"Push harder." I said while groaning in frustration.

"It won't fit Elle!" Zayn says annoyed.

Yes, Zayn.

"Just push harder for christ sakes!" I say, "It's going to fit."

"We've been at this for 15 minutes Elena, it won't fit. This new desk you bought won't fit through the fucking door. Your door gate is jammed." He groans while folding his arms against his chest.

I take my flip flop off and start whacking him with it as he falls to the floor covering his face and head.

"Ow you bitch! What is this for?" He shouts as he screams in pain.

"You sound like a fucking girl." I say while continuing to whack him with the flip flop.

So I've recently come back from Sophia's its been basically a month. Now I've realized I need a new desk because the one I has now has gotten a bit old.

"Will you quit it?"Zayn Shouts as he tries to fight back. He manages to take his shoe off.

"You wanna play? We can play."He says as he's holding his shoe up and getting up to chase after me.

Zayn and I walk back to my house out of breathe, we were running for a while around the neighborhood and ended up in the park. "Why did we do what we just did again?" Zayn questions as he pants i between sentences.

"Not sure, but it was tiring." I say as he immediately agrees with me. Zayn and I reach my house as I look at Harrys house, we haven't spoken since I've fully regained my memory. I look at his bedroom window and see him. He's looking at me, as realizes I've caught him he quickly looks away and stands back from the window frame.

It's time this cold shoulder stops.

Today I will apologize to him.

That's if I grow the guts to tell him.

"Hey! What gives? Penny's dead! I've only been gone for a month!"I shout as my mom pops up around the corner from the stairs. From the corner of my eye I see her slowly going back behind the wall to look as if she didn't just see me see my gold fish dead.

"Stop right there. I've already seen you." I say as she stops herself from going behind the wall. She slowly walks up to me as her hands are behind her back. "What happened to Penny? Why is she dead? Why is she upside down? Who killed her?" Auestion after question and she finally stops me.

"Yeah haha...about that..." She starts as I squint my eyes at her.

"Harry accidentally killed your goldfish. Not on purpose! Well it was me and Harry. I fed him and then a few minutes later Harry came over and fed him. I thought he was here to talk or something but he came here to feed your fish, and well when I came back downstairs from my bedroom to make him some tea i saw him feeding your fish. About a few minutes later he went to fishie heaven." She explains, this is death.

This is murder.

I burst out laughing as my mother furrows her eyebrows in confusion. "Harry and I killed your goldfish, why in the world are you laughing?" She asks as I stop laughing momentarily to catch my breath.

"I don't know why I'm laughing. I just am" I say as I start catching my breath and calming myself down.

There was silence for a moment, until i broke it "I'm gonna talk to Harry today." I blurt out as she pays her entire attention towards me. "You are? You're ready to talk to him?" She asks as I hesitate to nod.
