New Friend

Chapter 3

Zayn's POV

As I held Mel in my arms, i heard this trumpet sound. I realized it was her phone.

I looked at her a smiled, while whispering, "You're such a dork" then hugged her tighter.

I didn't want to wake her, so i picked up her iPhone 5s & read the message. I unlocked her phone, (oh, i knew her password, its been the same for 2 years, 0119.)

It was... Logan. Asking if she wanted to talk on the phone. It was 4:56am & that was our thing. She usually wakes up at about 5:30am to talk to me & eat cereal. I couldn't text him back pretending to be her, she would find out. So i tried to make him jealous.

(This is gonna be the texting between Zayn & Logan. Z=Zayn L=Logan.)

Z: Sorry, she's sleeping in MY arms right now Lover boy.😒

L: And this is...?

Z: Zucchini remember? Mel's bestfriend.

L: Ohh, the guy Melanie's been feeling sorry for, for her not having the same feelings towards him? & you're with her why?

She's been feeling bad for me? Nonono, he must just be saying that.

Z: She's sleeping over for a week while her parents are away on a cruise.

L: Lol okay, & how much was she paid for her to be "with" you.

Z: Actually, she asked to sleep over.

L: Yeah right okay. She doesn't love you kid. She feels bad for you. Stay away from her before something bad happens to you.

Z: -picture message of Melanie in Zayn's arm- She looks pretty happy to me, don't you think? ;)

L: ugh whatever. You better not get close to her. If she comes to school tomorrow talking about "sleepover", Mel won't be the only thing on your stomach, my fist would be too.

Z: Night

"Man this guy is bad at comebacks" i thought to myself.

"What guy?" Mel said sleepily. I realized it was 5:07am when she woke up.

"No one, its nothing. How was your dream?" I always asked her this. She was always excited to tell me her dream, but this time her face looked scared.

"I-It was the normal." She said hesitantly.

I wanted to know what was up, but before i could say anything, she whisper shouted,

"Let's go to Ash's house. I need to see her."

"Alright. I'll use my mom's car. Let's go" I answered.

For the first 46 seconds in the car, it was silent. I knew Melanie hated awkward silence, so she said something while looking straight. She looked spooked.

"M-My dream was... Logan found out we were hanging out after school, & took you away from me. I don't know what he did, i heard you scream my name, & as i was running towards you guys, he threatened to hurt you bad if i helped you. I cried & couldn't stop crying. Then i heard you say something about comebacks, & woke up." she said.

"whoa .." i whispered.

I tried to change the mood if sadness so i asked,

"Wanna hear my dream Mel?"

"Sure.." she said, still a little worried.

I had to make the whole thing up, since i didn't get much sleep.
