Wasted

Chapter 20

*Maddy's POV*

As I walk out of the building the cold smashes in my face. As I start walking, my face looking down with my eyes clustered on my walking feet. My father will kill me as he hears me coming home this late, but even more as he hears nothing from me the whole night long. A car stops next to me, I can't see who's in it cause it's so dark outside. I keep facing the ground, starting to walk faster. My heart beats in my throat.

"Who knows who's walking down the streets this late." Alison said.

My heart starts racing, I start to panic as the car keeps slowly rolling next to me. I start running through the dark streets, the adrenaline makes me running faster than I ever did before. The car pulls up so he's back driving next to me, easily catching up on me.

"Maddy stop!" A familiar voice calls my name, I slow down, turning my head towards the car. Alison jumps out of the passenger seat and runs towards me.

"You have no idea how worried I was" she talks in my neck when her arms are wrapped around me, pressing all the air out of my lungs. "You're father called me five times cause he couldn't reach you, he said you weren't home." She rambles. "I told him you were with me and your phone was dead, he wanted to speak you so I told him you were showering." She inhales deeply. "I immediately called Zayn to help me look for you." She says nodding towards the car.

"I'm sorry." I say. I know just how nervous she must have been while calling with my dad knowing him.

"Stay at my place tonight and call your father." She half demands half asks. I nod. She grabs my wrist to make me follow her towards Zayn's car. She sits down next to me on the backseat, Zayn doesn't speak to me, he stays silent the most of the drive home.

"You were with him again isn't it?" He asks without looking at me. He pulls up Alison's huge driveway.

"Only to take him home, I left shortly after." I admit, why am I even explaining myself to him?

He says nothing. Alison is waiting for me on her porch, trying to warm her arms.

"Thanks Zayn." I say, he doesn't respond me. I plant a kiss on his cheek before climbing out of the car and walk over to Alison. As I turn around to look at Zayn again he's shaking his head to himself before pulling out of the driveway without looking back. I feel my heart sink in my shoes, Alison brings her tanned arms around me and brings me inside. "He'll be fine." She says.

Once we're upstairs Alison lets herself fall on her large bed, letting out a breath. "What. A. Day." She says and closes her eyes.

"You can say that." I beam.

"Take a hot shower, relax yourself. When you're out hot chocolate and fruit will be here waiting for you and then we talk this out so you don't have to bear this alone okay?"

I nod. "Thanks Alison." I say and hug her slender body. She pushes me to her personal bathroom before closing the door behind me after throwing a white towel to my head.

Her bathroom is huge, and this is the smallest in this palace of a house. Large grey tails cover the floor and walls, pink candles light her sink and mirror, white towels laying on the wooden plank on the wall next to a green plant that wears pink flowers. The immediately hot water massages my shoulders and hair. The smell of Alison's soap is still noticeable in the huge bathroom.

I try to let go of what Zayn said and focus on what I actually want. I can't let anyone just rule my life and decide who I can like and who not. I can't just let Zayn making me feel this unconfident. He and Liam bring me out of guard with their 'warning' and telling he's no good for me. They warned me, so it's okay now, it's clear, they can stop. I know I have to watch out but they don't always have to remind me of it. To me it seems like Louis is a good guy and means it well with me, he doesn't treat me like the other girls and is friendly. He's trying his best.

But his kiss confused me even more. It meant something to him and I'm special to him and he'll wait for me, at least that's what he says when he's drunk. I don't know what I'm feeling towards Louis anymore. I wanted to keep him as a friend but his words just confuse me so much. I don't know if I want to be more than friends, I guess not. But that kiss did something to me though, the feeling that went through my body was indescribable, I never felt like that before.

I think I just let things go their way. I'll try to keep Louis as a friend and we'll see what the future brings.

I swing the towel around my wet body, waiting until the warm air in the room dried my skin before drying my hair. When I push the door open she has completely transformed her room. The light are off, only a few candles that smell like apples and little lights draped around the head of her bed are lit. She threw cushions in all shades of pink and red and a soft rug on her wooden floor hot chocolate and fruit are in white bowls on a wooden low table smiling at me waiting to be eaten by us.

She walks in her room wearing her pajamas: a grey jogging with a pink top. In her hands a bowl with popcorn and a movie. She places them on her desk before running toward her massive dressing, she comes out and throws a grey top and a black jogging in my arms.

We sit down on the rug and cushions in front of her own tv, enjoying the terrific chocolate with strawberries, raspberries, raisins and small pieces of apple. "So tell me everything." She says. "How do you feel about everyone and everything?"

...

After I told her everything she throws her tanned arms around me. "Girl you know, I love you so much," she whispers. I feel my heart skip a beat by the words. "I'm here for you okay?"

I nod in response, her blonde hair tickling the bare skin of my shoulders.

"Let's go to sleep, you had a busy day" Alison says. After we get in her huge bed she puts the lights off.

"Thanks." I whisper into the darkness.

She doesn't respond me, I know she's not asleep yet that isn't even possible but she doesn't know what to say.
