Chapter 14

Zayn's POV

I unlocked my car and got out. The cool air breezed past me. I ran a hand through my quiff. This felt just like the old days back in my town. You could hear the music of the club thumping from a distance.

I was going to meet Niall and some of my old friends here. Everything that happened with Harry today, got me thinking. I just need to let things go. Why did I even care if I hurt Brooke's feelings or not. I needed money and I was going to get that. All I have to do is keep my mouth shut.

I handed my car of to valet. I buried my hands in my pocket and strode towards the entrance of the pub. I showed my ID to the bouncer and he let me in. I stepped into the crowded pub. The music pulsated in sync with my heart. It felt like I had an extra heart all together. I made my way to the far end where the booths were.

I spotted Niall's blonde hair in one of the booths. It suddenly felt like old times again. We'd meet at pubs, get drunk and have a good time. "Hi guys." I announced my arrival and every one turned to stare at me.

"Hey buddy." Niall got up and we did a man-hug.

"Hi Liam." I addressed him. Liam and Niall were really good friends of mine. It was good to see them. My eyes scanned the other two boys sitting beside them. One had sandy brown hair all towsled. He had pure English looks.

"I'm Louis." he held his hand out and I shook it.

"Zayn."

My eyes landed on the curly mess beside him and I felt my blood boil. Harry Underwear Styles.

"What are you doing here?" I narrowed my eyes at him. Seeing him right now was the last thing I wanted. I came here to have fun. Not to see his fucking face again.

"Nice to see you too Zayn." he smiled sardonically.

"You guys know each other?" Niall asked.

"What is he doing here Niall?" I hissed at the blonde.

"Liam invited us." Louis answered.

"Yeah. I met them last week. They're fun. I thought they'd fit in our group really well." Liam said nervously.

I sat down without saying another word. I just hope I don't rip Harry's head off. "Good to see you guys." I smiled at Liam and Niall, completely ignoring Harry and Louis.

Louis seemed like a good lad but the fact that he came with Harry made me dislike him. Harry was sitting on one end of the couch opposite to me. And I was sitting on the other.

"So what do you do Louis?" I asked.

"He owns a tattoo parlour." Niall answered.

"Cool, maybe I can get one sometime." I said looking around the dance floor.

"Yeah. I'd love to do one for you." he chirped in that accent.

"Aren't we having drinks?" I asked.

"They're coming." Liam said sliding his phone open. "There they are."

"Here you go guys. A Tequila for every one." the familiar voice hit my ear. I glanced up as the girl placed our drinks down. She was wearing a purple dress with a deep neck. Her brown hair cascaded around her face as she placed the tray down.

She slid into the booth next to Harry. Her face came into view and my stomach flipped. Brooke Smith.

"Brooke?"

"Zayn? What are you doing here?" she asked laughing. She was tipsy. And these jerks sent her to get more shots.

"I'm here with my friends." I gestured to Niall and Liam. I raised my eye brows at her for her explanation.
