Bands Apart [On Hold]

9. Thou Shall Not Pursue

Zayn's P.O.V

"And now I bloody find out she's in a girl group I'm suppose to despise! How much more do I need to endure tonight." I finished miserably, dropping down into the desk chair by the window, and Niall looked at me a long time as he chewed his pizza slowly.

　

"So let me get this straight." He said, swallowing in between words.

　

"You met a girl at the party, you fell instantly in love with her, you kissed her, then when you were discovered you left her your mask, and now you find out she's in Little Mix?" He said carefully, and I nodded as I buried my face back in my hands then he started laughing.

　

Laughing hard.

　

Laughing so hard it made my stomach knot up in anger.

　

"That's a good one Zayn, I like your sense of humor." He gasped inbetween laughter, but once he caught a glimpse of my death glare he immediately stopped laughing.

　

"Oh my gosh your serious." He said in disbelief, and I nodded shamefully.

　

"Believe me Niall I wish more then anything that I had fallen for a different girl, but it was Perrie and from this point on it will only be Perrie." I said honestly then a silence fell over the room as Niall stood up, and began to pace around.

　

He didn't say anything, he just paced around, chewing his lip as he looked down at the ground, and occasionally at me. Then finally he let out a deep sigh as he ran his hand's down his face, and sat back down on the bed.

　

"You can't Zayn." He said, making me frown as I sat up straighter in my seat.

　

"I can't what." I said, and he looked up at me with a sympathetic expression.

　

"You can't be in love with Perrie, it's just not going to work out. You have to forget about her right here, right now, before anyone else finds out." He said, and I slammed my fist down on the desk as I rose to my feet.

　

"Why should I?" I shouted, feeling my body tense at the thought.

　

"I thought you Niall of all people would be happy that I forgot about Rebbecca, and fell for someone else. Your always the one to talk about finding your princess, your always the one to talk about falling in love at first sight, but now that I your best friend has found both of those you tell me I need to back away from it like it's a rabid dog!" I exclaimed, my frustration at his rejection of understand evident in my tone.

　

"Alright, alright Zayn calm down before the lad's hear." He said, jumping to his feet, and I sucked in a deep breath before letting it slowly out as I counted to ten to calm myself down.

　

"Niall please, please don't tell me to forget about her. It will only make me think about her more, want to be with her more. And anyways I promised her that we would meet again." I said, glancing over at him, and Niall sighed as he walked over, and hugged me.

　

''Look mate I'm all for you being in love, I'm just worried about the girl you fell in love with. If anyone involved with her group, or ours found out you were actually thinking about persuing her then you could get in trouble or cause trouble. I don't want you getting hurt." He said sweetly, rubbing my back, and I melted into his hug as I rested my forehead on his shoulder.
