Dance in the Family (1D, bk 2)

Chapter One

Here we go, book two! Guys, thoughts?

Haley: I'm so excited! I'm starting with a clean state, no dancing. I finally let Zayn talk me into singing... and I hope I won't regret it.

Liam: We've all heard you sing at least once, Hales! You're amazing!

Zayn: Mica sent me a video of a song you wrote a while back. I want you to sing that for our first concert!

Eleanor: I'm even going to go so I can watch!

This is book two! What do you think will happen? No spoilers now!

Haley: But... we know exactly what's going to happen...

Okay, stupid question then. Shall we begin? How about right where we left off. [winks]

Haley's POV

"Haley, will you marry me?" Zayn asked. I gasped and covered my mouth. The ring was beautiful, and I could tell he'd found it specifically with me in mind. I didn't know what to say.

If I said yes, I could see a very bright but busy future for us. If I said no, I knew my life would slowly fall apart. But was I ready for marriage? Was I ready to start this future? I know I had a new start after that coma, and I know I still wanted to have a child (too badly to function some days... it's gotten bad at times), but was I ready now? I didn't know.

"Zayn... I'm not saying no. But... I'm not ready to get married yet either. I'm only nineteen, and I don't know what exactly what it is I'm doing... the coma made me see a lot of things, but I'm not ready to do anything big like this... I need a bit of time," I explained.

He looked disappointed, but nodded. Then he stood and handed me the box with the ring. "Hold onto it. That way, if you make up your mind, you'll have the ring to wear or give back. That can be how you answer," he told me. I nodded, smiling. We shared a quick kiss before going in the house to sleep.

Mica's POV

I was on the plane, on my way to London. Only Niall knew I was on my way back, and he wasn't supposed to have told anyone. However, I knew he told Haley while she was sleeping. She didn't know that it was real, and I was glad. According to Niall, she was really depressed about this. Apparently, she had dreamt about having a baby... then woke up without one. That would hurt the strongest person.

Nialler: Have you landed yet?

Me: No, I have another half hour before touch-down.

Nialler: I'm at the airport way early then, oops. Oh well, I'll stick around. ;)

Me: You're such a goof! How's Haley?

Nialler: Home and safe. She made up with Beth today, I guess. According to Zayn anyways.

Me: I'm so proud of her! And Skylar? Is she around there or back in NY?

Nialler: NY. Sky wants to fly her out for the tour when it starts again. You'll be coming too, right?

Me: I haven't been formally asked or anything, but I intended to.

Nialler: Okay, this is me formally asking. Want to come?

Me: Of course I want to! :D

Nialler: Yay! I'm more excited now! But did Haley tell you she's not going to dance anymore?

Me: No... she hasn't said anything to me. I'm not really surprised though I guess. She's hated it for a while.
