Behind the Voice (a zayn malik fanfic)

chapter 15

Jade's POV

"Ladies and gentlemen, the graduating class of 2014!" Our principal exclaims happily. We all take off our hats and throw them up in the air. I run to Zayn and give him a huge hug.

"This is it. We have graduated," he whispers in my ear. I keep my arms around his neck as I face him.

"Yea I can't believe it," I say. I stand on my tiptoes to peck him on the lips, but he slips his hand behind my neck to stop me from pulling away. I feel him smile into the kiss before we pull away.

We find our parents and they congratulate us. We leave Zayn's parents and my parents to find Harry, Louis, Niall, and Liam.

As soon as we spot them, we run up to them. When they see us, they take Zayn into a group hug. I stand back as I watch them hug the lives out of each other.

"Why are you just standing there? Join the hug!" Liam grins.

"Okay," I giggle. After our little embrace, Louis starts to fake cry.

"Oh my god, my baby Zayn is growing up so fast," he sobs while stroking Zayn's cheek. Zayn pushes Louis off of him as I laugh.

"So what are you all doing tonight? Any celebrations?" Asks Niall.

"I think I'm just going to go out to dinner with family or something," I reply.

"Oh that's nice. How about going clubbing lads?" Harry smirks.

"Sure," they all say in sync. Even Zayn. I didn't know he went to clubs and stuff.

When the rest of the boys leave, Zayn and I make our way back to our parents.

"Do you drink?" I blurt out.

"Yea sometimes. Not a lot though. I haven't had a drink for a while now," Zayn explains.

"Oh," I say quietly. I don't like the idea of underage drinking, but it's his choice I guess.

"Are you ready Jade?" Mum asks. We are going out for dinner.

"Yea just a sec," I reply. Mum let me borrow one of her old maroon dresses so I'm wearing that.

"Oh honey, you remind me of me," Mum says as she sees me in the dress. I smile and roll my eyes. I find my black flats and I slip them on my feet. The fact that I graduated today has still not fully processed itself into my brain. I can't believe that all these years went by so fast. I applied at a few universities and I hope I get in to some of him.

I wait on the couch for Lizzy and Dad to come downstairs. I try to keep my mind off Zayn, but it's not working. I wonder what's going to happen at the club. I don't want him to get drunk and get into a fight or something. Pictures of Zayn with a bruised face enter my mind. I shudder at the thoughts.

"C'mon Jade let's go sit in the car," Lizzy says from behind me.

"Okay," I reply.

Zayn's POV

I change into black jeans, a white shirt, and I slip a jean jacket over top my shirt. I haven't been out to a club for a while and it would be nice to spend a night out with my best mates.

Louis texts me saying that he is waiting outside. I put on my white sneakers and walk out the door. I wish Jade could have come, but if she did I know that she wouldn't have any fun because she doesn't like clubs or drinking or anything like that.

When I open the car door, everyone else is already in the car.

"Hey Zayn," Louis says.

"Hey."

"I haven't been to a club in a while," Niall says.

"Same," I reply.

Once we reach the club, I can automatically hear the thumps of the music from outside and it gets me more excited. Lots of people are screaming and cheering so it's probably jam packed inside.

"I'm planning on getting wasted," Liam smiles.

"We all can't drink a lot 'cause one of us has to drive the car on the way back," I point out.

"Yea I don't think I'll drink too much," Niall rubs the back of his neck.

"What are we all waiting for? Let's go!" Harry runs to the entrance of the club.

As soon as we get in, Liam gets a drink and so do I. I'm not planning to drink a lot, but a few drinks won't kill anyone.

When I take a sip of my drink, the familiar burn of the alcohol trickles down my throat.

"I'm going to go dance," Harry informs us. We all nod as he disappears through the crowd. The rest of us find a couch and we sit ourselves there. I tap my foot to the rhythm of the music as I take another sip of my drink.

Once I finish my drink, I find myself getting a second and a third.

"Calm down there Zayn," Niall says as he points to my third drink. I know that if I get a fourth, I will be totally drunk. I already feel a bit tipsy.

"I'll be fine," I assure him. I tell myself not to get a fourth when I'm done my third, but I can't help myself.

When I finish my fourth drink, I'm tripping over my own feet.

"You okay mate?" Louis pats my back.

"Yea I'm fine," I slur.

"He's totally wasted," I heard Niall say.

"I'm going to dance," I mumble.

"Be careful!" Liam yells.

"Yea whatever," I reply. I make my way to the dance floor and my body immediately starts moving with the beat of the music. I probably look like the craziest person on earth considering I can't dance, but the alcohol is taking over my body.

"Hey, Zayn," I hear a female voice behind me. I turn around to find Jessica. What is she doing here?

"Hi," I say.

"Wanna dance?" She asks.

"Uh sure," I reply. What the hell? Why did I agree? I really shouldn't have drank so much.

Jessica immediately starts dancing around me and she's actually really good. What am I saying? What am I doing?

She grabs my hand and starts to guide me through the crowd. We end up at a corner of the club. She wraps her arms around my neck and my hands find their way around her waist. She leans in and her lips find mine. I slowly start to move my lips along with hers. I finally come to my senses. Jade.

I push her off of me and she looks at my wide eyed.

"What the heck?" I shout over the music. "You know that I'm dating Jade!"

"I know," she smirks. "I also know that we are perfect for each other so drop her and come with me. Or I can just tell her about this and she'll break up with you first," she threatens.

"Oh, so this was your plan right? To kiss me while I'm drunk and ruin my relationship with Jade? Leave Jade alone! She already has to put up with all the crap that you give her! She will understand that all of this was a drunken mistake," I say, unsure if Jade will actually forgive me. Why am I such an idiot? What the hell was I thinking? I still can't believe all this happened.

How am I supposed to tell Jade?
