Dont Float Away - { Zayn Malik }

“I.. I love you.” she says quietly, not able to look at my eyes

“What?” I whisper

“Zayn, I have always loved you. Always.” She says, crying softly

“Dont cry Rhi,” I said stepping closer to her, gently wiping her tears.

“I know we've been best friends for ages, but I cant hide my feelings anymore and I don’t want to.” She sobs. “I know you don’t feel the same way, but I cant pretend everything is fine. I have feelings, too.” She says burying her head in her hands.

“Please, don’t cry... I don’t want you to get cold.” I say, stunned and in loss for words by the things she just said.

“Baby! Are you coming inside?” I hear Madelyn call and I look back at Rhiannon. She's hastily wiping away her tears

“Zayn, go, I'm sorry.” She says taking a deep breath

“No, Rhiannon, I...” I whisper, but she cuts me off.

“Your girlfriend is waiting. Go, Zayn. You have to be with her. If she makes you happy, then I'm happy for you.” She says and strokes my cheek gently. I kiss her palm slightly, and she frowns. Every time she does that, a little V shapes between her eyebrows and it's just adorable. I smile slightly and pull her into a hug. I felt how she pulled me tightly against her body, and suddenly I felt so warm. So good. I felt like someone really cared about me, and I realized I cared about her too. Almost too much..

“Zayn!” Madelyn yells, and Rhiannon let me go. No, don’t let me go! She sneezes and I give her my tissue. “No..” she protests, but I smile and she takes it anyway.

“Rhiannon, I...” I try to say, but she cuts me off, again.

“Zayn, if I float away, I don’t expect you to chase after me. Because no one ever does.” She whispers. I take her hand, but she turns around and walks away. I watched helplessly as she trudged through the snow.

“I love you too..” I whispered finally.

“ZAYN!” Madelyn yells,

I take off my coat and look at my shoes.

“Did you hug that wormtail?” She says in disgust.

“Don't call her a name like that.” I said, frowning.

“What? She's a slime. She wants you, but you’re mine. You hear me Zayn Malik? You’re mine.” Madelyn said crossing her arms.

“I belong to no one. Rhiannon is not a wormtail, she's not a slime. Don't you dare call her that.” I said shooting her a glare.

“What?! You’re being just horrible! I hate you! You’re defending that unimportant and ugly slug, and not me?” She yells and hits my chest.

“Stop it Madelyn, don’t say that about her! She's beautiful, amazing, and perfect. She's everything I like in a girl!” I shout and she startles

“What did you just say? Are you shouting at me?” She whispers, and I run a hand through my hair. What does she expect? “I hate you Zayn.” She hisses.

“I don’t hate you, but I sure don’t love you.” I said and left her standing by the front door. I rushed to my suitcase and started throwing things into it.

“You are not leaving me.” Madelyn burst in and grabs my hand. She takes me stuff out of the suitcase and throws them back into their drawers.

“Fine.” I say and walk out of the room.

“If you leave me, I will never leave you alone.” She yells

I stopped, and turned towards her; looking her directly in the eye. “I just don’t understand how I could live with this arrogant and selfish girl for such a long time. I just don’t get it.” I said. “I loved you, but now its over. I'm sick of your drama every single day. I'm sick of you hating on me so much.” I said and grabbed my car keys. As I try to walk out the door, she grabs my hand and pulls me back desperately.

“You wont fine anyone better than me, Zayn.” She whispers.

“I already did.” I say and leave. I know exactly where I have to go and what I have to do.

“Rhiannon!” I hit her door “Rhiannon, open!” I shout. The door opened and I saw her, wearing only her pajamas.

“Hey..” She whispers, her eyes red and puffy.

“Oh Rhi..” I whisper and pull her into a hug. “Get dressed. Let's go.” I say and kiss the top of her head. Without a question she goes to her room, and soon she comes back looking like a princess.

“Wait, we're going out? I need makeup. Can you-”

“You don’t need any makeup. You’re stunning.” I said and grabbed her hand. We rushed out of her flat and climbed into my car. She sat silently next to me, and I couldn't stop smiling. This is right.

“Where are we going?” She asks and looks at me, raising an eyebrow as I was already staring.

“I love you too..” I whispered and smiled broadly. “I have always loved you and I will love you forever.” I said “And we're going away, wherever we want. Just you and me. So please, don’t float away.” I whispered “I love you!” I shout again. She giggles and nods “I LOVE YOUUU!” I yell even louder.

“I won't. I love you too, Zayn.” She said; the most beautiful words in the world.
