The Last Ball

The Yule Ball (Part Five)

I headed back down to the Hall.

Only a few people were left- including Zayn Malik.

He walked up to me.

"McKenna Logans, may I have the privilege of dancing with you?"

"You may."

 We danced together.

I grew up with him; I knew he was bad, but I think he got worse!

"Zayn, ya know after all these years, I'd thought you'd get better at dancing!" I laughed.

"You didn't get much better either!"

"Oh shut up," I said smiling.

We danced and danced and danced, long with laughing and catching up with everything thats happened through the years.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everyone had left- even the teachers.

"Zayn."

"McKenna, I need to tell you something."

I was silent.  If he likes me I don't know what I'll say.  

*In McKenna's mind*

Harry cheated on my. . . 

What if Zayn likes me. . . 

Will I start a relationship this quick after a break-up. . .

Do I even like Zayn. . . 

Well I guess I do. . . 

Or do I just because my parents said that they wanted me to marry him. . .

that was so many years ago. . . 

*Flashback*

"McKenna, Zayn's here!" my mother called from downstairs.

"I'm coming!"

I ran down the stair case to see him.

"Hi Zayn!"

"Hey Mc!  Want to go to to the creek?"

"Why not?  Mom, I'll be back by dinner!"

"Okay, sweetie.  Have fun!"

We made our way down to the creek.  About halfway down, I slipped.

"McKenna, are you alright?"

"Yeah, I think so," looking at my bloody leg.

"No, you're not," he said picking me up.

He was strong.  He brought me back up to my house.

"McKenna, baby, are you okay?" my mother exclaimed.

"I'm alright, can I go to sleep?"

"No, we need to take you to a hospital!"

Zayn stayed with me the entire time.  Never left.  He was forced to leave eventually.

When I returned home:

"McKenna, you need to marry a man like him.  One who's always there for you, cares for you, your best friend."

"Ew!  Dad, I'm not going to marry Zayn!  We're just friends!"

*End of Flashback*

What if I do marry him. . . after what I said. . . 

I said nothing would ever change in between us. . . 

But now. . . 

"McKenna, I love you."

"Zayn!"

"Is that I love you too or I'm sorry I don't like you?"

I kissed him.

"I'll talk that as the first choice!"

We danced all night long.

"McKenna, I think we should go back to the commonroom."

"Maybe," I said looking at the clock.  It was 3:30 am.

"I can't believe I danced all that time."

"I know, right!"

We headed to the commonroom and had some hot chocolate.

"Good night Zayn."

"Good night McKenna."

A/N: I am so happy I finally got to this!  I've known this was going to happen for like three months!   I am almost finished with this!  I'm sad but happy, because this is my first book on wattpad.  Anyways, read, comment, fan, and vote!
