It is Complicated (Harry Styles Fanfic)

CHAPTER 40

As promised, here you go. This is quite late and short because the file got deleted from my tab and I didnt have a back up. Arrrgh. So I tried to write it again and I think this is better. Ahaa. Hope you all like this and give it a SWEET THUMBS UP! Loveya

CHARIS POV

            I tried to smile at him as soon our gazes meet.

            This is so awkward. But I guess, I’m not regretting my decision of coming here.

            “I told you this is a bad idea!” Perrie swatted his arm as I slowly approach them. Though I may have met him at the pub where I and Perrie had met before, I’m sure still not comfortable being with any of Harry’s friends let alone with one of his band mates-slash-brother-slash-best pals or whatever.

            “Charis,” He stood, formally reaching out his hand for me to shake, “Am Zen.” He said more likely he whispered to himself and Perrie.

            I shook his hand lightly and exhaled, “Why so formal?” I tried to let out a small awkwardly fake chuckle but it sounded like… never mind.

            “I’m gonna go get us some drink, okay?” Perrie blushed and smiled at me. I know she doesn’t want his boyfriend, rather fiancé here, talking to me about… some issues I unintentionally brought to his mates. But here we are sitting opposite each other, like 2 or so feet away from each other. I just hope that Perrie’ll get me a nice drink, because she was at the counter just before she ended her escape words.

            I watched Perrie lining up and all girly dressed in front of the colorful cupcakes, cakes and different pastries as Zayn cleared his throat to get my attention.

            I gulped down before looking at him straight to the eye.

            “Harry had been meaning to let you know that…”

            I stared at his beautifully colored eyes and flicker my eyes, trying to take in the mention of his name out loud. He didn’t even want to talk to me that night. He may have followed me before I left, but he has all the time to give me a call while I was in the hospital. Did he really not care? Is what we had just a simply memory now? That I honestly don’t know if it’s a good or a bad one?

            “Look,” Zayn pulled me out of my trance and train of questions and continued, “Charis, you have to listen..”

            “Well, I am.” I told him. “I just hope that wouldn’t ruin my mood, you know.” I slightly chuckled and shrugged my shoulder.

            He stared back at me and now I feel so small and intimidated. I don’t know why, but a presence of a famous lad that I really didn’t know anything about makes me want to throw up.

            “So…” I derailed as I watch him think through of what he wanted to say or where he’s going with this act. “What did Harry want to let me know?”

            He was silent, and gazed away once I catch his eyes.

            “I’m back!” Perrie announced as she puts down our drinks and she wished that I would love the drink she got me, which is same with hers, healthily made for ladies. “Did you tell her already about the flowe…”

            “Shuush bae,” Zayn playfully placed her massive hand to cover Perrie’s shiny lips.

            “What the hell.” Perrie exclaimed removing his hand. They stared at each other and Perrie looked furious of her fiancé.

            “You are telling her.” She demanded. “I told you, there’s no backing out, since you’ve started it. You won’t leave a girl hanging, Zayn.” She said firmly like she’s speaking out for me?

            I told you, she deserves an award.

            Zayn exhaled deeply and looked directly towards me and I gave him a questioning and annoyed look.

            “He actually told me not to tell you. He even asked Niall not to tell you, but I asked my fiancée about it and she thinks that wouldn’t be fair not to tell you.”

            “Tell me what?”

            The three of us were silent as I try to take out the word from this lad, till Perrie, “That Harry followed you that night and he’s your lightning shining armor who brought you to the hospital.

            “Wai… what?”

            “Yes.” Zayn assured.

            “What?” I exclaimed again, confused.

            “They didn’t tell you do they?” Zayn asked, cocking a thick brow and Perrie shook her head sideways avoiding my gaze and took a long sip from her drink.

            “Harry told me that, your grandmother and your sister talked to him and asked him to leave you alone and never ever come to see you again.”

            “What. The. Fuck?” I exclaimed a lot louder than our usual tone because what the hell. What is going on? The entire time that I am feeling so miserable, it is all because of the two people I trusted so much with my life. What is going on? Don’t they want me to be happy? Nothing makes sense at all.

            “And he didn’t tell us why, he just gone mad.” He ended.

            “Us?” I asked still unable to grasp the idea.

            “The boys.”

            “Including Niall?” I hysterically asked. I needed to know. What the fuck is happening?

            “Yes, including Niall.” He confirmed.
