Look After You

Chapter Ten

(Perrie's  Point Of View)

It's been three weeks since the accident and let me be the first to tell you those three weeks have been hell!

I've been forced to go out with that Jacob dude for three to almost every day of the week.  He's not a bad guy, but I honestly can't pretend to love him when I'd already fallen for Zayn and finally remembered it.

I can't stop comparing Jacob to Zayn.

Jacob's eyes doesn't shimmer like Zayn's do. Jacob doesn't have any tattoos like Zayn does. Jacob is just the complete opposite of Zayn.

"Pezz, we're on in five" Jade said, making me snap back into reality.

I nodded and finished my makeup before I met her and the other two girls near the stage.

Soon, the four of us were on stage singing one of our new tunes called 'These Four Walls'. I can't help but feel that this song basically describes what I've been going through since the last time I was held in Zayn's arms.

'In this time,
I've lost all since of pride.
I've called a thousand times,
If I hear your voice I'll be fine.
And I, I can't come alive,
I want the room to take me under,
'Cause I can't help but wonder,
What if I had one more night for goodbye?
If you're not here to turn the lights off I can't sleep,
These four walls and me.'

Each word made the hole in my chest widen. I need Zayn, I can't go on without him.

(Zayn's Point Of View)

Three weeks. Three weeks since the accident. Three weeks since I found out that Perrie might not even remember what our love felt like. Three weeks since she's been 'dating' that 'Mr. Taylor'. Heck, for all I know it's been three weeks of feeding the media more crap than Modest! Management did with the 'Hendall' diaries.

The only thing I can add the guarantee stamp to is these have been the worst three weeks of my life.

"Zayn...? You alright?" Louis squeaked, half of his face and the tip of his Vans peaking in from the other side of the door. "You've been sitting with the headphones on and nothing playing for at least an hour now."

"Yeah, Lou. I'm amazing. I'm not just sitting here cryin' over the fact one of the best things that happened to me had to be taken from me. You were there, I picked out her ring and everything. Now she's not going to wear it without the media thinking her new 'boyfriend' paid almost a million pounds for it. You're fine and dandy with Eleanor, but here I am alone while Harry is with Carrie, and Niall has Kelsi, and Liam is with Danielle... and for what?"

"Zayn, please. I came to support you, not to listen to you bash my best mates and I's relationships. It's not like we rub them in your face. Besides, you can still be friends with your exes. I mean, Hannah and I shoot the occasional text!"

"I know," I sighed and for once letting out my stress in a sigh was relaxing. "I'm sorry."

"Ehh, over it already. What do you say the lads and dates take you out and we 'run into' Perrie and Other Guy at the cinema? You guys could occupy the back row like before," he winked.

"I think that would be brilliant. I heard 'Frozen' was a good film."

"Good luck getting Nialler into a Disney film," he chuckled, giving me a hand up from my seat and walking out with me to head back to the flat complex.
