Those Eyes... (Zerrie Fanfic)

Chapter 33

Chapter 33:

"You were so good!" "Wow! Never thought you would pull it off!" "Great job!"

Selena was congratulated with showers of compliments when the show ended, everyone thought I had backed out and abandoned the show because of my nerves and the only person that didn't give me a cold shoulder was Selena. After all she did get what she wanted and I was very happy for her but very gutted that I didn't get a chance. I had no time to dwell on that because what I was trying to do was find that person who kept sending me texts, he or she must be here tonight. The problem was how was I supposed to find that stranger. Most people were either too busy congratulating each other or going home, my mum was with Selena too, she didn't even talk to me once. Probably disappointed.

"Are you alright?" Zayn asked for the hundredth time.

"Yes!"

"No you're not."

"Then why ask?" I snapped back, trying to concentrate on the faces to see if any of them looked suspicious but Zayn turned my face around.

"What's bothering you?"

"Nothing Zayn. I am just upset okay."

"Tell me."

I actually thought of telling him then, he had the right to know too but I just didn't want to risk it. What if he did leave me, that would be worse than this.

"I am sad about the holidays okay. I will miss you so much."

"No you won't because you'll be coming with me to the countryside."

"No I won't. My mum's already planned -

"Is that who I think it is?" Jonnie butted in, sounding astounded. Zayn turned around to get a proper look at him and after some time of staring, both boys jumped at each other in a big hug.

"No way! Jonnie you've grown!"

"Well nah then so have you!"

This was oddly surprising, they knew each other?

"You guys have met before?" I asked.

"Of course! Spent my whole childhood with this big guy!" Zayn exclaimed, his eyes lighting bright.

"We were best chums!"

"So we're not anymore?" Zayn teased.

"Depends... Do you still collect comics?"

"Do you doubt me?"

Zayn and Jonnie erupted in fits of laughter. Zayn knew Jonnie since he was a child? How was that possible?

"But Zayn's never been to Weymouth have you Zayn?" I asked, confused.

"My sister clearly doesn't know me well. I was born here in London you silly muffin!"

"No you weren't! I swear you weren't!"

"Perrie's your sister?" Zayn asked.

"Unfortunately the answer is yes."

I elbowed Jonnie hard, not that it affected him.

"How is she?"

"Who's she?" I asked again, they were making no sense.

"She is fine. Well after what Perrie did I am not too sure she's too happy."

"I didn't do anything Jonnie! I was locked -

"Where is she?"

"There with Selena."

Jonnie pointed to my mum and they both left to meet her, completely ignoring me and leaving me behind. Zayn knew my mum too? This was more shocking than the texts. I watched as Zayn tapped my mum's shoulder and stood still, waiting for her to turn around.
