Stranded

I wake up to my alarm blaring through my room.

"Shut up." I groan hitting the snooze button. I crawl out of bed and go over to my closet, pulling out my work uniform. I slip into that and walk to my bathroom. I straighten my hair and pull it up into a ponytail. I put my usual makeup on and go back to my room, grabbing my keys. I walk down the stairs and to the front door.

"Bye mum! I'm leaving." I yell, walking out the door.

I walk down the street and to the hair salon in the middle of town. It's been 3 days since Zayn got back. Since we had that encounter outside my house. And today is the day my mum and brother leave for America.

I get to work, walking inside and clocking in.

"Hey Sky." My co-worker Anissa says.

"Hey Anissa." I smile.

"Sky. Recommendation." Javier says from the counter.

"Right over here." I point to the seat in front of me as the customer sits.

"I've heard you're the best one here. I'm hoping thats true." She smiles.

"I've heard that a lot." I smile back.

"Do you do your own hair?" She asks studying it through the mirror as I comb through her hair.

"Yea. What would you like?" I ask.

"I think I'd like it like yours but a tad bit shorter and instead of the dark brown highlights, reddish highlights." She says gesturing to her hair.

"Sounds perfect." I smile wetting down her hair and grabbing my scissors.

I get to work and after about 2 hours I'm done.

"Oh my. You are really good. It's exactly how I pictured it." She smiles admiring it.

"Why thank you." I smile.

"I'm definitely coming back to you." She says giving me a very decent tip.

She walks out and I take a short break. I take this time to sort out my colours and tools in my area.

"Sky. You got an appointment in 3 minutes. You wanna go ahead and start on them?" Javier turns amd asks.

"Sure. Send them back." I say brushing off the chair.

"Oh. Uh, hey Sky." I hear the voice behind me.

I turn around and see Zayn standing there with a couple other guys I know by Harry and Louis.

"Uh. Hi." I say quietly, not making eye contact.

"Uhm. Which one of you is getting your hair done?" I ask.

"Just Harry and I." Zayn says.

"Alright. Uhm Do both of you want me? Or does one of you wanna go to-Uh nevermind. They both have appointments. I guess you're stuck with me." I say awkwardly.

"Alright. Harry, wanna go first?" Zayn steps back. Good, I don't wanna touch his hair.

Harry takes a seat in front of the mirror and I comb through it.

"Any specific style or cut? or just a trim?" I ask.

"Surprise me." He smiles letting his dimples show, making me smile.

I look at his face and his hair determining what style would look best. I decide just to do a trim and add a few more layers and making it a tad longer in the back. I get to work and I'm proud of the outcome. It actually looks a lot better than I expected. I brush off the extra hair and he gets up examining it.

"Geez. I think she should be our stylist." He says running his hand through it.

"Speaking of stylist, why aren't you getting your hair done by her?" I ask curiously.

"Shes on vacation for a while." Zayn buts in.

"Oh. Well, are you ready?" I ask him.

He nods and sits.

"Surprise me. You can even dye it if you want." He says, looking at me through the mirror.

Hmm, what to do. I decide to cut it shorter and make it wispy and dye the front a blondish orange colour. Again, it comes out better than expected.

"Wow. You are really good. I didn't expect you to be this good." He says.

"Okay that's it. Do mine too." Louis says like a little kid.

I chuckle and brush the seat off, patting it. He comes over and sits down. I cut his hair and make it messy but hot.

"Hey Lou. We should talk to Simon about hiring her too. Her and Lou could work together." I hear Harry whisper to Lou.

"Thanks Sky." Zayn says as they pay. I give him a small smile and nod.

After work I walk back home. I go inside meeting my mum and brother in the kitchen.

"Hey hun. How was work?" My mum asks tugging her bag behind her.

"Good. I got to cut 3 famous people hair." I say.

"Oh wow. Who?" She asks.

"Hm I wonder. How many famous people come to Bradford?" I chuckle.

"Oh right. Well that's fun." She says.

"Yea. Are you guys leaving soon?" I ask.

"Yea. In a couple minutes." She says.

"Shane! Hurry up!" She yells up the stairs.

He comes down the stairs, lugging a few bags behind him.

"I swear, you're worse than a girl." I say shaking my head.

"Shut up." He says glaring at me.

"Are you sure you don't wanna come with us?" She asks sadly.

"I can't mum. Work." I say.

"Yea. But really she's gonna throw huge parties and have guys over." Shane says.

"Shut up you nerd!" I slap his arm.

"Well, Shane lets get going. I'll call when we get there and when we land. I love you." She gives me a hug.

"I love you too mum." I say hugging her back.

"Bye little sis." Shane says.

"Shane. I'm older." I say in confusion.

"By like 3 seconds." He says.

"More like 3 minutes." I say.

This is how twins argue. We discuss who came out of the vagina first.

"Bye dork. Love you." I say smiling.

"I love you too. Noob." He says hugging me.

I honestly don't know what I would do without him. He always knows when somethings wrong. Something with that twin telepathy or whatever. He'll just call me up at work or something and ask if I'm okay when I'm not. We always look out for each other. I know I can always count on him to have my back.

"Bye guys. Love you." I say as they walk out the door and leave.

I open the fridge and start to grab stuff for dinner. I look down at my stomach, lifting up my shirt. Ew.

I go to the couch and sit down, turning on the tele.

"There's nothing to do!" I whine, throwing my head back.

I know one thing. Time to take of le pants. I always go without pants when I'm home alone. I guess that means no pants for the next 5 days! Woop!

Ding dong.

Damn it man. Sorry pants, you gotta stay on.

I walk to the front door and open it, revealing the one and only. No, not Zayn, actually this time it's Harry Styles.

"Uh. Hi?" I say awkwardly looking around outside for any sign of Zayn. When I don't see him I turn my attention back to Harry.

"I just came by to see if you wanted to come hang out with the boys and I. It seemed to me that you and Zayn know each other. He was calling you Sky, which I presume is your name?" He says.

"Uh, yea. I'm Sky. Me and Zayn have-uh-I guess we can say we have a history. Not like that. But from school and stuff." I say, bringing back all the memories.

"Well, Sky, I'm Harry and I think, maybe you should come to the cinema with us tonight. It gives you a chance to catch u with an old friend." He smiles. Zayn and I are far from friends. I'm guessing he never mentioned a thing about me. I mean, why would he? I was just the girl he use to bully year after year.

"I don't think that's such a great idea." I say thinking of an excuse.

"Please?" He begs.

"I'm sorry. I'm just really busy today with work and my mum just left with my brother for America, so I'm expecting a call from them soon." I say. It's not a complete lie. I am waiting for a call from my mum. But I'm not busy. At all. Like seriously, there's nothing to do.

"Are you sure?" He asks with sad eyes.

"Yea. Sorry." I say with fake sadness.

"Well, if you change your mind, just text or call." He says handing me a small piece of paper with writing on it. Was he planning to give me his number anyway or does he always walk around with a slip of paper that has his number on it?

"Alright. Bye Harry." I say, walking back inside.

I close the door and walk to the couch, slouching down.
