Let's Go There Together

Chapter 19

The next day, I invited my family: my parents, Jonnie and Caitlin, to Jade and I's apartment but they thought it would be better if I came to South Shields instead and stayed with them for the night then come back tomorrow because the day after tomorrow, I'll be at work. So when I told Zayn on the phone, he thought he wanted to come just to visit a few of his cousins and family who are in South Shields so, why not? He picked me up at nine and we went on our way for the five hours road trip.
"Let's ask hard questions while on this long boring way." I proposed. "What would be your speech if you just graduated from school?"
"I'd like to thank all my music, books, inspirations and everything that helped me survive that shit."
"Sounds like a good student." I laughed.
"Now, what is the one thing you did in the past and you wish you could undo?" Zayn asked. "Other than being with Adams and all that shit." That's better but well, I gotta remember something.
"Well, a confession." I started. "When I was in tenth grade, a girl called me fat during p.e so I pulled her shorts down while we were running and I took a detention and they called my parents and stuff." Zayn screamed out of laughers the second I finished my sentence.
"Sounds like a thing you'd do."
"That's why I did it." I smirked jokingly. "Where do you think we are going next for the traveling and stuff?"
"Let's sell the ocean and I won't give a damn about my phobia. Let's travel with a hot air ballon and I won't care about my fear of highs. Let's stay for weeks in the desert traversing with camels; let's do whatever and go wherever we can go, but let's go there together."
"Aww." I just awed because I didn't know how to respond. "Now, in a guy friend way."
"Did you really have to? I was getting into the boyfriend mood" He asked jokingly. "Let's throw you out of my car and let you wait for someone else to pick you because you never get me into this boyfriend mood." I laughed slightly before I tried to change the subject.
"What if you seriously went to The X-Factor or something, that would be so cool like the judges and the fans and stuff." I suggested.
"Well, photographing and drawing are kind of my main hobbies and I never took singing seriously so, I don't know though." He smiled and looked at me. "What about you?"
"Haha no way Zayne I'm quite shy in front of so many people and oh my god i don't even know how to sing properly, i sing like shit."
"It's amazing, your singing like shit." He looked at me with half closed drunken eyes before I hit him playfully on the shoulder.

At three I was in front of the door of my family's house. Zayn helped me placing my suitcases in front of their door before he said goodbye with a kiss and went away, I was welcomed by the four of them hugging me so hard that I gotta visit an orthopedist.

I took a nap. When I woke up, mum was cooking, Caitlin was on the phone, Jonnie was playing with his video games and I was chatting with dad about the Zerrie adventures in three indescribable countries. "What's his name again?" Dad asked as I swiped between our pictures together.
"It's Zayn."
"PERRIE LOUISE EDWARDS COME UP RIGHT NOW." I've heard Caitlin calling from upstairs.
"What's wrong." I said as I opened the door, annoyingly because I know it will be something stupid, used to that.
"Take some pictures of me in this outfit." She handed me her phone and fixed her hair. See, stupid stuff!
"Do i really have to? Like seriously." I took her phone and she posed on the wall, I guess it's for her blog or something? Yes, my sister is a blogger.

"Remember when you stole my candy so as a revenge, I sticked so many used gum in your hair and you had to use like so many toothpaste to get them out." Jonnie said as we ate our dinner.
"I wouldn't like to remember such a thing." I laughed.
"Oh! And remember when you didn't want to give me your dress so I cut so many parts of it so you wouldn't wear it either!" Caitlin said with her eyes wide open.
"Are we gathered here today to remember awful childhood memories or something?" Mum asked, I guess, jokingly. "Let the girl talk a bit."
"Well, at least I didn't waste toothpaste. » Caitlin mumbled.
"Oh yeah, but cutting your sister's dress is fine?"
"JONNIE." Mum shouted. "Grounded."
"What the actual-"
"No video games, no hangouts with your friends, no phone, just stay in your room for two whole weeks."
"FINE." He said before he left the dinning room and up to his room. Didn't know mum treated Jonnie like a kid. Never expected that.
"Is it usual?" I asked breaking the sound of the forks and the knives hitting their plates.
"What is usual?" Dad asked as they three looked at me.
"Jonnie being grounded and stuff, I thought he was all grown."
"He IS grown." Mum answered. "Grounding is never only for children."
"It IS for children." Dad said. "You've always treated your all-grown-up son like a baby until he became one."
"WHY WOULD I TREAT MY SON LIKE A BABY?"
"BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOOD AT."
"YOU ARE AT MY HOUSE!"
"I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOUR HOUSE!"
"Calm down you two please!" Caitlin tried to calm the heck down of them. They kept, shouting, screaming while I had my head between both my hands. I started the fight with the question, I'll end this with an order.
"STOP!" I screamed. "I'm out of here."
I put my shoes on, grabbed my phone and got out of there. What a headache to live with! I wouldn't be able to stay with them for longer. I wonder how Jonnie lives with her. Dad is more like a different person, a totally different person than the one I lived with. It's like they switched personalities. I'm just gonna forget about those two and take a walk.
