My eyes widen as I look at Perrie.

What’s she doing here?

As I look at Zayn who looks just as confused as I am, I decide to break the silence. “Hey, Perrie.”

Yeah, that’s how you do it, dumbass.

She smiles at me. “Hey Aly.”

Things go silent again after that, creating an awkward kind of tension.

“I’m…I’m just going to get some stuff and I’ll leave you two to talk.” I speak up.

“No.” Perrie replies quickly. “I was just getting some of my stuff that I forgot I had here. I was just leaving when I heard the door open.”

I nod, not knowing what to say.

“Um…so…I hope you guys got over the shy phase and finally told each other how you feel?” She asks, shocking me.

How am I supposed to answer that?

Zayn clears his throat. “Um…yeah. It was just…in the spur of the moment.”

She nodded. “I’m happy for the both of you. It was about time.”

“So…how’s the album going?” I ask her.

“You do know this doesn’t have to be awkward right? You do know that we’re still friends…aren’t we?”

“Of course we are.” I say, thankful she still sees me as a friend. “I just…I thought you didn’t…”

“Hey, I did kind of tell you to tell him your feelings. And besides, I’ve missed you.”

I smile, walking over to her and hugging her. “I missed you too. Thank you Perrie. Thank you for being the amazing person you are. You really are one of a kind, Pez.”

“You’re no less, Aly.” She replies, hugging me back.

I smile at her when we pull away. “I’m…I’m going to be in the car. You two need to talk. It was nice seeing you again, Perrie.” I hug her once more before making my way out, giving them their privacy.

***

It wasn’t long before I saw Perrie walking out of the house with a somewhat smile on her face. She waved at me before she got into the passenger seat of her car and that was when I noticed that a guy was with her.

And as fucked up as this situation is, I couldn’t help but feel happy for her. At least now she can be with the person she loves without having to hide…same goes for Zayn and I.

“So…” I start as Zayn gets into the car. “Is everything okay?”

He looked at me and smiled. “Everything’s good. We were both to blame because we just…fell out of love with each other. But we’re good now. We’re friends.”

I smiled as he grabbed my hand. “I’m glad.”

The drive to the new house was surprisingly short. As Zayn got onto the driveway of the house, my heart started beating faster as my eyes widened. If I thought it was beautiful on the pictures, it’s even better up front.

“Welcome home, babe.”

I looked over at Zayn and smiled. “Welcome home.”

“So…I kind of have this surprise for you.” He says as we walk to the door.
