New to Bradford

Chapter 2

Alissa's POV:

We don't have to work today, so plan to sleep in.

"Alissa! Alissa! You wake your, secret keeping arse up!" I guess those plans are ruined.

"What did I do this time, mum?" I ask.

"You're working with Zayn?" She said his name like it was some kind of curse word.

"Yes, yes I am. And I am quite busy today and every other day so you have no reason to make me quit."

"I am your mother, I can make you do anything I want you to!" She screams.

"Mum, this is insane! You can't control me!" I scream. I wouldn't be surprised if Zayn or Jasmine heard that.

"You are quitting that job. I got you a new one at a boutique downtown. You start tomorrow, no exceptions."

"I'm done. I'm done with your shit, mum. You can't force me to quit my job! I won't do it! I'm not working at that god damn boutique!" I scream.

"Get out." She holds the bridge of her nose and closes her eyes.

"I said get out!" She screamed. I didn't really know what to do. I grabbed my phone off the nightstand so i wasnt completely unprepared. She tells me to get out while I'm in my pajamas? What am I supposed to do? Just leave in shorts and a tank top?

I listen and go out on my fire ladder thing. Zayn got one too! That will make things much easier. I climb up on his and tap on the window. He gets up and looks out the window, startled. He opens it up and pokes my face.

"Am I imagining things or..." He trails off.

"My mum kind of kicked me out because I was working with you so I just came here." He sits and stares at me for about a minute.

"Oh! Come in! I was just making sure I wasn't going crazy or put on drugs or something." I laugh and he laughs a bit too.

"Since it's six thirty in the morning you can take my bed, I'll take the couch. And don't protest, I can throw you in the mud like yesterday if you do."

"Ok, thank you. It means a lot." He shakes his head and walks out of his room.

I lay on his bed, it smells like him. Wow I sound like a creeper. It doesn't take me long to go to sleep. I had a short dream that was basically a replay of yesterday but everyone I saw had a cat sitting on their shoulder. The things my mind makes up.

"Why is she here?" I hear someone whisper.

"Where is Zayn?" Another person.

"Did they do it?" Oh god.

"They probably did, Zayn really likes her." I'm glad I'm not facing them or they would be able to see my red cheeks.

"Should we wake her up?"

"No, we should tell mum and see how she reacts."

"I saw her move, run!" Someone whisper screams. And they all run into the next room which is Jasmines.

I can tell someone else walks in because I hear footsteps. I feel a dip on the other side of the bed, telling me they're sitting down.

"Alissa, get up. The girls want to see you but they're about to leave so you need to wake up." Zayn whispers really softly into my ear.

"Go away." I swat and I'm pretty sure I hit him in the face.

"I'll just send them in then." He huffs and gets up.
