The New Kid

Chapter 9

CHAPTER 9.

I walked up to Zayns front door timid. What was I suppose to say? Or do? I turned around and looked at Kelsey, sitting in her car, she gave me a nod as if to say "It's ok. Go in." I lifted my shaking fist and knocked the door.

"Hey...what are you doing here?" Zayn asked surprised.

"I just need to talk to someone." I said, wrapping my jacket around me, noticing I was still in my pyjamas.

"Why me? Why not Kels..Or Kaci?"

"Well let me re phrase that...I need to talk to you."

"Alrighty then." he said, awkwardly happy, as he opened the door for me to come in.

I walked into his house, and stood there uncomfortable, as if I'd never been before.

"Need any thing? Drink? Food? I know you love it." he said with a wink, as he pulled a Dr. Pepper from his refrigerator.

The wink killed me. I knew I shouldn't have come here. I'm liking him again, well not like I ever stopped. "Ya know, I'm just gonna go home. This was a bad idea." I said, holding the door nob.

"Meg! You can leave!" Zayn threw his Dr Pepper down to the counter run over to me, grabbed my hand, and pulled me away from the door. Which only pulled me close to him. He looked down into my eyes, with care, with love. "You, you can't leave." He let go of me, grabbed my hand and walked me over to sit on the bottom of his stairs. "I know it might be awkward, but we have to get past that. We're mature, we can be friends. I mean, Kyle confessed his love to you and y'all worked it out, right? If y'all can do it than so can we..."

I could feel tears in my throat. God, why did I cry at everything? "Promise?" I asked, holding out my pinky like a kid.

Zayn laughed a little and held out his pinky. "Promise. You and I will be best friends until forever." we sat there in silence for a couple of minutes until Zayn broke it,"Now let's go get your boy."

"But...what if he doesn't ya know, wanna date..." I said awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

"Do you like him?" Zayn looked deep into my eyes.

"...Yes."

"Then trust me, he will."

Just as we jumped in Zayn's over sized truck, a blue Mercedes drove up next to us. Zayn's dad, Mark. He gave me an odd look, I guess already knowing we'd broken up. "Well hi Megan...what are y'all doing here so early?"

I awkwardly looked at Zayn, waiting for him to answer.

"Uhh...Were just going to see Kyle." Zayn said, turning and smiling at me.

"Oh well...You kids have fun." Mark said, looking at us weird, taking groceries into his house.

Zayn turned and looked at me,"Sorry he's awkward...After I left your house this morning he caught me and asked me why I was home early an--"

"It's fine." I said, trying to keep my eyes off his beautiful blue eyes.

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

As we drove up to Kyle's house I could feel my heart racing.

"Meg, Meg are you ok..?" I heard Zayn ask, holding my hand.

I looked down at our hands, pulled mine away and timidly said,"Uh..no. What am I suppose to do?"

Zayn got out of his truck, walked to my side and opened my door. "Well, first off, let's get to the door." he said, holding his hand out for me to take.

"O-okay..." I said, taking Zayn's hand and hoping out of the truck.

"Alright, now let's go talk to Kyle."

"Um..No I can't."

"Meg, you have to. Y'all are ment for each other. Really, as much as I'd like to hold you in my arms and kiss you; that's Kyle's job. Trust me." Zayn lightly pulled me until I was standing right in front of Kyle's front door. "Now knock..." he said, releasing my hand.

I curled my hand into a fist and lifted it to the door,"No. No I can't. What if he's already--" Just as I was getting my words out I saw Zayn step in front of me, knock the door, and run. Before I could yell at him, or better yet, escape, the door started to open.

I nearly cried of happiness when I saw it was Chase and not Kyle. "Chase on thank God! Can we talk I--" just when I thought everything would be good, I saw Kyle step from behind Chase. We all stood silent for what seemed like forever until Zayn came up behind me.

"Meg did you talk to--Oh..." Zayn looked at me, Kyle, then Chase,"Did I interrupt something?" he asked.

Kyle looked at me, then Zayn. "What is he doing here? With you?"

"Well this morning I had no clue who to talk to so I went to his house and I--" These boys sure do know when to stop me from making a fool out of myself.

Zayn quickly cut me off,"She came over because she wanted to make sure it was ok with me that you two date. She really likes you, kid. And we all know you like her. So, just..." he paused and looked deep into my eyes, then back at Kyle," take good care of her." he patted Kyle on the back and left.

Chase turned and looked at Kyle and said,"He's right baby brother,go get her.." he grabbed my hand, pulled me into their house and closed the door," I'll leave you two here..." Chase grabbed his phone and ran upstairs.

"So...hey..." I said in the most awkward way. "Maybe we should talk..."

Kyle put his arms around my waist,"What's there to talk about? We know everything there is to know about each other. We've 'talked' for the last 16 years. This is all there's left to do." Kyle pulled me closer and kissed me.

It felt right. He was my best friend, and I knew everything would be good from now on. Or at least I hoped...
