Just Friends

Chapter 43

It's been two weeks since the interview that Zayn and had I held with Jason. The media had an absolute fit over it, analyzing every word that was said and every gesture, just like Niall said they would. One news team even brought in a professional body language interpreter to examine the video which, in my opinion, just proved how slow the news day was.

Eventually, the hype dyed down and I was actually able to turn on the television without hearing my name or Zayn's. I had to stay off of social media however for a bit longer because there are only so many death threats I can read before I get annoyed. On the flip side, Zayn and I had a 'ship' name and a few supporters who made 'Zegan' account. Personally, I thought the name sounded like an overpriced salad dressing, but it sounded ten times better than the ship name they gave Niall and I. Negan? Yeah, I'll pass.

So far, we had moved through six cities on the tour and the girls and I had gotten to play about four shows on our own. The small theaters that we played were filled to the brim at this point, no doubt due to the recent publicity.

Liz may be a little crazy, but she was right about that.

Of course, they were probably hoping I would have another "tantrum" and walk off stage again. Maybe this time I would change it up and smash a guitar or two. Who knows?

"Hey babe, let's go to dinner tonight after the show. We haven't gone out in forever." Niall said. I mentally cringed but physically smiled at him at his request.

"Sure babe. Sounds good." I lied. After the show, I had planned to just go to my room and meet up with Zayn later in his after the boys were all in for the night but, it looked like my plans were canceled until further notice. I pulled out my phone to let Zayn know tonight was off.

*Hey, Niall wants to go to dinner so looks like we are going to have to meet up tomorrow or something. Sorry.*

Send. He responded in seconds.

*thats fine. I actually meant to talk to you earlier about tonight because I totally forgot that Perrie was flying in late tonight to visit for a few days.*

Oh, lovely.

*how long will she be here?*

*well, about four days. She wants to discuss the wedding plans.*

I groaned out loud. I was so sick of being reminded about that dreaded day. Ever since the proposal, Perrie had been video chatting Zayn every night talking about the guest list and everything in-between. Awkwardly enough, I was always in the room while this happened. She just never knew. They had a date set and a venue. They were getting married a week after the American leg of the tour was done in London. So, about three more months. I had three more months left with the boy I loved and the days were flying by.

So, you could say, time was my worst enemy right now.

"You ok babe?" Niall asked due to my infuriated outburst.

"Uh, yeah. I just got a text from Liz saying I had a radio interview with the girls tomorrow morning is all. I hate those." Thankfully, this was only half a lie. I may not have gotten a text but I did have an interview in the morning. That makes the lie more acceptable right?

"Oh, those are the worst."

"Yeah."

My phone rang then, saving me from anymore awkward conversations with Niall. The caller I.D. was a number that I didn't recognize but i answered it regardless.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Megan?" A female voice asked.

"Um, yes?"

"Hi! It's Perrie." She said. I instantly regretted answering.

"Oh, hey Perrie! What's up?" I tried my hardest to keep a friendly voice.

"I was just calling to say that I'm so sorry about the whole mess that happened a few weeks ago. I hope there isn't any hard feelings."

Thank god that's all she wanted to say.

"Oh, no it's all good. No worries."

Please please hang up.

"Good! Also, I was wondering if you would join me tomorrow to shop for a wedding dress!"

This was not happening.

"Uh, I don't know I mean-"

"Come on Megan! It would be so much fun." She pleaded so of course I gave in. "Great! I'll see you tomorrow. Bye."

I was going wedding dress shopping with the love of my life's fiancé. I don't think life could get any more weird than this.

(Okay so this definitely wasn't my best but I really wanted to give you an update. Plus, this was a filler chapped so forgive me please. These are needed every once in a while haha. Tomorrow's chapter will be much better! Also, I'm kinda obsessed with polyvore at this point so I basically turned my account into a Just Friends account. So if you want, follow me for some Megan, Lola, and Alex inspired looks:) (account name:

one-direction-images) ok enough about that. Vote and comment:) love you.) -Jenny
