Writing Music ( A Zayn Malik love story)

True Colors

   Before I can say anything I am interrupted by music playing suddenly. I recognize it as being an American boy band but I can’t think of their name, I just know that they are brothers. Paige takes out her phone and I realize that the song is her ring tone.

        “IT’S ZACKY” She shouts giddily jumping off the bed to answer it.

        I have the feeling that there is more between Zach and Paige than them just being friends. She turns to face me before answering the phone though.

        “I have an idea. Why don’t you answer it?” She holds out the phone to me.

        I haven’t talked with Zachary in ages in person. All of our conversations were monitored on the phone because of the terms of the divorce. The only other contact we had was email but even those were checked. We have only been able to IM since we both turned 18.

        I take the phone and answer it.

        “Hello” I say.

        “Hey Paige. You seem to be improving on your accent but you know that you can’t fool me babe. I mean you definitely sound more convincing than my sister.” He says.

        “Is that anyway to be talking to your sister?” I say laughing a little.

        I don’t hear anything for a moment.

        “Is it really you Carla?” He asks me. I have the feeling that he is shocked that it is me.

        “Who else would it be? Suzy Peterson the girl you had a crush on all through elementary school.” I say.

        Paige looks a little mad, I am guessing that Zachary has not told her about Suzy.

        “That was years ago Zebra.” He says to annoy me. “I should have guessed that you guys probably would have ran into each other eventually.”

        I walk over to the balcony window and move the curtain to look outside a little. Both Paige and Bree are on Paige’s MacBook.

        “You should have known that. Speaking of knowing, what have you told Paige about me?” I ask.

        I am curious if Zach told Paige anything about my writing. I have the feeling that she does not know about Zayn otherwise she would have said something when his name was brought up. Unless she does know something but isn’t saying anything.

        “Don’t worry I didn’t tell her anything about your book or even you being friends with Zayn. I am guessing that you probably don’t want to tell her either especially with how a big a fan she is of One Direction.” He says with a chuckle.

        “Thank you and you're right. I would still like to keep that a secret for now. I should probably let you talk with Paige.”

        “If you don’t mind. I’ll talk with you later Zebra” He says.

        “Bye Bro” I say.

        I turn to face Bree and Paige.

        “Your turn” I say holding the phone out to Paige.

        She jumps off the of the bed and grabs the phone from me.

        “Hi Zacky,” Paige says. She opens the balcony door and steps outside onto the balcony shutting the door behind her. I didn’t realize that she changed her clothes but she is now wearing a pink blouse and dark blue jeans.
