softly,hoping that he would forgive me. He shakes his head and sits back down.
"I uhm should go " I say after a couple of minutes filled with deathsilence and him going through the other journals. He looks up and nods slowly.
"Remember this. Keep your head high and don't talk back." At first the comment he made confused me until I finally got it. Don't talk to the paparazzi and don't look down. Pretty easy to do.
"Alright Malik, have a good day and thank you for the coffee."
The second I walk out of the café the papparazi starts to bombard me with questions. Head high. Dont talk back. That's all I repeat in myself.
I'm thankful that they did not follow me and I made my way back to Jessica's house. She opened the door and pulled me in a tight hug. "Guess who I walked into today." I say and smile softly. Zayn wasn't that bad I guess.
"Who?! Robert Pattinson?! Or Or Tyler Possey?! Oh my God Maya tell me!" This girl is all hyped up and the second I slip Zayn's name out of my mouth I earn a loud squeal from her.
"You saw him again?! Oh my God tell me what happened." I laugh softly and explain to her about what happened. "Gosh the papparazi is crazy though." It took me a lot of time to explain her what happened because she kept talking inbetween but I made it. "Anyway Jess I'm going back home to talk to my mom." She nods slightly and gives me a quick hug,whising me goodluck. Okay here we go.

I open the frontdoor with my key and walk inside towards the livingroom. It was very quiet and weird. "Hello? Mom Dad? Anybody home?" No reply.
I make my way to the kitchen and see a note.
Dear Maya,
I am currently at the house of your grandmom because your dad will stay at this house for a short period. I am sorry for calling you at school. I'll see you soon x
Love, Mom
This annoys me a lot because she knows that I don't want to be left alone with him. It's not that I don't love him but I know how he can get when he is upset. Or angry. Or drunk. I sit back down on the couch and watch some Tellie for a couple of hours until I'm bored so I decide to go to my room.
I walk up the stairs towards my room and once I get in there, my eyes widen at the sight.
Everything was a mess. All my books and things that were once lying on the bureau are all scattered on the floor, my beautiful artwork that I made is ripped in pieces, my mirror is cracked everything is on the floor, make up thrown on the walls,showing the stains on the painted wall. Everything is ruined. Even my clothes are ripped and on the floor.
The tears started escaping my eyes but I am trying so hard not to cry. Just as I'm about to leave I feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn around immediately and look up at the man that I call father.
"Welcome back you dumb bitch you're finally back. You like it? This is how your room will look from now on." His harsh voice surprised me and I flinch slightly. Since when did he get home?
Unlike my mother, my father is very aggressive when he's drunk. And by the way his breath smells, I know he's drunk. His hand raises and makes contact with my cheek. Hard may I add and I flinch, holding my cheek.
I look up at him in terror and quickly take a couple of steps back.
"Oh this is just the beginning Boo." He says and smirks at me.
His eyes gaze down to my body and before he had a chance to do anything, I run out of the house. This man was too intoxicated to progress what was happening and I made it out of there on time.
By the time I'm in my car I realise I have nowhere to go. I really did not want to go to Jessica because she has other important things to do. I started to drive without thinking and I kept driving until I was infront of his house.
He probably isn't even here and I feel stupid for driving my way here but my body somehow has control over me and I walk towards his frontdoor, knocking on it without thinking. The tears still sliding down my cheeks.
He opens the door and when he sees me he looks at me in shock. "Oh my God-"
He pulls me in immediately and closes the door, looking me in the eye. I look away and try to hold it all together but fail.
Zayn's P.O.V
This was my third attempt at making pasta but I just couldn't do it. Too frustrated to try again, I call my personal chef. "Mario could you please come here?" I ask and smile when he says he'll be there in ten.
It was a nice day today just coffee in the morning and now I'm here all alone still working on the journals. My thoughts get interrupted by a knock on the door and I smile widely. "Hey Mari-" My eyes widen as I see Maya standing here with red puffy eyes and I pull her immediately inside.
"Maya are you okay? What happened?" She looks me in the eyes and that's when she breaks down. I wrap my arms around her petite body and rub her back gently. "Hey shh it's going to be okay. Let's sit down."
I lead us to the livingroom and gently sit her down on the couch. She seems exhausted so I help her take her shoes off and let her lay down.
"Take a nap alright? And then we will talk." She nods slowly and flutters her eyes closed. I look down at her and notice a handprint on her cheek. Does she have an abusive boyfriend or something?
The doorbell rings and this time it was Mario. I ask him quietly to make pasta for two and he nods quickly and does his job without asking questions. I could see that he was curious but this was none of his business.
It was around 8 PM when she woke up slightly paniced when she takes in her new surroundings. She calms down when she sees me and I smile gently. "Let's eat shall we?" She stands up and nods slowly "Y-Yeah let's eat."
Guys I have finally decided who'll play Maya in this book. And it is Lucy Hale!!! Whatcha think?
THIS CHAPTER IS PROBABLY SHORT I KNOW OMG AND PROBABLY TOO MUCH DRAMA TO HANDLE BUT THIS WILL BE THE REASON FOR ZAYN TO DO SOMETHING WINK WINK.
Love y'all
