Chapter 26. Can't be Love

Zayn's P.O.V

Me and the boys, minus Harry, are all at the park doing, well, nothing in particular. Just hanging out and talking. Then the topic about Aria and I came up again "Are you going to tell her?" Liam asks.

"I don't know" I say, biting my lip nervously.

"Why do you like her? She's only causing trouble for you and you're all soft and weak now Zayn!" Louis suddenly yells.

I was shocked by his outburst, unable to say anything. We were all quiet for a while then Louis got up from the grass and stormed off, pulling his phone out of his pocket and calling someone.

"Well" Niall clears his throat awkwardly "That was weird"

"Yeah" Says Liam.

I groan "What is wrong with them two? They are just slipping away and when they are here they act like a bunch of bratty annoying girls, especially Louis, he's always sulking in a corner quietly when Aria is around" I say, shaking my head in annoyance.

"Well, if you have such a huge problem with me you could've just told me" I turn to see Harry, he looked like he was about to cry, which is very rare.

I felt guilt wash over me "No Haz I-"

"I'm not done yet Zayn. You think you're so much better than everyone and you think you can get everything you want. Well congratulations you're going to get what you want again" Harry says, his tone dripping with hate and it stung like venom.

"What?" I ask, completely confused.

"Aria doesn't like me, I'm guessing she likes you too" Harry says, shaking his head in disbelief.

"How do you know?" I ask.

"I'm guessing" He says before walking away.

I raise an eyebrow and stare at the floor then look over at Niall and Liam. They were just staring at me blankly, I sigh "You guys want to hate me too?" I ask.

"Nah I love you Zayn" Niall says, opening his arms up but not bothering to get up.

"Shut up Niall" I say, rolling my eyes.

He mutters something under his breath before picking off bits of grass. I turn to Liam "And you?" I ask.

"Why don't you just talk to him?" Liam asks, trying to sound calm but the irritation was obvious.

"'Cause there's nothing to say" I say, shrugging.

"Fine do what you want" Liam grumbles, before getting up.

"Where are you going?" I ask.

"Lunch, I'm hungry" Liam says.

Niall eyes light up and he quickly scrambles to his feet and follows Liam. I sigh, all alone. I start walking out of the park when I randomly decide to go to the library. I know, Zayn Malik going to the library, everyone faint now. Probably Aria might be there, I smile and walk in. The warm air inside here was comforting, I see Aria stacking some books on a shelf so I walk quietly over to her. She had her back to me and she didn't notice my presence so I put my hands over her eyes "Guess who?" I ask.

"Niall?"

"Aria!" I exclaim, and pull a hand off her face and give her long braided her a rough tug.

"Ow!" She squeaks.

She turns around and gives me an angry look, she had dark circles under her eyes and her face didn't have its usual shine, she was pale. I furrow my eyebrows "You look sick" I comment.
