One Month Later

~Zayn's P.O.V~

"Zayn, get down here! You're going to be late!" I hear my mum yell from all the way down stairs. Man she has a set of lungs.

"I'm coming!" I yell back, grabbing my neatly ironed clothes out of my closet. I pull off my shirt, admiring my body for just a second before pulling on a plain white shirt. I grab my tie of the door handle and sling my suit jacket over my shoulder. I run a hand over my freshly shaven head. It was time for a change, but I know my mum is gonna flip.

It's gonna be great.

I hear a knock on my bedroom door and before they could get a second knock in I swing the door open, and there stands Louis, looking almost identical to me but with a different color tie, and slightly lighter suit.

"Hey we're waiti- you cut your hair?" He says confused.

"Like it?" I smile pushing past him and heading towards the stairs. He chuckles nervously.

"You know your mum is gonna flip?" He says as he follows closely behind me going down the staircase.

"Of course," I smile looking back at him, and we share a laugh as we reach the bottom of the steps. I see my mum dressed beautifully piecing together something at the kitchen countertop. She hears us then turns around, a smile glowing over her face. She studies me and she smile turns slowly into a horrified look, and a smile couldn't help but over take my face.

"ZAYN! Where's your bloody hair?!"

"Back at the hair shop mum," Louis snickers under his breath. I walk up to my mum and kiss her cheek lightly. She steps back and examines my head, an upset look clear on her face.

"Mum it was time for a change, and it doesn't look half," I smile and she slowly smiles back. She mouths 'okay' then kisses my forehead.

"Mate, we gotta go," Louis says behind me, and I mentally curse.

"Mum I'm leaving now, I'll see you there right?" I say walking out the door.

"Yes son I'll be the-" I close the door before she can finish her sentence. I feel bad, but get over it as soon as we get into the car. I get into the passenger side and sling my jacket over the seat.

"Ow! Hey fuck you Malik!" I look behind me and see my dirty past, Riley with her brand new boyfriend Cody, and unfortunately with his sister Delilah, with that one bloke I've seen somewhere before. I look to Louis with the most disapproving face I could muster up and he just shrugs, with that stupid grin on his face. I turn back to the four people cluttered in the back seat and smile.

"Well, well, well...if it isn't my drunken hookups number one and number two! Oh! And who could forget about the lovely blokes sitting next to them who enjoy munching on my sloppy seconds?" I say  in the cheeriest voice I could.

"Fuck you," Riley snarled.

"Sorry, I'm not sure if I want your, how do you say it? Venereal Diseases?" I ask, and she lunges at me from the back seat. I chuckled as she misses me by just a hair. Louis hits my shoulder.

"Can you at least try to be nice? Maybe give them a compliment even?" Louis groans while backing out of driveway. I smirk and turn around to face them.

"Uh okay, compliments. Riley, I uh..throw up less when I look at you, Delilah, your face looks like-"

"Okay Zayn, just forget it," Louis shakes his head while I laugh uncontrollably in the front seat. As we continue to drive everyone in the backseat is in conversation amongst themselves, giving me time to talk Louis.

"Why are we even bringing them anyway?" I say to him as he pulls up to a stop light.

"Believe it or not, Cody and I, our families are very close. So when I told his family where I was going his mum asked if I could bring him with me so they could have more time to get ready and such," he sighed out as we took a familiar right turn. My body froze up, I forgot we were coming here.

"We're going to-"

"Yup," Louis nods at me. "You have the tickets mate?" I stick my hand in my pants pocket, and pull out the three tickets I held aside just for this moment. I stare at the tickets not sure how to feel, not sure if I'm ready to face this again, the utter heartbreak and humiliation. The car stops. I look up and here I am, I look over to Louis and he looks at me then presses the button to unlock the door. He nods at me and I nod back opening the door.

"What are we doing here?" I hear Riley ask from the car, as I close the door. I walk slowly up the driveway trying to push everything, every little thing that wasn't immediately important out of my mind. I stood at the front door, frozen in place like multiple times before. I hear the horn honk then I look back before knocking the door.

I wait patiently, maybe for a whole thirty seconds, before I thought they weren't here, and maybe it'd be better if I left. As I turn I hear the lock mechanism turning behind the door and it opens fully.

"Well, well," he says to me his arms folded, and all the weight shifted to one of his legs as always.

"Hi, Mr.Summers," I say with one of my hands in my pocket and the other stretched out to shake his hand. He accepts my handshake, but his hands go right back to being folded across his chest.

"Well?" He asks impatiently. Right. I forgot what I was doing. I fumble with the tickets in my pocket and as I pull them out I hand them to him. He takes them from me and observes them before looking back to me.

"My graduation is in a few hours, and I didn't want to go without out at least knowing that you and Reign have the option to be there. Is Reign here?" I ask as my hand finds it way to my neck. He nods, and I sigh, knowing that even though she's here she wouldn't want to talk to me.

"I know that, I haven't been around for a while, but believe me, I still care deeply about you and your daughter. I really do consider you like family Mr.Summers. I just hope my actions don't, even though they probably already have, change the way you feel about me. If you could make it to my graduation it'd be..amazing and it would bring me a lot of joy, thank you," I sigh finishing my speech I've been trying to perfect for weeks now. I reach out and meet his hand again giving it a firm shake before turning back towards the car.

"Tell Reign I said it'd mean a lot if she came?" I say turning back to him, and laughs but nods reassuring me and I smile.   I quickly tread back to the car, and hop in.

"Well?" Louis asked and I shrugged. Louis puts his hand on my shoulder. "They'll come mate," Louis reassurance helps but as we pull out of the driveway I can't help the nagging feeling to go back, just to see her face.
