Hi I imagine her to look like Jenna Coleman, but you can think of her as whoever you want :) -Ri
The rain was pouring down hard. I could barely see anything outside. The only sound we heard was the rain hitting against the windshield and the wipers moving back and forth rapidly. There was some low music playing but I could barely make the words.
"So where do you live?" I asked breaking the silence.
He looked at me and smiled. It was sort of this cheeky kind of smile. "Here let me put the address in your phone." He said grabbing my phone. "It might take an hour or two, especially in this rain" He said.
"Thats fine. Not like I have to wake up early anymore." I muttered and looked at the time that read 11:57.
"Sorry what was that? Wait sorry I'm not supposed to ask questions right." he looked at me again with that dumb yet cute smile. I sighed and continued to drive but it was hard because of the rain falling. Suddenly I couldn't stand the silence anymore and if this ride was gonna take 2 hours I might as well start a conversation.
"Why were you out alone? I mean you're such a big pop star? I said emphasizing the 'big'.
He laughed and rolled up the jackets sleeve as he started "I needed sometime by myself. Um my girlfriend Perrie she broke up with me and I needed some space."
I turned the street as the GPS told me too and looked at him for some reason I felt a pang of guilt for him "I'm sorry." I said.
"Yeah its alright my mates, they um wanted me to talk about it but I just wanted to be left alone and I got mad at them and left. It was a dumb idea cause I left my phone and I barely know my way around here." I watched him as he shook his head and put his face in his hands.
"I loved her you know? I genuinely loved her and she cheated on me. I was going to ask her to marry me. Can you believe that? I didn't tell the boys about that. I didn't tell anyone. The last thing she said to me... she said 'he makes me feel happy. You don't.' Ironic, cause she was the only one who made me happy in this crazy ass life."
I didn't even know what to say to him. I never know how to console people who are sad. The only words I could choke up were "Why did you tell me then? I mean if you haven't even told your best friends. You barely know me."
"I guess thats the point." he said.
I looked at him and then back at the road. My stomach did this weird flip and I had to grab onto the steering wheel a little tighter. We drove in silence for the next twenty minutes. The only thing talking was the gps as it told me where to turn and which exits to take.
"Um I know i'm not supposed to ask questions but what did you mean you didn't work at the store?" He nervously asked.
"I use to work there. I quit today."
"Why did you quit?" he asked. I felt him look over to me hoping to get an answer.
"My friend well ex friend she's the owner of the store and she kinda fucked someone I was getting really close to and so I couldn't stand to work there anymore. Thats why I didn't make you pay either." I said.
"Oh shit i'm sorry. I couldn't imagine how you feel." He said.
"Well you could sort of I mean" I said. He laughed and looked over to me again "Well yeah but I couldn't imagine losing anyone of the boys." he said.
"Yeah I suppose." I didn't feel upset talking to him about this. I was avoiding everyone. Yet talking to him I felt at ease. I wasn't as upset I didn't have the urge to cry like I did all day just thinking about walking in on them. The image of my best friend, Fallon, on top of the boy i loved since middle school Dean.
As soon I opened the door and saw them my stomach dropped and I just laughed. I was so hurt I didn't even know how to react. Fallon quickly got off him and grabbed a shirt before running after me. She grabbed my hand "Wait you have to understand!" I couldn't believe she wanted me to stand there and listen to her. If she wasn't my best friend I would have punched her square in the nose but I didn't I just turned around and walked out of her grasp.
"Hey you have to turn here!" I heard zayn yell. I was pulled away from my thoughts and realized I was driving a little faster than I should have I took a sharp right. I saw Zayn grab the handle above his seat as we turned. "Sorry. Um looks like we're here." I said staring up at this really tall apartment building and then towards zayn.
"Thank you for the ride." He said a little nervous.
"No problem." I smiled a little. Just as he opened the door and was about to get out he sat back down and turned to me.
"Do you wanna like come in and maybe stay the night. Its gotten pretty late and the rain doesn't look like its about to stop. It won't be safe." He asked well pleaded.
"Um zayn I don't -" I looked at the time on the dashboard it was like almost 4 in the am. I shouldn't be driving this late. "Um okay yeah." I finally agreed and parked the car and saw Zayn smile.
