Chapter 5.

-

After about 10 minutes the screen changes.

And I was just getting good too.

"Hey! What happened!" I shout.

"Relax. This is just the scoreboard! The time limit on the game went off." He said quietly and chuckled.

"Oh." Well I'm embarrassed.

"W-we could play again.." He suggests.

Why not.

"Okay." I reply.

We play another two rounds and then hear a call from his mother.

"Zayn honey, dinner is ready! Ask Allison if she wants anything!"

What does she think we are kids or something?

Zayn looks over to me.

"Well you heard her I assume.." He says.

"Uh yeah.. No I better get going anyway. Thanks for inviting me over." I force a smile.

"Oh uhm no problem. Anytime you ever want to come over again it's fine." He extends his hand to mine.

When I shake his hand, I notice something on his forearm. Something red. Something.. is it a cut?

Does he cut too?

Uh wait a minute. I don't cut. I need to stop doing it anyway so I need to stop thinking about it.

I pull my hand away, breaking the shake.

He shows me to the door and once again shyly thanks me for coming over.

While walking home, I realize maybe I'm not the only one suffering from this pain.

Maybe I can talk to him about it.

Or maybe that would be awkward.

I guess maybe I can consider him a friend..

I guess..

Zayn's POV

-

"Uh yeah.. No I better get going anyway. Thanks for inviting me over." When she says this I can tell she's forcing her smile.

"Oh uhm no problem. Anytime you ever want to come over again it's fine." I extend my hand.

When I shake her hand, I notice she is looking at my arm.

Crap..

Did she see my cuts?

I hope not.

It's not like I did those recently. Last time I did that was almost a month ago.

I'm proud of myself.

Well at least she seems nice.

Maybe I can finally make a friend.. Even if it was all started by my mum.

Allison's POV

-

When I open the door, I see my parents sitting at the kitchen table.

They are both smiling, rather creepily.

"Uh, hi.." I say.

"Have you made a friend?" My mother asks.

How did she know where I was?

"I got your note." My dad says.

Oh yeah I almost forgot I left that note.

"Well no I haven't made any friends. The neighbors just wanted to get to know me better, I guess." I lie.

I guess.

Is Zayn a friend?

Maybe.

"Well did you have a good time?" My mom asks.

"Yeah, kinda.." I honestly say.

"Well good! I'm glad." She replies.

After she replies I turn towards the steps leading upstairs.

"Did you want dinner?" My dad calls after me.

"Uhm no, I ate food there." I lie and continue up to my room.

When I get to my room, I notice a bag on my bed.

I walk up to it and pick it up. It says Gap on it.

Maybe this is what they were awkwardly smiling at me for.

I open the bag and pull out a thin black leather jacket.

This actually is pretty cute!

I wonder how they knew I would like it..?

Unless they looked at the other clothes I got..

Okay my parents are going through my clothes?

Not cool..

-

A few hours go by of me sitting in my room contemplating tomorrow.

School is gonna start.. And I know no one.

I don't know any of the teachers or where my classrooms are.

Well at least I have my books.

I smirk at the thought.

It's 9:05 pm.

I better decide what to wear tomorrow.

I open my closet to find the bags of new clothing I still haven't put away.

I pull out the Forever 21 bag and grab the new studded black top. I find a pair of dark wash skinny jeans in my closet and my black combat boots.

I try on the outfit and look in the mirror.

I know in my heart this isn't me.....

..... but things have changed now.

I guess it's like wearing a mask..

I know it's a short chapter. The wifi at my house is broken so I'm not going to be able to update much except when I'm at school so yeah.
