I go back upstairs and the room smells like shampoo. Acacia did clean the room, thank God, at fucking least. I look around for a few seconds trying to remember why I came upstairs, I give up and throw myself on the bed. As soon as I inhale I can smell Harry's cologne, I know how incredibly wrong this is, but I decide to close my eyes and travel back to the sensation he gives me. His fingers tickling the back of my ear and his dry hands sliding down towards my finger tips and bringing them around his neck. My legs tighten at the memory and I bury it inside my mind before it becomes something else.

I pull myself out of bed and take a long hot shower before calling Daniel. It's 4pm and he doesn't answer my calls. If it was Harry he would pick up, even if it was just because he wants to do stuff to or with me. I am 100% sure he would. He'd probably take me to eat burgers while he smokes a couple of cigarettes. Then he'd drive somewhere private and make all the sexual tension between us vanish. Even though we've done some stuff, it ever seems to go, it just becomes stronger because he always comes back for more.

My mind starts putting ideas in my head, but I decide against them and give Daniel another call. It goes straight to voice mail. I call Fara, but she's catching up with school work. I call Oceane and she picks up right away.

"Get off!" I can hear Zayn's voice through the phone and I know she's still with Zayn.

"Hello to you too." I say. 

"Hey, what's up." My sister says.

"Nothing, I was wondering if we could do something because Daniel isn't picking up." My tone is very shy because I know what being interrupted by fucking phone is like.

"Sure, we can go shopping, if the credit card still has money. If it doesn't we could just go see a movie or something." 

"We still have a couple of hundreds." I laugh. "Tell Zayn to drive us."

"Perfect, we'll be there soon, be ready."

 I shower and change quickly, putting on a simple outfit. They get here really soon.

"Hello couple." I mock while I get on the passenger's seat.

They laugh. "We're going to third street." Zayn says and I nod. I just want to go out.

We get there and I don't even notice because I've been scrolling through my instagram feed. We find a good parking lot. I love walking through the stores and restaurants, even if I'm looking stupid like a third wheeler I don't even care, I'm actually really happy being with Zayn and Oceane here. They both go inside a store and I follow them. The clothes inside are so beautiful, all cream, beige, white, black, and light colors. I'm in love with it. I grab a few tops and Oceane goes to the bathroom. 

"I don't think this one is that pretty." I tell Zayn as I get out of the dresser.

"Looks great actually." Zayn analyzes the top and I really want to talk to him.

"I..um..need to talk to you." His eyes move back to my face and I grab the tops edge and start picking on it.

"Whatever you need, just say." Relieve fulfills my body.

"It's about Harry. I just..." Zayn walks towards me and hold my head up with both of his hands.

I feel terrified because his grip is so harsh. It's like he's mad at me.

"Raine, I adore you and you know I only want the best for you. Fucking stop fooling around with him, you're getting yourself into something you're not going to be able to get out of and I don't want you to be hurt." He notices he's grabbing me too harshly and loosens his grip a bit. His olive eyes looks so serious and I really want to tell him to shave. "He's bad for you and for everyone around him. He's a dick head and a fucking asshole so stop Raine. He's my friend and I respect him, but you're my little sister and I need to protect you from guys like him. He wants you just to fuck you and that's it. Let it go. Go back to your boyfriend, someone who won't hurt you in any fucking way. Okay?" 

I resist the tears and nod. A shed a single tear when I get inside the dressing room, obviously not because of Harry, but because of Zayn. I thought he would hear me out and talk to me decently, not  just be so cruel about it. I change back to my clothing and pay for the top. 

When Oceane comes back she tries on a few dresses and buys a sequin white one that looks amazing on her. They both agree on eating something before heading back home. I haven't said a word since Zayn's speech.

Oceane pays for everything, we walk out of the store and I didn't realize we've been in there for so long. The sun is literally setting. The air outside is hot and smells like sweat because of all the people shopping, it's suffocating. 

"OMG!" Oceane shouts, making Zayn and me freak out. "Liam! How are you?!" She says and I spot Liam sitting on a table with a long haired blonde girl. He stands up and hugs Oceane, I walk close to him and kiss him on the cheek. When I look at Zayn, I know he's trying really hard not to punch him in the face.

"Are you guys eating? Sit with us if you are." He offers and before Zayn can deny the offer, Oceane is already sitting. We ask the waiter for two extra chair and Zayn is going to explode. 

"What do you wish to drink?" The waitress asks.

"Lemonade please." I say.

"Me too." Oceane says.

"Two long islands for me please." Zayn says, all Liam, Oceane and the blonde girl look at Zayn.

"Can I please see your ID." The waitress asks and Zayn digs inside his pocket. He takes out his ID and the waitress awkwardly leans down, casually showing all her cleavage.

We get out lemonades and I order some salad. I can't help but notice how naturally flirty Oceane is, she unconsciously puts her hand on Liam's legs and plays with her hair and bites her lips. I wonder if I'm like that too. I would normally feel bad for Zayn and invent an exit stragedy for him, but since he was so fucking mean I will not.

Two hours pass by until we leave.

"It was a great day, I enjoyed it so much." Oceane says and she gets inside the car.

"Did you Sea? Did you enjoy this day?" Zayn says and I can hear the anger on his voice, I really don't want to be here if they fight.

"What's your problem now? I thought we were having a good day, together." Oceane asks and Zayn starts to drive. Hopefully he isn't drunk, I don't think so.

"Yes! Oh God! A great day, but not for me and you, for you and Liam maybe." The sarcasm in his tone is incredibly mean.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Oceane is truly clueless. 

"It means you were all over him, and I was right there Sea!" Shit is going down tonight.

"I was not all over Liam, you're misunderstanding everything!" She shouts. 

Fights are so annoying I wish I could throw them outside of the car.

"Oh please, you were touching him just like you used to touch me and you were biting your lips and playing with your hair and putting your hands on his legs and being fucking perfect in front of him. That was exactly what you were doing when we first met at Raine's birthday. I fucking remember that." Zayn is actually so sweet I might only throw Oceane out the window.

"I remember too, and you were staring at me so weirdly I thought you were obsessed with me." Oceane laughs. 

Why the fuck is she laughing?

I notice Zayn smirking.

"You better not  do that to me again." He demands.

"I won't." Oceane says.

My phone vibrates and it's a text from my mother.

We miss you girls so much! 

 I look at my phone and it's almost 8pm and Daniel hasn't called me.
