Little Things || Larry Stylinson

Chapter 11

It's been more than a month Danielle lives without Louis in her life. She lives in despair all the time. When she loses him, she starts to have her anxiety and her nervous habits heighten. Her tendencies retreat with multiple times. Her anxiousness are getting worse.

He used to be her rock. He used to be the one to stop all the panicking and fretting. He used to be the one to stop the madness that would take over her mind. He was the only person who really understood. When she loses him, it must be devastating. She suddenly doesn't know how to deal with everything before she had him in her life. She won't remember how to deal with it on her own.

It's noisy around the class since the teacher hasn't come yet but it doesn't influence her much. She searches for him in the class and she keeps watching the clock on the wall. Every minute makes her anxious. She's been worrying too much about why he hasn't come yet.

Maybe he's absent. She thought.

She becomes so quiet. Everyone in the school knows about their break up because they were the most lovable couple and they also once won the cutest couple on the Valentines. Little do they know, they won because she put so much effort and pushed Louis to make them win which is that sounds a bit pathetic? It hit her so hard to face every single person that is some of them tell her to move on but also some of them named her a slut, pathetic, liar and that kind of taunts because of her dating another popular boy name Matty Healy. Everyone knows he's a fuck boy and all he does is using girls. Her 'friends' always tell her to stay away from Matty because he's well a popular fuck boy but she never cares. Even she knows at the end of the day Matty will dump her same like how Louis dump her but she's just a normal teenager that wants to have fun in life. Her grades turn down. The teachers that used to love her are despising her. Everything has change.

Except this one boy, he is one of Matty's friends that she just knows about a couple weeks. He's not like other Matty's friends though. He's gentle and nice to her. She feels safe with him around. His name is Zayn Malik.

How they know each other is when she asked him an opinion about having tattoos and piercings because Zayn has it. It was a drunken night where they all had fun in a wild party celebrated Matty's birthday in an abandoned building. There were Matty and his other friends and she just sat there on a couch, gulping those beers. Zayn was beside, watching her with full of emotions that couldn't be explained.

"What do you think if I put some ink on my skin?" Danielle laughs while gulping her beers make it flows down her mouth.

"It's up to you. But when you start to have them, you know it will stay there forever. So, think it through before you decide." Zayn replies with a smile.

"You want to tell me that ZAP tattoo is meaningful?" she puts down her beer and laugh. "- that pretty woman on your arm too?" She laughs again.

"I don't even remember why I did this ZAP – " Zayn chuckles and continues. " – but this woman on my arm, used to be mine." His voice low.

Danielle takes off her hair tie from her wrist and ties her messy hair into a quick messy bun and say. "Who is she? If you mind to tell me." Danielle stops all her doings and gives Zayn her full attentions.

"Her name is Perrie. She was my girlfriend. I love her. but god loves her more." Zayn smiles as that is his fakest smile.

"You mean she's gone?"

"Yeah."

Danielle comes closer to Zayn and their knees just a few inches apart. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to –"
