Terrified

Chapter Eight

Zayn POV

I’d never admit it out loud, but Jessy’s words had hurt. Here I was, thinking we were finally getting along, but I guess I had been wrong. Why did she have to be rude to me? To the rest of the boys? Why couldn’t she just finally be nice to us? I could tell she wanted to.

I blamed Louis. if he hadn’t gone and gotten food for Roxy, they wouldn’t be so close ,and then, who knew, maybe Jessy and I would actually be friends. Maybe I could slowly make her come around, and actually love us.

I slammed my head against the seat in front of me, and Niall looked at me worriedly.

“Are you okay?” he asked.

“No,” I said. “I don’t know what happened. It had seemed as though Jessy and I were actually getting along, but now I just don’t know.”

Liam nodded once. “I wonder what’s going with Lou and Roxy. I mean, it seemed as though they hated each other earlier, but now they seem all buddy buddy.”

“Maybe they just clicked over their dinner,” Niall offered.

“Or maybe she’s hypnotizing him to make it seem as though they’re friends. Maybe she’ gonna try to take over the world with him, by making him rob banks and stuff,” Harry said quickly.  

I let out a sigh. I couldn’t believe what Harry was suggesting. Did he seriously just say that? Did he never think before he spoke.

I wasn’t sure exactly what was happening right now. I guess I was mainly sad because I was hoping Jessy and I could be friends. It was obvious she didn’t want to be friends, but that didn’t mean I didn’t want to be friends. And I would figure out a way to be friends with her, even if it was the last thing I did.

Roxy’s P.O.V

Lou and I sat at the front end of the plane, the boys diagonally behind us and Jessy at the back. Personally I was glad to be as far away from her as possible at the minute. I usually agreed with her, we were really close and normally understood each other, but just now she had been really rude!

I don’t get why she overreacted so badly, she was having coffee with Zayn why couldn’t I go for a snack with Louis? What is her problem with him? I know the others have been a bit...annoying, but Lou hasn’t done anything to harm her! Zayn’s been worse but she still hung out with him!

I decided it was better to just forget about it and have fun with Louis, when she realised she was wrong she could come apologise to me!

Lou and I talked for a while after the plane took off, about music, places, people, home. It was relaxing to talk to someone new, someone that wasn’t Jessy.

We spoke for almost an hour before I noticed how late it had gotten, we were landing in four hours so I told Louis I was tired and he agreed, I curled up on my side and fell into a well deserved sleep.

I awoke not that much later to see the very beginning of dawn through the plane window. The sun was just starting to rise and the clouds were tinted a pinky orange colour.  It looked beautiful.

I sat up a little and felt something fall from my shoulder. It was a grey/blue hoodie. It wasn’t mine, but I recognised it almost immediately. It was Louis’.

I looked over to him in the seat beside me and had to stifle a laugh.  He was lying back on his chair, now in a t-shirt since I had his hoodie, and on his cheek in pink sharpie was a new tattoo: I <3 Harry.
