You're a Mystery // zm

Chapter 9

Piper's POV

I've got a lot going on at the moment, everything jumbled in my brain. I didnt know where I stood, what I wanted, what I needed. Did I want or need Harry? Did I want or need Zayn? Or, did I need to take a break, from it all. Maybe I should go back to America. Maybe I shouldnt, the only people I miss from back home is my dad and Jessica. No one else, they all werent the real people I cared about. If I went home I'd be face to face with him everyday, I couldnt do that. Not after the lies, the secrets, the words said. But here, I didnt feel normal, i didnt feel right. Harry was great, more then great, he treated me so right but it was all off, not what I wanted.

I sat at the window seat in my room with my head on the window watching the sunset. I dont really want to risk going on the roof anymore, not after I slapped Zayn. I pulled my phone out of my back pocket and dialed my dad's number. Straight to voice mail. I didnt know if I should leave a message but my answer came when the beep went.

"Hey dad, it's just me. Everythings great out here, different but great. I just wanted to talk, I miss you. Love you, bye." I hung the phone up and starred down at the phone screen. I clicked the contacts button and scrolled to Jessica's name before hitting call.

"Hello?" A tired voice asked making me sit up. I looked at the clock, shit it was 2am.

"Oh thank god." I said sighing hearing shuffling on the other end.

"Piper!?" She asked loudly making me smile.

"Hey." I said leaning on the wall starring out the window.

"How are you!? How's London? Why the fuck havent you called me?" She asked in one breath making me laugh.

"I know I'm shit, I'm sorry. I've had alot on my mind." I said

"Like what? Spill!" She said loudly making me laugh.

"God I miss you so much." I said making her "Awe".

"Dont go depressing on me, tell me what's going on girl." She said making me smile.

"I've met a guy." I said making her gasp. "Well I guess there's two." I said making her gasp louder.

"Tell Oh my god tell, I need drama or gossip, there's nothing here." She said making me smile.

"Well they're best friends, and their names are Harry Styles and Zayn Malik." I said making her gasp even louder, if it was possible.

"PIPER!" She yelled.

"Shh you'll wake your parents up." I said giggling.

"oh my god are you all screwing around!?" She asked.

"Ew shut up." I said laughing.

I filled Jessica in on it all, how I was interested in Zayn but Harry came along. I went through the story with both of them swinging back and forward.

"I've never heard you this confused." She said sighing.

"I know. I dont know what to do Jess." I said.

"I guess you just have to do what your heart tells you." Sh e said making me sigh now.

"I cant decide. I dont know what it's this hard. Harry's perfect; he's sweet, he's caring, he listens to me, he does things for me, he tells me everything, we have an open friendship. but when it's with Zayn he doesnt tell me anything personal, he's a closed book that I can not open. But then we joke around and whenever he opens up even in the slightest, it's like I see hope,  that I see it, I can see it in those moments Jess." I said hearing a long pause.

"I cant tell you what to do, and I know I'm not there to witness it all. But it just comes down to who's name pops in your head first." Zayn. No Harry.
