Chapter 49.

just because he's so pretty :(

Lexie's P.O.V:

It's been 2 weeks, 2 weeks since we had a decent conversation. Whenever I call him he drops my call and if he does answer his answers are all clipped, for example:

'yeah.'
'no'
'whatever'
'sure'

4 words, 4 words that he repeats over and over again. Once I asked how his day was and he answered me with a 'sure', now tell me how does that answer my question?

But, that's not all, he always clips our phone calls short and makes up an excuse like 'my battery died' or 'I don't know bad signal' every single time but when I tried texting through Alyssa's phone after our phone call suddenly stopped, I pretended to be Alyssa, asking about the homework and he answered with a decent reply and a fucking smiley face.

"Lexie Shay are you even listening?" I snapped my head up to see my mother glaring at me. "yes mom" I sighed and she scowled "great, I have a 21 year old daughter with the attention span of a 4 year old." my mother muttered under her breath.

thanks a lot mom.

I rolled my eyes at my mother and yes she is the reason why I left that day but whenever I would try and explain Zayn won't let me he would say 'you know what I'm tired' or 'I have to do something'. It was my mother, my mother who wouldn't have stopped talking about my incompetence if I didn't leave when Harry called me. The same woman who would have my head on a platter if I get a grade lower than an A.

"so I'll be back next month to visit" she said as the taxi pulled up "or you know calling is optional" I suggested, my tone clipped.

"so you could hide something? oh no Lexie Shay I don't think so" She scolded and chuckled darkly.

oh did I mention she doesn't trust me, but I know it's her twisted way of caring for me.

"mom like I've said before I'm responsible" I rolled my eyes. "I beg to differ." she said as she called for a taxi.

"good bye mom, I love you" I ignored her comment as I took her into a hug, sure my mother was controlling, shrill and strict as fuck, plus she has minimal faith in me but none of those things change the fact that I do love her.

"good bye Lex, I love you too" she said curtly but that was okay I knew she wasn't affectionate. "I hope you do your best as you promised and don't disappoint me" she said as she pulled away.

I nodded as she got into the taxi, I watched it drive away and when I turned around I saw Zayn at the entrance of our main building, his eyes were glued on me as he watched me intently and I knew I had to talk to him even if he has been avoiding me.

I was about to go after him but then Jasmine called out "Lex, are you coming the guys are already there"

fuck.

Of course, of course this just had to be the same day where Harry chose to treat us out. I'm not complaining but this thing with Zayn and- wait you know what he has been cutting me off and has been cold and distant these past 2 weeks.

All he did was deny that he was mad at me and made me work for it plus whenever I would try to go near him he would avoid me, he never let me explain my side and he kicked me out that night. I have tried apologizing but he would turn our conversation off, sure I was wrong and I get that and I am owning up to it but he's being fucking childish right now.

Zayn's P.O V:

Lexie looked at me and I can't read what exact emotion she had floating in those gray irises of her's and for a minute I thought she would walk up to me since I have been avoiding her for 2 weeks now but she shakes her head subtly before turning around to walk off with Jasmine.
