Just a Little Death (Discontinued)

Chapter 8

“Me and all my friends we're all misunderstood they say we stand for nothing and there's no way we ever could.”

       Sunlight poured into the room as I wiped the sleep from my eyes. I yawned, and stretched my back out collapsing back onto the bed. I closed my eyes tightly blocking out the sun, and trying to block out the pounding ache in my head. My head really fucking hurt. I groaned. Sitting upright on my bed, and swinging my legs onto the floor, I padded over to the bathroom opening the mahogany door and gasping at what I saw. My face. What the fuck happened to my face?? I poked my cheek softly, wincing at the black eye left there. I had a pinky sized gash on my cheek. What the hell? Wha-

“You’re up,” Someone said softly.

I looked into the room I was previously in, I scanned the floppy brown haired green eyed boy holding a glass, registering him as Harry.

“Yes, I just got up,” I croaked. My throat was so dry, I shifted my feet noticing I was only in a  black tee shirt. HIS black tee shirt.

“Oh here,” Harry nervously handed me the glass of water he brought in. I awkwardly took it in my hands downing the whole thing. Yeah I know right soooo attractive.

“Uhm, did you?” I asked motioning to the shirt I was wearing. He gave me a small smile while scratching the back of his head.

“Yes, I put it on you, well- Louis did, I- you asked to wear it, last night,” he stammered, mumbling the last part. I blushed. Well then.

“Oh well uhm, thank you for, you know, letting me wear it,” I said quietly.

“Its nothing,” He smiled softly making my stomach flutter. Wait- my stomach is fluttering? Because of Harry? HA. More like because of the lack of food in my stomach. I forced a smile in Harry’s direction and padded over to the kitchen, greeting Louis who’s eyes glazed over noticing my black eye.

         I sat on the sofa with my sketchpad across my lap and the T.V. on. I was trying to draw eyes on the elf i sketched but it wasn’t working, everytime I tried one eye would look bigger than the other. Then when I tried to draw them smaller, it made the elf look like it had a twitching problem. I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose. Impossible.

“Need some help?” Zayn plopped down on the sofa close, but not too close to me. He motioned for me to give him the sketchpad, softly drawing bubbly eyes that fit the little elf perfectly.

“You know, you’re pretty good at this,” I smiled at him. He placed the sketchpad back in my hand brushing my fingers with his.

“I’ve had some time to practice,” he smirked at me. I finished my sketches with Zayn looking quietly over my shoulder.

“And there!” I giggled satisfied. He gave me a sly smile before scooting closer to me to get a better look. We were currently thigh to thigh touching with me leaning into him showing him the parts of my drawing that I thought looked the best. We laughed at the crooked hand I drew on the elf before he helped me to fix it. We then settled back into the sofa, watching Monsters Inside Me. I leaned over so my head rested on his shoulder and sighed contently. Why can’t life always be this easy? I wish it was this blissful all of the time, except all I’ve got is a crazy psycho boyfriend who hits on girls. Zayn looked at me for  a second before reaching out and massaging the creases away from my face.

“You okay?” He asked softly. I looked at him before giving him a smile, a REAL smile. Because in that moment with him there.. yes, I did feel okay.

  “I think he’s going to ask me,” Blaze said trying, and failing, to hide the excitement in her voice.

“Who?” I asked not really paying attention. We were sipping on slushies and looking through magazines, laying out and enjoying the hot weather.

“Sage, come on focus,” She said getting on her knees and taking my face in her hands so I could actually listen to what shes saying. I laughed pushing her off. And gestured for her to continue.

“Ok, so yesterday I hinted that I have never gone skating before, and that I’d really like to go before I shrivel up and get all wrinkly with crows feet, because my grandma’s like that she had a bad back and I don’t think id be able to skate with a bad back and plus it-“

“LAZE FOCUS,” I yelled laughing. I swear she has the attention span of a squirrel.

“Ok right hehe, okay so then when I said that, he said, ‘Yeah me too’”, She looked at me excitedly before squealing. i scratched the back of my head in amusement.

“Um, laze? That doesn’t really mean that hes going to ask you out,” I started out, disappointment clouded her features. “TODAY! I mean I don’t think hes going to ask you out today, because he left with Louis  and I think theyre going to be awhile,” I said quickly. She looked at me for a moment before jumping on me and squealing I laughed before joining her in excitement. Fuck.

Blaze jumped up before running into the house saying that she was going to go get dolled up for if he asks her today. I sighed deeply. And stalked into the house, I needed to talk to Harry.. I looked around the house then the garage, and saw that stupid me forgot that they weren’t even here. I facepalmed myself maybe 3 times before Zayn walked in.

“Um sweetheart? Is there a problem?” Zayn looked amused. I blushed deeply before trying to laugh it off, but instead sounded like a strangled donkey. Zayn gave me a weird look.

“Im fiiiiiine, I just forgot about something that’s all,” I replied lightheartedly. “By the way, do you know when Louis will be back?”

“Hmm, I’d say in about an hour or two?”

“Thanks!” I smiled and walked out of the room. What the hell was I supposed to do for two hours?

    I walked into my room and saw Blaze dancing around the room like her pants were on fire. I laughed loudly, not being able to hold it open any longer. She turned around and turned a deep shade of red.

“SAGE! DON’T YOU KNOCK?!” Blaze yelled over the loud music, I think her cheeks now resembled a beet, it was slowly spreading towards her whole face. I couldn’t stop laughing.

“ITS MY ROOM!” I managed to choke out. She cracked a smile at her own stupidity.

“Whatever, come help me with my makeup!” she laughed shaking her head.

     I was almost finished with her hair, when I heard a car door slam downstairs. I applied natural makeup, so it brought out her eyes. I didn’t want Harry to think that she did all of this for him. Oh right, Harry.

“Um Sage, I need to tell you something, something that your probably not going to like, seeing as you like him.. but-“ The front door opened downstairs, at the same time that Zayn came striding into the room.

“They’re home,” he stated casually. Blaze squealed forgetting all about my recent almost confession, Zayn gave her a weird look.

“Showtime!” She said cooly. She got up and strode out of the room. Zayn looked at me and pointed to the door with his thumb with a look that said ‘what the fuck is she on and where can I get some?’ I smiled shaking my head before following Blaze out the door.
