Divided Heart [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 19: A Little Connivance

 Flashback:

“We’re together officially.”

Those words stabbed me in my heart and I was so hurt. We were so wrong about this two and we need to do something about this.

Avery’s P.O.V

Their faces were priceless! Shock and hurt were clearly visible amongst them. I was confused, as in DEAD CONFUSED. They weren’t acting happy for us, or so I thought. Harry was clenching his fists and was glaring at Zayn. Louis twitched his lips and Liam sat quiet. Suddenly, Niall decided to break the silence, “I, uhmm, I’m going to the kitchen.” he said and quickly left. Liam and Louis followed him and Harry was left, still dumbfounded. “Hey” I said and approached Harry. He never said anything, instead he walked towards Zayn and whispered something to him that I couldn’t hear. Zayn’s face hardened and he looked at me with sympathy and I was confused… Again.

Harry’s P.O.V

“What the fCENSOREDk was that all about?” I asked Zayn, feeling enraged. “What do you mean?” he asked, trying to play innocent. “Oh, don’t play your little mind games with me. I know what you’re doing.” I said fiercely. “And what exactly is that?” he asked and put that devilish smirk.

Damn, that smirk. I just want to wipe that off his face.

 “I know your little actions with Perrie.” I said blankly and waited for his reaction. He was shocked and that only made me smile. “Think you hid your pretty little secret very well? Ha! It was pretty obvious, by the way. You’ll be gone for days and when you come back, you’re going to act as if nothing happened. If you were going to commit a crime, you’re going to be found by the cops too easily. You don’t know how to hide your evidence very well. Tsk.Tsk. Too bad, Malik. You can’t hide your little secret forever.” I said and started to walk away from him. “And, oh, why don’t you try on changing some of your contacts’ name? Like Perrie’s for example?” I added and gave a soft chuckle.

Perrie’s P.O.V

I was sitting on the corner of my bed, listening to some music. I was startled when my phone started to ring. “Hello,” I said as I answered the phone. “Hey, Perrie. It’s me, Harry Styles. Can we meet today? Is it okay if it’s in (insert name of a restaurant)?” he asked and that made me wonder. “Uhmmm… Yeah, sure. Around noon perhaps?” I suggested, glancing at the wall clock. “Perfect. I’ll bring the lads with me. Except for Zayn. Bye!” he said and hung the phone call. What does he want? And most importantly,

Why isn’t he bringing Zayn?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It feels like years have passed while I was waiting for the clock to strike…

No, not twelve

Waiting for the clock to strike eleven.

Tick, tock, tick, tock

I glanced at the clock again, it’s quarter to 11. Better prepare for this so-called “meeting”. I took a pair of pink jeans and a simple white shirt. I took a short bath and quickly head to my dresser. After fully clothing myself, I added some mascara and lipstick to my face. I put my blonde hair (yeah, it’s blonde for the mean time) on a high ponytail and sprayed a little amount of cologne on my clothes. I slipped on my doll shoes and grabbed my phone and purse.

11:30 a.m.

Wow! I took almost an hour to prepare? I washed away my thoughts and ride on my Porsche. I parked my car in front of the fancy restaurant. As soon as I entered the place, cold air greeted me. This place is so damn cold! Do they even change the thermostat? I shook my head and searched for some sign of Harry or the others. I spotted a boy with brown curly hair and green orbs that were looking intently at my own eyes and that same cheeky smile that captured the hearts of many, well I don’t belong to that ‘many’.

Harry Styles

I approached him on his table and noticed that he was accompanied by the others. “Hey!” he greeted me and I smiled in response. I took a seat next to Niall, who was busy stuffing his face with some food. He must’ve noticed that I was staring at him, because he stopped and smiled at me, and chocolate was in between his teeth. I smiled awkwardly and he went back on eating.

“So, what brings me here?” I asked Harry. “As you can see, I know this little fling you have with our buddy, Malik.” he started, emphasizing the words “buddy” and “Malik”. “And we just want to ask you if you approve his relationship with his girlfriend, Avery.” he continued. I smirked, “Of course, I don’t.” I replied instantly. “Well, we want to negotiate something with you.” Louis butted in. “What do you want me to do?” I asked them. “We want you to--”  Louis started but I cut him. “You want me to break them up, so one of you will have her and I’ll have Zayn?” I asked, asking the very obvious. Louis grinned and Harry smirked. “Exactly.” Liam answered. “You’re with this too, Liam?” I asked him. “Yup!” he said, popping the letter ‘p’. “Well, I thought you were the goody two shoes in the band.” I teased. Liam shrugged and smiled.

“What plan do you have in your crazy mind, Styles?” I asked him. “No, you’re the mastermind.” he stated calmly. I rolled my eyes at him. “Fine.” I grunted and stared at my newly-polished nails, thinking of something. Then, it clicked me.

“I have the perfect plan.”

Harry’s P.O.V

“Well, go on, spill the beans!” I said. Perrie sighed, “It’s pretty simple. I will try to do something stupid or reckless with Zayn, maybe have a make-out session with him and send a picture to you for proof. And your job will be…. You have to think of something to convince Avery that Zayn is not what she thinks he is. Then, you have to show her the picture using Zayn’s phone. Think you can do it?” she asked and I smiled. “Of course!” I replied instantly with enthusiasm. I looked at Louis who was grinning evilly and Liam was just smiling. “When do we start?” Liam asked, his voice coming out of nowhere. “As soon as possible.” she replied. “I have my own way on getting Zayn back to me and you, you think of some way to get her.” she added. “Okay. It settled then.” Louis said and Perrie nodded.

Operation: Separate The Two Together: ON

Sorry, Avery. But, we have to do this. This is for your own good too.

Zayn's P.O.V

I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling that something's wrong is coming on our way. Or worse...

On my way.
