Lost and Found

Chapter 1

-Zayn’s POV-

I’m lost. I was in a city and now I’m in this forest. How did I get this lost so fast? I can’t get lost today because I have a stupid sound check. Its 6:30 in the morning and I don’t feel good. I’m so tired and in a bad mood. It was hard to get around by car in America and we were in a new city every few days. Pittsburgh PA was no exception.

It was to late to turn around now hoping I would see a house but I never did. My shiny black Ferrari was now dirty and starting to run out of gas. I would have called Paul or one of the boys and tell them I will be ok or I was going to be late but I had no signal.

I came around a turn and saw a huge house. More like a villa if you ask me. I saw a pool in the backyard and acres of grass. In the distance I could see a guest house and even a fence for a dog. It was huge! I saw a black Mustang GT sitting in the paved driveway.

I looked at myself in the mirror to make sure my gel was still holding my hair in place. I got out of the car and tied my Nike Toki Dunk Sneakers and fixed my navy blue sweater. It was now 7:15. I walked up to the huge house and rang the doorbell praying that somebody would answer.

-Nicole’s POV-

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! I looked over at my clock and pressed snooze. It read 6:15. I rolled over to see “Bear” my German Shepherd Dog sleeping on my white sheets that I just washed. I usually let him sleep with me but I just washed them. “Get off!” I yelled. He lazily got up and jumped off the bed only to plop himself on the floor next to me again.

I got up and shut the alarm off before it beeped again. I went into the bathroom and took a quick shower only to come back to my room to see Bear stretched out on my bed again. This time I didn’t say anything because it honestly wasn’t worth it. I got dressed in my work clothes-skinny jeans, a blue and white striped layered top, and my high tops. I went back into the bathroom to do my hair and makeup. I parted my hair to the side and did my makeup as simple as possible.

I went down stairs to let Bear out and feed him. While I was waiting on him to finish up I ate a fast bowl of cereal. He came over to me and sat him head down on my legs. “I’m sorry I have to go to work buddy but I have to.” He was alone a lot because nobody else lived with me. Both of my parents passed away when a car crashed into my parents while driving home from New York only to bring me back a puppy. He was ok but my parents weren’t. So they left me with a dog, a huge house, and money.

It was now 7:15 AM and the doorbell rang. Nobody lived anywhere close to me so I was surprised. Bear ran to the door and barked trying to scare whoever off. He was very protective of me. “Enough” I yelled “You don’t need to act that way.” He stopped but started to whine a little.

I opened the door and saw Zayn Malik on my porch. I was a huge One Direction fan and they got me through a lot of nights that I felt alone. I tried to act calm so all I said was “Hello.”

“Hey, I’m Zayn Malik” he replied. His face changed so fast as if a rush of energy came to him. “I need you to tell me how to get to Pittsburgh from here. I’m lost.” It really looked like he hated to say it.

“I’m Nicole Anderson.”I told him how to get to Pittsburgh. I wanted him to stay forever but I knew that it would never happen. “Did anybody ever tell you how pretty your eyes were?” He said staring into my brown eyes like he was the whole time. “Thank you.” I said laughing. He smiled at me then asked me if he could use my phone to call someone. I said yes not even thinking about it.

We walked inside and Bear started barking again. I grabbed Zayn’s arm and slid my hands down to his hands. “Bear stop! That’s not nice!” Still holding on to his hand just so I could easily push him behind me if Bear tried to bite him. I looked at Zayn’s face and saw fear come over him. “I promise he won’t attack.”

“This is a big house and it’s beautiful. Do you live alone?” Zayn asked like he was trying to get to know me. “Yes.” I said while a quickly told the story of getting Bear two years ago while my parents had passed in a car crash. “I’m so sorry.” He said. “It’s ok. You are not the first and won’t be the last.” I honestly had to explain myself so many times I was used to telling it. I handed him the phone and walked out of the kitchen to give him privacy.

Now thinking about it I did have a big house not even including the four other large guest houses. You can’t see the other three unless you drive down to the first guest house and take a left turn. At the end of the road was another large pool in the ground like mine. Yes my parents were loaded but what did I need all of these houses and land for. I was alone it was a lot of work to do.

“Bear please stop being mean and go lay down. You are going to ruin this for me. He is 19 just like me and he did nothing to me or you so cool it.” I whispered. I rubbed the back of his ears and then Zayn walked in to the living room.

I stood up and walked over to him as he handed me a napkin with his number on it. “Here is my number but what is yours?” I told him as he put it into his phone. Bear was listening to us the whole time not taking his eyes off Zayn.

“I have to get to back to the boys now” Zayn said “but I really hope I get to see you again.” I smiled at him and walked him to the door. For the first time in a long time a felt safe with somebody. “Why do you have to leave me now my love?” I thought. We both left at the same time and said just follow me out. So I got in my Mustang and he got in his Ferrari and we drove off. 

While I was driving I was thinking, why do I have a part time job? I have all the money I need and my internship as a Makeup and Hair artist was almost finished so I could go get a real job. Zayn Malik was on my front porch. Maybe he could help me get a job but I wasn’t going to ask.

-Zayn’s POV-

On the way to driving to Pittsburgh to meet the boys I was thinking about how beautiful this brown hair and brown eyes girl. She was amazing. Was this fate or meant to be? I would have to call her later. Maybe she would go on a date with me or a walk in the park.

When I finally got to the arena that I should have been at two hours before, Paul met me at the front door. “I was worried about you and so where the boys!” he moaned. I didn’t care at this point. I just wanted to go back to her huge beautiful house and just tell her everything and how I felt about her but I couldn’t. I had a job to do and people to impress.

Louis and Harry walked over and started joking about Nicole. I called Niall hoping he would keep his mouth shut and I told him about the girl. Louis and Harry always get secrets out of Niall so I should just have called Liam but I didn’t. The whole day I couldn’t get her out of my mind and I was hoping she was doing the same.

At one point in the day Liam yelled at Louis and Harry after catching on that I have my eyes on a girl. Me, Niall, and Liam were in our bus while Louis and Harry were at Starbucks to get us coffee. It was silent until Niall started to ask about Nicole. I really didn’t want to talk about it so I just went to go take a nap. Today is the last day of our tour and I must see her again before I have to go home to Bradford.
