Something Beautiful

Chapter Fourteen

ZAYNS POV

America was a lot better then I thought it would be. Everything was so different and unique. I absolutely loved the way everybody talked, it was just so entertaining. I've had a lot of fun here, spending time with my family. My sister ended up living and she was on bed rest for a few months, so technically I could fly back whenever I wanted, but there was something stopping me. I was such a fool for kissing her that day. I should have waited until she was ready, but I didn't know how long I would be here. She hasn't talked to me since, ive tried calling her and Juliet multiple time but she wouldn't say anything. I know sooner or later I'd have to come back and face the truth. But not today. Today, I was going out with an old friend from my childhood, since I've lived here off and on. We were just going out to lunch and he was going to teach me how to watch American football, which exited me. I got dressed and kissed my mum goodbye. I grabbed the keys to her car and took off. When I pulled up to the place, it looked like an old burger joint. I was starving and it smelled like heaven. I saw he was waiting outside for me.

" Harry!" I called.

"Hey Zayn!" He replied. It was good to here a familiar British accent. Harry had been my best friend for a long time. He lived in Britain with me till I was thirteen then moved here. Me, him, and Mikayla went to school together, and we got along just fine. I was exited to catch up since I only saw him a couple times a year. We sat down at a table and ordered.

"So how's Mikayla been?" He asked

"Great. Have you guys talked latley?" I asked in response.

"Yeah over text and stuff. Is she still single?" He asked. I laughed, this was classic Harry.

"Yeh don't worry." I laughed.

He smiled and we finished our meal talking about life. I told him about Delani and how it was kinda awkward between us. I took out a picture that I always kept in my pocket of her. He said I had a good one. And I did. She was my only one. We went back to his place after and watched the game. It was kinda complicating at first but once I got out it o felt like a man. I was out pretty late with him, I savored times like this. Before I left, he gave me a small package.

"Give this to Mikayla when you go back." He asked.

"Sure" I smirked. We laughed

"You got her Haz. Trust me she misses you." I told him. I could tell it made his night hearing that.

I drove home in the dark, still confused about the American roads, but I made it back safely. When I got in I started to tiptoe to my room when I heard my sister call me from her bed. I went over to her room. And sat on the edge of her bed.

"How you doing?" I asked

"Fine, but your phone was ringing a lot yesterday, I didn't catch you this morning before you left." She pointed to her nightstand where it lay. I let her use my phone to go on instagram and call people if she needed. She lost her phone on the plane. I thanked her and took it back to my room. I opened my recent and scrolled down the list

Wait... I scrolled back up and re read it again. She called. I was going to throw up, o should of had the phone with me!! There was a message too. I listened to it. The words she spoke made me dizzy. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. When it ended I realized I had screwed up again. I had to call her back, but it was almost one in the morning here. But I know I wouldn't be able to sleep until I worked things out. I decided to call Juliet first.

"Hello?" She answered

"Juliet is Delani up?" I asked in a rush.

"Yeh she's right here" she replied

"Listen Juliet I know she may not want to talk to me. I know I screwed up yesterday, but I need to work things out.. Can you ask if she's mad at me?" I asked not wanting to hear the answer.

"I'm not" said the voice I wanted to hear most. Juliet had given her the phone before I explained.

"Delani. I don't know how you feel about me. But..." I started but couldn't finish

"Zayn I miss you. Come back." She said.

"I want to talk this out in person" she continued.

"Whatever you aay " I smiled. We hung up and I packed my stuff. I left a note for my family and got on the first flight I could find back to Britain.
