Just Friends

Chapter 19

"Fuck. Stop sneaking up on me like that." I panted. First he sneaks into my room and now this.

"Well are you or aren't you?" He asked sternly.

"Who told you that?"

"I know things. But you still didn't answer my question." I rolled my eyes. Sometime he was incredibly rude.

"Yes I am. Now, can I go? The girls are waiting for me-"

"Cancel it." He cut me off suddenly.

"Excuse me?"

"Cancel your date with Niall. You're not going."

I was taken back, shocked almost. I instantly became annoyed. Who did he think he is? Telling me who I can or can't hang out with? I don't think so.

"Why do you even care?" I said, narrowing my eyes.

"I just don't want you going."

"You can't tell me what I can and can't do Zayn."

His jaw tightened at my harsh tone, making his anger noticeable.

"Are you forgetting our little arrangement?"

"Of course not." I scoffed. " And I didn't forget the 'rules' you told me either. None of them prohibit me from seeing other people."

"I just don't think it's right for you to keep sleeping with me and then go on dates with Niall at the same time."

I laughed once without humor.

"Aren't you doing almost the same thing to Perrie?"

Zayn flinched when I said her name. He knew I was right which made him even more mad than before. His hands formed to fists and his eyes narrowed.

"You know what? Do whatever the fuck you want. I don't give a shit. I don't own you. At the end of the day you're just somebody I can use to satisfy my needs. Other than that, you are nothing to me." He spit then tuned away from me and stormed off down the hall, leaving me fuming with anger.

'You are nothing to me.'

The words echoed in my mind as I stood there in the hallway still too angry and shocked to move.

How could he say that to me?

Angry tears started to form in my eyes. I had to fight to keep them from falling. The last thing I needed was for somebody to take a picture of me crying for not only the world to see but for Zayn to see. He couldn't see that what he said actually hurt me.

My phone started to buzz in my pocket, making me break out of my shocked trance.

"Hello?"

"Hey. Where are you? We need to get going." It was Alex.

"I'm on my way down right now."

"Alright. Are you okay? You sound upset."

"Um, yeah. I'm fine." I said, making my voice slightly perky to pull off the lie.

"Okay. See you in a second."

"Yeah bye."

I hung up and made my way down to the lobby, past a small group fans, and down to the car as fast as I could.

I started to open my door when I heard a male voice call my name.

"Megan!" It was Niall. And Zayn was standing only inches away from him.

"Hey Niall. What's up?" I said, trying to ignore the fact that Zayn was listening to every word we were exchanging.

"I was just wondering if we were still on for tonight."

"Oh." I paused for a minuet then a smirk spread across my face. "Of course it is. I wouldn't cancel for anything or anybody."

"Okay good. I'll see you later!" He said, his smile was beaming as he walked towards the direction of the boys car. Zayn, however, stormed off like he did earlier in the hallway mumbling something unintelligible which gave me satisfaction.

Finally, we were all on out way to the venue. I was hounded by countless questions by Lola and Alex about Niall and our date tonight.

"Where is he taking you?"

"Is he paying?"

"How are you doing your hair?"

"Is it a fancy place?"

"Are you going to kiss him?"

I rolled my eyes at their overly excited behavior but answered them.

"But did you see his face? He looked so happy!" Lola giggled.

"That was so cute. But did you see Zayn's?" Alex asked, making my face fall.

"Yeah. He looked like he was angry."

"He's probably upset because he hasn't gotten laid in so long." Alex and Lola snickered. I forced out and awkward laugh quickly changed the subject to another subject.

------------------------------------------

"One hour till stage!" Alex announced. We had been chilling in our dressing room for the past two hours watching movies. Well, they did at least. My mind was elsewhere.

'You are nothing to me.'

Zayn's words were still replaying in my head since our fight in the hall. I couldn't help but still feel angry at him for being so heartless.

I shouldn't be upset though. I knew what I was getting myself into when I agreed to this whole arrangement but, it still hurt.

The girls were discussing the film they had just finished when I got a text. I quickly checked to see who it was from.

* Meet me in dressing room number six. Now. -Zayn*

I read the text over a few times to make sure I wasn't just seeing things. After I was positive I was reading it correctly, I replied.

* I don't want to. -Megan*

* The rules may not say anything about dating other people, but they do say that you can't say no to me. Come. Now. -Zayn*

I rolled my eyes at the text but got up anyways and snuck away from the girls, making my way down to dressing room number six.

I opened the door and walked inside. I couldn't see Zayn anywhere.

"Zayn? Hello?"

No answer.

I shrugged and turned to walk out the door when I was suddenly forced against the wall.

"You love pissing me off, don't you?"
