Chapter 9

ZAYN'S POV

No can do 😔

I sighed and stared at the clock, waiting for the bell to go. Just then my phone vibrated again, I assumed it was from Sky but when I checked it was from Harry.

Meet me behind the corner shop

I sighed. Now what do I do?

Can't. Meeting Sky.

Tell her something important came up.Do you want the money or not?

I stared for a long at the last message. I have to do it, after I do I'll explain everything to her. Simple.

Fine.

As I hit the send button the bell rang and I quickly got out, trying to get out the school gates before Sky catches me.

SKYLYNN'S POV

I calmly got out of the school gates and waited where Zayn told me to meet him. 10 minutes passed by so I sat down on a nearby bench and got out my phone. He just probably got hold up in class, I kept saying.

"Sky! What are you doing here? We've been looking for you." El, Dani and Blair came up to me.

"Oh uh hey, I am uh.. Waiting for someone." I replied.

Eleanor must've sensed the bored look on my face.

"For how long?" She asked, knowing herself that I've been waiting for a long time.

"Oh um. Few minutes." I lied.

Ugh where the hell is Zayn?

"Want company?" Dani asked.

"No no. It's okay, you guys go." I said.

They were silent for a while.

Did I just tell them to go..?

I looked at Blair for help. Her eyes started twinkling with excitement because she finally figured out that the someone was Zayn.

"Hey uh.. can you two help me clean up the basement. My mum has been telling me for ages and I really don't wanna do it alone." She asked.

El and Dani nodded and left, not forgetting to wave at me before turning around to leave.

15 minutes now went by and Zayn still wasn't here, just then my phone vibrated and a message with the name Zayn came up.

Hey. Something important came up, can we meet same place evening?

I sighed. Why did I think this would ever work? And a text message? At least tell me in person.

Sorry Zayn. No.Oh and by the way, don't ever call me, text me or talk to me.

It hurt. I don't know why but it hurt, still does.

Srsly? Your doing this on texting terms?

Likewise.

I know I probably sound like a bitch but right now, I really didn't care.

Let me explain tonight. Please.

Then I did what I had to do, for the best.

ZAYN'S POV

The person you are messaging has currently blocked you.

"Fuck." I cursed under my breath.

Just then, Harry came with two drinks.

"She's pissed. Congratulations." I said sarcastically, one eyebrow raised.

Harry placed the drinks on the table and sighed, "Perrie called. She's pissed too."

I sighed. Forgot all about her. But to be honest, I don't give a damn shit about her. Don't know why I hooked up with her in the first place.

"Well go on, it's your plan not mine." I said.

SKYLYNN'S POV

I bit my lip to stop myself from crying. I don't need to cry over men. A stubborn tear escaped my eyes and soon with lots of other tears. I wiped my eyes with the back of my hands and walked back to my house, hopefully mum will let me back.

My vision was blurry from crying and I bumped into someone.

"Sorry." I said, looking down.

I tried to go passed the person but it gently grabbed me by the arm.

"Hey. Zayn's friend right?" I looked up and saw a blonde.

I nodded and hastily wiped my tears.

"You okay?" He asked, the sun hitting his concerned blue eyes at a perfect angle.

I nodded again, not wanting to speak.

"You can tell me." He said softly.

This time I couldn't nod, because I didn't want to tell him. I had to open my mouth.

"Hey uh, I really need to get going now. Maybe next time.." I said quickly.

The blonde looked at me, narrowing his concerned eyes.

"I don't bite." He chuckled.

I smiled and sat back down on the bench, him sitting beside me.

"So.." I stretched the so, asking for his name.

"Niall." he replied.

"Irish?" I asked.

"Proud to be." He smiled.

I told him what happened, not in detail though.

"Zayn's not usually like that. Well, he might be late but he never ditches someone through text. In fact, he doesn't ditch them at all. Once he makes a promise he keeps it." Niall said.

Okay maybe I was a little too harsh. From Niall's words, Zayn sounded nice and caring.

"Are you saying I should forgive him?" I asked.

He thought for a bit, "talk it out, and if you want to forgive then him then you do."

I nodded and smiled, "thanks Niall."

He gave me a cute smile back, his perfect white teeth showing, "anytime."

I got up to hug him, him doing the same.

"See you around." I said, waving and then turning around to leave.

I guess I had to go to Zayn's house and wait for him to get back.

NIALL'S POV

As soon as she was out of sight I bought out my phone.

"Hello, Harry?" I said through the phone.

"I spoke to her, she calmed down and she's going over to Zayn's to apologise." I said.

"Alright Zayn will be there in a few minutes." Harry spoke.

Harry ended the call and I did too.

I gulped.

I normally hated doing this kind of stuff. But I had to, not for the money, for Harry to keep his mouth shut about me. God knows what that man can do.

SKYLYNN'S POV

I sat down on his doorstep for about 10 minutes. But this time I wasn't impatient, I was anxious, hoping that he'll take more long to come so I could think about it.

Then his car pulled up on his driveway and I suddenly got butterflies in my stomach.

He came closer, his vanilla scent following him.

I stood up and looked him in the eye, and without thinking I crashed my lips on him.

I soon realised what I just did. I released the kiss and gasped.

"Oh my god, I'm sorry I didn't mean to--" I started.

"Calm down." Zayn said, smirking.

"It's alright." He added.

I looked down at my shoes and fidgeted with my hands.

Zayn cleared his throat.

"I'm sorry I couldn't meet you before. Something important came up and--"

"Which is?" I cut him off.

He was silent for a while, "my mum. She's moving back to our home town and she didn't even tell me. I had to find out the hard way."

Okay now I was definitely being a bitch to him earlier on.

"We cool?" He asked.

I looked up at his honey brown eyes and smiled.

"Yh, we're cool."

We went inside but I still wasn't satisfied with him. with us.

I mean, I didn't know where we stood. Are we friends or are we more?

HEYYYY! So I know I gave away ALOT of clues today but that's what makes you more curious 😏 ... Vote and comment plssss ty x
