My Best Friend's Brother

Chapter 8

-Zayn

"How long are you gonna keep ignoring him?" He turns me around and puts his hands on my waist.

"Until he realizes how wrong it was to mess up our realationship!" He rolls his eyes.

"Don't you think it's been long enough?" I shake my head and look up at him.

"It's only been a day! It needs to soak in his mind. He needs to know how it feels to be hurt." Harry's grip tightens on my waist.

"I want him to feel like he needs me more than I need him." I lean in and kiss him then then he pulls away with a smile.

"Fine. But try not to hurt him too much, he is your brother."

"I know, I just want him to realize that I can be on my own and I don't need to rely on him."

"Right." Harry nods, agreeing with me.

"And to get back at him." I murmur under my breath and hope that Harry didn't hear that part.

"Then how are we going to eat? You said you wanted pancakes!" He sighs and sits on my bed.

We can just go to a restaurant." I climb over my bed and open the window.

"Zayn? What are you doing?" I get a leg out but Harry stops me.

"It's fine! I'm totally safe!" I start to climb down but he stops me again.

"Harry."

"Let me go first so I can catch you in case you fall."

"Fine." I sit back in the bed and wait for Harry.

"Okay, you can come down now!" I look out and see him on the grass. I start to climb down but I foot gets caught causing me to slip.

"Harry!" I fall down into his open arms with a grunt.

"Don't worry. I'll always catch you when you fall." He smiles down at me and sets me on the ground. We rush over to Harry's car and he quickly drives away.

-Javadd

I pace back and forth in the living room just thinking of a way to apologize.

"J, why are you pacing?" Niall calls from the couch as he's watching football.

"Thinking."

"About?"

"Zayn hasn't talked to me all morning. He's been in his room and I want to apologize." He shrugs.

"Well, if you feel ready then do it." I nod and walk up to his room and knock on the door.

"Zayn? Can we talk? You know, brother to brother?" I don't hear a response back so I knock again.

"Zayn?" The response remains the same. I open his door to find an empty bedroom with an open window. I rush over to the window and pull at the ladder.

"Shit." I whisper to myself.

"He left through a window just to avoid me." I feel upset all over again and walk downstairs.

"What happened?" Niall turns off the telly and rushes to me.

"He left with Harry out the window. He didn't want to even make any type of contact with me that's why he escaped through the window." I cry into Niall's arms.

"It's gonna be okay." He rubs my back and tries to calm me down.

"No, it's not! He hates me!" I cry harder then look up at Niall.

"Distract me."

"Huh?" He scratches the back of his neck in confusion.

"I want this feeling off my mind and the only way is for you to distract me."

"But I don't know ho-" I push my lips on to his and push him on the couch.

-Harry

I lace Zayn's fingers with mine as I drive up to his house.

"I think it was really nice of you to get your brother breakfast." I shrug and open the door.

"I'm a good brother unlike him." Harry sighs and locks the car then we walk back over to my window.

"What the bloody hell?" Zayn looks up and then back at me.

"Mum's at work so the only person who could have done this was Javadd!" He looks red in the face but then calms down.

"He needs me more than I need him." He stomps his foot down and walks to the front door. He fishes his keys out of his pockets but before putting it in the keyhole he stops and turns to me.

"I'll drop the food down on the coffee table and we can go upstairs. Sound good?" I nod and he opens the door. We both gasp and Zayn drops the container of food.

"Oh, my." I look over at Zayn with wide eyes. Javadd pulls away from Niall and scrambles to get his shirt on.

"We should probably go now." Zayn pulls me upstairs but I just can't put my finger around why I keep looking.
