Dinah's in her room, on her bed, listening to make sure her siblings, in which she shares her room, don't come in, while she sulks.

It's been about 2 and a half weeks since I last saw Zayn. During those 3 weeks we performed at the VMA's and won our first moonman. I wasn't feelin it tho, but I put on a show... For the Harmonizers. They deserved to see me at, what looked like, my very best. They voted night and day, just for us! They're amazing so they deserved a happy me. I had a blast! But to be honest at some points I don't even know what I was doing! But the people definitely loved it, especially the Harmonizers. And that's all that matters. Well now that's all that matters. My family is still hella important, but recently everyone's been hating on me. My grandpa gets on me for what I wear. My cousins say I'm the bad one for not going to church every Sunday. My aunts and uncles use me as what not to do as a member of the church. If they only knew what I did for them. Perrie sent me another text saying that if I tell anyone about what she did, Naki wouldn't be the only possibly hurt Hansen. The only one who's been there for me is my mom. that's why she's the only one I thanked at the VMA's. Zayns called me everyday, but I refuse to talk to him, but everytime he does call I cry. Luckily  he's stopped for the past week. When his caller id used to pop up I remember our relationship. Our feelings. I remember us. This happened so often my floor was, and still is, covered in tissues filled with dried tears and snot. So much so that the siblings I share the room with won't come in. Sometimes they try, just to annoy me, but they never go through with it. Maybe I should start cleaning my room, Dinah thought

Dinah gets off her bed and starts at one end of the room walking across and throwing all the tissues away. After she got all the tissues off the floor she decided to thorooughly clean the room. She picked up the dirty clothes, put the toys away, dusted the windows, and vacuumed the floor. As Dinah moved somthings around so that she could vacuum under them she noticed a folded up piece of paper. It was behind the trashcan. Dinah picked it up not knowing what it was. There seemed to have been writing on the top but someone scribbled it out with crayon. Dinah gave a slight chuckle thinking one of the kids got a note at school. She unfolded the piece of paper, and just as she did Seth came running in and snatched the paper out if Dinahs hand with his tiny, chubby, four year old hands. Dinah laughed.

"Come on Seth baby boo. What's in the note? Did a girl at preschool give it to you?" Dinah screamed as she ran after him.

"NO!!! You're not allowed to see this!" He yelled.

Dinah caught up with him and snatched the paper from behind.

"Yoink!" She said as she ran back to the room and locked the door.

Seth was outside pounding on the door.

"Diiinnnaaahhh!" He whined in his baby voice and puppy dog eyes.

"It's a good thing I can't see you from behind this door, cuz I know you're doing your puppy dog face and I can never resist that," she said with a smirk.

"ughhhh"

Dinah laughed and started to read the letter.

Dear Dinah,

Let me start out with my apology. You have no idea how sorry I am. I love you so much and I don't know what I was thinking. I wasn't thinking. You're the love of my life and I don't want you to leave. Please! I'll do anything. Just please answer my calls, my texts, anything. Just please. If a month passes and you don't answer me then I'll know you don't want anything to do with me, and I'll leave you alone. If you do answer me then I know there's still a chance for you and me.

Love, forever and always,

Zayn Malik

Dinah teared up and unlocked the door. She opened the door and Seth came rushing in. He wrapped his arms around her legs and hugged them tight. Dinah chuckled a little as she cried.

"Where'd you get this from?" Dinah asked as she picked him up and hugged him even tighter.

Seth wrapped his arms around her neck and hugged her tight.

"Ally came an-an-and she told me to give you the letter. O-o-on the top I read it slowly and it said To: Dinah From:Zayn. When I saw Zayns name I-I-I scribbled it out and threw it away. I didn't want you to be sad sissy. I love you. Plus Kamila told me what h-h-he said. He made my sissy cry and disrespected my culture," Seth said with his stutter as he put a fist over his heart, "I'm Tongan, and we care for our own!"

*Dinah's cousin, Jared Amasio, has a vine and one of his vines is him and his cousins saying "I'm Tongan" and it's captioned proud Tongans. It's the most adorable thing!*

"Awww Seth! I love you too baby bro! But next time don't take my things ok, even if it makes me sad. I'm a big girl. I can handle it. Besides I don't want you involved in any of this," Dinah said as she hugged him tighter

"Ok," he replied.

Dinah stood there holding Seth for a while before they both stopped hugging. She sat down on her bed and Seth quickly followed. As he sat down, she asked him something, "Seth. When did you learn to read," clearly unaware of the fact that her brother could read.

Seth smiled the biggest smile he could muster.

"I learneded at school! And mommy has been helping me and dad and Jared, and Mila!" Seth said with such enthusiasm.

"Why haven't you ever asked me for help?" Dinah said with a fake pout.

"Well you're always so busy..." Seth said lingering on his last word.

"Well now I'm not! Come on lets read a book," Dinah said as she reached for a book.

Seth smiled and snuggled up to Dinah as she held the book in front of them.

"Ok I'll read first then you ok?" Seth nodded as Dinah began to read. It was a good book and Dinah had lots of fun helping Seth with his reading, but deep in her thoughts she was thinking about something else. She was thinking Zayn and the letter. Had Zayn stopped calling cuz he moved on. She hoped he didn't but then she hoped he did. The next day she'd find out.
