Chapter 35: Stress Reliever(Zayn)

So after howling at a wall who did nothing at all to me I headed off to my bed and slumped off to sleep. Mia woke me up at around 6.

Zayn, We're going to go the fair,"Mia says. Are you coming?"

Nope I don't want to,"I say sulkily.

Aw come on now,"Mia says. Don't be a spoilsport,"

Fine I'm coming,"I snap and Mia retreats. She could sense that I wasn't in the mood to argue which wasn't fair to her. I mean she had the right to lash out at me like that. I started it anyway. I have a quick shower and then get dressed. I threw on a Gun's N Roses t-shirt along with a pair of jeans and my converse shoes.

Have you see my journal?"Mia asks, frowning.

Er, no I haven't,"I say, blushing. I had taken her journal and I left it under my pillow and yes I have read bits. Especially her entries from when we were seventeen and Mia actually had a crush on me. I'm sure she'd kill me if I told her but to think we actually had a crush on each other and didn't want to tell because we terrified of getting rejected and then making things awkward between us.

I felt like a complete idiot when I read that part.

Maybe Zayn likes me. Oh I don't know. First he tries to kiss me and then says can we forget it ever happened? That crushed me because I thought maybe he did like me too. Oh lord help me.

Another entry went like this

I hate Zayn so much. Can't understand his behavior at all. I mean what did I to make him so angry with me? Excuse me love, I'm just going to go cry in a corner now.

And then another like this,

Guess who I met today? Leo! We went out for breakfast and then he took me out for dinner and we shared a romantic kiss. Aaaaaah Leo's so sweet and romantic!

It has to be somewhere here,"Mia says, looking around. You didn't take it did you?"

Of course not,"I lie convincingly. Mia narrows her eyes at me and then heads to the bath. I dove under my bed covers, grabbed her journal and then ran to Mia's room and threw it under her bed. I had to put it somewhere where she wouldn't have looked to make it convincing.

Right Zayn let's go,"she says. I'll come back and look for it,"

I nod and then take a good look at Mia. She's wearing this(.com/carnival_outing/set?id=48511914) and she looks great as usual. We meet the others.

Oh no she didn't,"Louis yells covering his eyes.

Oh no who didn't?"Danni says confusedly.

Oh no Mia didn't wear stripes,"Louis says.

What's wrong if I wear stripes?"Mia asks, looking down at her shirt.

Only I wear stripes, Mia for I am the sex god,"Louis announces.

Sex god?"Ele says. So what does that make the rest of you?"

Zayn's the sex kitten in the group and Niall's the Leprechaun cupcake,"Mia says with a laugh.

And Harry's called Curls,"Ele says with a laugh

And Liam the smarty pants,"Danni finishes.

Well, I'm not taking it off Louis,"Mia says with a wink.

Oh nevermind. You look good in that,"Louis says with a smile.

So do we take Mia's car or the limo?"Harry asks.

We can never fit in my car,"Mia says. We'd have to chuck Ele and Louis in the boot to fit then,"

Limo it is then,"Liam says with a laugh. Harry and Mia went off to tell Paul where we're going and then insisted Paul come with us but then Paul managed to worm his way out.

I'm going with a couple of friends kids. Head to a bar, have a drink or two maybe,"he says with a smile.

Well okay then,"Harry says.

Want Mia's car since we're taking the limo?"I ask, without looking at Mia.

Yeah you can take my car,"Mia offers.

Nope it's okay Mia,"Paul says with a smile. Thanks love but nope I'll take a cab,"

The cabs here are pretty scary,"Mia says. Just last week a man was robbed of his credit cards and money almost USD2000 and then he was thrown at out of the cab when the cab was still moving,"

Are you sure?"Paul says looking at Mia with an easy smile.

Absoutely. Infact just two days ago..,"Mia starts to say but the Paul cuts her off.

Right before you scare me again with another story, love,"he says.

Well then take the keys,"Mia says, pushing her car keys on to Paul's hands.

Paul takes it and smiles. Thanks kids. Don't be out to late,"he says and we smile.

We won't," We chorus together and Paul laughs. So then we went downstairs and got on to the limo. Mia set the GPS for the chauffeur and then set back. She wasn't talking to me much, guess she was still mad at me from today afternoon. Well you can't blame me. And at the same time her.

Zayn mate?"Niall says. We're here?"he says. To my surprise, I see that the rest have already gotten off and we're at the fair.

Daydreaming about Mia?"Niall asks with a sly smile.

Nope. Just thinking,"I say and shrug. We head together towards the rest whom are waiting at the ticket- booth. The good part about New York is that when you're famous people don't bother you much. They come up for autographs but that's it. Which is good.

So that will be 8 tickets please?"Ele says to the guy behind the counter who hands her the tickets and Ele hands him the money. She comes out of the line and then towards us.

Are we ready to go have a good time tonight?"Ele shouts.

Yeah,"We yell together. Ele hands each of us a ticket and then we head inside, chattering and squealing about like excited little kids.

Which should we go first?"Harry asks, rubbing his hands excitedly, looking around.

Roller Coaster!"Niall yells.

No way,"Harry and Mia yell together. Right so everyone probably knew that Harry was afraid of roller-coasters but not Mia. When she was younger, Ava told her that people fall out of roller-coasters and then got eaten by a giant snake. She admitted that the snake part was stupid but she believed that if she ever went on it, she would fall off.

Haunted house then,''Louis yells.

No Ferris Wheel,"Danni protests.

Bumper Cars,"I yell.

Hey yeah,"Liam says. I've forgotten all about those. So how bout we go on those then?"

Hell yeah,"Louis says excited. The fair wasn't very full, it was quite the opposite actually and that meant we didn't have to queue up for rides.

Eight people,"I say to the girl waiting at the Bumper Rides. She nods and then another guy comes and showes us to the cars. We decided to play once with a partner and then head to another ride. I got paired with Harry, Louis and Ele, Liam and Danni and Mia and Niall. When we started, I took the steering but I couldn't exactly manage the car properly. And Mia kept ramming into us.

Oi!"Harry yells. What's your problem?"

I'm just taking my stress out on the driver that's all,"Mia says with a cheeky smile. Next to her Niall clutched on to his seat belt, looking terrified.

Charge at her Zayn,"Harry yells with a laugh. I finally got the hang of the steering and drove towards Mia. She steered the car away to avoid Harry and I and ended up hitting Louis and Ele.

Oh this is war,"Liam yelled smiling. He drove towards Mia and Niall.

Someone help us,"Niall yelled laughing.

Did someone cry help?"Louis says, cupping his ear. Never fear for Superman is here,"

Louis got up and pretended to tear open his shirt. Lucky for my mate, he was wearing a superman t-shirt and Superman inspired bands. He sat back down and drove infront of Mia and Niall protectively when Eleanor smiled and pulled Louis on to the passenger seat and took control of the steering.

Well I'm your kryptonite and now you're all weak so I'll take the steering,"she says with a laugh. Behind them both Mia and Niall were roaring with laughter.

We went on riding our cars like that and then stopped playing and got off.

Right what ride next?"Liam asks.

Roller Coaster,"Niall says instantly. Come on Mia, Harry its not scary,"

Mia shook her head. Nope you go ahead. I'll stay with Harry and watch you guys,"She says.

But if you do this ride, you get to tick off Riding a Roller Coaster off your journal,"I tell Mia.

Well okay but someone has to hold my hand all through the ride,"Mia says.

Well okay then. I'll do it,"I volunteer. She smiles, the tension from earlier evaporated. She couldn't stay angry with me for long. Nope the girl just loved me to much.

Oh yes Mia loooooves Zayn,"Harry whispers in my ear.

Oh shut up,"I say blushing. We go for the roller coaster and I get in next to Mia.

Don't let go of my hand okay?"she says, looking nervous.

Never,"I tell her and she smiles. Of course after the ride both my hand and my ears were never the same. I swear Mia didn't scream her lungs out, she screamed her intestines out. And as for my hand, she nearly broke it.

We went on other rides too. Then after the rides, We went to the haunted house and had too go as pairs.

So who wants to be my pair,"Mia says. Niall started to open his mouth but Louis clamped his hand over Niall's mouth and smiled convincingly at Mia who shot them a funny look.

I'll be your partner,"I say, glancing at Niall who got it. He gave me a thumbs up when Mia wasn't looking.

Right you ready?"I ask Mia.

Yeah,"Mia says, trying to sound brave but I know she's a sacred little chicken inside.

You can always chicken out if you want,"I tell her. Like the chicken you are,"I continue, teasing her.

No way,"Mia says. This was what I liked about her. She was just so feisty and always rose up to the challenge. Course when we went in, Mia had eyes clamped shut and kept knocking into things. At one point she accidentally punched a boy's nose who was pretending as a ghost.

I am so sorry,"She apologises and hands the scrawny, wire haired blonde boy a tissue.

Nah it happens,"he says with an easy smile. Mia made sure his nosebleed stopped, apologised again and then got him a soda. Then we headed out and while we were waiting for the others, we went to play games by ourselves.

I won Mia a teddy- bear and she laughed and wrinkled her nose up which I think is cute. I laughed too because I knew she wasn't that sort of girl. She did like it when guys gave her flowers and stuff but she wasn't much of a toy person.

I'll take it anyways because you worked so hard at beating the small boy who was trying to win for his girl,"Mia says with a laugh. She leans in and then kisses me on my cheek and my cheek burned where Mia kissed me.

Is that all I get?"I ask her cheekily.

Like I told you before its all you'll ever get from me, Loverboy,"Mia says with a flirty smile.

Oh yeah?"I tell her.

Yeah,"She says.

Bet you guys are all over each other by the end of the month,"Louis says, wrapping his arms around Mia and I.

My widdle babies. The Bradfor Bad Boi and the All- Rounder,"Louis says with high pitched voice.

Mia and Zayn. Sitting on a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First came love, then came Marriage, then came three little Larry Stylinsons,"Harry, Niall and Louis chorus together.

Oh shut up you three,"Zayn and I say together.
