The Demons Inside. [ZM AU]

Ch: 44 || Forever.

[Zayn] 

I was currently on a long coach journey after travelling by train and then boat for more then four hours seeing as I was traveling with elderly people who needed to take pits stops to empty their wrinkly bowels every half hour. It was the quickest and cheapest transport though, I can't really complain. I have never been to Ireland before so this is an adventure, as well as a mission to get Sophia back. I did my research on Niall, I don't know why I even did when thinking of him pissing me off; even if he is dead. His memory will always haunt everyone. I just hits me now that I didn't get to say goodbye to Trevor. Oh. Wow, I'm such a good friend. Back to the subject of Niall, I found our about the orphanage he ran away from at fourteen, and found his old families home as well. They disowned him when he just turned a year old. They claimed that he was too much to look after and that he was a mistake from a night of regret and guilt. It was quite sad to read that though, despite the fact he was my enemy. Not even his own parents wanted him. That's quite sad to be honest. 

"Hello dear, would you mind if I could sit here please? My husband is snoring in my ear and I would just like to read peacefully. I won't bother you at all." a sweet looking old lady with a chubby face and a walking stick to help her not stumble around. She smiled at me nicely and I cracked a small smile back, before moving the small backpack I owned and took with me to prison onto the floor so she could perch herself down next to me on the aisle seat. 

"My name is Ame Greenland, what's your name?" 

"Zayn." I don't say my name just incase she watches the news and realises that I'm the same Zayn who everyone seems to hate for some unknown reason. The poor old lady would have a heart attack. 

"Lovely to meet you, Zach. Your accent isn't Irish. May I ask why you're here in Ireland?" no you may not you nosey woman, go back to your damn book; you told me you wouldn't annoy me and here you bloody are. Zach? where did you even get Zach from?

"Here to see my girlfriend." I answer as bluntly as possible but not enough for me to seem rude or anything. I'm not that rude. I do respect my elders, always have.

"Oh wonderful! Young love. Why is she in Ireland and what part?" oh for crying out loud, shut the hell up. You're slightly pushing all the wrong buttons at the moment. 

"Yeah. Um, I dunno and Mullingar."  

I actually did not know why Sophia is even in Ireland. I'm just following Louis' orders. I know it's not a prank because Louis wouldn't joke about his best friend to me. 

"Oh wonderful, lovely. I have family in Mullingar. My daughter and her husband lives with me there. I was on holiday in London, for the first time since retiring. My husband and I are quite tight with our money you see, but then again you can't take your money with you when you die, can you? I would spoil my grandchildren, my daughter's kids but I don't know where they are. I asked my daughter, and she just breaks down in tears as if the memory of her kids pains her." I was half listening to her speech, and half gazing out the window at the fields that were actually so beautiful to look at. It's a shame I don't have Sophia with me to share this view. Instead some annoying woman who I want to tell to shove off back to her husband. "How old are you?" 

Don't be a cougar. Not a cougar please? Oh god I hope she's not.
