A Little Bit Psycho (A One Direction Fanfiction)

Chapter Five ♥

Alex's POV

I pull away from Zayn and sniffle.

"Zayn?" I get his attention.

"Why does it hurt so much?" I ask him. He gives me a sad look and answers me,

"I dont't know, Alex, I really don't." He shakes his head. I look at the ground.

"I'm going to go back to my room. Will you cover for me? I don't want the boys to know.." I trail off, not wanting to repeat the story aloud again.

"No problem. Do you want me to walk you to your room?" He asks, concerned.

"That'd be great. Thank you, Zayn." I give him a small smile. He takes my hand and we walk to my room together. I did in my bag for my room key..

"Shit." I curse out loud, still digging in my bag.

"What's wrong?" Zayn asks me in his thick accent.

"I left my key card inside the room, but I don't want to go get Liam's because they'll all see that I've been crying." I sigh, frustrated.

"Niall and Liam are staying in Harry and Louis' room because they're doing a movie marathon because we have a free day tomorrow.. You can stay in his bed if you like.." He asks shyly.

"Really? That would be great! Thank you." We walk to his room and I remember that I have no pajamas.

"Dammit. I have no pajamas." I say cursing at myself for not thinking this through.

"I guess you could borrow something of mine if you like.." He trails off, obviously embarrassed.

"Are you sure? I don't want to be a bother." I say.

"No, it's alright. Here." He said, digging through his luggage. He hands me a red t-shirt and some gray jogging pants.

"Thank you so much Zayn. This means a lot to me." I get up and go into the bathroom to change.

Since I'm so much smaller than Zayn, The shirt consumes me, falling almost to my knees, so I tied it on the side with a pony-tail.The jogging pants had to be rolled up four times just so I wasn't walking on them. I wash off the mascara that ran down my face from crying and walk out of the bathroom. I see Zayn surfing through the channels on the television when I return. I sit down on Niall's bed. My curiosity gets the best of me and I can't help the question that falls from my mouth.

"So Zayn.. I don't mean to pry, but what happened with you and Perrie? Weren't you guys like, engaged or something?" I ask him.

"Well it's a long story.." He says.

"I could spare some time." I say, trying to convince him to tell me. He sighs.

"Perrie and I dated for three and a half years, but the last couple of months she'd been distant. She wasn't returning my calls, She was always 'working'," He says, putting air quotes around working,"I had been a little suspicious for a while, but then one of her band mates, Jade Thirwall, called me and told me everything, said she couldn't keep it from me anymore, she told me that Perrie had been cheating on me with her brother David Thirwall.. I called Perrie the next day and she confirmed it.. I told her then and there that we were through. I can't stand cheaters. I just wish..." He doesn't finish his sentence.

"Oh Zayn, I'm sorry." I say, unsure of how I should comfort him.

"Well, a couple weeks after we broke up, she showed up at our hotel. She didn't even talk to me, She just gave security her engagement ring and had them give it to me." He finishes his story.

"Well enough about me, How's your dad doing, Alex Leigh?" He asks.

"He's doing.. well he's managing. After having the casts on his legs, He'll have to go through physical therapy to train his legs to walk again. So.. It will be a while before he can be your body guard again, if at all." I grimace. I don't want to be their permanent body guard.. I want to go back to school.

"Well, as much as I'll miss Paul, I'm glad I get to hang out with you." He grins and I giggle.

"I'm going to go to bed.. thanks for letting me stay in your room, Zayn." I smile at him and walk to Niall's bed. Almost as soon as my head hits the pillow, I'm sound asleep.

Alex's POV

I wake to the sound of a shower running. I sit up and check my phone.

"I slept 'till noon? Damn." I tiredly say aloud to myself. I don't want to go back to my room to get dressed because Liam might be in there and I don't want to think about his reaction to me wearing Zayn's clothes. It's not like anything happened, but I'd rather not explain myself. My purse and my clothes are on the side table next to Niall's bed.. I guess I'll have to put those back on.. I run my fingers through my hair, which I'm sure looks like crap, and tie it back. I hear the sound of the water stopping and shuffling around in the bathroom. Zayn comes out a few minutes later with his hair still wet from the shower, dressed in a red flannel, jeans, and red converse.

"Hey Alex Leigh. Good to finally see you awake..." He teases me and I grin.

"Oh shut up. Okay I am going to get dressed in my clothes from yesterday and have Liam let me into my room. I'll make up some reason as to why I am in my clothes from yesterday.." I trail off, "Well, I'll see ya later. Thanks for letting me stay here.. I'd really appreciate it if you didn't tell anybody else about what happened." I say.

"Yeah, no problem," He smiles nervously, "Maybe we could go see a movie later? As friends, I mean. 'If I Stay' just hit the theaters and I really want to see it." He doesn't look at me when he asks. I giggle.

"Yeah, I'd love to. No reason to be so nervous, Zayn." I laugh at him again whe his face goes red.

"I'm going to change in your bathroom and then I'll go back to my room. Text me whenever you wanna leave for the movies, okay?" I go into the bathroom and change. I brush my hair and leave the clothes I borrowed from him folded on the counter. I walk back out into the main room, and I am surprised to see that the room is empty, Zayn is no where to be found. I wonder where he went.. I grab my purse and my phone and exit his room.
