Rebuilding Zerrie

This is It

My mom was there to welcome me home. She seems like she'd been waiting overnight for me to arrive. She hugged me like she would never see me again. "Don't you ever do that again, you hear me?" My mom said, letting go of our embrace. "Never ever ever do that again. Promise me that."

"I promise you, mom," I assured, looking straight into the teary eyes of my mother. I wouldn't want anybody else for a mom. She was absolutely perfect. And she was a Directioner.

"The twins are out but Maegan's upstairs," my mom told me. "So is your brother." I looked back at Niall and gestured for us to go upstairs. He nodded and just when we were on our way up, someone was on their way down. Just by the sound of their footsteps, I could tell who it was. When I saw the familiar suit, I certain I knew who it was.

My brother and I stared at each other for what seemed like years. The corners of my lips were curved as I looked at my older brother but his eyes looked infuriated. Just as he was about to speak, I hugged him before he had the chance. "I'm sorry, Kiefer," I whispered into the black blazer. "It won't happened again."

I heard him sigh before he returned the embrace. He pulled away before I started crying. "Just make sure you don't start another revolution in the fangirl world, okay?" Kiefer said, his hands on my shoulders. I smiled and made my way past him and upstairs.

"Have fun at work!" I yelled back at him, not turning around.

"I will!" He shouted back.

The door to my room had been stripped off its posters. It was now a plain shade of green. I started to wonder why on Earth would my sister tear the posters down. We walked into the room to see Maegan packing. "Oh, hey, Kloe," she greeted enthusiastically while dumping her clothes into a suitcase. "Hi, Nialler."

"Where are you going?" I asked before anything else. I knew it was rude but she had a lot of explaining to do.

She grinned widely and squealed, "I got accepted into Oxford University!"

I didn't know what to say. My mouth was agape as I gasped in excitement. We jump-hugged as we screamed and shrieked. "Oh my glob, I am so happy for you!" I congratulated. "This is amazing! When did you apply?" Maegan pulled away from the jump-hug and answered.

"I didn't," she explained with much gusto. "They sent me a letter saying that I just have to fly over there and have the interview with the dean to make me an official student by fall. If it hadn't been for Harry, I wouldn't have--"

"Wait," I stopped her mid-sentence. "Harry? Since when was Harry involved in this?"

My sister bit her cheek as she exchanged looks with Niall, who was standing behind me. "Oh shoot," she swore. "But I shouldn't have said a word."

"Just tell her," Niall ordered and Maegan obliged.

"Harry talked to the dean," Maegan further elaborated for me. "He said that he'd be donating a generous cheque to their school each term and he'd be paying for half of my tuition. I tried to object but he was quite firm with this."

"Harry did all that?" My jaw was wide open. "For you?"

"Yes, Kloe," she sounded quite pissed now. "Some people are more than half the man you are." I couldn't believe it. Harry. Harry Styles could do something so life-changing for my family. It had me thinking, what if that wasn't the only good deed he's done for us?

Oh oh oh

Baby, you'll be saving mine."

"Great," Savan applauded when they finished. "Really amazing. Congratulations, Summer Sutherland on completing your first song in SYCO Records!"
