Chapter 51

Emily's POV

"Emily! Wait up!" Ed screamed as he caught up to me. I quickly fell on his chest and he caught me in his arms as he hugged me tight. I cried into his chest for what felt like eternity.

Zayn... how dare he. How dare he accuse me of such things when I did all of these for him. I chose to be away from my cousin, whom I love the most in this world, for him. For his career, his dream. And all I get is this.

Yeah, I get it. I left him unexpectedly blah blah blah.... but that does not mean he can say all those rude words to me. No, never.

"It hurts Ed... hearing him say all those words." I sobbed on my cousin's chest.

"Say what? Whatever it is, I bet he didn't me--"

"He meant it! He did Ed. I saw it in his eyes. But even after all those things..."  I said, cutting him.

"I still love him." I grumbled.

"What did he say, Emily?" Ed asked.

"Things I shouldn't have said and definitely do not mean." A voice boomed from the other end of the hallway.

I looked over Ed's shoulder as he turned around only to see Zayn standing at the end of the hallway. His face was filled with guilt and depression.

I started weighing my options: if I walk up to him and slap him in the face, I would be close to him and who knows what he might do. He might pull be back in his arms and I will surely fall for him all over again and forgive him in a blink of an eye.

Whereas if I stay here and hide behind Ed's back, the chances of actually trying to limit my contact with him were much greater. The chances of falling for him and forgive him that easily would be diminished.

My grip on Ed's arm tightened a little as I tensed up and he got the clue.

"Mate, not now!" Ed hissed at Zayn.

"No. There's no better time to do this." He said, shaking his head as he briskly walked over to me.

My grip on Ed's arm tightened a little more but in a lightning speed, one of Zayn's arms was around my waist, the other one tilting my chin up as I felt his soft lips touch mine.

His lips, so soft. His strong arms wrapped behind me, feeling like home. Stop it Emily! You can't fall for him that quickly. 

It took every single fibre in me to push him away and slap him hard across the face.

"How dare you!" I sobbed as I hit his chest repeatedly, not daring to have eye contact with him because I know I'll just break down further.

"You can't do that! One minute you're calling me a whore, a user, basically a fucked-up bitch and then the next second you're kissing me?! How fucked up is your mind, Zayn?!" 

Tears were falling out of my eyes uncontrollably as I repeatedly hit his chest over and over and over again. But he doesn't stop me. Ed strained me and held me down. He went in between Zayn and I to stop me from physically hurting him further.

"I'm so sorry Emily." Zayn sobbed, his eyes are probably as red as mine but not as puffy. Tears coming out of his eyes uncontrollably as well.

"I don't ever want to see you again Zayn! Never! Go back to your fucking new girlfriend, Perrie!"

"Nothing's going on between us! She's just my best friend!" Zayn sternly said as he walked over to me and cupped cheeks.

I swat his hands off of me as I glared at him..
