Finding Us Again

18) Late Night Picnic

Brooklyn

Kayla must have saw my smile because she just ran up to me trying to grab the note.

"What is it what is it what is it." She kept saying.

"Calm down Kay, Zayn wants me to meet him in one hour at the pier." I told her calmly.

"Oh my gosh! You need to go like now!" She said to me in excitement.

"But I'm in spandex and what not." I said.

She nodded and I went to take a shower. once I got out I blew my hair dry. Kayla already had all of my clothes picked out and ready for me. I got dressed in black skinny jeans, a lime green shirt, combat boots, and a jacket.

My hair was naturally straight so it was pretty down.

"Do I look okay?" I asked.

"Perfect!" she responded.

Okay so I was worrying about what I wore for Zayn that's pretty weird. I mean I haven't seen him in so long all I wanted to do was hug him and laugh with him. I didn't really care about impressing him but whatever.

As I walked out of the dorm I saw Tanner talking to some guy.

I walked past her but kinda close to see who it was and it was Zayn.

"Hey Zayn,Tanner." I said weirdly.

"Oh hey Brookl- wow you clean up nice!" Zayn told me.

"Um thanks. So are we going or?" I asked.

"Yeah well thanks Tanner for showing me where the bathroom was." Zayn said with a smile and then he started walking which made me follow.

Zayn's POV

Wow okay Brooklyn cleans up really good. I remember when she was about 14 or 15 she thought she was fat. Well she was far from fat. Brooke looked like a stick but she thought otherwise and starting to starve herself. That moment seeing her that way killed me. She got very sick one day and had to go to the hospital. I was right by her side the whole time. Brooke was an amazing best friend. She didn't act like a girl really, she laughed and snorted sometimes. I think her hurting herself like that brought us closer together.

After that mess she started eating and gained some weight back. Her ribs still showed but not as bad.

"Zayn I thought you wanted to meet tomorrow, why tonight?" Brooke asked.

"Well I couldn't wait I wanted to talk to you more." I said.

We arrived at the pier and the picnic that I set up before is still there.

"Oh my this is beautiful!" She told me as she sat down.

It was pretty dark out but we could hear the waves crashing up the pier.

We talked a lot and she's still amazing.

I left her and picked up on her just as she was. She grew up and is now okay I don't mean to newsies but she's hot! I'm not going to tell her because she's my best friend and I plan to keep it that way.

Brooklyn's POV

Everything was amazing. The picnic was overall really great.

Tonight was the first night I actually looked into his eyes. Wow they were amazing you could get caught in a daze.

We kept talking about friends and what not until I stopped at his question.

He asked me about Will and how we broke up. I told him the whole story and he looked pretty shocked.

He understood me like no one else can, he gets me.

I wanted to ask about his girlfriends in the past but I didn't want to be rude. Hey what the heck!

"So what about you? Your past or pervious girlfriends." I asked.

"I don't have anyone right now but my past girlfriend her name was Lexi. She was a total slut. I have no idea why I went out with her, maybe because of Harry. But long story short she worked at a strip club and I wanted NO part of that." He explained.

Trust me I didn't want anyone from a strip in either.

"This was an amazing idea Zayn." I said.

"Why thank you Brooke." He responded.

The night was great but i was sad when it was over.

Zayn walked me back to my dorm and gave me his phone number. He was so awesome. I fell asleep that night amazed.
