Chapter 8

After I ran into Harry I couldn't stop thinking about what he said as I started to walk back home .. because it seems like you don't really know them at all..

Before I knew it I was standing in front of my house and I have to admit, I don't want to go in.

I walk over to Calums house. It's a few blocks away but I get there fairly quickly.

I walk up his front steps hoping it's unlocked but it's not so I just sit on the steps instead.

Questions keep running through my head nonstop. I don't know what Harry was talking about and it's starting to bother more than it should but I feel like it's not any of my business. I guess I came here to talk to Calum about it but I have a feeling I shouldn't.

I stand up from the steps and start walking back home.

I hear a voice come from behind me and honestly I'm kinda a little scared. I don't turn around and just keep walking. I hear a door slam, I think it's a car so this time I run. I run back home and it's not till I look behind me that I see someone running after me. I'm almost home but my mom can't save me from an anonymous killer. I run towards Harry's.

I'm in his front lawn almost to his door when i get tackled down. I scream. I scream as loud as I can.

"Mia! Mia! Calm down its okay." They say but I freak out even more.

"Get off of me! Help! Someone help!"

I get turned around and am now on my back. Zayn is hovering over me.

"What the hell Zayn! You fucking scared me! I thought I was going to die! Why the hell would you wear all black like that!?"

My heart is pounding a million times per minute and I can't seem to catch a breath.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was with Calum and couldn't sleep anymore so I was sitting at his window and I saw you walking away from the house and came after you. Then you started running and I thought something was wrong so I ran after you. But you kept running and wasn't listening to me yell at you so I guess I just tackled you. I'm sorry. Oh my god I'm so sorry I'm such an asshole." He chuckles a little and it's the cutest thing I've ever seen. His tongues is pressed lightly against his teeth and his mouth displays a small smile.

I'm sat up now but if I were still under him while he smiled at me like that, I think I would have died or something. He is way more good looking than I thought or payed attention to.

"Hey M?" He asks. "Is it okay if I call you that?"

"Yeah sure. And what?" I turn to him and reply.

"You wanna go somewhere?" He asks with a hopeful stare. I look into his eyes and bite my lip. He glances down at them and I can't help but smile.

"Sure but that depends on where." I felt kinda playful while I said that but he tackled me so that's probably why.

"What are you doing here? And why were you yelling?"

I turn from where I'm sitting and see Harry at his door with a deep scowl placed upon his face. I stand and move slightly away from Zayn. He stands as well but stays where he is.

"Sorry um I thought he was someone trying to hurt me but that was until I got tackled and well, was fine I guess." That was the stupidest explanation ever.

"You ran to my house?" He asks with a small smirk.

"I guess, yea."

"You wanted me to save you?" He moves from his place and walks forward.

"I don't really know. I mean you're a guy and stronger than my mother so I guess yea."

"Okay" He smiles and crosses his arms. "Would you two like to come in?"

I look at Zayn not knowing what to say or do.

"I think we're good but thanks." He says to Harry

"Mia, would you like to come in?" Harry looks at me.

"Um..I- I think I'm just going to go home."

"Okay. I'll see you later then Mia." He turns around and goes back into his house, giving a small almost unnoticeable glare towards Zayn.

"I'll walk you home." Zaun says, I look towards him and smile.

...

I try entering as quiet as I can hoping I can make it to my room without my mother noticing I was back. So far, everything is clear. The living room and kitchen are empty so I assume she is in her room seeing as her car was is still in the driveway. I open my door as little as I can, hoping to squeeze through without it creaking. I closed the door before tuning on my light, I turn around and find my mother. She is asleep on my bed. I grab a pillow off the bed and sit on the floor. I play with the strings that are coming off and start thinking again. I'm so confused about all of this. What could Harry have meant by what he said? And why did he invite me in his house? If whatever he meant was true, what am I supposed to do? Why would Calum not tell me if there was a problem of some sort? What even is this all about? I honestly don't know what to think, maybe I should just ask Calum about it. What's the worst that could happen?

I stand back up and exit the room just as quiet as I came in. I walk to the back of the house and enter the back yard, pulling out my phone I find Calums contact. Not sure what I am going to say or even if I really want to bring it up, I press call. I wait and with each ring I am more and more tempted to end the call but on the 4th ring he answers. Oh no, why did I do this? I thought to myself.

"Hey, is everything okay?" he asks through the phone.

"I- uh-" Nothing came out of my mouth only stutters, I'm so nervous I didn't even know what to say.

"Mia, whatever it is you can tell me. Let me help you, please just talk to me." He knew I was hiding something, I could hear it in his voice. I take a deep breathe trying to calm myself down, I don't even know why this is bothering me so much or why I'm so scared to talk to him about something when it could really be nothing.

"Calum, I need to talk to you about something..." I say deciding to suck it up and just tell him.

"Okay, what is it?" He asks patiently .

"When I went on a walk earlier this morning.. I uh.. I ran into Harry.."

"Did he do something to you? I swear to god if he did something to hurt you I will beat the living-"

"Calum he didn't hurt me" I can sense the anger in his voice and I know that whatever this is, even if it is something to worry about, It may not as bad as Harry made it seem.

"Okay... then what happened?"

"He told me that there's something I don't know or something that you're hiding from me.."

"Is that what he said?" The anger is back in his voice, maybe it's worse than I thought it would be.

"Yea, that's it.." I say my voice barely above a whisper.

"I have to go Mia, I'm sorry but I'm not supposed talk about this..and it wouldn't only be me who's hiding it." He hung up the phone and that was all I was left with. Im so confused and I want answers, it may not be any of my business and it might not be as bad as its making me feel right now but I don't care, I want to know.
