The Bradford Bunhead: A One Direction Fan Fiction

Faithe

Zayn's POV

I woke up when I began to feel my bed shaking. I rubbed my eyes and Aria was jumping up and down on the bed.

"GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT!!!!" She shouted."

"What? What's going on?" I asked, concerned aout her energy. Well, I guess should not have been, she was always hyper. She stopped jumping and plopped down on the bd.

"Faithe's coming to visit! She's coming today! She's going to meet you!" She was so excited.

"Faithe? Lke, your cousin Faithe?"

"yes! She's my favorite cousin ever!" She exclaimed. I had heard of Faithe before. She was a cousinof Aria's, and the same age, no less. They were both really close, but she lived in Manchester, so she hd not seen Aria in a few years. Aria would have been really excited to see her.

"That's awesome!"

"I know. Look, t's almost lunchtime, so you need to shower and change. I need to make lunch, and she'll be here in an hour! Ahhhh!" She left the room. I showered and changed into sweats and a tshirt. I had left some clothes here, because I slept over a lot lately. We learned to spend as much time as possible together, becuase we never know when I have to leave.

i came into the kitchen, and Aria was cooking away.

"What ae you making?"

"gourmet grilled cheese and fresh chips and cake pops."

"What makes it gourmet?"

"Three types of cheese and tomato."

"Alright. 'nuff said." Then, there was a knock at the door.

"Oh my god! Zayn take this!"

"What?"

"Take this! Take the spatula from me!" She seemed instantly irritated.

"Oh! Be patient!"

"When have I ever been patient?"

"Point taken." I took the spatula and she ran to the door and flung it open. When she saw Faithe on the other side, they both screamed and hugged each other.

"Oh my god! It's so good to see you!" Faithe said.

"Same. Here, come meet Zayn." Then she whispered something to Faithe that I could not make out.

They walked over towards me. "Good to meet you Faithe." I shook her hand.

"You, too, Zayn." She said.

We sat downand enjoyed the lunch. Faithe and Aria talked most of the time, and aria told her about our life with all of the traveling and such, and faithe began to look uncomfortable. I could no understand why.

Faithe and Aria talked for three hours, and I barely got a word in, but it was good to see Aria so happy. She had not been seeing too much of her family because of my touring, and I resented it. Faithe looked to Aria. "can I talk with you in private?"

Aria's POV

Faithe led me to my bedroom and hut the door behind her.

"What's going on, Faithe?" I asked. She looked worried.

"I'm worried about you."

"What? I've never been happier."

"I know. That's why I'm worried. I want to make sure you're not giving up anything for him. You'veonly seen your family once in a month, but you ued to travel every weekend? You don't have a life. Your life revolves around him. Are you happy with your work?"

"I need to do that. I love Zayn, an that is what his job is. i don't want to inconvenience him."

"But it's inconveniencing you, Aria."

"No it's not. I'm happy because if I didn't do that,then I would never see him."

"Well, there's a ton of guys out ther that won't make you travel, like Colin."

"Colin? I hated Colin. He was rude and jealous and he cheated on me! Zayn was there to help me when we broke up!"

"Well..."

"And I've known zayn for years. I trust him and I love him and our families are great friends. He's such a great match for me. Why can't you just be happy for me?"

"Because I don't want you to ruin your life."

"RUIN MY LIFE? YOU THINK I'M RUINING MY LIFE? tHAT'S REDICULOUS. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU. YOU'RE RUINING EVERYTHING. JUST BE HAPPY FOR ME. GET OUT, NOW. I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!" I shouted at Faithe. She glared at me before walkin out of he flat.

"What was that all about?" Zayn asked when I got back to the kitchen.

"She was saying you and I shouldn't be together, but I love you."

"Why shouldn't we be together?"

"She thins I'm giving up too mch to be with you."

"Do you think you are?"

"No if anyhting, I'm living more than I could've. I'm traveling all over the continent and getting so many new experiences. I have the dream job, the dream boyfriend..."

"but?"

"The fans. That's the only thing I coul live without, but I know I can't. It's part of the life I chose. I chose, not anyone else. I choose to be in love with a famous person. I wouldn't give that up for the world."

"alright. it'll all blow over soon. I guess this isn't a good time to tell you I'm leaving tonight."

"What? But my brithday's tomorrow!"

"I know. We have a performance in Florence. I'm so sorry, but Danielle and Eleanor are going to take you out, alright?"

"Fine." Zayn kissed me before laving th room. He didn't glance back like he should have.

Zayn's POV

I didn't glance back because I thought I would ruin it. I went to Louis' place.

Aria's POV

The next day, Danielle and Eleanor picked me up at eight sharp. I had a Chanel dress and Christian Louboutin black pumps. They said we were gong to dinner and a movie, but blindfolded me, saying the restaurant was a surprise.

They led me out of the car, and I head music booming. We were pushing through people. Finally, they took the blindfold off.

"SURPRISE!" Everyone in the room yelled. My family was there, as was Zayn's family, my co-wokers, friends, extended family. This was amazng!

Then, I felt arms wrapped around me. I turned around and saw Zayn.

"what? What are you doing here?"

"I had to pretend to leave so I could make these arrangements. I couldn't do it with you around!" I kissed him.

It was an amazng birthday, with dancing and being with my favorite people in the world, and a huge birthday cake. I remember ging home and crashing onto the bed, but not muc else. That was the sign of an amazing birthday, the fact that i could not remember any of it.
