CHAPTER TWENTY 

»»————– ❆ ————–««


Daniel grabbed her hands and dragged her to his room harshly. He slammed the door after she walked in quietly tugging onto her sleeves.


"What are we doing in here" she asked

Daniel didn't reply. He just smirked at her.


He pushed her onto his bed and she laid on her back. He hovered over her tiny figure and gave her small kisses on her jaw, cupping her waist. 

Ariana didn't want this. She never wanted it to be like this. She tried to get up and loosen Daniel's grip on her waist but she made it worse when he only tightened it. 

She closed her eyes, tear brimming, threatening to fall out.

Where was the sweet Daniel that was polite. The sweet boy who always smiled at her and sent her cute photos of him blushing to their messages. 

Was it all an act?


Daniel tried to calm her by wiping her tears "babygirl shushh"

She gave up, her tears falling continuously as she begged him "Daniel please stop". 

After her fifth warning Daniel grew annoyed with the constant denials and got off her, opened his door and kicked her out.


...


Zach walked back into there house with red eyes. He walked passed the members and Gabbie and made his way to his room. 

There was no point in searching for Ariana and telling her, he liked her. He already knew that Daniel claimed her first and that she returned the feelings.

I should've known. He thought.


He walked back into his room then put my his air-pods on. He go on his Spotify and clicked "Khalid - Saved" 

There were no words to describe Zach. He was a mess, he felt broken.


A few moments after Zach fell asleep. Little did he know Ariana did have feelings for him, She just continuously chose Daniel. 


...


Zach woke up exactly at 7:34 PM. He got off his bed and grabbed his phone from his nightstand. He put his shoes on and grabbed a jacket then walked out of his room to go downstairs.

Once he reached the bottom of the staircase, everyone was sitting around the dining area eating dinner. "Oh hey Zach" Corbyn greeted, with his mouth full of take-away pizza. Zach hummed in reply, looked at them for a moment then walked out of the house.


He continued roaming down the streets of Los Angeles. All the city lights, sound of the cars beeping. It just made him calm down a bit too.

He strolled down the streets his head face downwards, he accidentally bumped into someone.

"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't see you there"

Zach sighed not wanting to look up "it's alright, no need to apologise"

Zach was about to walk away when she tug onto his arm. He finally looked up. 

She's pretty. He thought.

"Um not to disturb you or anything but can you please help me find this cafe" She showed him the picture from her screen with the address.

"Uh cause my mum told me to meet her there but I'm not really familiar with LA nor am I good at navigating" She asked politely. 


He thought to himself for a moment.

"Um- I mean you don't have to if you don-" 

"No it's okay, I'll walk you there" Zach smiled.

He reached his hands out to greet her, she accepted.


They continued walking in silence. The mysterious girl started to shiver. Zach did noticed that it was pretty windy and it was night. He looked beside him at the girl then noticed she was wearing a plain black tee paired with grey skinny jeans.

He admired the mysterious girl. She was different.

Zach took off his jacket then placed it on the girl's shoulders as the two continued to walk down the pathway.

She smiled and said a small 'Thank You'.


The two finally reached the cafe with the help of the great old Google.

They stood at the entrance. "Oh my gosh, I'm late. But I see my parents" she smiled looking through the glass window. She turned to face Zach once again, "oh and thank you so much, do I need to pay you? I mean I kind of wasted your time".

She smiled sweetly. When Zach didn't reply but only looked at her made her nervous and scratch the nape of her neck. 

"No it's alright. It was a pleasure walking you to your parents. But do you mind telling me your name before you leave?" Zach asked.

"Oh well my name is Lola. Lola Hudson"
