Carter's POV:
"I can't breathe" I pant and stand outside of the restaurant with Tanner hovering over me in an attempt to calm me down.
"It's okay - just breathe. What's wrong?" she says desperately and shake my head and kneel down on the concrete.
"Carter..."
"Not now Tanner, please"
"I told you to stay away from him..." she says lightly and I sigh.
"I know"
"I don't mean to sound rude -"
"Well you're coming out that way"
"Sorry I'm trying to help you..." she states and bury my face into my palms.
"You're not doing a good job Tanner just please leave me alone..." I beg her and she doesn't say anything, she sits down on the ground next to me instead and I smile past the tears.
She could have left - but she stayed.
"Do you know who she is anyway?"
"Anna"
"You know her?" I groan and lean my head on her shoulder and she giggles.
"She's Zayn's ex who we swore he wanted nothing to do with ever again even though he was madly in love with her. Weird that their together because she has a boyfriend." she explains and I shrug.
"That's why he left so he could come and be with her"
"You don't know that..." she attempts.
But we both knew that's what actually happened.
Zayn's POV:
"I had a great night" Anna states smiling and sipping from her glass. I smile and open the check before placing the correct amount of dollars in the slip. I stand up and she gathers her things before standing also, we walk close to each other - every so often my hand brushes hers and I get butterflies.
"So where to now?" she asks smiling and I open the door to see Tanner and Carter curled up right outside the restaurant next to each other. Carter's crying and my heart breaks.
"Zayn?" Anna asks confused as I continue to stare in their direction.
"Right sorry, what were you saying?"
"I was wondering where we were goin-"
"I'm sorry, I had a really great time tonight but I have to fix something..." I stare at Carter and Tanner who have refused to look even in this direction.
"What?"
"I'm sorry..."
"What do you have to fix Zayn? If you leave me right now we have no chance of being together!" she growls and I nod and shrug.
"It's alright...I found someone..." I smile and walk over to them.
Hopefully she'll hear what I have to say?
