Chapter 3. Judy.

Track for the chapter-
Boulevard of Broken Dreams (Green Day)

Katie's POV.

"Wait I'll go get coffee for us. You've had your breakfast?", Zayn asked me, as he stood up.

"Uhm, actually not. But just coffee for now. Once I talk to Mom, and see she's fine, I'll eat.", I smiled.

Zayn stared at me, and a smile went up his face.

"What?", I asked.

"I'll go get something.", he said, as he turned around to leave the corridoor.

"Zayn.", I called out to him, but he had already dissapeared from my sight.

I let out a sigh, and relaxed onto the bench.

Please wake up soon Mom.

I shut closed my eyes, and took deep breaths. I really need them right now.

For the first time, a guy asked me if I had had my breakfast.

For the first time, someone actually showed he cared, apart from my family of course.

But then again, he isn't a guy I met at the bar. He doesn't know who I am.

He doesn't know I don't deserve this concern.

He doesn't know I am a piece of utter shit.

..

"Here.", I heard Zayn's  soft voice from the side.

I opened my eyes, and blinked a few times.

Zayn was sitting next to me, with a tray in his hand.

I looked down to the tray, and I was actually surprised.

There were two cups of coffee, and a burger, that too a really huge one.

"Zayn I told you I won't eat.", I continued looking down to the food.

"Eat.", Zayn's velvety voice came from the side, as his hand grabbed the burger, and lifted it up to my mouth.

I shifted my gaze up to him and gave him the I-really-don't-want-to-eat look.

Without saying a word, Zayn  lightly pressed the burger to my mouth, making me shift back.

I opened my mouth to take a bite, and took the burger from his hand.

"I'm sorry I couldn't find anything better than this.", Zayn gave me an apologetic smile.

But the burger tasted good, well it was atleast eatable.

"It's good, don't worry.", I smiled.

Zayn nodded to me, and took a sip of his own coffee.

As I took small, slow bites, I actually realised it's been so long since I last ate.

I didn't have dinner last night, not that I daily have it, and skipping breakfast is way too common.

As I finished up my burger and my coffee, Zayn had already finished his, and was relaxing on the bench, busy on his phone.

"Zayn you can go back to the office, it's already been over an hour. I don't want you to be troubled anymore.", I said to him.

"First, I'm not getting troubled, and second I really don't want to go there.", Zayn winked.

"Why?", I scrunched my eyebrows, earning a chuckle from him.

"Because, my boss is very irritating. I don't want to go back and help him in the project."
