Just Friends

Chapter 61

Chapter 61

(This is going to be major short because I just got back from vacation but I've left you guys without an update for way too long so enjoy! The next one will be longer I promise."

"Yes, I know it's next week." Zayn said way too calmly for my liking.

"You're fucking getting married in a week?! What the actual fuck? How the hell can that even be possible."

"Perrie has been planning non-stop I guess. All the invitations have been sent out, the venue is booked, her dress is ready, and the cake has been ordered. Now, all there is to do is get me a suit and everything will be ready."

I rubbed my temples with my fingertips trying to make everything that I had just heard sink in. The love of my life was getting married in exactly seven days and I was nowhere near ready to let him go.

"Zayn, you have to call off the wedding." I pleaded.

"Megs, I already told you that that wasn't possible."

"So what? You're going to spend the rest of your life with somebody you clearly aren't happy with? Are you serious?"

"I can't jeopardize the bands legacy and career because of my poor behavior and decisions, Megan."

Ouch.

"You should have thought of that before you slept with me."

"Oh, come on. I didn't mean it like that." He sighed.

"Yeah, whatever."

"Why are you being like this? You knew this day was coming."

"I didn't realize it was coming this soon! I thought I had at least a couple more months. For fucks sake I just lost the baby and now I'm going to lose you. I love you Zayn. I can't go through that."

"Don't play the guilt trip on me here."

"Guilt trip? It's the truth!" I yell. "Don't you love me."

"Yes, I love you. Of course I do." He said, getting quiet.

"But it's just not enough is it?" I whispered. He didn't say a word. "I think it's time you leave."

"Megan, please."

"I said leave." I tried to show authority in my voice but mostly it came out as defeat. I just needed to be alone.

"Alright. But this conversation isn't finished."

"There isn't anything left for us to say."

"Megan, we have a week. Just please try and savor it while we can." He suggested before placing a light kiss on my cheek. He then turned and walked out my door, leaving me alone and heartbroken like so many times before.

--------------------------

"I swear, Zayn is going to get it. I waited downstairs for a damn hour until I realized that it was a prank. Damn." Niall said as he stormed back inside our room.

"An hour? Wow. That's terrible." I said halfheartedly. I was actually more than great-full for the delay because it gave me time to recover from my conversation with Zayn.

Niall came over and slumped down onto the couch next to me, slinging his arms around me and dragging me closer.

"Oh, by the way, I was suppose to give this to you." He reached into his pack pocket and handed me a folded and crumpled up envelope. "Sorry, it's kinda squished up."

I chuckled and then tore open the almost ruined letter. I soon realized it was no letter at all, but an invitation. It was printed on beautiful cream paper with letters written in a shiny gold print.

'You're invited to celebrate the eternal love shared between Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards on August 21st, 2014 at their ceremony in Bradford, England'

"Oh, it's their wedding invitation! They finally set a date." I heard Niall say behind me.

"Uh, yeah. It's next week."

"Well shit. I have to go and rent a tux and everything. Damn, that's going to be a pain in the ass to keep nice while on the plan to England." He complained but I couldn't focus on him at the moment. I just sat and stared at the invitation in my hand, reading it over and over again hoping that maybe, just maybe, I had read the words wrong. I didn't want to believe that this was happening, but the paper in my hand ruined all my hopes that all of this would disappear.

"Megan?"

"Yeah?"

"I asked if you had a passport?"

"Oh, um yes I do. Sorry. I guess I zoned out."

"Thinking about England aren't you? I bet you're excited to visit for the first time aren't you?"

"Ecstatic."
