Chapter 13

I gulped at the thought of innocent Sky not knowing what her boyfriend and two best friends were up to.

I didn't know what to do then. Shall I do it for the money or shall I stop only because I didn't want the one I loved to get hurt.

Love.. Love.. It was a strange word that I didn't use very often but I knew for a fact that my feelings for Sky were growing bigger and bigger.

I stood near the corner, next to the door, while Harry, El and Dani were discussing. I couldn't do this, I had to stop.

Just then I saw blue eyes peeping through the door. I jumped.

"H-Harry. Is someone else here besides us?" I asked.

Harry furrowed his eyebrows.

"No, why?" He answered.

I gulped and opened the door a little wider and gasped with my mouth open.

There stood Sky, sobbing on the ground. Did she follow me here?

She looked up at me and I her eyes were full of disgust and betrayal.

I gulped again.

"S-Sky...Lynn.." I spoke softly, bending down and taking her hand in mine.

"Don't touch me!" She screamed, yanking her hand away.

I felt disgusted with myself right then and there. How could I be so selfish? How could I have let my selfishness come in the way of my feelings and emotions? Why did I ever agree with this?

She stood up, wiping her tears and looked at Dani and El. It was clear that she felt betrayed. So so betrayed.

"You were supposed to be my friends! Why would you?!" She sobbed, the tears streaming down her face.

"And you!" She suddenly screamed, pointing to Harry and making him jump.

"You were the main one weren't you?! I knew I shouldn't have ever trusted you, why are you doing this to me? What have I ever done to you?" She sobbed even louder and a wave of guilt flashed through Harry's eyes.

She then looked at me straight in the eyes, making sure that our eyes locked with eachothers.

"I can't deny my love for you, I don't think I ever can. That's what hurts the most. Because no matter what you do to me I can't ever hate you, even though I try to." She said, storming out of Harry's house.

A guilt of wave then rushed through me. Why was I so stupid to do this?

I ran after her of course, I can't ever deny my feelings for her right now. Fuck my emotions.

"Sky--"

"Don't freaking Sky me!" She yelled, turning around to face me.

Her eyes were red and puffy, her hair was all messed up, her mascara was running down her face. Yet to me she was the most beautiful thing on Earth.

"Zayn please." She sobbed.

I hated seeing her cry, but what was even worse is that it was always me that made her cry.

"Please, leave me alone." She wiped her tears furiously with the the sleeves of her top.

I couldn't let her go now, not after everything we've been through. The laughs, the jokes and even the fights.

"I can drop out of it right now. Just please, please let me explain." I said softly, brushing my hands against her wet cheek.

She stepped back and shook her head, "no Zayn. It's not about whether you stop this crap or not, it's about what you've been doing to me behind my back all this time!" She said, raising her voice a little.

"Just leave me alone. And everything will be fine." She added.

This was my chance to tell her how I feel, to tell her what's been going on in my mind, to tell her my feelings towards her.

"I-I..." I sighed and bit my lip to stop myself from crying.

"Good bye Zayn." And with that, she turned around to walk away.

"But I love you..." I whispered quietly, but loud enough for Skylynn to stop in her tracks.

She turned around again.

"I love you too, that's why it hurts so much. That's why you need to stay away from me--"

"That's why we need to stay together. Together makes our love for one another even stronger. That's why we need to solve our shit and try and make it right because we both know that staying away from each other will hurt us even more. Because we love each other." I interrupted.

"Just listen to me explain. Please just listen, that's all I need." I finished.

I got into my car, Sky getting in the passenger seat. I started the car and drove.

SKYLYNN'S POV

He started driving and I assumed we were going to our house- his house, but we drove past it.

"Where are we going?" I asked, my voice croaky from crying.

He licked his lips and put his hair to one side.

"Somewhere private." He answered.

Somewhere private? What his house wasn't private enough?

After 10 minutes he parked his car and we got out.

We were in this field, it was so quiet and empty and the sun hit on it perfectly.

We sat down on a nearby bench and it was silent for a while until Zayn took a deep breath.

"Tell me everything in detail, right from the beginning." I said.

He nodded.

ZAYN'S POV

This is was it, I had to tell her everything. I took in another deep breath.

"It started with me coming over to your house. My Mum didn't really ask yours if I could stay for a few hours while she worked late, it was just a random lady Harry paid to pretend to be my Mum. So me coming over was for me to get close to you." I started.

I glanced at Sky and she was looking at me with her eyebrows furrowed and her arms crossed over her chest.

"Harry was paying me a lot of money to get close to you.. He wanted me to get close with you so I could find this journal of yours or something." I fiddled with my hands.

I glanced at her again and this time she was staring at me with her eyes wide open.

I gulped. I thought to myself again why I was so so stupid to do something like this.

"I only did it first for the money, I swear! After a while- after our kiss, I gave up. I was thinking from then to now if I should tell Harry that I wanted to quit. Wanna know why I wanted to quit? Because I fell in love with you." I claimed.

She blushed a little and looked down at her feet.

"Why did he want my journal so badly?" Sky asked. Looking up at me with her blue curious eyes.

"I honestly don't know myself, the only things he mentioned was that when you were together he caught you writing in it a few times and whenever he sees you writing in it you quickly shut the journal and hide it." I answered.

"Anything else?"

"Yes. I don't think you'll like this part. El started this whole spying thing with Harry. She and him were the main people, told me and Niall what to do. Then Dani joined along."

"Wait huh? Niall the blondie?" She asked.

"Oh right. Niall. He was in charge of making sure you and I stayed together and made sure nothing wrong goes on between us. You know, fights, arguments and all. But the good lad quit long ago, I should've done the same." I sighed, looking down.

I felt so relieved that everything was off my chest. No more hiding and no more secrets.

SKYLYNN'S POV

Woah, all this was happening behind my back and I didn't even know.

I felt annoyed at what Zayn was doing but he did consider stopping. I didn't know what to do. I needed more time to figure out what to do.

"Zayn. I'm just not ready, I need more time to think." I finally spoke.

He nodded and then took my hand, making sure that I was looking at him directly in his honey brown eyes which the sun was hitting on, making it sparkle.

"Just know that what ever you decide, I will always love you and no one can change that." I stared at his meaningful eyes, him doing that same.
