nothing ever really mattered, they said. not even your own identity. zendaya thought it that way. she was taught to think this way — to survive and not get killed. and zendaya would only exist and be remembered in one little boy's memories. sebastian. or perhaps this boy would not also even care to remmember her. who is she to begin with? why does she have to be remembered?

"earth to maree!" zack clapped in marre's face. in this life, in this room, in this clothes, zendaya never existed and should never be, or everything she worked hard for would burn down to ashes. too easy. thus she had to be careful.

there's only one rule jacob told her before he died.

"DO NOT LET YOUR EMOTIONS RULE OVER YOU! NEVER!" jacob was clasping on her shoulders so tight all she could do was nod. "and don't cry! not ever. you hear me?" he said it sternly, this time wiping the tears zendaya couldn't control to spill from her eyes. "do you hear me, maree?"

zendaya was taken aback. jacob never called her maree before. he never liked it. he said it was too feminine and it would only do her bad to have that name known in public. but that night, for the first time – and the last time – he called her maree, eyeing his hands that were grasping hers for dear life.

"are you with us now, agent maree?" their boss, the commander in chief of the united states of america, hillary clinton cleared her throat.

maree's trance was cut off and her eyes redirected from the ground to the wide screen monitor of their cave. "yes, ma'am, always here. just thinking what would be my next outfit on my next mission." maree gave the commander the widest grin she could muster. "so, babes? you have one for me?"

"stoermer! how many times do i need to tell you to stop calling me, babes! have some respect! i'm still the commander in chief!" hillary clinton crossed her arms, furrowing her brows, squinting her eyes on maree.

"we all know you like it, though! you can't fool us, babes."

"agent stoermer!"

maree only winked at their commander before she read the file, zack – who was chuckling with the scene in front of them – handed her.

subject: MICHAEL CLIFFORD

maree snickered at this, thinking it's another guy she had to leave behind, crying.

location: AUSTRALIA

but the location made her face grew serious. things happened in australia. things until now she couldn't wipe off of her mind.

mission: BREAK HIS HEART

"WHAAATTT?????!?!" she blurted out. not believing what she had read.

"i see, you've read the paper. i'm giving you 1 month to accomplish this mission, agent." the commander apprehended with a smug face before turning to the other agents in the room, leaving maree who started zoning out again from the meeting.

coup d’etat: the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government of a small group

this is an alternative universe fan fiction so be aware that the personality of the characters are entirely based on how i planned the story should be, and not of what i think the artists i casted are in reality.

DISCLAIMER: lots of cuss words, serious topics like racism, homophobia and all kinds of discrimination. let’s all be open-minded. read at your own discretion.

Notes

just so u guys all know, i write on wattpad for like (?) years now, but since my bestfriend decided to write a fanfic and put it on here, I AM HERE! haha anyways, i never expected i would actually put this story on here. i mean, i could just put it on wattpad too, u know. but since this is a 5sos site and i'm a mikey bitch and all blahs about adoring this ball of puffiness, it seems legit to publish it here. in hopes also that on here i'd finally get to finish a whole fanfic novel hahaha fingers crossed, fam! and since this has already been said, it would probably be appropriate to tell u ahead of time that when i get bored with writing and all, i might take this down anytime i think it's no longer a piece i am proud of. [ so yes, your vote-comment-subscription to this story would help a ton for it to stay on here] i just hope i wouldn't be ripping this out of here because of someone plagiarizing it tho, that's what has been scaring me the most about writing a fanfic.

anywayyy, okay this note has been going on too long now, time to move on.

tell me what u think on the comment section below! :) i'm up for long threads and convo! haha let's make the comment section a group chat box! hahahahahahaha joke XD

but if u dont like that happening, u can always reach me on twitter @n0vaFeliz (i followback if u tell me to, i'm pretty obedient with my readers [as long as it's not about altering the plot of my story tho hihi])

OKKAAYYY, til the next update kings and queens of the new broken scene!
