Stole My Heart

Chapter 12

*Chapter 12*

I wake up to someone knocking on the door. “I’m coming,” I say, tiredly as I walk over to the door. I perk up when I open the door and see Zayn standing. “Hey :)”

“Hey babe. Vas happenin?”

“Hey, boo,” I wrap my arms around him and he kisses me. “Whatcha doin’ here?”

“Just wanted to chill with my girl,” he smiles.

“Aww.” I smile as I walk to the couch, sitting beside him. “So what did you want to do today?”

He shrugs. “Whatever you want. As long as I’m with you.” He puts his arm around me.

“Aww… quit it with the romantic talk.” I hit him playfully.

He laughs. “What? It’s true.”

“Uh huh… so we could watch a movie?”

“Sure. What movies do you have?”

“Umm…” I get up to check. “There’s Twilight, The Simpsons Movie, Avatar, ooh I know! We should watch Men in Black 3.”

“Good choice, I like Will Smith movies.”

“Me too!” I put the movie in. “So while the previews are showing you make the popcorn and I’ll go change.”

He laughs. “Why do you need to change? It’s not like you’re going anywhere.”

“Oh… true. Well, I’ll take a shower then.” I run up the stairs and in to the bathroom and take a shower. By the time I come out I get a text from Alexis saying she’s coming over. I text her back saying, “Ok, btw Zayn’s here :D”

I run back down the stairs and I see Zayn making the popcorn while the previews are still going.

“Hey, Alexis said she’s coming over.”

“Cool.” He puts the popcorn in a bowl and walk over to the couch.

I sit next to him. I hear the doorbell ring. “That must be Alexis.” I walk over to open the door. “Hey girl!”

“Hey!” She walks in. “Hey Zayn.”

“Hey, Alex. Vas happenin’?”

She sits next to me. “What are y’all watching?”

“Men in Black 3.”

“I love that movie!” she grabs a handful of popcorn.

I glare at her and start laughing. “Dude, get your own popcorn.”

She rolls her eyes. “Fine.” She gets up to make her popcorn.

Halfway through the movie the doorbell rings again.

“Ugh! Who is that?” I say, getting up. I open the door and find Jaci. I feel anger rush through me. “I’ll be right back guys.”

They nod.

I walk out and close the door behind me.

“What do you want?” I fold my arms.

“Oh, so you don’t want to talk to me now that your friends are with you?” she rolls her eyes.

”No, I just want to know why you’re here.”

She glares at me. “I want my keys back.”

“Fine. Wait here.” I walk back inside closing/slamming the door and get her keys and walk back out and give them to her. “Here you go.”

She snatches them, throwing my keys at me. “And just one word of advice. Don’t think he’s really there for you. He’s famous. He can do way better than you,” and she stomps away.

I walk back in slamming the door and sit on the couch.

“What’s the matter, babe?” Zayn asks, concerned.

“Nothing, nothing at all.” I stuff popcorn in my mouth.

“Ok? Let’s watch the movie, then,” Alexis presses play.

“Yeah...” I watch the movie with them, and despite it being really good, I find myself not caring. Even after the villain gets killed, I just sit there glaring, wishing it was Jaci.

“Amber, are you sure you’re ok?” Alexis asks.

“Yeah, I’m fine.”

“Really? Cuz you seem upset.”

I stay silent.

“Who was at the door?” Zayn asks, turning to look at me.

“Someone...”

“Who?” his hazel eyes pleading for an answer.

I look away. “So who’s thirsty?” I say getting up.

He grabs my hand. “Amber, who?”

I sigh. “Jaci.”

“-.- Of course,” he lets go of my hand.

“Yeah... so who’s thirsty? Cuz I am.” I say walking to the kitchen.

“Amber, we have to talk about this,” Alexis says, following me.

“There’s nothing to talk about really... she asked for her keys and I gave them to her.” I shrug. “Nothing important.”

“But you look upset. Did she say anything to you?”

“No…” I take a sip of my water.

“Are you sure? Because it seemed like something really bad happened out there. You kept glaring at the screen.”

“Okay, maybe she said a few things...”

“What did she say?” she crosses her arms and look at me concerned.

“She said stuff... about Zayn.” I say, quietly.

She slits her eyes angrily and unfolds her arms to grip the side of the counter, as if trying to hold herself back. “What did that bi....-what did she say?” she asked rephrasing the sentence.

“She said stuff like ‘Zayn isn’t gonna be there for you, he’s famous, he can do much better than you...’ blah blah blah...”

“-.- She’s just jealous,” she says, still gripping the counter.

“Yeah I know... we used to be best friends before all this. Well, now I know who my real friends are...”

She hugs me. “I’m so sorry this had to happen for you to find out true colors. But we’re here for you.

“Thanks.”

The boys walk over and join the hug.

I have the best friends ever :)
