Chapter 52:
I sighed at everything around me. At the empty new plates resting on the table, at the various types of silver spoons, at the red flowers sitting comfortably inside the clear vase. Everything was neat and shiny unlike my dull life. I should be with someone too, someone I love and not a compromise that was Zac. He wasn't even a compromise, he was just here right now.
"Perrie?" Zac called me. I took the menu and pretended to not hear him but then he grabbed my arm with full force and released it soon after he realised he was losing it again. I turned to Selena but she was too occupied with her date. I sighed and carried on staring at the menu...
"I have to go to the wash room." I said since I couldn't tolerate the awkward silence between me and Zac. It was too awkward and I couldn't handle being in the same room as him any longer. I wondered where Zayn was and if he would approve of me with him? Of course he wouldn't.
.......................................................
It was when I was re-applying my make-up that I noticed Zayn glaring at me from the mirror. For a second, I thought I was hallucinating but no, he was really there behind me all this time. Did he follow me all the way to the ladies wash room?
"Did I scare you?" he asked whilst laughing. Something was wrong with him, his hair was uncombed, clothes looked like they'd been worn for days and he looked lost. It was as if he was trying to stand still.
"Why are you following me?"
Before I knew it, he was inches away from me, I couldn't move away if I wished since the sink was in front of me and he was behind, his arms resting on the surface of the sink around me. I could feel his hot breath on me neck as I looked at us in the mirror at the front. I was observing him, he looked angry.
"Who said I was following you? I came here to have fun... to lose myself in the drinks. To forget you."
I flinched as his arms began to circle my waist. He was drunk. I could feel it in his voice.
"But it's you who won't stop following me." he said, tears brimming his eyes.
"Why Perrie? Why do I still remember you when I am drunk...? Why do you keep showing up when I am trying to move on? Why Perrie? Why..."
Suddenly, he let go of his hand and smacked it on the mirror. I gasped as his other arm gripped me tighter and his breathing became more hot and fast.
"Why am I not happy for your success? I should be proud of you but why am I not? Why..."
I closed my eyes when he smashed the glass again with his hand. I wanted to stop him but I couldn't, I couldn't see him like this. All I could do was cry by myself.
"I'm sorry... I made you cry again..." he sympathised with a smile and slowly walked away. Barely walked...
..........................................................
I sat down on my seat without blinking once because if I did, everyone would see the flood of tears in me. I started to eat the tomato soup even though I didn't like tomatoes, just wanted to forget things.
"Perrie?" Selena called me. I looked up at her and saw that she was pointing at something in my hands. I narrowed my eyes down to notice the fork in my hands. Oh...
"You got a little er..." Zac said, pointing at my lip and without asking, he wiped off something, his fingers stayed there until I removed his hand myself. Why did I agree to come with him?
There was a sound of bottles smashing behind us. Sitting in the furthest table from us was Zayn with the other boys. I didn't pay attention at the other four who seemed to loathe me by the way they were looking at me. I focused on Zayn and the broken glass in his hand. He was also looking at me like the mere sight of me was revolting him. He immediately got up and headed outside. I too got up to run after him.
