Boundaries ➳ z.m. au

Prologue

"Jess! I'm so sorry! I just wanted him to keep away from you!", he shouted whilst running after me.

I run. Run faster upstairs to my bedroom taking two steps at a time. I'm crying because he's so childish.

I open the door of my room then slammed it close behind me. He knocks the door repeatedly.

"Jess, please let me in"

"Please let me explain"

"I'm begging you"

"I apologize for what I've done, please"

I'm so angry for him treating me like i'm five years old . I know I'm being like that right now but I don't care and I just wanna know why he did it to him. I know that he's only being "protective" to me but the guy was defenseless and he is HIS best mate.

He stopped talking and knocking. I wait for a few minutes to subside my anger before deciding to open the door. I saw him sitting on the floor, hands in his face.

He looked up after hearing my room door open. I widen open the door so he can come inside. He stand up and walked past me and into the bedroom.

"Okay. Now go explain.", I said, leaning against the door.

"I-I just want to protect you Jess. I care for you so much that I don't want anyone to take advantage of you and try to use you just to say that they have a girlfriend and then after they see another girl they'll dump you like a trash. I just want to say that don't let others hurt you and pick someone who's perfect for you. Who will never use you as a one night stand but treat you as a woman and not a trash. Who will take care of you and always there for you. Who you can call anytime and trust your feelings.", he's looking straight at me right now. He's now in front of me.

"So when that...that fucker fooled you? Saying that he really likes you blah blah blah? And then you saw him kissing another girl? he really got into my nerves! He doesn't know how to treat a girl like you. It hurts me too that-", he stops, looking at the floor. I see him clench and unclenching his fists.

"It hurts you because what?", when he doesn't respond, the anger that ive been keeping gets to me again.

"I don't have all day Zayn! Just tell me. Because the last time I check, this.is.my.life. And you don't have the fucking right to tell me what to do. And oh! but then I remember you're my best friend-", I said sarcastically but then been cutted off by him.

"Please shut up Jess! for goodness sake! Stop being ridiculous right now. I'm trying okay? I'm trying.. Just please...", He bit his bottom lip, tugging his hair.

There's an awkward silence between us but I really need to hear what he's going to say right now. And i'm getting IMPATIENT.

"Zayn.", i stated.

He looked up at me, just then I see the tears falling from his eyes. He wiped it then look at me again.

He lifted up my chin and slowly say the words that I didn't know he's feeling for me until now.

"It's because I love you."
