You || Harry Styles

Chapter 05

POV Harry

"Zoe?" I ask "Are you okay love?" She was looking at her phone without moving

"I'm fine" her voice was almost gone "I need to take this outside" she stands up before I could ask a thing

Gabi is looking at me. I can't quite now if she hates me or not.

"Is it serious?" She asks me

"What?" I take another sip of Zoe's tea

"This" she pointed at Zoe outside "You two"

"Yeah" I say and stare Zoe through the window. She looks stunning on my sweater "Kinda of"

"Kinda of?" She raises an eyebrow "Styles, if this is one of your sick games you shut it down before it's too late" her voce was serious "Zoe is self destructive"

My face was a question mark. I was confused. I know Zoe likes a good and dangerous game. What's wrong with that?

"She likes danger" Gabi lights up a cigarette "Not because she is crazy, she likes to dance with fire just because she can"

"I see no problem on that" I smile. Zoe likes my games

"Because you're not the one who stays with her on the hospital after she has an overdose"

"I'm not going to stay away from her" I say after a minute. Why is Zoe taking so long outside?

"I know" she looks at me "Can I ask something?"

"Go for it" I roll my eyes. This small talk is killing me

"If you have no intentions to go through with it, break her before she thinks you do" Gabi's voice was serious than I've ever heard

"Come again?" Is she really asking me to break her best friend when she starts to fall for me? I have a bet, sorry Gabi. Not gonna happen

"You heard me" she throws her cigarette on the floor and smash it with her shoe "Break her and leave her."

"Why?"

"Because from it I can make her recover." She stands up "But if she's in love, we can all be ready for another overdose" she takes her bag "Tell her I had to go, I'll call her later" she starts walking away from the table and leaves the cafe.

After a couple minutes, Zoe walks in again. Her face was red and her blue eyes were empty

"Are you okay?" I ask when she sits down

"Where's Gabi?" She puts her phone away

"She said she had to go" I summit it up "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm okay" she finishes her tea and looks at me

"No you're not" I say

"Can we drop it?" She looks tired "Please?"

"Fine" I hate not knowing things "Where do you wanna go now?"

"Anywhere" she says looking outside. Her hands were shaking on the table "You can choose" she smiles

10am

We left the cafe and headed to a park. It was really cold but she didn't seem to mind.

The thing about reading Zoe it's pretty easy. She giver her best to cover what she's feeling but for me it's all written on her face. The way she moves or bite the inside of her mouth when she's nervous. Or her mind trips when the subject isn't interesting. And the way she flips her hair when she's impatient.

But there's a thing I couldn't get, yet. The crossing street thing. She's terrified and I don't know why. Not that I care, it's just weird. I mean, it's pretty ordinary to just cross a street.
