Taking Her Back

11 | ice skating

So Zayn never did answer my question on my flashbacks. I pestered him everyday to tell me why I could only remember snippets of my past and why every time I had a flashback it felt like my heart was being torn in two.

The days since the incident rolled into weeks which quickly turned into a month. Nothing much has really happened other that a few occasional fights but they were to be expected. It was now November and the leaves had finally fell off the trees leaving only the bare branches left to look at.

One thing however that had changed was that me and Reina's conversations had become less and less frequent. Between the time difference, school and just life in general we had slowly stopped talking. Even when we did it felt like it wasn't the same. She stopped opening my texts and returning my calls. A part of me feels like it's been ripped away. She was the only person I could rely on when I lived back home. It took a while but eventually I began to accept the fact that maybe we just won't ever be as close again. Besides I had Aisha and Connor.

We had become almost like a dynamic trio, I also began to talk to these twins Esme and Eden who were in my history class. They seemed pretty nice and we got on well

"Leánnan we're going to be late, come on hurry up," Ace called to me whistfully pulling me out of my thoughts. Today was the day that we where all going on our first family outing. The boys were all thrilled (not the sarcasm). It was my idea and as the wonderful sister I am I persuaded them to have a nice family outing.

We were going drum roll please ICE SKATING. Now I have only been once and let me say I am pretty shit. But I think it will be fun the boys aren't so keen but Ace wouldn't let them say no.

"I'm coming, I'm coming," I said back with a excited tone to me voice. I grabbed my earphones and shoes and ran out of my room. Reaching the bottom of the stairs I jumped the last three and successfully landed.

"Do you want to break an ankle," I turned to my left and saw Shea standing in black tracksuit bottoms and a burgundy hoodie. Very casual for someone who was always in a suit. "No I'd prefer not to if that's possible and anyways I'm fine," I said back with a duh tone. "Drop the sarcasm," Rolling my eyes had now become a primary reaction for me and this time was no different.

I quickly slid on my shoes before I got into any more arguments and ran out hopping in the front of Zayn's car. I am also now not allowed to go in anyone's car but Zayn's cause I went with Ace once and we both ended up driving around for a couple of hours just talking and I swear Zayn was so angry that we never came home.

"Oy missy out now," Shea tapped the door of the car. I looked at him for a second giving him a stern yet playful glance and then continued to look at my phone. Obviously fed up with my antics Shea took it upon himself to undo my seatbelt and lift me into the back of the car himself. "For Gods sake it wouldn't of hurt you to just sit in the back for once," I spat anger slowly creeping over me.  Shea however not rising up to my reaction just glanced at me through the mirror.

Soon after Zayn hopped in the car and we began to drive off to the ice skating rink. Now there was one thing that I didn't tell my brothers. Them being all concerned for my health and safety and all that type of stuff said we could only ice skate if I actually knew how to. Of course I said that I was a pro which in this case is not true at all.

As soon as we pulled into the car park I was out of the car. I headed in a bee line straight to the reception so we could pay and get our skates.

Reaching the front desk I waited patiently for my brothers. My brothers being their usual selves made a grand entrance and came bursting through the doors. All I could hear was "omg they're so sexy," and "what I would do to ride one of them," I was about to be sick.
