17- Nightmare

(Disclaimer!!! I do not own any rights to the song lyrics I used in this chapter, it all kind of ties into the story !! Thank you!!)

Lincoln was hosting a dinner at a Malibu vineyard, I felt under dressed but Nova assured me I looked punk-rockish, a trend going around.

Harry hadn't arrived yet, Niall said it was because he had a last minute business deal to close out so I sat at the table alone, across from Niall and Nova. Lincoln was off at the other end talking to producers about his music video, it ended up looking so cool. It gave me Hasely vibe, watching him I couldn't help but think of how proud I am of him, he really made it.

I also couldn't help but think of all the people we lost, they would've all loved to see him here on top. Signing I turn my head over and find Liam Payne staring right at me.... oh God he walking over here.

"Hey Zara, nice seeing you again" he greets as I smile at him, "Where's Harry?"

"He had a work thing, I'm sure he'll be here shortly" I say taking a sip of my water.

"You must be happy for your brother" he says waving for a waiter and ordering a drink.

"Yeah, its all so weird still, he's been wanting this all his life and then-" I say unable to finish, "Point is I'm just so proud of him."

"How about you?" he asks, "What do you do?"

"I'm currently in college, I'm studying to be a Child Life Specialist."

"What do they do?" he asks intrigued, the first time I told Harry what I was studying he was so memorized by the profession I  chose, talking about how I'm an angel this world doesn't deserve, he's crazy.

Speaking of crazy, I think as I see a familiar curly head in the crowd, he spots me and smiles, his eyes landing on Liam next to me, his grin quickly disappearing.

"Ah, um, they help sick children in the hospital understand what they're going through" I explain noticing Harry walking over.

"What made you so intres-"

"Liam, mate" Harry greets coming up behind him, "I see you've found Zara for me."

"Of course mate" he said smiling at me then turning his attention towards Harry, "She's all yours."

Offering his chair to my boyfriend Liam stands up and walks away, Harry staring at him as he goes.

"That's right, my girl" he murmurs as I shake my head giggling, "Hi darling" he says turning his attention to me.

"Harry you're absolutely mad" I laugh noticing how quickly his mood changed back to normal.

"Mad about you" he cheekily says giving me a quick kiss.

Once dinner arrived a new song began to echo through the room, it was Lincoln's voice. Here it is I'm finally going to be able to listen to his music, biting down on my lip I try not to jump out of my chair in excitement. Harry noticed and laughed, taking my hand.

You sit there in your heartache

Waiting on some beautiful boy to

To save your from your old ways

Swallowing hard I noticed he actually used the song, I told him not to ... and he still went right ahead and used it...

I slip my hand from Harry's and turn my head towards Lincoln, he catches my eyes and quickly looks away, "Excuse me" I say Nova knowing exactly what was going on, Harry goes to reach for me but she stops him.

And sometimes you close your eyes

And see the place where you used to live

When you were young

My heart burned, I specifically asked him to never release this song, it was too personal and he did it anyways.

"Can I talk to you real quick Lincoln?" I ask walking up to him, Donald and the rest of his buddies looking away.

"Not now Z, I'm busy."

Feeling angry and betrayed I stand my ground, "You told me you wouldn't release it."

"Zara I said not right now."

"You promised me-"

Taking my arm in his hand he lead me outside, Harry, Niall and Nova all close behind.

"I'm sorry Z, I'm sorry, they just liked the song too much. I had to put it in" he tries justifying himself.

"You could've asked-"

"Would you have let me!?"

"No, but-"

"Exactly why I didn't ask Zara" he spat out, "You wouldn't have let me."

"Its so personal Lincoln, you know that!" The song he released is called "When You Were Young", Lincoln wrote it a couple years ago, it was about me and how our broken family affected me.

"You could've warned me Lincoln" I say in disbelieve, "I would've expected betrayal from anyone but you, after all we've been through Lincoln, mom, dad, Cameron, even the freaking boys turned their backs on you and you go and do this to me?"

"The world doesn't revolve around you Zara, get over yourself, I needed this, my career needed this song."

"Have fun with the only thing you have left then... your stupid career" I say walking away, this was the last thing I ever expected to happen, well the second to last thing, my nightmare suddenly became a reality and it was about to get worse.
