I Don't Need You (A Zayn Malik Fan Fiction)

Chapter 28 ~ The News

Chapter 28~ Kali

"Do you think she knows?"

"She seems too content to know."

"Yeah, I'd be sooooo upset."

"Should we tell her?"

I decided to eat lunch at school today, with Anna, and a table of underclass girls keeps looking at me and whispering. "Just ignore them", Anna tells me and takes a bite of her turkey sandwich. 

I shrug, "Kind of hard when you don't know what they're talking about." I listen to them talk some more.  

"No way! I'm not telling her."

"Yeah, not only is she like best friends with Harry Styles but Ali Jacobson too."

"And she kind of intimidates me, have you seen what she's wearing?"

Wearing? I'm in a normal outfit for me...I mean it's changed a bit since I started dating Zayn but not much. I have on skinny jeans, my favourite chuck taylors, an ATL shirt, red lipstick, and-

"Zayn's leather jacket! I'm positive."

"Wow, yeah but she should know what he did."

"It's really not our place to tell her about Zayn."

"They-no I'm finding out! Now!", I get up from my seat and march over to their table. "Excuse me", I place my hands on my hips. 

All four girls look up at me with wide eyes. Do I really intimidate them?

"Hi Kali", a girl, with a giant, pink bow in her hair, squeaks. 

I lean down, placing my hands on the table, "Couldn't help but over hear your little conversation." I look at each girl as I speak. "Care to share more?"

A girl with long, brown hair pushes her glasses up and looks down. The others poke at their food and avoid eye contact. "Do you really want to know?", glasses girl mumbles. 

"Yes, please", I say but it comes out more like a beg. 

She pulls her phone out from under the table and hands it to me. What could I possibly want with her phone? But what I saw on this girl's phone was enough to rip my heart out. I stand up straight, phone in one hand and the other covering my mouth. I look up and each girl looks sad. 

"We're sorry", a girl with blonde bobbed hair says. 

I look over at Anna and she's smiling but it instantly fades when she sees me, my eyes becoming watery. I shove the girl's phone into her hands and run to the empty room. The room that Zayn and I became friends in. It hurts just to think of his name. 

Seconds later Anna burst through the door, shutting it she just stands there. "Kali."

I knock over some books as I cry out, "He cheated on me!" I can't believe he fucking cheated on me! I pick up a cup full of pencils and chuck it. "He cheated! He cheated!"

I'm hysterical by the time Anna wraps her arms around me. My legs feel weak and I collapse into her arms as she slowly brings us to sit on the floor. All this is too familiar as the last time I was in this position it was Zayn comforting me. 

"He kissed another girl! She was half naked and straddling him!", I cry into her shoulder. 

"Shh, it's okay. I swear it'll be okay Kali", her words are strong but her voice wavers. 

"No one loves me, they all leave me", I know Anna and Louis will be there but they might leave me at some point. I thought Zayn was different, "I'm worthless"
