Mia's POV

I wake up at Ayla's place and sit up sighing. I barely slept thinking about Zain and the fight we had. I am so tired- I did not understand a single thing.

"Hey. You want tea?" Ayla asks as I walk into her kitchen.

"Yes please." I say sitting down handing me a mug.

"Well great party."

"I have the biggest headache and that fight keeps replaying in my head. The hangover is crazy." I say pushing my hair behind my ears. I think I took like 10 more shots after Zain left.

"Soooo... you and Zain dont really know each other huh?" She asks. "I thought Zain being a hot head and you being a straight 10 was common."

"I mean why are these things that we knew about each other bothering us."

"Maybe you need to re- get to know each other but as boyfriend/girlfriend." She suggest. "Zain is kind of an asshole? Thought we knew this about my lovely cousin. He fights instead of talking. Hey? Just like you."

"I dont fight?"

"You tried to fight Zain yesterday? Last week you tried to fight the girl who stepped on your heels."

"Okay. Okay?"

"Anger issues of you two." Ayla says laughing.

"Okay okay. I get it. Maybe we need to figure it out."

"You'll be finee!" She says and I sigh. "This is a disaster. Its like I am watching this train go and run me over but I cant move."

"Thats such a positive way to describe your new relationship. Mia, you have not dated for a year. Give yourself a break. Go crazy. Go have fun. Its Zain. Nobody loves you more than Zain and he has watched you throw up, cry and then throw up all over him."

"I thought we were never mentioning that again?" I say and she laughs. I do amaze myself. How embarrassing.

I shower at Ayla's and get ready in her clothes. Practically could live here. I blow dry my waves and let them fall off my shoulders. I wear Ayla's grey sweats and a white tanktop.

"You got fired?" I ask Ayla looking at the letter on the table. "Yeah- but hey I hated that job anyway."

"My mom is not financing me- I need a job." She sighs. "Or I am gonna have to call my dad in Detroit."

"How is your dad?" I ask and she shrugs. "Not sure. Uncle Nick keeps punching him at every family gathering he attends so- I guess not good."

"Nick really hates him huh?"

"Hates most dead beat daddies- espcially the ones that ditch his sister with two kids."

"Oh man." I say. "We should take Tameka out." I say and she chuckles. "Cant stand her. 14 year old girls so annoying. Ayla your skirts too short. Ayla why do you have a tongue piercing. Ayla I found condoms. Ayla mom said you dont behave." She mimicks her sister and I laugh.

"I'm going to Zain. You wanna come?"

"Nope. I'm going back to bed." She says and I chuckle hugging her. "Ill see you later."

I uber it to the Adams to see Zain. I dont know why I was so nervous? Its Zain? I felt like my stomach hurt. My fingers were sweaty.

"Yoooo." Kai says opening. "Your boyfriend is still sleeping."

I roll my eyes sittjng down with Kai in the kitchen to eat his food.

"What happened after you guys left?" I ask and he shrugs. "We came home and went to bed." He says breaking eye contact. He starts eating kinda fast making me wonder what the hell was wrong with him.
