A Version Of Us

★Extra Chapter 2.1☯︎

Harry rolled his eyes and opened the door wider and walked in

"Did you wake her up?"

Zayn turned to Harry with a glare that made Harry shiver but he somehow managed to conceal it "Do I look like a monster?"

Harry smiled and shook his head "Nope, just like the prettiest star"

~~~~~

Zayn looked at Estrella who was quickly walking away from Harry while giggling

She then rushed to him and hugged his leg, Zayn knelt down and rubbed her back as she took deep breaths

She held onto him and squealed when Harry rushed over to her

But the door opened and it made Harry immediately stop

It's like everyone in the room froze as the woman by the door looked at Zayn

He stood up and just looked at her

All the bags she was holding fell as she walked deeper into the house.

"If I had known you'd be coming I would've dressed better...."

Zayn blinked "It was a last minute made plan"

She kept on looking at Zayn and walked closer towards him

"Keep a distance love.... Don't smother him"

"I spent years dreaming of seeing him alive, I'll be damned if anyone forces me anymore than 6 feet away" She said not looking away

Then her eyes landed on the little girl hugging Zayn's leg, then she met Zayn's eyes

"How old is she?"

"11 months" Zayn answered "How can you tell Tony and I apart?"

"A mother always knows" She said then stopped a few feet away from Zayn "How did Brian treat you?"

Zayn shrugged, not really knowing what to say anymore

"Why do you want to see me?"

She shrugged "Can't a mother want to see her son"

Zayn slowly shook his head and rubbed Estrella's cheek with his knuckle

"You're not my mother.... You're Niall's mother, you're Tony's mother, but not mine"

The room fell quiet and she smiled

"I hope to see you more often, Zayn. I have a lot I'd like to say to you"

Zayn blinked "Why?"

"You remind me a lot of my twin sister.... She had hyperthymesia too" she started to walk away but stopped "Oh, and.... Don't hurt Niall, so far he's the only son I have left" she said before she waved towards Estrella and walked away

If Zayn was shocked he didn't show it, Yaser turned to Zayn and smiled

"Would you like me to take you home?"

~~~~~

On the car ride home, Louis was the first to speak up

"What is hyperthymesia?"

Zayn sighed and rested his head against the window and shook his head while snapping the hair tie around his wrist

"He remembers everything" Yaser said

Louis quickly turned to Zayn "You have photographic memory"

"A form of it" Yaser said while Zayn stayed quiet
