After 17 years, Zayn and I are living in a peaceful life. I am working as a fashion designer in a well known

company. I had three kids. Zassy, 17 years old, Althea, 10 years old and Bryce, 5 years old. When I went

home from my work, I saw Zayn and Bryce playing at each other in the living room. When Bryce saw me,

he ran towards me and hugged me. I carried him and sat down in the living room. Bryce was seated on

my lap.

"Where is Zassy and Althea?" I asked Zayn

"They are in their rooms. They are doing their homework while waiting for you" 

"Oh, I need to cook for our dinner" I said

Zayn touched my hands "You completely forgot what date today"

"Mom, it's your birthday!" Bryce smiled

"Yeah. I forgot it again" I sighed

"Mom and dad are already waiting for us. We need to go there now" Zayn said

"Bryce, can you call Zassy and Althea?" I asked him

"Okay, mom" he said and went upstairs

"You need to take some rest" Zayn said as he put his arm on my shoulders

"I'm fine. I can still do this"

"I hate to see you tired" Zayn looked at me

"I'm not tired" I smiled at him

"Happy Birthday" Zayn kissed my forehead

"Dad, mom, you're doing it again" Althea crossed her arms as she was standing in front of us. She has a

black hair and tied it into a ponytail. She's wearing a dress with a zebra print on it. She got most of my looks

"What's wrong with that Althea? Dad's showing to mom how he loves her. It's normal for

married couples" Zassy said. She has also a long, straight, black hair. She's taller than me. She's wearing

a simple white shirt and jeans. She got most of Zayn's looks and also Bryce

"Mom, let's go! Grandma and grandpa are already waiting for us!" Bryce said

We hopped inside the car and Zayn started to drive. When we arrived at the the house, mom and dad were

already there waiting for us. Henry was there with his two year old baby boy, Chris. Henry married with a

doctor named, Georgina. She's a pure British. Jefferson is now living in New York with his wife. Elizabeth

is staying here in the house. She's working as a Physical Therapist. 

"Happy Birthday Jessy!" Henry smiled at me and gave me a warm hug

"Thanks, Henry"

Mom walked towards me and hugged me "Happy Birthday"

"Thanks mom"

We had a celebration and ate our dinner. We talked about our lives and had some fun. After eating 

our dinner, Bryce was playing with his cousin, Chris. Zassy, Althea and Georgina were talking. 

"I wish Eleanor is here with us" I said

"I really miss her

"Me too. It's been 17 years" I looked at Henry

"I hope she's doing fine"

Henry and Georgina helped mom in washing the dishes. Zayn and dad drank some alcoholic drinks together. 

I saw Zassy looking at the picture of Eleanor. I stood beside her. 

"Is this Aunt Eleanor?" she asked still looking at the picture

"Yes"

"Where is she now? Is she really dead?" Zassy looked at me 

"We haven't seen her for 17 years so we think she's dead but she's still alive for us deep inside our hearts"

"I think she's not yet dead" 

"How can you say that?" I looked at her

"I only believe that she's dead if I saw her dead body. She's really beautiful"

"Yeah, she's really beautiful. She's like the every guy's type of girl"

We were eating our dinner when Zassy told us about something of her classmate.

"Dad, I have a classmate. He's the silent type of guy. He doesn't have friends. He's loner. I got pity about him 

because he eats his lunch alone. He's wearing glasses. He's cute but I don't know why he has no friends"

"Then, make friends with him" Zayn said

"Isn't it sound flirty?" 

"Being friendly is way too different from being flirty" I said

"My classmates like him because he's cute but they said he's weird. I don't find him weird. A while ago, 

I helped him getting those books from the faculty room because our teacher told him to get those books. 

He's friendly but he's shy"

"Be his friend" Althea said

"Yeah. Althea's right" I said

Zassy sighed and pouted

Zassy, Zayn and I went to the mall to buy some clothes. Althea and Bryce are in the school. Zassy has half

day classes so she's with us. We bought clothes for her, Althea and Bryce. We ate our lunch in a restaurant.

There were people asked for some pictures with us. After they took pictures, Zassy asked

"You were really famous before dad?" 

"Yes. We were number one whole wideworld" Zayn said

"I wish I was already born at that time so I can see how famous you are" she pouted

I received a tex from someone. I opened the text message and it was the director from the Hollywood

who made our love story into a movie. He said that the movie will be shown next month. 

"Zayn, our movie will be shown next month"

"You had a movie with dad?" Zassy asked

"No, our love story was made into a movie"

"Really?! I can't wait to watch the movie! Let's watch together with our family!" Zassy smiled

"Of course, we will watch it" I smiled at her

When Zayn was driving home, a guy from the street passed by. Zayn took his break and the guy fell down. 

We were shocked and we went outside from the car directly. Zayn looked at the guy's face.

"Let's take him to the hospital" I said

Zayn carried the guy and placed him at the back seat. Zassy looked at the guy 

"Dad, mom. This is the guy I've been telling you the other night. This is my classmate who's a loner"

I looked behind "Really? This is him?"

Zassy nodded

When we arrived at the hospital, we sent him to the emergency room. The guy was still breathing.

He opened his eyes

"Are you okay?" Zayn asked

He nodded and was catching for some breath

"Do you have contact numbers of your guardian?" I asked

He nodded and got his phone from his pocket. I got his phone

"Who's your mom and dad? Are they staying here?" Zayn asked

"Yes, they're staying here. Eleanor is my mom and Louis is my dad"

Zayn and I exchanged glances. We can't believe what the guy just said

I took a deep breath and asked "What's your name?"

"Duke Austin Calder Tomlinson"
