Love At First Hate

Chapter 17 ~ Hiding The Truth

Chapter 17 ~ Hiding The Truth

*Zayn's POV*

Lauren and I have been dating for 3 weeks now! Im glad I can be by her side any time I want. I can make her laugh and be able to call her mine. She still scrunches up her nose when I call her babe. She thinks it's a weird word, but I call her that because of how cute she looks when she does that.

"Babe when am I meeting your parents?" I smiled as I walked around with Lauren.

"Ooh." She said. Not making eye contact. I sighed and looked at her.

"You haven't told them, have you?" I said a little sad.

"No, it's not that I don't want to it's just that-"

"They are going to remember who I am and are going to hate me?" I said. I don't want this to be a secret. I want to tell the whole world I'm with her.

"Yeah." she said.

See, this is what I hate. Just because of my stupid mistake! If only I listened to Andrew. Hey! I still have his number. I wonder where he ended up.

"Are you mad?" Lauren asked scared.

"No. It's my fault, but your parents will loosen up right?" I asked her smiling.

"Yeah...." She said worried.

__________________________

The ringing was eternal. I didn't even know if he had kept the same number. But I just hoped. He had the best advice of all. Maybe because he was older, like my 5 months.

"Hello?" My eyes widened. This deep voice I didn't recognize responded. Was this someone else?

"Andrew?" I asked.

"Yeah. Who's this?" I was relieved. I needed to say something, it was my turn to speak.

"It's me mate. Its Zayn!"

"Are you serious?! Hahaha it's Zen!" He copied my way of pronouncing my name. I hate when they do that. But I was cool with him.

"How's it been!" He said. We talked and talked. Like old times. As if nothing had happened.

*Lauren's POV*

"LAUREN! LAUREN!" I could hear my brother run down the hall. He entered my room and sat down on my bed.

"Look what I found!" He practically yelled. I took the frame that was on his hands and examined it.

I chuckled and handed it back to him.

It was a picture of me on the Second Grade. Well us. It's Me, Liam... and um Selena. Were smiling at the camera. All in a hug, on a line.

"What about it?" I asked smiling.

"Liam looks funny and so do you!" He says. I smiled and sat next to him.

"Hey! What was her name?" He asked. Pointing at the little girl with pig tails.

"Selena." I responded calmly. Even though I wanted to cry my eyes out. She was a big part of my life, and to know she didn't want to anymore hurt.

"I saw her yesterday at the liquor." He said. "She's cute." I rolled my eyes at him.

"Shut up Chris. You think everyone is cute. It's a miracle you don't think the principle is cute." I laughed. He scoffed and then his expression changed.

"What." I asked as he stayed looking at the picture.

"That jerk!" he pointed at the kid in the back of the photo.

"Z-Zayn?"

"Yeah. Zayn, I hate him." He said through gritted teeth.

"Why?" I dared to ask.

"Are you serious Lo? He hurt you. Like literally! I was small but ugh. I hope to never see him again!" He said. I bit my lip.

"Maybe he changed." I said.

"How would you know?" He asked. My eyes widened. What lie shall I say this time.

"I don't know, a guess?" I said.

"Lauren people like that don't change." He said seriously. I sighed. The door opened and in came our parents.

"Whatcha got there Chris?" Dad asked. Chris handed him the frame and mom and dad chuckled.

"Can't believe Liam is all grown up." Dad said. I sware he liked Liam as a son, probs more than me!

"Remember him?" Chris asked. I knew he was pointing at Zayn.

"Take it away. I can't even stand seeing him. That boy ruined our Baby Lauren. If he dared to lay a finger on you again. He'd be sor-"

"WHY DOES EVERYONE SAY THAT! MAYBE HE CHANGED! YOU KNOW? YOU SHOULDN'T BE TALKING BAD ABOUT PEOPLE IF YOU DON'T KNOW THEM THAT WELL!" I yelled at my parents. Not even regretting it.

"HOW WOULD YOU KNOW LAUREN? HUH?!" Dad yelled back.

"Because. Because I- I UGH-" I said leaving the room. Crying. This was hard to hide. My parents would find out soon.

"LAUREN! LAUREN MICHELE!" My dad yelled but I slammed the front door and left.
