Loved You Anyway [Zayn Malik]

24: ∞ Broken

Chapter 24:

Hazel POV:

After the song was over, Zayn and I parted and stood in the middle of the dance floor, staring at each other. His eyes were still twinkling, looking at me softly, making me feel self-conscious and my heart rate was increasing just by him looking at me that way. 

"I have to go find Chase," I announced, after forcing myself to speak and end the silence between us. 

His eyes slightly widened, then returned back to normal and blinked, breaking eye contact.

"Right." Was all he said. I felt my heart tighten but I was getting worried on Chase and I had to go and find out where he was. 

"Thanks for the dance, Zayn," I told him with a smile, stepped forward and gave him a tiny peck on his cheek. I turned around, without looking back, and walked towards the exit of the gym the same one Chase went out off.

I pushed open the doors and walked through the dark, cold corridor. I shivered and ran my hands up and down my arms to try and warm myself but it barely worked. I turned a corner and heard something fall with a loud clink. I spun around and squinted my eyes, trying to see in the dark.

Probably a rat in the janitor's closet or someone else in there ...

I breathed out heavily and continued my way towards the school's side door where I was expecting Chase to be sitting down somewhere close by. I continued walking towards the door, my heels clinking against the school tiles. I pushed open the side door and stepped outside and descended down the stairs. The area was well lighted up and I couldn't see Chase anywhere. He doesn't go too far, usually. I frowned slightly and turned back around and went back inside the school and slowly started walking through the corridor, making my way back towards the gym. 

I pulled my cell phone from my bra, since I didn't want to carry any bags around with me and I didn't trust my phone with anyone, my bra was the only way to keep my phone safe. I bit my lip and typed a new message to Zayn.

Is Chase there? Xx -Hazel

I pressed send and went the other side towards the boys' bathroom to see if he was in there. I walked towards the boys' bathroom and didn't hesitate into walking inside. I turned a corner and saw two boys peeing in the urinals, their backs to me. I took a couple of steps and checked the separate bathrooms but they were all empty.

"Oi! What the hell are you doing in here!? You're a girl!" 

I turned my head around and noticed that the two boys had heard my heels and turned around to see who it was. 

I arched an eyebrow at them and forced myself to not burst into hysterics and not to let my eyes wander down there. 

"Oh Lord," I mumbled and chuckled. "You might want to get little you in your pants."

They gave me a confused look then they looked down and their eyes widened and quickly stuffed little them inside their pants. I rolled my eyes and walked out of the boys' bathroom and back into the cold corridor and towards the gym.

I felt my phone vibrate and I stopped in my tracks and took out my phone and opened the text

Nope, he's not here. Did you try calling him? Xx -Zayn 

I frowned and breathed out heavily. Why didn't I think of that?

I continued walking while dialling Chase's number. I passed the same janitor's closet and heard a couple of moans. I breathed out heavily while biting my lip, trying to stop myself from laughing at how obvious the couple in there were being. I pressed the green button and pressed my phone to my ears and patiently waited for Chase to pick it up.
