Chapter Seventy-Four

(Next update on Thursday.!)

Elena's POV

I adjust the sun glasses on my eyes as I stare out the window of the cab.

I try and sit as far away from Zayn in the car as possible. I can't believe I let him get to me like that last night. I probably gave him the wrong idea.. he needs to see Samantha and maybe that'll change his feeling for me.

"Elena I know you are probably upset with me right now but I need you, ok? I'm freaking out right now." Zayn says from besides me, I turn my head to look at him as he runs nervous hands through his hair.

"What's the worst that could happen? You aren't the reason she left before," I tell him, "She loves you and I doubt she ever stopped. I bet when she sees you she'll probably remember all the love she has for you, she probably never even forgot it."

"Maybe I should have bought flowers or chocolate or both," He sighs.

"Stop. Don't stress over this, okay? All you need to bring is yourself. Everything will be fine, I promise." I reassure him.

"We're here." The driver says, I look over at Zayn and I can see him begin to panic.

"This was a bad idea," he shakes his head, "Let's just go home, I change my mind."

"No, Zayn. You need to see her, if you don't get out of this car and see her you'll regret it so much."

"Come back for us in a hour." I tell the driver and he nods, I pull Zayn out of the car and he watches as the car drives away.

"Please don't make me do this." He pleads.

"Stop, okay? You've been in love with this girl for as long as you can remember and you want to back out now? She's right there," I point at the building, "She's so close to you and you want to chicken out?" I cock my head to the side as I look at him.

"You're right." He says, looking at the ground. "I need to do this."

He slowly makes his way up to the door and pushes it open causing a bell to ring.

"Be with you in a minute!" Someone calls from behind the counter. she's crouched down with her back towards us.

"Sorry about that, what would you like-" she stands and turns to face us but stops dead in her tracks, my mouth opens slightly an her hair falls from behind her ear to the front of her face.

"Sammy.."

Zayn's POV

"Sammy.." My heart feels like it's going to jump out of my heart just at the sight of her.

"Oh my god.." She whispers, bringing her hand up to mouth.

She quickly makes her way around the counter and jumps into my arms.

"You found me." She says in my neck.

"Sam?" A male voice says from behind her.

She pulls away from me to turn to the source of the voice, "Evan."

"Who's this?" He asks her, she looks back at Elena and then to me.

"This is Zayn and," she looks at Elena.

"I'm Elena." The two of them shake hands.

"This is Zayn and Elena, they came from England." Sam tells him.

"Oh, hi. I'm Evan." He walks over to Elena and I and shakes our hands.

He walks back over to Sam and puts his arm around her waist. Her gaze drops to the ground.

No.. please no..

"Wait, is he.. is Evan your boyfriend?" Elena ask the question that I don't want to hear the answer to.

She nods her head, "Yes.."

My heart falls to my stomach and I feel like the room is getting smaller.

When her watery eyes meet mine I lose it. I storm out of the bakery and the last thing I hear is Samantha calling my name but I ignore her and keep running as far as I can from the god awful place.

Why me? I keep asking myself, why me?
