Tainted Redemption

Chapter twenty-four

"So..." Tasia begins, quirking her perfect eyebrow, "Who are you texting with nonstop?"

I smiled unsure, tugging on my grey jumper paws.

Violet smirked knowingly, "I've told her about ex-lover boy." she wiggles her eyebrows suggestively.

I groan.

"Is it him?" Tasia probed.

I don't know why I was so reluctant to tell them.

"Come on, Liam already told me as well; that you two got quite some history and that you might be rekindling."

"What?!"

I ignore a gaping Violet, tucking a pillow to my stomach, "Did Liam talk about me and Zayn?"

"Whoa, that's an exotic sounding name though... I mean he had the looks to go with it but-" Violet rambles with wide orbs.

"Violet, focus." I cut her off.

"Right. How does Liam know Zayn?" Violet questioned befuddled, Tasia clearly had told her about Liam staying as her new roomie.

During the time I was held inside they've been bonding which was awesome.

My father was still out of town, mum didn't yell at me for spending that night away, where I had been together with Zayn. She of course hinted and somewhat knew but didn't prod onto the issue further. I think the reason to that is because she wants me to tell her everything, to trust her, which I would.

That with Zayn was another issue however. I knew I had lied to him, but I did it so he wouldn't snap at his father... If he were to find out by someone else he'd be angry at his father and me. A weird feeling in me made me sway at that thought...

What if he breaks up with me because of this? I still wasn't certain what to do...

"Liv?" Tasia came to my side, holding me up when I had swayed forward and almost head banged the coffee table.

"What... what happened?" I was slightly breathless. Lately I've felt so tired and have this copper taste in my mouth.

Actually ever since Zayn and I got together. Which is almost two weeks ago.

Violet brought me some water with a chocolate bar that I slowly swallow, the dizziness fades bit by bit, "Are you having a low blood pressure again?" My two best friends are already on doctor mode, eyeing me with concern, "It's gotten worse. You should really see a doctor, I don't want something like at the first semester to happen again. Those continually weak episodes." she stated.

I shrug, "I guess."

"Are you sure it's because of your anemia?" Tasia quizzially asked, "You don't look pale, in fact your face radiates and glows. Also what are you doing to your hair? It always shines!" she exclaimed and we all laugh at that enthusiasm, though she still stares at me like she's figured out something but wasn't sure.

"I feel better, as Violet said, I used to have these phases where I feel that dizzy rush."

They both nod.

....

We can't sleep so we put a movie on but don't really put mind to it.

"Will we ever meet your trouble maker of a boyfriend?" Violet bemoaned, braiding and unbrading her blonde hair. She's been trying to make that meet up happen for an hour now but it's not that simple.

Firstly because Zayn would flip and doesn't really do friendly meet ups, I don't know how his gang mates get along with him, secondly Zayn's job is too risky for him to be seen with a bunch of ladies, well us three, and it could put them in danger, thirdly Zayn's personality, which I love but it's different with me, is not really a polite one.
