Best Friends (Harry Styles AU)

Back Up

Harry POV

After last period I met with Zayn to talk about what was happening.

He suggested we get some drive through and so when we drove by In-N-Out, we couldn't resist.

"I'll have a double-double, extra pickles, animal style with regular onions, animal style fries, and a strawberry milkshake" i tell the speaker at the drive through. Zayn just looks at me, shakes his head and turns to the speaker, "make that two of those orders" he smiles.

What? We're guys.

We listen to the radio, avoiding the topic of Perrie and when we finally arrive to the window, the girl gives us our bag of food.

I can't help but notice the wink she gives Zayn, and it puts me on edge thinking further of what could be going on in his mind.

The drive to Zayns isn't long. One of the reasons I liked Zayn was he wasn't "incredibly rich". He lived in a nice house on the outskirts of the "rich neighborhood". Almost fairytale looking, it was a unique doll - house style house in a gated community with a large front yard. The walkway was blocked by a white picket fence and purple flowers that lined the floors.

He drives around and parks in the driveway and we go in through the garage.

"Let's eat first, yeah?" Zayn says, and I nod in agreement.

We eat in silence with the T.V. playing in the background. Zayn has siblings that I've never met but one of the girls is watching some show with girls wearing way too much makeup for their age.

I practically swallow the burger but take my time on the fries. I need to think. Okay, he wants to break up with her? So sudden and unexpected. I didnt know they were really having trouble? I mean, sure Perrie is nice to everyone that people might think it's flirting but she's nice. That's how she is. I don't know what's going on through Zayns head but it can't be good...but, wait.

Why is he coming to me?!

If anything, why didn't he go to Louis?

I look up ready to ask him when he gets up to throw his trash away.

"I'll be in my room when you're done" he says and walks out.

I clean around and wait a few minutes to collect myself. Staring into space I hear a noise to the side and see the wind has caused a branch to hit the kitchen window.

Finally I take a deep breath and walk upstairs.

I open the door to Zayns and am met with a view I've only seen a few times before. Art covered walls with signatures showing the date Zayn finished each. But this only distracts me a second until the smell of weed consumes me.

I cough but Zayn doesn't seem to notice as I take a seat on his bed.

Not sure of what to do I sit down and wait.

"You know, i thought I loved her. I really did. And fuck, maybe I do. I know what you're thinking man, but it's not like that. I'm just not feeling something I did before.

She's all ive known relationship wise. So, I don't know if I even really love her. I mean, do you think you really love your first love?"

He looks at me but continues before I can get a word in,

"You know, she talked about kids the other day. She wants 2, a boy and girl. Kids! I mean, sure she said not any time soon but fuck my life isn't hers. I want to do other shit. And what? Just because I said I loved her and maybe talked about marriage means that I want kids?

She's too much dude. And I don't know, maybe she isn't but i dont want this. I don't care for her like that anymore. I don't think I do. I want to date. I want to party. Fuck everything. I want to get out. Dude, I turn 18 in a couple weeks. I'm not about to be some lose still stuck with his freshman girlfriend.

you feel me?"

I wait for a second and think about what has just happened. I guess I see where he's coming from but he can't do this to perrie. She's such a good girl and is honestly in love with him. I couldn't imagine the pain she'll be going through if he does this? Is he really willing to give it up?

"Are you really willing to give everything up?" I ask

Zayn seems to think for a second before looking at me dead in the eye.

"Yes."

That one word sends chills down my spine realizing he's definitely thought this through.

"I needed to tell someone, and I can't trust anyone but you. I would have told Louis but he's so close to El he'd be a little bitch and say something and knowing him he'd tell me a bunch of shit of how much of an "ass" I'm being to Perrie"

I look at him understanding but still not knowing what to do.

"So what do you say, you gunna back me?"

I take a deep breath and look at my best friend.

Instead of answering I get up and pick up some of the weed on the table. I've never done it before but I need something to relax me asap.
I roll it up and light it taking a little in.

I see amusement in Zayns eyes and I can't look away.

"if that's what you want, I'm here", I say, although hesitatant.

A smirk plays on Zayns lips as he puffs another cloud and sits back.

We smoke blunts and hang out for the rest of the night and I get high for the first time in my life.
