Halo (Zarry Fanfic)

Chapter 3

“Harp you there?”

I awake from my sleep by a familiar voice calling from outside my dorm, which followed a light tapping on the door. It was Clancy I knew that voice anywhere.

 “Yeah I am, come in!” I called back to her sitting up in bed turning and leaning my back against the wall with my calves rested on the edge of the bed. My blonde hair in manic waves, falling out of its loose bun I had put it in before I unintentionally felt the need for a nap. I think I was just emotionally drained. From finding Zayn and the random blonde, to going to coffee with Harry, to telling Harry that Zayn cheated on me. I think today had just been an extremely long day. By the darkness outside my window I could tell I had slept through dinner. Meaning all I have had to eat today was a bowl of cereal at Zayn’s dorm and a coffee with Harry. I could hear my stomach grumbling as Clancy strolled in and slid back onto the bed sitting next to me, our backs pressed up against the dull tan colored wall. I didn’t even notice what she was holding in her lap until she opened the cardboard lid and the smell of pizza filled my dorm.

 “I brought your favorite pizza, extra cheese just like you requested.” She said proudly as she had delivered what I had requested in the blatant text message I sent her after our phone conversation we had after Harry had left. Clancy was on her break at work down at the university bookshop when I called her and told her about what happened with Zayn. She sounded shocked and soothed me with comforting words then proceeding to tell me what she would do to Zayn next time she saw him. I think a kick to the balls is what pretty much summed it up.

 “Thanks loads Clancy, I haven’t eaten since breakfast.” I sighed grabbing a slice of pizza and taking a bite. Pizza has never tasted this good to me than in this moment.

 “So how are you feeling now?” Clancy questioned hesitantly while grabbing a piece for herself.

 “Still pretty shitty but now that I have slept that’s helped a little.”

 “I really wish this just didn’t happen to you Harp, you didn’t deserve this.” She said, her serious tone made me look at her.

 “I just don’t know what I did, you know? What did I do to make him want to fuck someone else behind my back?”

 “Harp this is not your fault!” Clancy exclaimed as she lent forward off the wall and turned her body towards me.

 “I just don’t know what to do now Clancy.”

 “Has he called you since this morning?”

 “Nope.” I say dully. I wasn’t sure if I even wanted him to call me. But the realization that he hadn’t hurt me even more.

 “What a dick.”

 “I know right! What a dick. ” I smiled slightly because that’s what everyone seems to be saying.

 “So what did you do after class today did you come straight back here?” which seemed reasonable because I looked like I had been sleeping and moping around for half the day.

 “No I went and had coffee with Harry.”

 “Harry?” Clancy repeated confused.

 “Yes, you know Harry, Liam’s friend Harry?”

 “Harry Styles?”

 “Yes. Harry Styles.” I breathed. His name rolling easily from my mouth.

 “Oh… why?”

 “Because I ran into him after I was running from Zayn’s dorm. He was being nice to me and walked me to class. He wanted to know if I was ok.”
