Jenna's POV

"Why the hell did you do that?!" I asked angrily, but kept my voice low not wanting to wake Harry.

"I told her about the kiss, and my feelings for you. I know I need to get over you, but it didn't feel right staying with Perrie while I had feelings for someone else." I understand what he means, but I still think he's crazy.

"Zayn. You love Perrie. I don't know what you think you feel towards me, but you're my bestfriend..."

"Jenna I know. I want to stay that way. And I do love Perrie...but I think I love Perrie how you love me. We work well together, but she's more of a friend. And she's the kind of girl who needs alot of attention...I just don't feel like I can be what she needs anymore. I will get over you. I promise."

"Zayn." I sigh. "You're gonna find a great girl, and she's gonna be everything you've ever wanted and needed. It's gonna be the best thing to ever happen to you. THAT I promise you." He laughs at my optimism.

"You can't promise what you don't know, Jenna." He said twiddling his thumbs and staring at his lap.

"Hell yes I can. I may not know for a fact that it's going to happen, but come on. You're Zayn freaking Malik. Any girl would gladly be yours."

"Any girl but you." Ive never had so much pain in my heart. It was as if I watched him stab a puppy. My stomach clenched inside and my heart shattered.

"That's not true..." He raised his head and looked at me confused. "Zayn, I would gladly have been with you. It's just that..Harry got to me first. And I fell for him. But, that doesn't mean I can't see how great of a catch you are."

"I shouldn't have come here." He said and turned to wipe his cheek.

"Please don't cry..." I said moving his hand and wiping the tears for him.

"I don't mean to. It's just that I came here to tell you I was gonna get over you, and then you say something like that. It just makes it harder. Why can't you just be a bitch? Help a brother out." I laugh at his wishes.

"Because I love you too much." I pull him into a hug, but the feeling of his arms wrapped around me is short lived when I hear someone clear their throat.

"Excuse me..." I let go of Zayn to see Harry with his arms crossed and his eyebrows high.

"Well look who finally got up." I said making my way over to him.

I go to kiss Harry's cheek when he pulls me in and his lips crash onto mine. I can't help but feel like this is his way of marking his territory, but I give in and kiss him back. I don't want to rub anything in Zayns face, but if I don't I'll never hear the end of it from Harry.

"I'm...I'm just gonna go." Zayn says and I practically have to pry Harry off of me.

"Bye, Boo." I use my old nickname for Zayn, hoping to make him smile. My effort fails as he doesn't so much as wave and walks out the door.

"What the hell, Harry!"

"You can't be mad at me." He shrugs and heads to the kitchen.

"Excuse me? What makes you think that." I say as I follow him.

"I wake up sad that you weren't in bed anymore, and I thought 'hmm maybe she's making breakfast' or went to get breakfast. I dunno...something. But no. I come out to see you in Zayns arms as you tell him you love him. How do you think that makes me feel, Jenna!"

"It should make you feel happy, Harry! I'm trying to still be his friend despite what has happened. And for your information, I hugged him because I feel terrible. Him and Perrie just broke up!"

"Oh that makes me feel SO MUCH BETTER! He's single now and the first person he comes to is MY girl. Damn I feel so fucking great, Jenna. Why didn't you say that right away!" He threw his arms up and tried to walk past me.

"Stop." I stepped in his way. "I don't appreciate your sarcasm first of all." He rolls his eyes and tries to get by once again, but I'm faster.

"Get out of my way, Jenna."

"No, Harry. You're being an idiot."

"Then let me be an idiot. Move."

"NO. You need to stop."

"JENNA GET OUT OF MY FUCKING WAY!" Harry gets incredibly loud when he's angry, but his bark is worse than his bite. If it weren't for his tight grip on my forearm, I would've held my ground.

I step to the side and he throws my arm away, storming out of the room. The room began to spin, and all I could think was 'it's not that big of a deal Jenna he'll get over it'. But the severe pain in my stomach tells me otherwise. I drop to the floor, unable to take the pain.

"H-aaagh!" I try to call out for Harry, but the pain is too much. All that comes out is my screams. "Harry.." I wimper, unable to call louder than a mouse as the tears begin to fall. "Help...Harry"
