My Best Friend's Brother

Chapter 12

-Zayn

I wake up to the queasy feeling in my stomach. I run to the bathroom and throw up the pizza I had last night. After I finish brushing my teeth, I notice something different around the house.

"It's silent for once." Usually Javadd would be yelling at the telly or eating an apple on the couch waiting for me to get ready. I shrug and look at the clock and almost have a heart attack. I hurry and put on some clothes and fix my hair. I put my glasses on and check myself in the mirror. I look so sick and pale and it seems like I haven't had food in days. I try to shake off the feeling and grab Javadd's keys out of the key bowl. I walk out and notice two bodies out in the front lawn. I see Javadd cuddled close to Harry. I shrug at the thought and step over their bodies to Javadd's car. I get in and drive away.

Lucky for them, the sprinklers don't come on until 9.

-Harry

I feel wetness on my face and the rest of my body. Is it raining? I wake up to find that the sprinklers on, spraying right on Javadd and I. Javadd springs up gasping with his hair dripping wet on his forehead covering his eyes.

"What the hell!" He screams out and runs a hand through his hair. We look around then at each other then he grabs my hand and leads me to the house. He tries to open the door but it's locked.

"I left my keys in the house!" He tries the knob again but no luck opening the door. I grab his hand again and pull him across the street to my house. I dig in the dirt of the fern that's sitting out on the porch and grab the spare key. We both walk inside and I lead him upstairs. When we get to my room and I let go of his hand and start peeling off the wet clothes I have on.

"I have a sweater in there if you want it." His pants are almost dry opposed to mine that's already drenched in water. I quickly change and throw the wet clothes in the wash room while he puts on my oversized sweater. I grab my keys and look over at Javadd. We walk outside to my car and get in. He looks back over to his driveway and gets mad.

"That little son of a bitch didn't wake us up and he took my car!"

-Javadd

"Zayn needs to stop taking matters into his own hands and "trying" to solve problems." We arrive at school and Harry helps me out of the car. We wave goodbye as he walks to English and I walk to Biology. I sit down next to Niall who has his eyes closed with his earbuds in. I poke his face and he jumps up and takes them out of his ears.

"Hey, Ni." I giggle and kiss him. He pulls away and looks confused at Harry's sweater.

"Isn't that Harry's?" I nod and he frowns.

"Yeah, I got locked out of the house and my shirt was soaking wet so Harry let me borrow it." It smells like Harry too. He smells like heaven mixed with vanilla.

-Niall

Even though Harry and I are mates, he needs to back the hell away from my boyfriend. It took me two long and painful years to get Javadd and I'm not going to lose him to some heartbreaker who already has a boyfriend! The bell rings and Javadd and I walk to lunch hand in hand.

-Zayn

I speed walk to the library, skipping lunch. I already had about four breakfast bars because I've been craving them all morning. Someone turns me around in the empty hallway. I look up and see Harry huffing out like he just ran a mile. He takes out his inhaler and takes a few puffs before talking.

"I need to talk to you."

"If it's about how much of a freak I am then save it. I don't need somebody pretending to care, just leave me alone." I walk away and I didn't even shed a single tear.
