CHAPTER 11

Zayn's Pov:

As I held harry, I felt a slight tug in my chest as if it was burning. There's also this unknown feeling that I didn't want to let him go. I let him cry on me until I felt his body became heavy. He had fallen asleep.

I gently carried him bridal style to the room which he was currently occupying. It was also the same room that my sister occupies every time she visited. My friends on the other hands were not aware of this unit. Whenever it was my turn to party, we used the penthouse since it was bigger and sound proof. We could go as loud as we can without disturbing the other tenants.

As I settled Harry in the bed, I can't help but brushed the loose hair from his face. He is beyond gorgeous and way out of my reach. Ever since I first laid my eyes on him, I knew then that he owned my heart. I'm just too coward to admit. It was also the reason that I can't hold any relationships. I can't help think about him when I'm with them.

He had rejected me even before I tried. The first time I approached him. I remember, I felt this thick walls that surrounded him. Ice Prince had been his nick name few months upon entering school via academic scholarship. He has been a member of the student council since freshman and now is the president. Harry kept his cold image up to the end, never showing much emotions or weakness.

Niall is  his only constant companion. I never understand how he warmed up to him. Maybe he succeeded by using his charm and his smile that could pass as a toothpaste model. Despite his charming and gentle persona , he was a ruthless jerk. I knew because I have witnessed him fucked different girls. He thought he was smart for not screwing the girls at school but we came from the same circle so I knew he screws new girl or sometimes girls at every party that we attended.

As I walked back to the living room to check on Gem, my phone rang. It was Jane my bestfriend.
"Sup bestie?" I said as I answered the phone.

"Where the hell have you been? We have been calling you last night! You missed the party at Tony's."

"Sorry, something came up and I got so exahusted that I fell asleep." I lied. I have no intention in sharing Haz's story with them. It was not my story to tell. Besides, I just got him to warm up to me. The last thing I wanted to do was break his trust.

"In short, you got laid. We understand. Just next time text or call us. See you monday!"

Got laid? If they only knew. I laughed at the thought. Even my own friends really thinks that I'm screwing around. It's my fault anyways. After she hang up, I checked my phone and saw several missed calls and SMS. My phone was in silent so I was not able to notice their message last night.

"Zee! Look! I won!" Gem said as she showed me the result of her game. I looked at her and saw that she was wearing a big shirt, it was probably owned by Haz. I took a little pity for the little girl, she deserved better. I had no idea that Haz lived such a hard life. While the majority of the students in the school spends money like crazy, there were students like Haz that needed to work hard for every penny that spent. It made me feel guilty. I had never done any chores my whole life. It made me wonder how just how can I contribute to society without using my parent's money.

"Are you enjoying yourself?" I asked and the little girl nodded. "What do you think about ice cream?"

"Ice cream?" The little girl asked like it was foreign to her. Was they really that poor that the little girl haven't had an ice cream in her life? "What's that?"

"You never had an ice cream?" She shook her head no. "How about chocolate?" Again she shook her head no. I'm really a big fan of ice cream. I ate all. So, I won't be expecting it to be in my freezer. Then came an idea. "How about you and me go outside for an ice cream?"
