I jumped around and sang along to Meghan Trainor songs as I cleaned Jill's house from top to bottom. "I miss that happy friend that I had. You've been acting so sad." I sighed as I thought of the previous night. Zayn and Jill were having such a great time, I don't understand how he could do something like that to her. "Though his kiss is soft and sweet, and he swept you off your feet, he's no good for you, " Jill had been there for me through everything, even bad boyfriends, or, almost boyfriends.

"Well, don't be nervous, I'm so into you. Yes, I am babe. Is this something? Am I just a fool?" I thought of the red in his cheeks when I would say something and how cute I found it, but then I remembered his girlfriend, and how stunning she was. "What if I, I wanna kiss you tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow? "
