They Don't Know About Us

Chapter 9 Harry /

I watched from afar as both of them were having a slow dance. They stared at each other's eyes in amusement and held each other carefully, as if they don't want leave each other's side. The moments the song finished, I saw their little staring contest. I felt my stomach churn as I watched them carefully from the balcony. Both of them, alone, in one room. They looked so close with each other, I couldn't take my eyes off of them even if I wanted to.

Does Zayn like Gwen? I thought to myself. Do I even like her? If I don't even like her, then why do I care about what Zayn and Gwen did?

I shook my head and just go with it. "Why do you even care, Harry?" I asked myself and shook my head in a disapproving way.

"Why? What should you care, Harry?" A familiar femanine voice startled me. I turned around and saw Jasmine and Liam behind me, Liam's arm around Jasmine's waist. I stared at them for a moment, not wanting to say an answer. Jasmine rolled her eyes and crossed her arms, one of her eyebrows raising up in a mischievous way. "Again, what should you care, Harry?" Jasmine asked again.

"Is there something wrong, mate?" Liam added, a concerned look on his face.

"I don't care about Gwen." I protested, crossing my arms. Liam smiled as Jasmine shook her head and rolled her eyes.

"I didn't say anything about Gwen, Harry." She said simply. I blinked my eyes twice and felt heat coming up my cheeks. I could hear both of them chuckling at my embarrassment. Realizing what I said, I scratched the back of my neck. I saw Jasmine look past me, definitely seeing Gwen and Zayn together. "Mmm. I see." Jasmine said as if she understood everything. "Gwen is a very socialized person but she prefers to be alone with some people. Definitely Zayn could fit her." Jasmine smiled.

"Huh?" I said in confusion.

Jasmine smiled as both Liam and Jasmine sat down in one of the available chairs. Jasmine patted the other chair, gesturing me to come sit with them. I sighed, having nowhere to go, and sat down next to them. You can never say no to Jasmine when we're talking serious business. I think it's the way she convinces people with her eyes, or maybe something else that intrigues us all. Either way, it was very creepy.

"What's wrong?" She asked, giving me a concerned look.

I sighed again and leaned forward to rest my elbows on my knees. "I don't know. I just don't know how Zayn could get close to Gwen in a short period of time." I said truthfully.

"Well, in all fairness, Gwen is mostly a social person so she talks to so many people, even when we were younger. Her phone would be buzzing and buzzing because she talks to many people." Jasmine said in a matter-of-factly way. "That's what she calls 'polite'." Jasmine said, using air quotation marks. "I felt so scared one time because she talks to so many people and they are dirty minded freaks. I even gave her a lecture yet she still likes talking to people." Jasmine said, putting her hands on her lap. Liam chuckled at Jasmine's rambling as Jasmine's eyes went wide, knowing what she just said. Liam gave her a short peck on the cheek as Jasmine's cheek turned to a crimson color.

My eyes went wide, processing Jasmine's words in my mind. I knew Gwen was good at socializing with people, since I saw her having a conversation with everybody people tonight, but I didn't even know that she also talks to so many dirty people. Shaking my head to removes the thoughts aside, I looked at Jasmine again.

"Its just that, Zayn already has a girlfriend. What if Zayn starts to fall in love with her? What will the fans think?" I asked. I saw Jasmine bite her lower lip, a habit she does when she gets nervous. Realizing the words I just said, my eyes went wide and gave Jasmine a concerned look. "I didn't mean that! I mean," I tried looking around, trying to replace the words I just said.

"It's okay, Harry." She answered with a sad smile, holding my hand. For once, I felt guilty. I knew Jasmine still wasn't over it. She still feels guilty because she thinks that she stole Liam from his girlfriend. I saw guiltiness in Jasmine's eyes as she looked at me. Regretting the words I said, I squeezed Jasmine's hand to comfort her, something I learned she wants somebody to do when she's nervous.

"Hey," Liam made Jasmine face him, letting go of my hand. Liam looked at her with a concerned face. Liam gave Jasmine a tight squeeze on the hand. I saw Jasmine give him a small smile as she turned her gaze towards me. Liam still looked at me with a confused expression, dumbfounded of Jasmine's and I's silent conversation.

"You like her, don't you?" Jasmine smiled at me. I blinked twice and look at Jasmine with a confused face.

"You always look at her, if you haven't noticed." Liam said, putting his hand on my shoulder. "Are you jealous?" He asked, wiggling his eyebrows.

"I'm not jealous and I don't like her." I said, removing Liam's hand from my shoulder. Annoyed by their inferences, I stood up and act like a professional person. "So excuse me and I'll look for a drink." I said, walking away. I saw Jasmine and Liam's amused expressions. My face grimaced to the thought of being jealous of Zayn and Gwen. I don't like her! I thought to myself. I'm just worried about Zayn because he has a girlfriend.

A waiter came by as I took one can of Pepsi from the tray he held. "Hey, mate!" Louis shouted through the noise, putting a shoulder around me. "How are ya?" His alcoholic smell stinging my nose.

"Louis, are you drunk?" I asked, my eyebrows furrowing.

"No!" Louis laughed, clutching his stomach. "I'm just a little tipsy!" Louis explained, pointing his finger up and bopped my nose.

My brows furrowed and a thought passed through my mind. "Wait, where's Eleanor?" I asked, looking at Louis for an explanation.

Louis put his two fingers on his chin, brushing his invisible beard. His suddenly lift his finger up as if he has a light bulb on his head. "Oh! She's somewhere over the rainbow!" Louis laughed again, waving his hands.

"Oh hey look!" Louis pointed at a waiter with a tray of beer. "You want some?" Louis asked. I shook my head and held my hand up, excusing myself from the bear. Louis grimaced and shrugged his shoulders. "Your loss." Louis left, walking over to the waiter with the tray of beer.

I just noticed that Louis is very weird when he's drunk. I took another sip of my Pepsi and walked over to a group of girls, hoping that I could remove my thoughts about Gwen and Zayn.
