She looks so perfect blasted out of my beats pill as I got ready this morning. I woke up quite late considering I hardly slept last night. I decided to wear some black leggings, a red and black crop top and a fluffy white cardigan because I didn't want to put much effort into today anyway. I decided the best thing to do was to talk to Zayn, so I got out my phone and text him,

Hey, we should talk today... meet up?

As soon as I pressed send I went into the kitchen to make myself some porridge, while the microwave was working her magic I got a reply from Zayn,

Yeah, in an hour at the park? x

I text him back saying yes and got up to turn my music off, today was gonna be another long day.

*****

I got to the park just on time to find that Zayn was late anyway, he said he'd be with me soon. I decided to start swinging as I waited for him, until some stranger started pushing me higher.

"No no no no no no no no no!" I started screaming as the swing got higher, I was terrified of heights! "NO! Please stop!" I cried as I gripped the chains keeping me safe.

"Alright, alright scaredy cat." The familiar voice teased as they grabbed my seat and stopped me swinging.

"Thank you." I breathed out a sigh of relief as I faced Zayn.

"So, who's gonna start talking?" He asked as he sat down on the swing next to me.

"I think you should, you're the one that messed up." I remind him a little harshly.

"Okay, yeah I guess." He nodded in agreement, "First thing's first, I knew absolutely nothing about you and Jc being together until he roped me into this. I guess it started out as a mission for me to impress him and to get you to go back to him." He runs his hand through his hair as he sighs, "But I didn't think it would be so hard, I didn't want to develop feelings for you. But I did. I started to notice all these little things that Jc had never told me about you.

I started to notice all of your quirks and I started to think about you every second of everyday." A smile tugs at his lips, "Then Jc reminded me of what I was doing and I had to let you go, I had to let you go to him or he'd kill me, and he's a violent man if you didn't already know." He laughs and I immediately tense.

"That's not even funny." I say loud enough for him to hear me through my dried lips.

"I wasn't really trying to be funny, but okay....?" He ends what he said like a question and I couldn't help but delve deeper. Something didn't seem right.

"You don't know do you?" I question out loud, "You don't know he abused me."

"What?!" He spits as he launches out of his seat, "Abused you? No! HELL NO!" He stands in front of me as it all clicks into place. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I did." I laugh at my stupidity, "I thought I did anyway. I text you about it that night I found everything out." I sigh and let my shoulders slump.

"Shiiiiit." He punches the air angrily, "J had my fucking phone that night." 

"I know, captain obvious." I stand up so i'm his height, "Perrie didn't hurt you did she?" I ask him as sincerely as possible as I stare his eyes.

"No." He shakes his head, "Is that what he said? I'm gonna fucking kill him!" He starts to walk away from me but I pull his wrist.

"No, you know that won't be the outcome. It doesn't matter anyway, let's start a fresh."

"What to you mean?" He asks, before I can answer I stare at his lips for a second. God I miss kissing those lips.

"Hi, my name's Carly. What's your name? Oh, wait you're that guy who sings the high notes in one direction, right?" I extend my hand.

"Yeah, I'm Zayn," He shakes my hand and laughs, "Nice to meet you Carly, have I met you before? You look like my ex.."

"No, I don't think so..." I laugh at the two of us and he soon joins in.

"Oh no you're right, you look a lot like my next girlfriend?" He tilts his head to the side and looks down while I raise my eyebrows.

"Oh do I?" I choke, and he just nods, "You're not as smooth as you think Malik." I laugh as I punch his arm and drag him to the slide.

"No, i'm not." He grins, not moving, "Carly, will you go on a date with me?" He splutters.

"I've just met you, Zayn." I frown and he looks embarrassed, "I'm messing with you, yeah we'll give it a go." We both smile at each other for what feels like an hour, until a bratty little girl runs right into us.

"Okay, I can't wait to give it a go." He winks and pushes me towards the exit.

Holy shit I don't deserve him, or maybe I do? Nah, definitely not.
