Things Happen For a Reason (Zayn Malik\Harry Styles)

I Didn't Do It. He Did!

Today was our first practice with One Direction. I was trying to not pay attention to Harry because he was flirting with me. ALOT. Alana has noticed it too, and she would interrogate me about moving on too fast and that I wasn't paying attention to my feelings. I knew she was right about taking a liking to Harry, but he is a real charmer and he makes me weak in the knees.

"So, Natalie, are you still thinking of Styles over there?" Alana asked, pointing to where Harry was standing. I felt my cheeks burn and looked down.

Alana gasped, "Natalie! I told you, you are not thinking about this! Don't fall for him this quick. You need to settle down and think about Zayn too! He is a big part you know!"

She was right, but I already told Zayn how I felt. He has Perrie now, and maybe I can have Harry and our old realationship could be forgotten. But from Alana's view of this whole thing, is wrong. What she is basically saying is that I need to think about Zayn more and talk to him, but I made my choice and I'm not going back to him. When I want to talk to him, I will. Right now is just not the time.

"Alana, I know what I'm doing. I took a liking to Harry and if Zayn doesn't like it, then he should get over it, I'm done trying to be nice to him. He needs to learn to get over me and stay with that girl. If he didn't go back to her, then that would show me he still loves me, and by the looks of it, I really doubt he does. Now can we go back to practicing?" I knew I sounded a bit harsh, but it was true and she needed to hear it.

"But-" I cut her off before she could say anything. "Butts are for sitting." She huffed under her breath and began dancing again.

We were doing a weird dance step for their song, Heart Attack. During the whole song, we have to put our hands on our heart, jump, and then fall to the ground like your having a heart attack. Then, we have to run around the stage jumping around then falling. It may seem easy, but it is very tiring.

"You seem very tired." Someone chuckled from behind me. I turned around to see Harry standing there with a cute smirk. I smiled and nodded. "Yeah, people may think that it's easy, but it's super hard. I don't even know why we do this." He grabbed my hand and rubbed it reassuringly.

"Hey, if you didn't know how to dance, you would have never met a guy like me." Harry winked at me, making me weak at the knees again. "You know me like a book." I flirted back. He gave a little smirk, and walked back to the other boys. I saw Zayn give Harry a death glare, and looked back to me. He gave me a weak smile, but I turned away from him.

As I was walking to Alana, I felt a hand touch my shoulder and. I stopped in my tracks and turned around slowly. Of course, I was met by Zayn.

"What the hell do you want?" I snapped at him, trying not to look at him. He sighed and lifted up my chin. "Natalie, I have been blaming you for our break up for years now. I knew it was wrong and I'm sorry. When we broke up, I lied to you. I'm not done trying, I really do miss you and-"

"Zayn, no, stop doing this to yourself. I already told you, I cant go back with you. Zayn, you have a girlfriend now. I'm sure she adores you and you should adore her! I don't personally like her, but you need to stop thinking about me, and start thinking about Perrie!" I scolded him once again. He didn't look as pained as before, but what I said was true. He needs to get over me; he should have done that two years ago!

"Natalie, I'm in love with you and I always have been. I just realized this, and I should have realized it sooner." Zayn pleaded, grabbing my hand in the process. For a second I believed him, but I shook my head and took my hand away. "Zayn-" He quickly cut me off by pulling me into a rough kiss. I didn't feel the sparks I did with him before, but I'm sure he did.

I tried pulling away, but he only grabbed me tighter. I didn't kiss him back, if I did he would think that I still had feelings for him. He finally pulled away from the kiss smiling; my lips didn't move an inch.

"So this is what you do? Lead people on then go kiss someone else." A familiar voice said behind us. I turned around quickly and saw Harry standing there, looking somewhat pissed off.

"Harry, I didn't kiss him! He kissed me! I wouldn't do that, I really do like you!" I confessed my feelings towards him, but he didn't take it. "That's what they all say. I knew what Perrie told me was true, you just lead people on." Harry hissed back at me turning around in the process.

So this whole thing is Perrie's fault. She made Harry come over here to us and catch us kissing. I bet she saw it happening and called Harry over to see. Zayn didn't even see how mean she was. He was just as oblivious as Harry.

I quickly ran out of the dance room and walked into the boy's dressing room to see Perrie on her phone. "You bitch! You ruined everything with Harry!" I yelled pulling her from the chair. She just chuckled and smirked. "Ooh, I'm so scared, what is little Natalie going to do?" she asked sarcastically, I pulled my hand from beside me and slapped her straight in the face.

"That's what little Natalie is going to do. Guess what, I actually learned how to fight. So you better watch your back sweetie. Karma is a bitch." I saw her face go pale and she stepped backwards.

"You never loved Zayn did you? You just wanted me to suffer?" She didn't say anything, she just looked down. "Well guess what, I don't suffer no more. You can have him, I don't need him. I actually like Harry. You saw what was happening with me and Zayn, so you called over Harry! You did, didn't you?!" Again she didn't say anything, she continued to look down.

"DID YOU?!!" I screamed at her walking closer. "Yes! Okay I did!" Perrie's voice cracked while saying this. I just smirked and walked out the door.

"You should be a lawyer!" Harry exclaimed before crashing his lips to mine.
