It's been a few days since I went to the cemetery and met Zayn. That meeting has been haunting me because I'm pretty sure it was Harry's band mate. Did he send Zayn to follow me or was it just a coincidence? Either way I didn't know how to feel about it, so I just tried to push that memory away. Finn and I went on a second date and as expected it was awesome. It wasn't so much the place we went just hanging out with him was fun. It was so easy to talk to him and he made me laugh a lot. He just made me forget for a while. 

Today was the day that my dad left for his business trip so I was going to be alone for a week and I couldn't be more excited. Don't get me wrong I love my dad but I'm someone who likes to be alone and just be bothered with my own things.

'Okay there are some leftovers in the fridge, there is money for groceries on the table and don't do drugs.' My dad said after he gave me a kiss on my forehead.

'Oh really dad? I was just about to go upstairs and do some cocaïne.' I laughed.

'I'm sure you were, honey.' He smiles, grabs his suitcase and when he opens the door Joe is already waiting for him in the car that's parked in front of our house. This wasn't a surprise since they're going together on this business trip, but I wasn't expecting Finn to get out of the car. 

'Surprise!' He grins as he holds his arms wide open. I waste no time and run to him, alsmost knocking my dad over in the process, and throw myself in his arms.

'Did you miss me?' He asks after kissing me. I just nod and smile. In the meantime my dad had already gotten in the car and is now staring at us with the window down.

'Okay you two have fun, but remember what I said, Lace, no drugs.' With that the car drove off and Finn and I made our way inside. 

Finn and I had been watching a movie for over an hour now but I had trouble concentrating on it. I couldn't stop thinking about Zayn and if he really was who I thought he was. Harry's friend. I had to see him again, but how? Go back to the cemetery? That's a long shot. It would be a very big coincidence if he was there again so that wasn't an option. I got snapped out of my thoughts because Finn started saying something.

'Lace I have to go.' He says as he gets up.

'What? Why?' I get up too. 'It's only 4 o'clock.'

'I know but i have soccer practice at 5.' He takes my face in his hands and kisses me. ' I'm sorry.'

'It's okay. Will you be back?'

'Probably not tonight, but tomorrow I will. I promise.'

After Finn left I decided to go to the supermarket to buy a few things like cereal, ice cream and nutella. If I was going to be home alone, I might as well enjoy it. So that's where I was headed when I suddenly saw him. Zayn. He was sitting in Starbucks reading something and drinking coffee. This was my chance to get my answers. I walked towards Zayn and sat down in the chair in front of him. It took him a few seconds to realise I was there but when he did, he looked up.

'Lacy!' His eyes grew wide and he almost knocked over his coffee. 'What are you doing here?'

'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. I just saw you sitting here when I passed and, well, there are some things I want to ask you.' Zayn looks around nervously.

'Ehm yeah sure. What do you want to know?' He finally says.

'You're Harry's band mate aren't you?' he nods. I already knew this answer, but I was starting of easy.

'Why were you at the cemetery that day? Did you follow me there? Did Harry send you?' I couldn't contain myself anymore, I just had so many questions and it felt like I was going to forget them if i didn't ask them all at once. He took a deep breath and leaned forward on the table on his forearms.

'Okay I'll tell you everything. Me and the boys are staying at Harry's to celebrate Christmas and that day Harry and I went to town. We were heading back home when he saw you so he wanted to follow you and I guess accidentally bump into you. We went our seperate ways and I wanted to take a short cut to Harry's house which meant I had to pass the cemetery. That's when I saw you. I recognised you from the pictures Harry had shown us and when I saw you were crying I was pretty sure that the conversation with Harry hadn't gone so well. So I followed you and I was hoping I could convince you in a subtle way to make up with Harry.' Zayn leaned back in his chair again. 'So no i didn't really  follow  you and no Harry didn't send me, though I did tell him everything.'

'And what did he say?' I looked down at my hands that were resting on the table. I was kind of afraid of the answer, though I didn't know why.

'Not much. He just said: thanks for trying but I think it's too late.' My heart sank into my stomach. He really cared and I didn't even bother to hear him out. 'Lacy, he cares about you so much and he knows that he screwed up. We all know that. He really misses you but he's starting to give up on you. I've never seen him so devestaded and by the things I've heard about your friendship, I find it hard to believe that you aren't.'

'You're right.' I finally manage to say. 'I miss him. He was my best friend and he meant the world to me. That's why I'm so mad because I don't understand how it was so easy for him to remove me from his life.'

'I think I'm not the right person to give you an answer. Try to talk to Harry and sort this out, love.'
