Catch a Star
Chapter 23
ZAYN'S POV
Yeah great guys I dont want to go or anything. She literally just hit it and quite it on me. She could have at least asked me if I wanted to go or suggest something to Niall. This little crush Niall has on her is getting fucking annoying always fucking shit up. She doesn't even see him like that , she sees me like that. I mean I love him hes my best mate and all but really a guy needs to take a hint. Shes fucking me not him.
I walk into my room and change into something. Maybe I can get some sleep and stop thinking about... them.
NIALL'S POV
"How's your dad?" I asked as Mads and I walked to restaurant. She looked at me weird but then she made a face like she remember something.
"Oh yeah um hes good. Thanks." She puts her hand in her pockets and looks at her feet as she walks.
"You know I dont know anything about your family other then a Dad and Sister." I try and look at her but her head stays down.
" Um yeah its a long story with the whole family thing." She lifted her head up and looked at me with a smile but I could tell she was thinking about something else. I see a restaurant coming up that looks safe. I open the door for he tot walk into and follow her in. We get seated and comfortable.
"We have time." I say as the waitress walks away.
"Whta?" She ask with a slight smile.
"We have time now ... for you to tell me about your family." She smile and shakes her head.
"Niall you are impossible." She looks back at the menu. "Hey remember that waitress from the dinner we went to in New York?" She ask with a little laugh at the end. I smile as I think aboutt at morning but then remember the afternoon.
"Yeah." I say as Ii look at the menu again not really reading anything. " So that family." She looks at me a little more serious but still with a slight smile.
"Niall you dont need to be burdened with my life story." She states.
"Come on I wanna know .. seriously no judgment.": I slide my hand across the table and lay in on top of hers. She bites her bottom lips slightly but then takes a deep breath.
"Okay but I dont want to be pitteyed at all and you cant tell anyone." She hold up her pinky finger for me to take. I smile and pinky promise to her demands.
"Okay what can I get you." The waitress says right as Mads opens her mouth. God Dammit. We give her our orders and then I look at her waiting for her to continue.
"Okay so my dads in the army and was stationed in England and I was born here-"
"You're from here!"I ask with curiosity.
"Okay another rule, all questions saved till the end." She says with sass. I laugh and nod my head for her to continue.
"As I was saying I was born in England and then when I was two my dad was stationed back in America, in Baltimore. We stayed there and moved around a little but stayed in Baltimore for the most part. When I was like five my dad got deployed to Afghanistan." She stops and looks at her glass of water like she was remembering a memory. " Um its weird I still remember the day he left even though I was so young. My mom said 'Dont say goodbye just say see yah later.' and that's what I did. It was about a year later that things went wrong. We would usually have gotten a call from my dad every day around dinner time and if not we would always hear fro him the next day. We had gone four days with no call or information. I was only six but I remember the way my mom acted she just stood by he phone, didn't sleep, didn't eat. I had to make myself dinner and get myself dressed and ready for school." She looked away again at her glass and looked angry. I reached over and lightly place my hand over hers to try and calm her down. She looked at me with the contact of our skin. Her eyes softened and she cleared her throat to get back to the story.
"Sorry umm, yeah so like anyone she thought he was dead. After two weeks of no contact it was like her soul was gone. Whatever that was wasn't my mother. It just stared at a spot on the wall with no emotion." She looked off again but came right back.
"Came home from school one day and found her asleep in her bed upstairs. I was relieved at first because she hadnt slept in so long. I went to go crawl in bed with her and lay down also. I laid my body next to her and all I can remember thinking was how cold she was. So naturally I put a blanket over her then I realised that the blanket-" She stopped speaking and her eyes started to build with tears but they didn't fall. She took a deep breath.
"Mads you dont have t-"
"i want to." she cut me off. She closed her eyes and took another breath. When she opened them the tears were almost all gone.
"The blanket wasn't moving with her chest. She wasn't breathing. She had taken a whole bottle of pills. I called 911 but it was too late. She was dead hours before I had even gotten there. There I was thinking both my parents are dead what the hell am I suppose to do? But it turns out that my dad was completely fine, that my dads squad had gotten lost and didn't have reception but when they round them they were perfectly okay. My mother had killed herself for no reason. I stayed with a close friend of my mothers that was listed as my emergency contact until my dad got home. Her name was Lacey and she had a daughter named Kayla, she ended up marrying my dad a few years later and yeah." She was playing with her finger nails.
I couldn't help but fell utterly sorry for this girl and everything she had been through. But she said no pity do I just looked at her with understanding eyes.
"And if you dont mind that all the drama I want to tell you at the moment." There's more? How could she possibly had been put through more!
