Teardrops on My Guitar [Ziall] ~On Hold~

Chapter 17

[Zayn's POV]

“Hold on Niall, I've gotta take this call.”

“Kay,” he replied mid-giggle as he poured the flour into the batter.

We were attempting to bake brownies cause we suddenly had brownie cravings while watching TV after the guys who cleaned the house left. Louis had hired people to clean up after the party, and they came right after Niall and I had gotten ready this afternoon. So the house was clean and we took the opportunity to laze around and be fat.

I sighed as I walked out of the kitchen and slipped my phone out of my pocket. Sighing again as I looked at the called ID, I placed the phone to my ear as I slid the 'Answer' icon.

“Hey Per...”

“ZAYN! Oh God! I was so worried! I thought you died or something! What happened? Why didn't you pick up my calls? Good God, Liam said something about alcohol poisoning and I got so worried!”

“Uh, sorry?” I winced. Can I please go back to making brownies with Niall? I really don't wanna deal with this now.

“Zayn, we need to talk,” Perrie said after a moment of awkward silence.

“Um, aren't we talking now?”

“You know what I mean.”

“Yeah. Go ahead. Speak.” I really wasn't looking forward to this.

She took a deep breath before she said, “Look Zayn, obviously things aren't working out for the best for us..”

“Yeah..” I said softly in agreement.

“You feel it too, right?”

“Yeah.” I really couldn't deny it. I haven't been feeling this relationship for a while now. At first when we first started going out, I had been so excited to see her all the time. Lately, I seemed to have a sour feeling in my gut whenever we planned to have a date.

“I-I have to tell you something, Zayn..”

Honestly, if she wanted to break up, it's fine with me. I just hope I don't get my ass dumped cause that would be pretty embarrassing. Though I don't think Perrie's that kind of person who would do that.

“What is it?”

“Zayn, I'm lesbian. I, uh, didn't know how to tell you earlier...”

What?

“I like girls, like more than friends,” she explained patiently, sensing my confusion.

“Oh, well, um, I guess that's great. Boobs are great.” Oh God, I'm probably sounding like a dick right now.

“Haha, yeah, boobs are great.”

“Yeah, so um, we're obviously not gonna be together then?”

“Is that okay with you?”

“Yeah, I'm totally cool with it. I'm glad you told me though.” Honestly, I was. And hey, it's not everyday your girlfriend tells you she's into boobs as well. It's great really.

“Thanks Zayn. I hope we'll still be friends after this. You're a really nice guy.”

“Of course we'd still be friends. What are you talking about? It's every guy's dream is to have a lesbian best friend!”

“Haha! Just like how it's every girl's dream to have a gay best friend!”

“Exactly!”

“So..”
