Get Out Of My Head & Fall Into My Arms Instead

Chapter 10

Karina's POV

We were really nervous of how Brianna would react.

"Karina can we talk?" Zayn said in a whisper.

"Sure." I said sounding a bit confused. He grabbed my hand and took me to a hallway. He let go of my hand and began to talk.

"Umm are you okay?" He asked sounding a bit worried.

"Yeah, why do you ask?" I said.

"Because when we walked into Brianna's room, I saw you wipe out your tears." he continued. Oh, it was that... So he did see me.

"Yeah, I'm okay. It's nothing, don't worry about it," I said as I began to walk away from him.

"No, you're not." He said as he stopped me. "Tell me?"

"It's nothing really," I lied.

"You don't trust me, do you?" he asked.

"Zayn it's not that, of course I do. It's just.... I don't know...It's about my brother and my boyfriend....." I whispered.

"Boyfriend?" he asked sounding confused.

"It's a long story..." I said.

"I've got time."

"Well to make things short, I have a boyfriend named Jake. My brother doesn't like him so he told me to brake up with him. Since I didn't, he doesn't talk to me anymore... The end." I said, sounding mad.

"Oh, sorry. " he said kind of sad.

"I shouldn't have talked talked to you like that. Sorry." I apologized.

"Don't worry, it's okay." he gave me a half smile.

My phone vibrated in my pocket. I took it out to see that Jake was calling me. "Hey" I said.

"Come to the park." Jake strictly said.

"I can't, I'm at the hospital and it's Brianna'a birthday."

"Does it look like I care? No. Now come to the freakin park or do you want me to come and get you?"

"Okay. I'll be there in ten."I said then he hung up.

"Well, I need to go now." I told Zayn.

"Why?" he asked me.

"I need to go meet Jake at the park." I explained.

"But it's Brianna's eighteenth birthday and she's your best friend. You can't just leave." Zayn told me.

"I know. I don't want to go, but...."

"But what?"

"I have to go." I said while looking at the ground. Zayn was quiet for a few seconds.

"This Jake lad. He's a control freak, isn't he?"

"Not really." I lied.

"Don't lie to me. I'll go with you. To make sure he doesn't do anything to you." That was incredibly sweet but he couldn't.

"No, Zayn! You really shouldn't, it's unnecessary. I'll be okay. He would never hurt me." I reassured him.

"I'll just take you there and then leave." he offered.

"Well, I guess that wouldn't hurt."

******

Zayn and I managed to sneak out without being noticed by Paul.

"Zayn, if we get caught, you're gonna get in trouble..... Just go back in, I'll go by myself." I said.

"I can't let you go by yourself." he told me.
