Chloe's P.O.V.

     Zayn helps me put all of the groceries into the trunk and we get back into the car.  I look over at him and smile while starting the car and putting the radio on.  My heart twists as the familiar tune comes on to me and Zayn's song.  I look over at him and he is flashing his perfect winning smile at me.  I rip my eyes off of him and I focus on the road.  Thoughts run through my head and I think about to the last time I saw him and that's when I got home.  Zayn used to be the one that I would always go to when I needed to get away and he was always there to comfort me.

     It hurts my heart that I know that he has hurt me so much that I probably will never be able to forgive him and I wish everyday that I could.  He was my first love and the one that took my virginity back when I was fourteen years old.  I loved him so much that it physically hurt when I didn't see him all that time and it hurts now because I am so deeply in love with Harry and I want to build a life with Harry and I am having his child...our child.  Harry was my dream guy since I met Amy and he still is.  

     He makes me feel like a princess and protected every day.  He is the stars to my night and the sun to my day.  He makes me feel wanted but not recently.  I have this feeling in my gut that he is doing something that he shouldn't be and that I'm not enough for him any more.  That's the confusing part.

     I push those thoughts to the back of my mind as we pull up to the house and I don't see Harry's black range rover...what a shocker.  I park my car and we both get out and carry in the groceries.  Zayn sets them on the counter and he looks around.  

Me: Would you like a tour?

Zayn: Yeah.

     I begin to show Zayn the entire house and the last room I show him is the nursery.

Zayn: Hove you picked a name?

Me: Not yet.  I haven't decided.

Zayn: Well I have one.

Me: You do?  What is it?

Zayn: I think Savannah is pretty.

Me: I like that!  I'll talk to Harry.

     Zayn half smiles and we head back downstairs.  I begin making dinner which is hamburgers and Zayn helps me and I smile and laugh at his silly jokes.  This is what I've missed about Zayn.  He knows how I am and he makes me forget all of my worries.  Deep down I will always have love for him but I love Harry more than anything even though everything he has done to me.

     My phone vibrates and it's a text from Harry.

Harry: Hey babe.  I'll be home in twenty minutes.

Me: Okay.

     I tell Zayn the news and he nods while grabbing his leather jacket.

Me: Do you want me to take you anywhere?

Zayn: No, I'll be okay.  Can I have a hug though?

     I smile at his request and I pull him into a hug.  He holds me tight and I take in his minty but smoky scent.  I've missed that.  I let go of him and he smiles while walking out the front door.  Ugh, this is so confusing.

     Soon enough, Harry comes home and he stumbles through the door and I can tell that he is...drunk.
