12. Zayn-Merci

there's a reason why I did a flashback with Merci chapter. I wanted another chapter with Zayn's point of view along with the present tense. Half of this chapter will be Zayn's then Merci.

   Zayn

   I sit in the cafeteria waiting for Merci to walk in. Louis is talking my ear off about something he and Harry did. It's been about a week since I've seen Lacie and the entire court thing. They had to push back our court date since something more urgent came up. I don't mind because that means I can continue thinking about the entire situation. My fingers are wrapped tightly around my water bottle.

   "Dude your gonna to burst the water bottle if your not careful." Louis states bringing me out of my trance. I look over at him seeing him with a worried look. I nod before releasing my water bottle. I turn back around in my seat breathing in. A couple moments pass, the air surrounding me and Louis is thick with tension. Someone touches my shoulder causing me to tense, but when I see the black French nails I relax.

  "Are you alright?" Merci asks softly taking a seat down next to me. I turn my head nodding before sighing softly. "Just stressed about things don't worry about me though princess." I state softly. I offer her a kind smile. I lean forward pressing my lips to her cheek. I'm still tense, worried about this entire thing. "Mer lets go grab something to eat." Louis states giving Merci a pointed look. Merci nods slowly before standing back up. I don't really mind since my head is pounding with so many thoughts.

   When Louis and Merci leave, I grab my phone sliding it open before scrolling through the contacts. I click on the name that's been in my head. I click the message icon sending a message.

   To Lacie - Can you meet me at your place in a couple minutes? I need someone to talk to you and your on my mind...

  From Lacie - Knew you'd be back. Yeah I'll meet you at mine in ten xo

  I groan before I stand up just as Louis and Merci walk over to me. I cross my arms in front of me. "I'm going home Mer. I don't feel good." I lie softly. I run my fingers through my hair. "I'm going to go get some medicine. I should be back." I state. Merci nods slowly looking up at me. I lean down pressing my lips to her before pulling away. "Text me if you need anything baby." I murmur. She nods again her hand resting on my arm.

   "Be careful alright?" She states slowly. I nod because I know she's worried about me. I pull away before grabbing my backpack making my way out of the cafeteria. It takes me about six minutes to arrive at Lacie's. I get out looking over the familiar apartment complex. I make my way in the front door, before upstairs. Once I've reached apartment 3B I knock. I hear rustling.m before the door opens

   Lacie is standing there, she's wearing a sports bra and sweatpants. Her belly button is pierced along with a side tattoo displayed. Her dark purple hair is tied up into a bun on the top of her head. I let my eyes rake her body. Lacie's laugh fills my ears. "Staring? Don't you have a girlfriend?" She asks with a smirk. I cough trying to cover up the fact that I was checking her out.
