Chloe POV

I woke up with a huge headache in a room I didn’t freaking know; somehow I was wearing a t-shirt and my clothes from last night were in a chair beside the bed where I slept. The memories from last night started flooding back to my brain, I remember my promotion, Clover’s idea for going clubbing, dancing with Jake, the fight with Zayn and ended it up here in his guestroom because Clover wasn’t at home. I overreacted last night, but I mean it hurt me a lot hearing him saying that I didn’t care about him and I didn’t even know why Zayn was being such a douche since he told me everything was fine and then apologized. I sighed, got off the bed and went to the bathroom that was joint to the guestroom, I took a look at the mirror, I was looking awful so I just washed my face and took off my makeup, then I went back to the room and put my clothes from last night on, I put my hair in a messy ponytail using a head band I had in my wrist, and then I decided to tidy the room since it was me who caused this mess. I took Zayns’ shirt with me in order to give it to him and went downstairs where Zayn was talking on the phone. 

“Ok then, I’ll tell her. Bye, see you mate.” He said through the phone; I guess he was talking to Harry and that by “her” he meant me. 

“Good morning.” I said “Thank you for bringing me here and thank you for the shirt.” I said handing him the shirt, he smiled and nodded.

“Morning. No problem, I wouldn’t be feeling well if I knew you stayed up all night because you hadn’t where to go.” He said still smiling; gosh last night he was a big jerk and now he acts all nice…

“Yeah thanks again.”

“Anyways I called Harry, and he told me Clover left a spare key under your carpet so you could go home whenever you want, she left your things in your room and he also told me that he and Clover would be spending the day together.” He said changing the subject, I just nodded to what he said and stood up from the couch ready to go home. “Where are you going?” He asked.

“Home?” I said sounding more like a question

“And you think you’re going home by walking in the middle of the pouring rain?” He asked; I looked through the window and it was raining a lot again, I sighed and sat down again.

“Can you please drive me home?” I asked politely. I don’t know why but I’m feeling uncomfortable in his house and around him; maybe it’s because I like him and I don’t have the guts to tell him about it, and because the way he acted last night and now he’s trying to make everything sound ok…

“Sure Chloe. You want to go now?”

“Yes I do please.” I said while I stood up “And also what time is it?”

“It’s 1pm, and let’s go then.” He said walking, I just followed him.

I didn’t even bother talking during the car ride, he didn’t too. I guess I’m just too stubborn to admit towards him that I overreacted, and he’s too stubborn to admit that he made a mistake and acted like a douche, so since we were both stubborn none of us talk, and as you imagine the whole car ride was silent, actually pretty uncomfortable. In less than fifteen minutes we were standing outside my apartment, I just left the car and said thank you once again and went to my house, if he didn’t want to talk I wouldn’t do it either.

It’s been one week since I last spoke to Zayn. After I stayed at his place I didn’t talk to him anymore, he sent me some texts asking me how I was and that kind of stuff but I was too mad at him right now to even answer. He can’t just ignore me and pretend everything is ok again, when it’s not. I just worked and worked and worked during this whole week, Clover noticed that something wasn’t ok since every time she spoke about Zayn I would ignore it or just answer with “I don’t really care love”, deep inside I did care but I wished I didn’t. Today I was alone at home since Clover went out with Harry, they’re even stronger than they were before which is awesome at least one of us gets to be happy. I didn’t bother dressing up, I just put some sweatpants and some random shirt I found in my room, I didn’t put any makeup and just put my hair in a messy bun. I ordered some pizza since I wasn’t in mood to cook and went to the living room and turned the TV on. I was watching family guy until I heard the doorbell rang, I went to check it, it was just the pizza, I paid the man and he gone away; while I was putting the pizza on the kitchen the doorbell rang again and then again and again, gosh someone is rushed.
