Vague

Chapter 7

*Lisa POV*

Bruce called again. His calls are getting frequent. I'm trying to be strong but it is affecting me, it is freaking me. I mean, that guy knows that I'm at Sarah's place right now. I need to tell someone, but I can't. What if he finds out that I told someone about him? I can't bear to see any of my friends hurt.

Zayn was giving me a concerned look today after I rejoined them after Bruce's call. Did he hear me screaming on the phone? I hope he didn't, I don't want anyone to find out about it yet.

"Lisa!" Zoey was clicking her fingers in front of my eyes, "who're you thinking about? Is it Zayn?" she smirked at me.

I gave her the stink eye. She just looked amused and continued making our dinner. We were back at our flat, after convincing Sarah that we couldn't sleep over that night due to some important college work. I just felt like I needed to be on my own for a while and think about my situation, and Zoey agreed with me because she thinks I actually have work to do.

We were on break from college for about two months, but we still had loads of work to get completed. I'd think about it after some days, I don't feel like starting my holidays by working a lot on assignments and stuff.

I went to bed early after dinner, my head searing with pain. The tension was really getting to me. I wish I could speak to someone about it. Zoey and Sarah are my best friends but I still can't tell them, it sucks.

I woke up at around 10 a.m. I'm an early riser so it was too late for me, but I had an aching head the previous night so I excused myself. I brushed and went to the kitchen, finding that Zoey was still not up. She can sleep till the afternoon if not woken up. I made myself some tea, and sat down with the newspaper.

"One Direction get in feud with The Wanted, on Twitter"

Some pretty heated words were exchanged, it seems. Well, as much as I like the One Direction, I feel both the bands are to be blamed for it. If at least one of them behaved in a mature way, the fight could've been stopped.

Zoey woke up and came down just as I was going to make some scrambled eggs for me. "Two for me please!"

"Yeah sure, had a good sleep?"' I asked.

"Yes, I kinda slept late, I was talking to..." she trailed off, not really completing the sentence.

"You were talking to whom?", if she thought I was going to drop it, she was wrong.

"I was talking to Katie, from English!"

"You know that I can see right through you when you lie? Besides, I've never seen you talking to her, except sometimes in the class. Why would you even talk to her, till late night?"

She face palmed, she'd been caught. "I was talking to Niall", she tried to say as fast as possible, hoping that I'd miss the name.

"Come again, who?"

"Niall", she finally said, "he asked for my number that day at the dinner, and since then we've been talking sometimes. He's a nice and funny guy."

Woah, spoke too early, didn't I? I sure wanted to play matchmaker the first time I saw both of them talking, but I guess it happened already.

"Aww, does wittle Zoey have a crush on someone?"' I cooed, pinching her cheeks. I loved annoying her.

"Lis, stop it. We've just started talking since like 3 days." But I noticed that she blushed a little.

I decided to leave the matter. "okay, as you say. But let me know if he hurts you, he can't get away with anything like that!"

She just slapped my arms and sat down on the sofa. I laughed it off and went to the kitchen to make our breakfast. I've been told quite a few times that I'm a good cook, but truly speaking, I don't like anything that I prepare. But I guess that's just me.

After breakfast, I decided that I might as well finish some work for college, I was staying at home the whole day. Zoey went out to Ellie's home, she's a mutual friend.

It was almost afternoon and I hadn't got any unwanted calls yet, maybe it was going to be a good day!
