CHAPTER 5

PEARL

"I'll help you mom." I said helping my mom to carry her grocery bags.

"Thank you,Pearl." she continued "Don't you think you should go back to California now?"

"No mom,I'm happy I'm back in Malaysia."

"But sweetie,it has been over 3 weeks since you left California."

"It is okay mom!"

"But your cousins and sisters are overseas now.Who are you going to hang out with?"

"Uhm..I guess you!"

"I only get to visit visitors for 30 minutes."

I sighed, "Maybe you're right." I continued, "I'll try catch up a flight to California this week."

Mom smiled, "Oh,goodbye dear my visiting time is over!"

"Goodbye mom!"

I got back to the hotel and quickly opened up my phone.

There was a flight at 23:40 to LA.That was the only flight to LA this week.Sigh.

I booked the flight.

I contacted mom.

"Mom I got a flight today."

"Great!"

"I'll meet you tonight before I leave,okay?"

"Sure sweetie.Now pack up your bags!"

I hung up the phone and continued to pack my bags.

It all happened when I walked away from Zayn and went to my old apartment.Surprisingly,Lea was next door and greeted me with a huge grin.I had no friends.Especially Perrie.I accepted her invitation after she invited me for breakfast.In just a day,we got to know each other more.Everything was fine until Zayn called.That was the time where I rushed to pack my bags and got out from the window in the toilet.I did so much just to get away from Zayn.Now,I regret it.I need to go home and apologize to him straight away.

I checked my email.I was hoping I recieved any messages about my application for the job at Wallmart.Yes,wallmart.You earn tons of money through this job.But so far,I recieved nothing.

I sighed.I checked out from the hotel and maybe I'll buy something for Zayn and Perrie.

I couldn't find much but I did find a cute necklace.The man told be it was carved all by himself.It really looked handmade.The necklace was made for couples.It had half a heart for the man and the other half for the girl.I purchased it for only RM(Malaysian currency)15.It was cute for them to share.

I went to my mom's place 4 hours before my flight.

"Does Perrie know you left?"

"Uhm..no."

"Pearl!"

"I-I know it was bad.But I just wanted to stay away."

"Pearl,she will be anxious!"

I sighed. "I know mom."

"You should go,now!"

"But mom!"

"No! Check in early!"

"B-But-"

"Quickly!"

My mom actually kicked me out.Uhm..okay.

I took a taxi and drove off to the airport.I checked in early.

Maybe I should text Perrie where I am--

No wait it is fine.

PAGE BREAK

"Welcome to Los Angelas!" The flight attendent welcomed me.I yawned and I was back.Great.

I took a taxi back home.Seeing that house again.Ugh.I knocked on the door.No answer.Wait--

It was a note

We are at the beach house.

-Z

Oh.Well thank goodness I had a key.I entered the place and put all my bags down.I unpacked them.Not forgetting the necklace,I left the place and drove off to the beach house.

I made sure I was going to the right place.The last time I've been here was when I was 19.Hopefully,I got the right place.The place was beautiful.Perrie's dad is so rich to buy this house.I parked the car and slowly went up and knocked on the door.I was so nervous.The door opened.It was Perrie.She smiled but her smiled faded as she noticed me.I noticed Zayn at the back.

"P-Pearl." Perrie stuttered.

"I'm sorry I left you guys like that."

"Where were you?" Zayn approached me.

"I was back at home.At Malaysia."

"What were you doing there?!"

"I went to visit my mom."

Perrie sighed in relieve, "You bitch I was worried!" She said hugging me tightly.

"Yeah,I'm sorry."

Zayn didn't look so pleased though.He didn't forget what I told him that night?

Perrie pulled away and invited me for breakfast.

"You didn't let us know you went off!"

"Sorry,I just really wanted to meet my mom." I lied

Perrie sighed. "Well,what is important is that you're back!"

I smiled a bit.Zayn still didn't look so pleased.I got off my seat, "I need some fresh air." I said leaving my seat.

I walked out to refreshen up.My toes were in the sand and I felt the cool wind blowing my hair.I could only hear the relaxing sound of the waves.But the sound was interrupted.

"Is that the real reason why you left home?" A manly voice spoke.

It was Zayn.I wasn't sure what to say.

"Yes."

Zayn chuckled, "Stop lying.You suck at that."

"W-What- Well uhm-- Uhm--"

"Now tell me,was it about the confession you told me a few weeks ago?"

I didn't want Zayn to know my true feelings for him.I walked away from him,speechless.

I went back to Perrie.I sighed, "So Perrie how is everything?"

I looked through the windo.Zayn no longer looked at me and continued to look at the waves.

"I'm proposing to Zayn." she said.

"WHAT?!"
