Lifesaver (A Zarry fanfic)

10. Best and Worst

Jessie's POV

"One scoop of cotton candy, another vanilla, another mint and the last one coffee." The lady nodded as Zayn took our order. "Size large in a big cup, like a bowl."

"You must be hungry." I giggled, his arm curling around my waist.

"No, we're going to share. These are just my favorite flavors that I think you'll like. I know I love them." He turned to the lady. "Top it with gummy bears please." I smiled towards the ground as she handed Zayn the bowl. He paid and guided me to a small booth in the corner. "Spoon for you."

"Thanks." I gladly took the utensil and looked at the various colors of the ice cream. "Which scoop do I try first?"

"Bubblegum." He scooped up some of the pink and proudly ate it. I tried as well and moaned at how good it tastes. "Jessie, that noise was unnecassary."

"Sorry." I slumped, trying the rest of the flavors and jumping around in my seat. "I love ice cream!

"I figured you would." Zayn smiled at me. "So you like your hair cut."

"I like it a lot. But I'm happier that now, I can put a smile on a little girl's face."

"Or girls, you had a lot of hair."

"I like that it doesn't touch my bum anymore, that was so annoying." Zayn chuckled at my comment.

"I liked it! But now I can actually put my arms around you without pulling on your hair." He smirked, taking another scoop.

"Stop flirting with me." I giggled, eating away at the different flavors.

"I'll try not to." I nodded at him and continued to eat our ice cream together. A girl bumped into me, making me drop my spoon on the floor. But I recognised her, she was on of those cheerleaders. I just held my own hands under the table and looked away from her.

"Fancy seeing you here, Zayn."

"I can't really say the same to you Missy. I'm on a date." I smiled a bit, feeling his hand slip into mine under the table.

"With her? That?"

"She's not a thing, she's a girl." Zayn angrily stated.

"I see it just got their massive split ends trimmed." She twisted my hair in her fingers.

"Missy, you need to leave us alone and especially her! She's done nothing to you yet you insist on bullying her. Just fuck off, will ya?"

"That's not what you were saying when-"

"Don't say it Mi-"

"We did it in the backseat of your car." My heart felt as if it dropped, my bottom lip quivering.

"Jessie don't believe her." Zayn pleaded.

"Oh nonsense, who do you think gave him these hickies babe? Certainly not you." Missy smirked at me as she ran her fingers over Zayn's neck. I snatched my hand from his and held onto the table as I stood up.

"I have to go.." I choked out.

"No, Jessie please!" He tried grabbing my hand as I walked past him, only pulling away.

"Let her go hun. She isn't worth your time anyways." I barged out the store in tears, picking up my pace as I ran. All I could think about was the fact that Missy did that to him. That girl who just had to torment me. What had I done to her to make her so cruel towards me? I wouldn't have cared which girl Zayn was with last night only if it wasn't her. But it was. I felt so stupid to actually think he cared. Drinking his alcohol and having drunken sex with a girl he knows I feel intimidated by. I was wrong. I finally slowed down and caught my breath as I reached a community, Harry's. I was shivering from this cold. But as long as I got far away from those two, I would be fine.
