New Guy

Chapter 13

Thalia's POV:

Dammit, dammit, dammit! I can't believe I just said that! He won't be able to remember her by himself now, he's just going to think that she's his best friend and that's it. Geez! I can't believe myself...

I storm out of the room, angry with myself. "Come on, Liam. We're leaving."

He stands up and follows me out. I glance over at Nicola who's sitting in a chair, covering her face and pouting.

"You coming?" I ask her, shifting uncomfortably, knowing I probably stuffed up her friendship with Niall.

She shakes her head and answers without looking up, "No. I'll make my own way home.."

"Well, if you change your mind just call us and we'll come get you.." I reply with a smile before walking out of the hospital.

Zayn's POV:

I decide I need to go visit Niall so that's exactly what I do. I'm already driving in the area so after a few corners and streets, I arrive and hop out of the car.

As I walk into the building, I find Nicola curled up in a ball on one of the armchairs. Crap.. Niall..

I walk over to her and crouch down so I'm roughly her height. "Are you okay? What happened?"

She looks up at me with shifty and uncomfortable glances before hissing, "I kissed Niall..."

"YOU WHAT?" I ask, astonished. I know Niall likes her but WHAT THE HELL?

"I know! Shut up!" She hisses and curls back up into her previous ball-like position on the chair.

I stand up and fall into the chair next to her, practically frozen with shock. Wow. She kissed Niall.

If only Nina would do that to m- NO, ZAYN! You can't like her, you're a bad boy. Bad boys are loners. I shake the thought away and focus on what happened today.. Strange things.. I turn my head to look at her and she's staring at me.

"Sup..?" I ask, wondering why she's so focused on me but she doesn't answer. She keeps looking at me before a smile forms on her face.

She musn't be looking at me. I turn my head to see Niall walking out of his room, slipping a shirt on and smiling. YES! He finally gets to leave!

"Niall!" I shout happily and stand up.

"Zayn! Awesome to see you, mate!" He says cheerfully. "Zayn, I remember you! Epic."

Nicola's POV:

I'm really starting to hate Amnesia. He remembers Nina and Zayn but not me?! I decide I have to stop feeling sorry for myself and be happy for him. I stand up and hug him before congratulating him.

"We'll take you home," Zayn says with a smile. "I brought my car."

And with that, Niall checks out and we're on our way to his place. When we arrive, we hop out of the car before Niall stops and slams his hand into his face. "Dammit, I don't have keys!"

"Oh, yeah. I guess you wouldn't.. Uh, you can stay at my place if you like. It's just down the road," I say with a smile and he nods.

"It's pretty dark out, I should probably head home. You guys have fun.." Zayn says with a wave and leaves. "See ya!"

As we walk back to my place, it's pretty quiet before I try and break the silence with something random. "Still don't remember me, huh?"

"Nope. You seem pretty nice though, so I don't have my doubts." He says with a smile before mumbling something else.
