Chapter 21- It's Never Too Late

Chapter 21- It's Never Too Late

"She is definitely not yours."

"You gave up on her the first place. So I'm pretty sure she's definitely not yours either."

The hatred between Harry and Zayn was never that deep when they were younger, when they were younger, it was only pure jealousy, but after Lauren's death, hatred started joining in, Harry's hatred towards Zayn grew even more when Taylor came back into his life.

He blamed Lauren's death all on Zayn and until now, he still couldn't let go.

But he didn't know what Zayn went through either. Zayn spent the next two years having sleepless nights, nightmares and fears till Taylor came along, and once again made him realize that there was hope in this world, but now that he had cut her off, everything was coming back to him.

For the past two years, he had used work as a distraction, distracting all his fears, but now he didn't even have the motivation to work. Nothing seemed to come to him at all.

He blew away his only chance of finding love again, being able to let go of his fears, and now he's suffering the consequences.

Harry was about to walk out of the room when Zayn started, "Did she say yes?"

"What do you think?" Harry smirked. And with that, he closed the door behind him, leaving Zayn alone again.

Zayn exhaled and could feel something in his throat.

He wanted Taylor in his life.

No, he NEEDED her.

And he still does.

He rested the glass in his hand on the coffee table next to him and gathered himself together.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Taylor looked down at the jacket in her hand as a tear fell from her cheek.

"Okay." She breathed out, "No more Zayn."

She rested the jacket into one of the drawers in her walk in closet and pushed the drawer close.

She wiped her tears off her face with her fingers and took a deep breath.

"New day, new beginning." She said to herself.

Suddenly she heard a ding from her phone.

She walked towards the coffee table where her phone laid and looked at the screen.

Zayn: I'm outside your house, come down.

Taylor ran towards her window and looked down, Zayn was walking out of his car.

When I wanted to forget, he appears.

Taking a deep breath, she walked down the stair and out of her house.

Zayn noticed her. He looked at her from a distance and got his back off the car door and his hands out of his pockets.

He smiled at her.

What is he doing here? Taylor thought, Don't get carried away by his smile.

"H-hey." Taylor faked a smile.

"Hey." Zayn smiled back.

"W-what are you doing here?" Taylor asked, trying hard to look into his eyes like nothing happened.

"You still owe me a coat remember?"

"Oh, yeah." Taylor nodded.

"So are you free now? If you are, we can go shop for it now." Zayn offered.

When I'm like this?

But the faster I get him his coat, the faster I can not see him again.

All you gotta do is hold it in for today, Taylor.

And then you're Zayn-Free.

"Yeah, we can go now. Just lemme change and grab my money."

Zayn smiled while shaking his head a little, "You look great already, and I can pay."

"I'm in a t-shirt and shorts how can I look great?!" Taylor asked while laughing a little.

"Then we'll just have to shop for your clothes too then." Zayn smiled, grabbing her hand and pushing her into the shotgun seat.

The car ride was awfully silent but Taylor noticed Zayn smiling through the whole ride which made Taylor a little uncomfortable.

They soon arrived at one of the malls nearby and they pulled over.

They got into almost every shop at the mall, all expensive well-known brands. But the things that they shopped for were only for Taylor, since all the stores they got in were for women clothing.

Zayn would make her try on so many clothes and she would have to find excuses about how she looked fat in the dress of that it was too revealing but Zayn would always pay for all the clothes he thought looked good on her.

He wanted her to start wearing all the clothes that he got her, rather than wearing her old vintage dresses. He wanted her to think of him wherever she goes since she'd be wearing the things he'd given her.

Yet Taylor was sad, she knew she was never gonna wear any of them since she was probably gonna keep them deep in her closet and never take them out.

Finally, after walking out of every store with more paper bags each time, Zayn was finally willing to walk into a men's store.

Taylor had never picked jackets for men but she certainly had good taste. She also knew Zayn was a leather type of guy. She knew he'd like leather jackets so she picked out a few that Zayn would like as Zayn followed her everywhere she went.

He stared at her, observing each and every jacket. One in a while, she'd turn around and put the jacket around him. Then she'd shake her head and put it back.

Zayn would laugh at her seriousness yet Taylor would ignore and continue letting him put on different jackets.

"You weren't this picky when we went for your clothes." Zayn commented as Taylor ran her hands through the jackets on display.

"Well cause they weren't for you." Taylor said, grabbing another jacket.

"So if it's for me, you'd pick the best?" Zayn smiled as Taylor turned around.

They both stared at each other for a moment or two. And chemistry was happening.

No. She thought, Cut it out, Taylor.

Just then, the manager walked towards them, asking, "Do you need help, miss?"

The moment was broke.

Taylor looked at her. She was pointing at the stack of jackets in her hands.

"Oh, uh... yes please." Taylor smiled as she gave the jackets to her.

After minutes of choosing, she finally found the perfect one.

Zayn paid for it and immediately wore it right then and there.
