complicated [a zayn/liam story]

Chapter Forty-Two

Chapter forty-two
Cassie's POV:

I stepped in the ring followed by Jacob.

"Are we keeping score?"
He asked

"Do you want to?"

"Doesn't matter"
He grinned

"Then nah"
I put up my hands.

"3..2..1"

I punched my fist outwards catching his side. He sidestepped and hesitated. He dropped his hands.

"I don't wanna hurt you Cass"
He said softly

I scoffed.
"Well you already have. More than you know. And trust me I've been through more than a couple punches."

He nodded.
"Whatever you say"
He mubled.

We put up our gloves again and this time he was the first to strike.

------------after competition-------------
"You're a better fighter than I remember"
Jacob said unstrapping his gloves.

"Well the last time we saw each other was like 4 years ago"
I did the same.

"You know- I am sorry about that. I should have listened to you and not lost my temper. I really regret that night"
He looked down and his tone was soft.

I almost felt bad for him.

"I regret that night too. I regret going to your house. I regret thinking that you were perfect and would never hurt me."
I said coldly.

"Please don't shut m- please give me another chance. Maybe not as a boyfriend but as a friend. I'll make it up to you.. And your brother. And Lizzie and Katie and all those other guys you were with at the ice cream parlor. And Austyn and Nate."
I'm suprised he remembered them.

"Are they all still going out? Like Lizzie and Nate and Katie and Austyn?"
He asked as if he was reminissing.

"Uh yeah they do. They're still together. And actually Katie and Austyn are getting closer by the second"
I grinned.

"I kinda miss hanging out with them. It was like us 6 were always together. The three best friends and their boyfriends who eventually became close enough. Not that any of us really had anything in common. Well we have lacrosse. Do they still play?"
He was talking a mile a minute.

"Yeah they still play do you? and we should get lunch. Catch up ya know?"
I suggested. Call me crazy but I really don't care. I miss this Jacob and I'm deffinately going to take him if he's here.

We arrived at the cafe, sat, and ordered.
"Cass-I cannot tell you again how sorry I am."
He ran his hands over his face.

"Yeah. I know you're sorry. I don't forgive you though. I don't know if I ever will."
I looked at him and his face fell.

He opened his mouth to protest but I held up my hand to stop him.

"I won't forgive you but I will give you another chance"
I sighed

He gasped
"really?!"
He was grinning

"Yeah"
I chuckled

"THANK YOU!"
He got up and hugged me

"This means a lot Cassie."
I nodded and hugged back.

"I know"

"So.. How's Liam?"
He asked fiddling with his fingers

"Oh.. Ya know.. He's pretty good, famous, in a band"
This was so awkward

"yeah.."
He looked around
"Now where's that waitress?"
