"Zayn, can I ask you something?", Florence asks Zayn who just had woken up from her side. Zayn rubs his eyes before mumbling a yes.

"That Melissa girl... you know, you told me a few days ago, did you fell in love with her? I mean, can you tell me what she was like?", Florence asks with a shaky voice and Zayn was taken aback for he was expecting a complicated question, but not that complicated.

"Why do you need to know? That was back in the past , I have you now" Zayn tells her but she shakes her head slightly.

"I'm kind of intrigued by her. Who knows maybe I have actually happen to know who she is", Florence states before taking a deep breath to prepare herself for whatever his next response would be.

"If you insist then", he sighs. "Well, to start off, she is a girl that goes on the same class with me, Calculus. To be honest, she seemed like a really nice and sweet girl. She was pretty and smart and I kind of...", Zayn trails off and Florence gestures for him to continue.

"I kind of had a thing for her, back then. My mates, Niall and Harry didn't knew about that, of course. But when they told me she was my game for the week, I felt weak. I couldn't just do such horrifying thing to her", Zayn continues, his voice getting smaller, his body filled with guilt and conscience for what he did back then.

"But there was nothing that I could do. I hope I could've warn her but that's the thing, she was meant to be broken by me. So, I did what I was told, and from that day on, I felt really horrible, like I was a monster or such. The look on her eyes when she found out the truth basically crushed me inside. I couldn't even handle it when she slapped me across my face and my demon overcame me, making me to hit her back, but gladly, I fought it. I just walked away when my friend protected her against me, it was really hurting to see the both of them. Louis was one of my greatest friend and to see the girl that I like with him hurts me a thousand times more, but that's just because of what I did. And I never got to truly say "I love you", to the girl who first made my heart flutter", Zayn states, his voice cracking at the end.

He takes a deep breath, "But when I just want to remember her, I would think of how she writes and solves the problems given to us at class, I would think of how she sheepishly smiles when I halfheartedly compliment her, I would think of how she pushes her glasses to the bridge of her nose, I would think of how me and her met the first day. But I would mostly think about how she got a hipbone tattoo of small black birds that had always surprised me whenever I come to think of it", he slightly chuckles.

"What if you see her? I don't know, maybe today or someday... What will you tell her?", Florence asks, curiously.

"Hmm... Well, I'll mostly like tell her the story behind all of it and tell her how truly sorry I am.", he states.

"What if she's not convinced?", she asks.

"Why wouldn't she be convinced?", he asks, an eyebrow raised.

"Because I'm not", she states.
