"Who! Who is it?!" Niall half-yelled. I looked at Zayn and Zayn nodded.
"Well, this guy, his name is Eric and he sent me this," I got the phone from Zayn and handed it to Niall. "He’s my ex-boyfriend and our childhood friend." I said while pointing to Zayn.
"What? You have an American accent! You never-" Harry started to say.
"Don’t assume anything, Harry!" Zayn screamed at him.
"ANYWAY! When I was little, I was best friends with Zayn and we met this kid on the playground. We hung out and he fancied me… And we," pointing at myself and Zayn,"went to school and he moved to America. At school, Zayn ignored me and then I left to go to America." I looked toward Zayn and he was shaking his head and looked like he was about to cry.
"Zayn. Why did you ignore Gena?" Niall asked passing the phone around.
"I, uh, um." Zayn started. I shook my head not wanting to know the answer.
"Well, I moved here and it was by coincidence that Eric was at the same state, let along the same city. So, we got together and we dated for awhile and I caught him cheating on me with the bimbo at school. I wasn’t surprised, he was becoming distant but it just hurts too much; we had so much together." I looked at my hands remembering everything. My reunion with Eric was the best day of my life.
**9 years ago (Gena is 7)**
r I walked outside of my house to the moving truck.
"1 boxes down, 521 boxes to go…" I groaned to myself. I was in charge of the boxes and my mom was in charge of the kitchen.
"Gena, Gena is that you?" I turned around to see a boy with brown hair, tall, reather muscular, and blue eyes. I know those blue eyes, why are they so familiar? "Gena do you remember me?" My eyes widened. It couldn’t be…
"Eric?" the boy smiled and nodded. I ran to him and gave him a big bear hug. "I can’t believe it! I thought I wouldn’t see you again!" I said in his chest.
"Well you better believe it, and I can’t believe YOU are here! How’s Zayn?" Eric said letting go of me. I stared at his face trying to figure out of I should tell him or not. Next thing I know Eric is shaking me. "Gena, HELLO! ANYONE IN THERE?!" he stopped shaking me. I nodded.
"Well, Zayn is okay, I guess. He stopped talking to me when school started." I said sadly.
"What? You started school 2 years ago… he hasn’t talked to you for 2 years? I can’t believe this.." he said while shaking his head. I stood there silently. I felt him wrap his arms around my 7 years old body, just there; holding me. This was nice, I always needed this. "You still have me. I’ll never leave your side…"
When he said he wouldn’t leave, he wasn’t kidding. At age 16, we started to go out. He knew I wanted to wait but I guess he couldn’t because I caught him shagging the blonde bimbo at a Halloween party. I left and didn’t talk to him . He kept calling me and didn’t stop. At school, he would be at my side and try to apologize. I would still ignore him. I had not other friends until one day, Eric was sick and Robi was a new student. Robi and I had all the same classes, we started becoming closer and closer. Since I met Robi, Eric didn’t talk to me again, deja vu? He wouldn’t talk to me face to face but he would still text me. I didn’t tell anyone about Eric
**SNAP** **SNAP** “Gena? Hello?” Liam said snapping his fingers.
"What?" I said getting out of the flashback.
"Your phone is ringing." Louis said giving me my phone. The phone call was from him. I picked it up.
"Hello…?"
