[EPILOGUE]

"Welcome to the team Fred." Coach Saxon smiled at the teenager. The latter shuddered at that name. Only Estiree was allowed to call him that! He sighed sadly at the mere thought of her. "Is there something the matter?"

"No, uh, I'm just missing my girlfriend."

"That's beautiful. Now get your ass onto that field and practice with your new team mates." It seemed that Coach didn't care for Freddie's romantic problems. There again, he and Mrs. Saxon were getting divorced, according to the current gossip. "Sebastian, I miss the guy, said you're quite good at Football so I need to see it for myself. You're first string for a reason, Fred."

"Don't worry about him." The Hawaiian goalkeeper told him in reassurance. "He's always been this. Fantastic coach though." He held out his gloved hand. "I'm Danny Reno, by the way; I'm the goalie."

"Ah, I'm Freddie Song, I'll be playing Mid Fielder." He shook the other boy's hand, happy to meet an ally. Freddie decided he needed more friends since Kaleb and Sebastian had disappeared to play daddy. He was happy for them but he missed them all the same.

"This is a really posh school." Geoffrey whistled as Juno, his best friend, eyed at the pillars. It was rather large, the reception area, the two had decided.

"Could you be less of a nuisance please?" Zayn begged, clinching his cane. Autumn had recommended dance as a form of therapy since it would strengthen the bones in his legs. He didn't like the idea of dancing anymore but he didn't want to feel like an old man. He was only seventeen for crying out loud.

"Can I help you?" A blonde woman had approached the group and Zayn thought he knew her from somewhere. She eyed Geoffrey in realisation. "Oh. Sorry, I didn't recognise you for a second. You must be Zayn, I'm Hayley Haynes; you may call me Aunt Hayley if you wish." She held out her hand and Zayn stared at it.

"It's nice to meet you too, Mrs. Haynes. I'll only call you aunt outside of this building." He told her in a polite tone, not attempting to shake her hand. Feeling humiliated, Hayley formed her hand into a fist placing it back against her hip.

"Well, how about a tour of the school and then we'll fill out the paperwork?"

"What about my audition?"

"The board was fairly pleased with your performance, Zayn. They told me that you had the grace and, how shall I say it, the emotion. They said that you got the point across beautifully and that Madame Mae cried once you left. She told me that she was very into your dance and she rarely cries, the Madame is a very firm woman." He smiled shyly at Hayley's words.

"Thank you, I didn't know if I did it any justice."

"If you didn't, you wouldn't be here this instant." She honestly told him before leading him down the corridor, explaining some rules as she went. A few feet away, stood a shocked blonde and red head.

"Was that Zayn?" Aurelia finally asked after the two remained silent for a few seconds. Amalia shrugged in disbelief.

"I'm surprised. He doesn't seem to be much of a dancer. The dark horse!" The two stared at the other before giggling. This was amusing!

"So, Zayn, are you going to show us your moves?" Aurelia greeted when he came over to her and Sebastian's flat the next week. He gave a strange look as fell back against the sofa in a fit of giggles. Zayn stared at Sebastian in worry.

"Should she be doing that and what is she going on about?"

"Well, as long as she stops soon she should be fine." Sebastian passed his cousin a mug full of hot chocolate. It was that weather for it now. "She told me about you being at her school last week getting a tour."

"Ah, right. I'm going to be studying dance as my doctor ordered. Accordingly, it'll help strengthen up my bones." Zayn sat down on one of the arm chairs as he watched Aurelia. "Apparently I made this Madame Mae cry her eyes out." The red head stopped laughing and stared at him.

"The ice queen? Oh my god! How in the holy hell did you do that?"

"By putting my feelings into dance." He sipped his hot chocolate ignoring the strange look she was going him.

"Be careful, Zayn, that might be a sign of her wanting you in her bed chambers." He spat out his drink in mere shock and repulsion. "Yes, quite disgusting. Just don't be alone with her during your time there, we don't want her to have her wicked way with you."

"Thanks for the warning." Zayn's voice sounded a bit raspy. He coughed to sort it out. "I'll keep it noted next to 'choose my boyfriends carefully'." Aurelia's eyes widened at his words and he gasped in realisation. "Crap! I didn't mean to say that. I'm not gay as I did like you and Astrid, remember?"

"That's the past, Zayn." Sebastian spoke up. "Everyone has quite forgiven you for that and it doesn't matter if you're gay. Everyone would support you."

"Don't tell my father and it doesn't leave this room." Zayn told the couple firmly. "I didn't mean to be gay."

"That's like saying Uncle Jacob didn't mean to have Isaac." Aurelia bit out. His grip on the mug tightened making his knuckles turn white. "Shit! What I meant was it isn't your fault. Whatever force it was is to blame. You were destined to like other guys, it isn't as if you chose whom you fancy. It doesn't work that way."

"She's right, Zayn. Not even I chose to be Alpha, if I'm honest. I'd have been happy if it was James or Fizz but I'm also glad I am. Because I'm with the love of my life." Aurelia had the decency to blush. Sebastian could be a right old sap at times and she loved him for him it. Zayn had called it cute and it was Sebastian's turn to blush. "Don't you dare call it cute! Only Elia can do that." Both Aurelia and Zayn laughed at his reaction.

It was only the beginning of things to come....
