Blush

Chapter 7

"Hi, I'm Ari." I said, waving.

I heard a chorus of heys and hellos.

"Come in." I motioned to the door.

I saw Harry whisper something into Zayn's ear, but I didn't question him.

They followed me as I gave them a tour of the house.

They soon got comfortable, and turned on the television. Zayn started going up the stairs while I watched the guys lay down on the couches. Right before I turned around I saw Harry shoot me a wink as I groaned turning around, followed by a throaty chuckle from him.

I looked up the stairs and saw Zayn going into my room. I went after him and shut the door behind me, brushing a loose strand of my long, curly, brown hair behind my ear.

"What's up Zayn?" I asked.

He had been looking upset ever since Harry had talked to him outside.

When I didn't receive an answer I knew I was gonna have to do more than ask him to get what I wanted to hear out of him.

So I started to poke him while saying, "Zayn. Zayn. Zayn. Zayn. Zayn. Zay-"

I was cut of by a loud "WHAT?!"

'Well someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.' I thought, but didn't say anything because I knew he was mad enough.

"What's wrong?" I whined.

"Nothing." He replied casually.

"Fine then. I'm going out with Harry. See ya later!!" I lied.

"What? Wait, no!"

"Aha!! I knew it had something to do with Harry!!" I cheered as if I had just solved a mystery.

"I never said that."

"Oh, okay. Then, I'll just be out with Harry. Since it doesn't bother you." I emphasized on purpose.

I started walking, but immediately he caught my wrist and pulled me back. I winced louder than I intended.

 Zayn didn't know about me cutting. And I intended to keep it like that. It was only once anyway.

"Sorry." He apologized.

"It's okay." I muttered back.

But it wasn't.

Zayn being away really affected me. I didn't think it'd push me that far, though it did.

Nobody really knew about my, hopefully once in a lifetime, self-harming. No one asked why I all of the sudden started wearing bracelets to cover my scars. Because in the end, not one soul cared.

A/N: I was gonna update last night again, but my parents wanted to go to bed, and the computer is   in their room. So yeah. I promise to update later because my parents are out grocery shopping and it will be a while. But for now I've got to clean my room. Yippee. 

Random Fact #4?: I looooove being sarcastic.
