Chapter Eight

I walked down the hall with him, lost in my thoughts (as always). It wasn't until he spoke again that I remembered what I was doing.

"I better get back or the boys will worry about me." He looked at me. It took me a second to process the words.

"Oh, yah. Ok." I said.

"Just shout for me when your back, okay?" I nodded and watched as he made his way down the hall. When he was out of sight, I kept walking. I didn't really know where I was going, I just needed some time to think.

I walked out of the building through the back, which was open for reasons unknown. The fans were still there, but now they were singing, "LET'S GO CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY 'TILL WE SEE THE SUN!!!!" I swear, it's like they never stop.

I walked down the street watching people passed by. I walked one block. Two. Three. Eventually, I stopped counting. I walked over to a park. I saw the kids playing, the birds chirping, and then I hear laughter.

It was a couple. They were sitting in a tree. The girl was laughing while the boy whispered in her ear. I stare at them for a while as a longing feeling settled within me. I am invisible to everyone except Zayn. No one can ever look at me like that. No one can ever hold me like that. No one can ever be like that with me.

"John, stop!" she said giggling. He laughed too, throwing his head back. She pushed him playfully. He did the same. They laughed more, enjoying each other's company.

Then, they stopped. They stared at eachother for a second. The guy tucked her hair behind her ear before leaning in. They closed their eyes-

I looked away. No point in making myself more miserable than I already am. I turned around, about to go back, when I realized- I don't know the way back. I cursed at myself under my breathe for not paying attention.

I looked around. Every street looked the same. Pannicked, I ran down the street to my left. Then I went right. Then right again. Finally, I give up, sitting down on the nearest park bench. Tears slid down my cheeks. I heard someone sit down next to me.

"Brooke, it's been hours. I've been looking for you everywhere." said a firmiliar voice. I look up and see the same brown eyes. I wipe my tears.

"I got lost. I thought I'd never see you again." I said through shaky breaths. He nodded understandingly.

"Come on, let's get you home."

When we got back, it was already 3. The boys were practicing in the living room.

"It's you... they add up to. I'm in love with you... and all these little things."

"ZAYN!!!" Harry shouted, running over to him. I laughed, not expecting him to be so entergetic. Just a few hours ago, he was still half-asleep. The rest of the boys ran over and hugged him, Falling on top of him in the progress.

"Guys, calm down. I was only gone for and hour." Oh god, how long was I gone then.

The boys got off and sat on the couch. Zayn walked into the kitchen and came back with a coke. By then, the boys were arguing about what to watch.

"BUT I WANT TO WATCH HARRY POTTER!" Liam said, his arms crossed.

"NO,  I WANT TO WATCH THE ANIMAL MOVIE!" Harry said, pointing at the one he was talking about. Zayn just shook his head.

"Well, I still need to practice. I'll be in my room." he said, grabbing his guitar.

"Okay, but if you chang your mind, just tell us!" Louis called back at Zayn over the noise of the other boys. Zayn smiled as he walked into his room. I followed him and sat next to him on the bed after he closed the door. Then, he started playing his guitar again.
