Heeeeey! Massive Thanks to all you wonderful people who reads say something, especially those who votes and comments! You guys are what keeps me updating.

I love you all so much !! xx       

Before you start reading, I would like to say that Im having a bit of a struggle on how to write the story with it following the story line that i made. I dont know why, thats why Im trying to read as many stories that I can to improve my writing. This chapter might be boring, or written poorly, but I promise the next ones will be better!

    Zayn stayed up pretty late just pacing his living room, replaying the too-good-to-be-true-but-is-true events that happened. Then he would sit on the couch and smile, then back to pacing. Kissing harry was just, how does he say this, perfect. Everything was, really. He kept doing this till he eventually fell a sleep on the couch at past 3 in the morning.

   

    He woke up with his raven hair being brushed up his forehead and a kiss on it. He smiled without opening his eyelids, the memmory of the past when harry used to do this all the time playing in his head.

   

        "hey.." he said, still not opening his eyes.

   

         "morning sleepy head" and there was another kiss on his cheek. He opened his eyes as soon as he heard the greeting, and the smile on his face fell. A lump thickening on his throat. It wasnt his harreh. It was his girlfriend, perrie.   

"Everything okay, babe?" She asked, her high pony tail dancing as she shifted from kneeling on the carpet to sitting on the couch.

    "yeah.... yeah, everything's fine. Im just.. I didnt expect you to be here."

    "Youre phone is on voicemail since I woke up. I got worried so came here myself."

    "oh. yea, it died last night. forgot to charge it." Zayn said as he sits up. Perrie has a key on his appartment, and he got a key on hers'. He still has his tie, shirt and shoes on from last night.

    "Dont worry about it, I charged it before I woke you up... breakfast?"

    Zayn lazily rubbed his eyes and nodded.

    "Start preparing for today, then. Its the last day of the gallery, babe. And we'll be late if you dont hit the shower yet." Perrie reminded him, kissing him again on the cheek before standing up and heading to the kitchen to make zayn a cup of coffee and some toast. Her heels clicking as she do so.

   

Zayn shook his head and got up, heading for the stairs and thats when the guilt started kicking in. Its like every step he took, it increases. Different things started filling up his mind. He's supposed to pick up perrie today and wait for her when he gets there cause she's not done yet fixing her hair, and when she's done, he's supposed to tell her how pretty she is in whatever she's wearing. He's supposed to do those little things, cause well, she's his girlfriend. He has a girlfriend. Is what he did considered cheating? How can he cheat on her, the one who put him back to pieces when harry left?

   

    The thoughts keep coming and coming even after he finished showering and dressing up -- leaving his hair flat on his forehead cause it takes too much time and he doesnt want perrie to wait that long -- and even after right now, when he's driving his rangerover to the gallery.

    It just kept coming and coming like it used too, that he had to stop the car in the middle of the road. He started breathing heavily and his grip on the steering wheel so tight that his knuckles' pale as white.

    "Zayn! Hey.. zayn, babe are you okay?" Perrie asked, dropping her phone in worry with zayn's sudden actions.

    "yeah.. I just.. I'm okay, I just need to stop a bit, yea?" He said in between heavy breaths.

    Perrie took her seatbelt off and reached for zayn's hair. "are you sure cause-

    "I SAID ITS OKAY!" Zayn yelled, swatting away perrie's hand, harder than he intended to. wait, he never intended to do that.

   

         Perrie was in shock. This is the first time it happened. Zayn never once raised his voice on her. He was always sweet, putting her needs before his and all the perfect boyfriend would do. Her eyes were wide, slowly filling up with tears. She wiped it before it even fell, though. She swallowed hard before looking away from zayn and whispering an "okay.. s-sorry."

   

         It broke zayn's heart when he heard this, and he forced himself to calm down. What broke his heart even more is when he looked at perrie and saw that she's trying so hard not cry. He, on the other hand, started to cry and quickly unbuckled his seatbelt. His hands quickly reached for her, then hugged her tightly, kissing her temples as some of his tears fell on the top of her head.

    "Im so so sorreh. Msorreh, I didnt mean to.. I.. I dont know what happened. I would never... I'm sorreh." Zayn sobbed.

    Perrie wiped the tears on her eyes that were starting to fall, and hugged her boyfriend back. She cupped his cheeks and kissed him reassuringly. "Its okay. I know you didnt." She said, looking into the vulnerable glassy eyes of Zayn Malik. Zayn nodded and fell into Perrie's shoulder as he sobbed all the guilt out.

    "Are you sure you still wanna go, zayn?" Perrie asked as she looks at zayn on her right side. They remained on where zayn stopped earlier for about an hour, and they both agreed that its best if Perrie would be the one driving. Zayn kissed her cheek and nodded. He dont want to speak since his voice will come out broken. They reached the parking lot of the gallery and Zayn rushed to get out of car and open perrie's door. He reached her hand and kissed it, intertwining their fingers after.

    "Im really sorry about earlier.."

    "And it really is okay.." Perrie reassured him. He smiled at her, then they both entered the gallery hand in hand. It felt nice til he spotted Harry looking at their direction. His fingers which was intertwined with perrie's started falling, then the guilt kicks back in. Holding perrie's hand felt nice, but holding harry's was perfect. When their eyes met, zayn quickly looked away and guided perrie out of harry's vision. Zayn just doesnt know how to face harry right now. He loves harry so much, he's sure of it. But he doesnt want to hurt perrie.

    Harry's eyes never left them til they're completely out of sight. He was kind of expecting this, but he didnt expect it to hurt this much. Zayn didnt even want to look at him. He ducked his head as he laughs dryly to himself at how pathetic he's feeling.

   

"well, love is indeed, a pain in the ass." Harry chuckled.

*/        You are so right here, harreh! Its such a pain in the ass.

uuuuuuuggggh.
