Loved You Anyway [Zayn Malik]

31: Confused and Lost

Chapter 31:

Hazel POV:

"Isn't your Mum going to, like, kill us?" Liam asked me hesitantly.

"She's not going to be here for another three days, so why the hell not?" I asked him with a smirk.

He shrugged and grabbed a teaspoon from the table and breathed out heavily. I smiled and opened a drawer and took out the two mini bottles of cinnamon and walked out to the pool side in my house. The rest were all sat outside on the deckchairs, waiting for me to get the things that we needed for the cinnamon challenge. 

I handed each of them a  teaspoon and handed Louis the cinnamon bottle and took the other one myself and piled it on top of the teaspoon and handed the cinnamon bottle to Seth. When the rest of the group had piled their teaspoons with cinnamon, I looked up at all of them.

"On the count of three," Louis said, sounding like an excited little kid. "One, two, three!"

I jammed the teaspoon in my mouth and instantly had the urge to spit the cinnamon out of my mouth but forced myself not to. Harry fired cinnamon everywhere the moment the cinnamon was in his mouth. He coughed and sneezed and out came the cinnamon that was once on his teaspoon.

Jesy, Liam, Niall and Seth ended up coughing, which resulted in having a cinnamon puff surrounding us. Louis winced and swallowed the cinnamon without a single cough, then drank some water to get rid of the cinnamon. 

Zayn, on the other hand, was having some 'difficulties' with swallowing but in the end he managed to swallow it. I wrinkled my nose and forced myself to swallow but ended up choking and coughing the cinnamon, which exploded in Seth's face. 

"Hazel!" he protested and wiped his face with his shirt.

"Sorry!" I replied while chuckling. "Your face was standing there."

He sent me a death glare and I looked at him innocently. 

"What time is it?"Jesy asked.

"Two in the morning," Seth replied and her eyes widened.

"I have to go, my mum is going to kill me," Jesy said, standing up and wiping her mouth with the back of her hand.

"Yeah, we should probably go, too," Louis said, standing up.

And since he was the only one with a driving licence, the rest of the group stood up aswell so that he could drive them back home. He was going to drop Seth off at the train station because his mum wanted him home this night.

I gave Seth a hug, even though I would be seeing him in two days, I would still miss him. He was my closest cousin and my best friend and I treated him like my brother.

 After everyone had left, I locked the door behind everyone else and walked towards the kitchen, turning off the lights and making sure the back door that led towards the pool were locked. I breathed out heavily and coughed slightly. I headed towards my bedroom and flopped down on my bed.

It has been around a week since the whole Chase scenario. I hadn't heard of him or even contacted him or vice-versa. I didn't want to know about him and I had come to a realisation that I never actually loved him but I only really liked him. Love was such a strong word and I thought that he was my first love and that I was going to be heart broken and bla bla bla. But in fact, I'm not. 

I let out a sigh and got off my bed and went back downstairs, heading towards the kitchen to eat something. I turned on the lights beneath the top cupboards and sauntered towards the fridge. I pulled the fridge door open and gazed inside the fridge, trying to decide on what to eat. I ended up choosing a banana. I closed the fridge door and made my way to exit the kitchen but the front door unlocking stopped me in my tracks.
