Brown Eyes (Zayn Malik fanfic)

Chapter 1

Mia P.O.V.

"Mia just answer me ! Why didnt you like that house back in America ? Since you were ten you were always telling me . Move Move Move Move but never gave me a valid reason why." My mother asked for the 100th time. "Okay fine..what happened when I was ten?" I stared into her eyes. She swallowed and said," your father left us...". I nodded, "Exactly, so I don't want to be in a house that reminds me of dad every second." I lied.

I hate lying to my mother but ..its just best If she didn't know. I looked at her eyes and noticed they were watery. "Oh mom," I said as I brought her into a hug. The taxi stopped. "Excuse me miss but we're here," the man said. I gently pulled away from my mother and gave the taxi man a twenty, " keep the change, " I said . "And Thank You." The man smiled. I helped my mom out the car and got our bags. I turned my head to look at the new house. My eyes popped out of their sockets. "Oh my god... mom!" I shouted. She came over to me and looked at the house. "The house is beautiful, isn't it?" She smiled. I stood there staring at it, "I mean yes it's beautiful but mom come on, this house is huge. Its only gonna be me and you living in it." I whined.

She frowned, "Mia, please don't start with me. You wanted to move so we did, now you're going to deal with this huge house whether you like it or not." I sighed and nodded my head. She was right over all. I walked inside the house and dropped our bags by the door. I walked around the house trying to warm up to it and was amazed by everything i saw, the hanging chandelier to the huge flat screen tv, and the unnecessary 6 bedrooms. A sliding door lead outside displaying a basketball court and a beautiful waterfall that led into a big pool.

I walked back inside and up the stairs to pick out a room, I found one at the end of the hall. It had a walk-in-closet and a big bathroom. On the other side of the room there was two doors that led to a balcony, you could see everything from here it was breathtaking. I walked out of the room to go get my bags, when I ran into my mom in the hallway. "Oh hey mum." I said awkwardly. "Hi honey, by the looks of it you've picked out your room, correct?" I nodded. " Well that's good," she smiles. "Mia I really hope you end up loving this house. I just want to give you the best and make up for what your father did to us six years ago." Oh mom if only you knew the truth. I grab her hands and hold them, "Mum I promise you with all my heart that I will try my best to like this house as much as you do," I put on my best smile and kiss her cheek.

"Thank you Mia." She gives me a long hug then goes in the direction of her room to put her stuff away.

Why couldn't I just be thankful for what my mum does for us? I just disappoint her over and over. But I do it to keep us safe. If my father wouldn't have left, everything would be different, we'd still be a family. I mean me and my mom are doing just fine by ourselves, she has her own line of beauty products and they're selling really great right now. I'm more into not doing anything at all, but I do have a huge passion for the theatre and I really love to bake. When I was younger I dreamed of owning my own pastry shop and though it was a bit silly, I wanted to be an actress at the same time. Crazy right? But that dream has been pushed aside...there is more important things right now.

I headed downstairs and walked into the kitchen and saw my mum putting away cups, plates, pans, and other kitchen stuff in cabnets and drawers. "Need anything honey?" She asked as to knowing i was stading right there. "Is there anything I could help you with?" I asked. She stopped what she was doing and turned around, " Why don't you go and take a walk around the neighborhood and get to know it?" I thought about it, but I didn't want to leave my mum by herself."Ummm..will you be okay by yourself?" She smiled and nodded. "Mia, I've been by myself for the past six years..I think I'll be okay," She replied. Her words made my heart ache. I walked out of the kitchen and headed towards the front door. "Wait, Mia!" My mother called out and walked towards me. "I forgot that I wanted to go over to the neighbors house and introduce myself, will you go with me?" She asked with hope in her eyes. "Of course mum, of course I'll go with you." She smiled and hooked her arm with mine and we both walked out the door. The sun was starting to set and me and my mum walked fast so we wouldn't lose daylight.
