I Don't Need You (A Zayn Malik Fan Fiction)

Chapter 5 ~ He doesn't know

Chapter 5~ Zayn

What just happened? Things were going well and we just started talking when I asked about her parents? I stare at my coffee, why...why did she leave? I pull out my phone and text Liam.

To Liam:

Hey mate, meet me at Starbucks?

From Liam:

Sure thing. Be there in 15.

I tuck my phone away and wait for Liam. I didn't think a question like that was too forward. I mean I was only trying to get to know her. Fuck, she's gonna be back to hating me. I let out an audible sigh, not thinking anyone was paying attention to me.

"You alright?", a quiet voice asks.

I look up and am met by huge brown eyes searching me. This girl looks so familiar...oh, it's Anna. She's still looking at me, why?? Oh, I haven't answered her. "Ummm yeah, I'm alright...I guess."

"May I sit down?", she asks, seeming calmer than when I talked to her earlier.

"Yeah, sure", I motion for her to sit.

"I'm sorry for intruding your thoughts but I needed a word", she says seriously. Shit! She's gonna go off on a whole Kali rant.

"No, it;s fine. Before you speak Anna, I wan tot say I'm sorry for whatever I said", running my fingers through my hair I look down.

"Zayn, what did you say?", she carefully touches my arms, making me look up again.

"All I did was ask about her parents. Why she lives with you and not with them."

Her face drops, "Oh." Oh? OH?! That's all she's going to respond with. What does that mean? ...Bad. It probably means something bad.

I drop my head into my hands, "I messed up didn't I?"

She sighs, "It's not your fault...it's just a touchy subject for her. Giver her time."

"She hates me, why?", I don't look up. I can't.

"She just....I-I can't tell you. Because I don't even know. It's not exactly that she hates you, okay? Just know that", she says.

'Thanks Anna. Oh quick question", I look up at her again.

"Shoot", she smiles.

"How come you're not swooning over me like earlier?"

She laughs and shakes her head, "Please Zayn! I was under the impression you were this pretty boy, very intimidating popstar person...but you're just like any one of us".

"Nice to know", I smile and look back down.

She starts to get up. "Listen, I'm going to go. I'll talk some sense into- OH! I'm terribly sorry!"

I look up and see Liam holding Anna steady. "It's quite alright....?", he holds out the pause basically asking for her name.

"Anna...my names Anna", she smiles.

"Liam. Liam Payne", he shakes her hand and winks. I roll my eyes.

She tucks a strand of hair behind her ear, "Lovely to meet you, but I've got to get going." Liam still holds eye contact with her. "Okay...bye Zayn...Liam", she quickly ducks her head and leaves.

Liam laughs as he slides into the side of the booth where Anna sat. "Fit thing, ain't she?", he raises his eyebrows.

"You never stop do you?", I ask.
