Chapter 40: Evening of the Heartbroken (Mia)

What are you wearing then?"Danni asks. I shrug.

I dunno,"I say, opening my wardrobe. I brought some of my clothes over from my apartment and together with Ele and Danni, I had gone shopping and gotten myself some decent clothes and shoes.

Well lets see them all,"Ele says with a smile. So out came crashing all my clothes.

Oooh I like that,"Danni says. Try that on with this,"

No I like this better,"Danni protests. Mia try this on,"

I'll try it both my lovely girlfriends,"I say with a laugh. I love them Danni and Ele. In the little time I had spent with them, I had grown so close and fond towards them. They were just amazing, lovely, mind-blowing beautiful people.

Try this on,"Ele says, holding up a dress.

I've forgotten all about that,"I say with a smile. It was a gorgeous black Sole Mio Victorian Lace Dress without sleeves. Liv had given it to me, saying she looked fat in it when she looked curvy in it.

I hate it, Mia,"Liv says. Its neither you take it or I throw it,"

I'll take it then,"I say, fingering the dress.

I looked good in it. Ele paired it with a pair of Louboutins and then she sat me down and did my make up for me. She gave me smoky black eyes with riveting bright red lips and a soft blush on my cheek. Meanwhile, Danni did my hair which came out wonderfully after she'd spent ages with my hair with a curling iron. I put on my shoes and then look at my reflection in the mirror. For a moment, I was taken aback.

Well?"Ele says, slinging an arm over my shoulder.

I am speechless,"I say with a huge smile and reach over to hug her.

We'll take that as a positive answer then,"Danni says, hugging me and Ele too.

I look amazing you guys,"I say with a huge smile.

Of course you do,"Ele says. You were made up by the FabuLouis Ele and BrilLiam Danni,"

I laugh. Of course,"I say. Two most talented people,"

Oh my look at the time,"Danni says. Its almost eight,"

Zayn had told me that to be ready by 8 and at that moment the doorbell rang.

Guess Zayn is here," I say with a smile. Thanks lovelies,"

You're most welcome Mia love,"Ele says with a smile.

Anything for you,"Danni says. I head to the door and open it. But its not Zayn at the door. Its...

Hello,"I say, bending down to the same height as the adorable little boy at the door. He has bright blue eyes with a shock of blond hair. He smile back at me and holds out a single blood red rose to me.

Why thank you,"I say, taking it from him with a smile. Whats your name then?"

I'm William but you can call me Will,"he says in the most adorable manner. He leans and kisses me lightly on my cheek.

Aww thank you sweetheart,"I say and ruffle his hair.

I have a note for you as well,"he says and hands me a note. Just then a women with the same blonde hair and blue eyes walks towards us.

Mummy did I do well?"Will asks his mummy.

You did splendid love,"his mother says, picking him up. She turns and smiles at me.

You have a nice evening then love,"She says.

Thanks I will,"I say and wave to her and Will. I open the note and both Danni and Ele peer over to see.

Lots of fun for tonight, Meet me at our room.

Zayn

Well I'm going to my room then,"I say with a smile. Wasn't Will adorable?"

Very adorable,"Ele says.

I just wanted to pinch his cheeks,"Danni says with a laugh.

I say goodbye to them and then head to my room. Outside was a not Zayn waiting but a girl of around 10 years old waiting for me. She smiled at me and handed me another red rose and another note.

Thanks,"I say with a smile. She nods and scampers off. I open the note and smile.

A round of games, meet me at the lift then?

Zayn

I smiled and shook my head a little and head to the lift. And to get to the lift, I had to go pass the boys and girls rooms. They were all standing outside their rooms.

What's going on?"I say, surprised.

Its a surprise silly,"Liam says. He' standing together with Danni and they hand me a single rose respectively. Next was Louis and Eleanor. The both of them were on their knees.

Accept my rose my fair lady,"The both chorus together and I laugh. Next was Niall and he was smiling at me with his hands at the back.

This is for you beautiful,"he says and holds out yet another rose. I laugh.

Thanks Niall,"I say and kiss his cheek lightly. Lastly was Harry and he grabs me and spins me around for a little with a rose in his mouth. Finally he stops and bows deeply.

This for you,"he says dramatically, holding out a rose. I smile and take it from him.

Hey where's my kiss?"He asks and I laugh harder and kiss him on the cheek. He smiles and then I say goodbye to the gang and head to the lift. By now I had quite a bunch of roses on hand and when I get to the lift, there's a note tapped to the wall saying

Just close your eyes and enjoy the roller coaster that is life. So do me a favor love and take the lift. Don't worry it won't be a roller coaster ride. Meet me at the lobby?

Zayn

I smile and hit the button for the lift. Then wait for the lift to go down to the lobby. When the door opens the guy from the valet, Marco. He's holding a fresh bunch of roses and a letter with ribbons and a single balloon on it.

This is for you senorita,"he says and I smile. Let me hold those,"Marco continues, referring to the flowers on my hands. I smile and hand it to him and he hands me the letter. I open it and read.

I did love the days we spent riding your Vespa on the way to school everyday. I never had the chance to drive it around because i didn't know how to use it and I didn't have a license. And my arse is not big and yours is certainly not more attractive than mine is(I laughed at this) Dear Amelia meet me at the front, I promise this is the last destination.

Zayn. :)X

I smile and take my flowers from Marco and quickly walk out to the front and smile when I see Zayn. He's dressed all posh, wearing a tux, his hair cropped and neat, holding another rose and smiles at me.

Zayn Malik what on earth is all this?"I ask him with a smile as he hands me the rose.

Your surprise,"he says and then Marco pulls up infant of us with the same sort of Vespa I had when I was sixteen. I gasp and look at Zayn who beams back at me.

This is for you,"Zayn says and hands me the keys to the Vespa. I can't drive,"

You had better not have bought this,"I tell Zayn as I hand Zayn my clutch. I neatly sit on the sit and Zayn squashes himself behind me.

I had better tie my hair,'' I say reaching in my clutch for a scrunchie. I tie my hair back into an untidy bun and put my hands on the steering.

Of course I didn't buy this,"Zayn says with a laugh. I knew you'd hit the roof so I rented it,"

Where to then?"I ask Zayn.

Central Park, Shakespeare Garden,"Zayn answers.

Right then,"I say starting the engine. Hold on tight,"

Got that,"he says as I drive to Central Park. Zayn shouts and whoops along energetically as we head along the highway.

Keep it down will you Malik?"I shout back to Zayn. We arrive at Central Park and the entire pathway to Shakespeare Garden is light up with rows of little candles. I park the bike at a corner and then get of the bike as gracefully as I could.

That was fun,"Zayn says, handing me my clutch. His hands move to my hair and pulls off my band.

There,"he says and looks at me funnily. I smile and blush lightly and Zayn laughes.

This way then,"he says, grabbing hold of my hand.

But Shakespeare Garden is that way,"I protest.

I know but Turtle Pond is that way and so is the Alice in Wonderland,"Zayn says.

(Zayn)

I drag Mia to Turtle Pond where we spend time playing with turtles. Mia took her shoes off and played with some of the turtles. Then we headed off to the Alice In Wonderland statue and then explore that part of the park a little.

Zayn I'm terribly hungry,"Mia says, patting her stomach. It hits me too how I hungry I suddenly am and want too have dinner too.

Well lets go then,"I say and hold my hand out for Mia. She gives me a look and then smiles and takes my hand. We march to Shakespeare Garden and Mia gasps when she sees the tiny table underneath the tent. There are brightly lit candles all over and lights and red balloons and tablecloths and more to match.

Zayn I'm stunned beyond words,"Mia says with a smile.

I know,"I say and take her hand and guide her to the table. We take our seats and then the waiter comes forward and smiles warmly at us.

Wine?"he asks. We have White, Chardonnay and Red, Pinot Noir,"

White please," Mia says with a smile and he pours some into her glass.

Sir?"the waiter says turning to me.

White too,"I say with a smile and he fills my glass.

Shall I bring out the appetizer then?"he asks and I nod.

Yes please,"I say. Thanks,"

Mia takes a grateful sip of her Chardonnay. Oh this is good,"she says with sigh. The waiter comes back and then places our food on the table. The table had already been set with the silver and everything so Mia and I tuck in to the simple Caesar salad I knew Mia was so fond of. After that Mia had a lamb steak and I had the beef.

This is absolutely lovely Zayn,"she says with a smile, dabbing her riveting bright red lips with a tissue. She puts her fork and knife down daintily and smiles.

I know,"I say with a smile. Surprise,"

Isn't it a little to late to say that?"she asks and smiles. We make small talk and Mia asks me how I planned this all. I'm telling her about how I got the bike rented and everything and then for a minute her expression falls.

What's wrong?"I ask, frowning.

Well I've been meaning to ask you,"Mia starts. Remember Jessica Wade?"

Yeah,"I say with a slow nod.

Well yes I met her today at Starbucks,"Mia continues and I look at her confusedly.

Isn't she supposed to be in England already?"I think. And then?"I ask.

Yes and Zayn she told me something about that girl you like,"

And?"I say.

Nevermind. Forget I asked you that. Why did you ask me along for the tour Zayn?"Mia says trying to change the subject and I want to sigh in relief. Bloody Jess,"I think

Well you're my best friend and when I got home, I decided I wanted you to come with me so we could spend more time,"I say with a smile.

Really?"Mia asks, studying me.

Of course,"I say with a frown. Why else would I ask you?"

Oh I don't know,"Mia says. Maybe you wanted to keep me from Leo?"

I look up and see her studying me with an intense look. Why on earth is she doing this to me?

Yes I wanted to keep you from that daft idiot,"I blurt out before I can stop myself.

What is your problem?"Mia demands. Why do you dislike him so much?"

He's not right for you Mia. I mean come on, you can do so much better than him,"I spat out.

And who exactly are you to tell me who's right for me and who's not, Zayn Malik?"Mia shoots back.

Oh I'm no one important in your bloody life,"I say and stand up. I'm so angry right now and I need a cigarette. I reach into my pocket and pull out one from a box and light it up. I puff on it and Mia frowns.

(Mia)

Since when did you start smoking?"I demand.

And who exactly are you to question me?"Zayn shoots back. I walk up to me and pull the cigarette away from him and throw it to the floor and crush it out with my shoe.

Oh great now you're telling me what to do,"Zayn says. Way to go to being a complete hypocrite,"

You know what I can't understand?"I say angrily to him. Why did you go through all the trouble to try break Leo and I up, Zayn?"

Can't you see Mia?"Zayn yells. Mia he's no good for you. You can do so much better than him,"

Why do you keep saying that?"I demand. You don't even know him for good sakes,"

Zayn sighs and looks at me.

Why can't you see that the bloody gold digger is just using you for the fame. You're Zayn Malik's best friend and all he wants from you is his bloody fifteen minutes of fame and nothing else and I can't believe you're not seeing that,"

Zayn he's not like that,"I tell him but Zayn cuts me off.

What does he do make you believe that he's not using you?"Zayn says. How much did he pay for you to sleep around with him huh?"

My hand moves forward and across Zayn's face in that moment when I'm not thinking right, when my mind is filled with nothing but anger. I slapped him. For a moment, I'm shocked and taken aback at what I've done. And then I realize tears are rolling down my cheeks and I'm actually crying.

How can you say that?"I whisper out. I'm your best friend, Zayn,"

Zayn senses that he's gone to far and doesn't seem to care I'd just slapped him.

Mia I'm so sorry,"he apologises. Look let me explain,"

Zayn I don't want to listen to you and your bloody excuses,"I say harshly. I start walking away to the main path. I've never felt so insulted in my life. How could he say such a thing to me? All I wanted to do was get a cab, get back to the hotel, pack my bags and leave.

Mia I didn't mean to say that,"Zayn says, grabbing my hand. It just came out of my mouth,"

Zayn don't touch me,"I yell at him, wrenching my hand away. I wipe my tears away angrily and then look in my clutch for my money. I see the keys to the Vespa and I take it and throw it at Zayn.

Mia don't look I'm really sorry,"He says, running after me.

Zayn just get lost alright?"I yell.

Mia stop,"he says. Mia I love you,"

I pause and turn around. He doesn't love me,"My mind says. He wouldn't have said all those things,"

Zayn if you really did love me, you wouldn't have said those things to me,"I whisper out and turn around and walk off. He doesn't come after me and I hail a cab and then when I get to the hotel, I pay the cabbie and walk as fast as I can in my Louboutins and burst into my room. I lock it incase Zayn came back and I burst into tears. I cry uncontrollably and sink on to my bed. I pull off my shoes and then change out of my clothes and change into .com/cgi/set?id=48801433. My make up is ruined with the mascara dribbled down to my chin. I wash my face and grab all my clothes from my cupboard and chuck them hurriedly into my bag.

Mia open up,"Zayn shouts, banging on the door. I ignore him and go on with packing my bags.

Mia please just give me a chance to explain,"Zayn pleads. I throw the last of my things into my bag, grab my bag and then take a deep breath. I open the door and there's Zayn panting. I push past him and walk to the lift.

Mia you can't leave now,"Zayn says.

Yes I can and I will,"I answer, trying to hold my tears back.

Mia just give me a chance to explain please,"He pleads as I walk into the lift. Mia please,"

I look away and close the door to the lift. I hail a cab and direct him straight to the airport. I had my passport and everything in my bag.

I need tickets to your earliest flight to Heathrow airport, London,"I say to the girl behind the counter.

We only have first class seats and the gates close in twenty minutes,"She says. You can still make it if you get in now. I can hold them back for five minutes,"

I'll take a ticket then,"I say and whip out the emergency platinum credit card Dad had given me. He was going to flip but this was an emergency. I take my tickets, check in my bags and then head to gates 7. Just before I enter, I pull my phone out and dial Liv's number. She was in London living in her sisters empty house at the moment.

Liv I'm coming home,"I tell her.
