(Zayn's POV)
I picked Mia's notebook from my backpack and made my way outside when I heard footsteps behind me.
"Where are you going?" she said as I turned around to face her. Veronica narrowed her eyes as I thought of an excuse.
"Honey? Where are you going?" She repeated and put her hand on my shoulder as "comfort."
"Zayn? I won't harm you or something...where are you going?" She asked again, Oh, will you just shut up. I know, once I say her name, you are gonna be all, "she betrayed you," "she hit me." I thought.
"Umm. Honey, I'll be back soon. I have to return this notebook that I borrowed from a friend." I said in a very calming tone.
"What friend?" She asked.
"God, Ver, you ask too many questions! I said I'll be back! Don't you trust me! I'm not cheating on you! Please be secure about our relationship." I said in a bit of an angry tone.
"The way you just told me to be "secure" about this relationship and that you aren't cheating on me makes me think that the friend you just talked about is Mia. You are going to Mia's, aren't ya?" She said. God, she's a proper detective.
"Yes. I am."
"Why would you lie to me?" she asked.
"I didn't lie!" I said, protecting myself and in a very offended tone.
"Well, then why would you hide it?" she asked.
"Because of this! I know you are jealous of her and don't want me around her because you think she's a 'slut' but Veronica... she's my best friend! I've known her longer than I've known you!" I yelled.
"Honey, I completely understand your feelings, but you gotta understand mine too. If I want you to stay away from her, there must be some reason, right?" she said in a very calming tone.
"Can't you tell me the reason? Then I'll stay away from her...I promise."
"I don't think you should know, babe." She said and leaned in for a kiss. The kiss was deep and passionate. It was taking away all of my anger. I felt relieved and safe. Veronica broke the kiss but didn't lose the hold.
"I love you." The words slipped out of my mouth without me even realizing it. Veronica's eyes widened...as she stopped holding me.
"You what?" she asked.
"Nothing. I didn't say anything."
"You said you love me! Do you mean it?"
"I guess. It just slipped out of my mouth, so I meant it."
"Oh, my god. I can't believe it. You love me." She said. "This is like the best day ever." she continued, and I smiled.
"Now that you're happy, can I go? And give this notebook to Mia? She kinda needs it urgently. Also, just to let you know, she isn't at home and asked me to drop it on the porch." Veronica smiled, and I went to return the notebook.
When I reached her house, the door was locked, as expected. I kept the notebook outside her door and went back home.
(Mia's POV)
We returned from Starbucks, and I saw my notebook on the porch. Ah! He came. I picked up the notebook and opened the door. Harry followed me.
"Here. I got the notes." I said and gave the notebook to Harry.
"You can copy and read the notes, and if you face any problem, you can ask me. I'll order pizza and join you." It was almost dinner time, so I went to call the pizza place and order.
When I return, I see Harry holding a photo frame.
"Who is he?" I take the photo frame from his hands and look at the picture. It was mine and Zayn.
"I think I have seen this guy at school," Harry says as I take a seat on the couch beside him.
"He was my best friend," I say.
"Was?" Harry asked as I looked into his eyes.
"Yep. We kinda had a fall apart." I replied with sadness filled in my tone. All the feelings that I had dumped came rushing to the surface, and it took every fucking thing in me to not let them come out. Not in front of Harry. I don't want him to see my vulnerable side. Not yet.
Harry moves towards me and puts his hands around my shoulders, and tries to comfort me.
"What happened, Mia?" He asked in a soothing voice.
"I used to like him," I say and continue telling him the whole story.
"Mia...!" Harry says after listening to the whole story. He wraps his arms around me, giving me a hug.
"I want you to know that any of this stuff wasn't your fault! Sometimes it's okay for best friends to fall apart. When you grow. You meet a lot of people, and sometimes it gets overwhelming. If it's meant to be...it will be. You don't have to sit around and worry about it. You deserve to be happy too." He says, and I completely understand what he is tryna tell me but ever since Zayn, it has become hard for me to love anyone. I don't even think I'll ever be able to. I looked into Harry's eyes, and we continued looking into each other's eyes until our mouths were just a few centimeters apart.
His lips and mine finally met. It was like the best thing ever! I never knew kissing could be this damn good. We continue making, and his lips and mine move in sync.
"Mia, I think you should be seeing other people too," Harry said between the kiss.
As much as I loved the kiss, I hated to break it because I really had to teach Harry and Harry really had to study.
"I would love to continue that...but let's just complete our homework first," I said, and Harry nodded with a smile. I smiled back and opened my book.
