Chapter 27

Zayd POV

After a few minutes, I hear Valencia's soft snoring, I smile to myself. There has been so much drama lately and it's just been getting worse, which gets me stressed and angry. And I end up taking it out on her, when she doesn't deserve it. James hasn't showed up yet, but I know he found out that I'm back with Val. He's obviously planning something, so I need to be cautious at all times.

I ruffle Valencia's hair as she turns towards me still asleep. I grab my phone and snap a picture of her, setting it as my lockscreen knowing she'll kill me if she finds out.

I slowly drift off to sleep, thoughts of James and everything else exits my mind.

Valencia POV

Wake up to the sound of Zayd's alarm, I reach over and grab his phone to turn it off. But then notice a picture of me set as his background and I cringe. Drool was coming out of my mouth and my hair was a mess. I smile and set his phone back, and step out of bed as he still softly snores.

I take a moment to look at him, not one flaw in sight. I sigh as I grab a sharpie from his side table, and draw a mustache and unibrow. Snapping a picture, I set it as my lock screen.

I grab one of his shirts and my shorts and jump in the shower. During the middle of my shower I hear Zayd enter the bathroom.

"Can I join?" He asks as I throw my wet loofa over the shower curtain at him.

"No." I say trying to hold back a laugh. He still hasn't noticed his face.

He leaves the bathroom as I grab a towel and change into clean clothes. I walk back into Zayd's room to see him nowhere in sight as I chuckle.

Walking over to the Jisoo's room, I knock on the door. Jisoo answers with puffy eyes and dark circles, and looks like she hasn't slept the entire night. Her cheeks and shirt stained with tears.

I pull her into a hug as she sobs. "Jisoo. What's wrong?"

"I don't know what to do about Bennett. I like him. I'm not in love but I still like him. I don't want to fall in love again, only to end up with a broken heart ."

"Give him a chance. He seemed genuinely in love with you when he told me his feelings towards you."

"I'm sorry, but I kind of forced him to confess his feelings. I didn't know it would hurt you this much." I say looking down.

The room was silent, since I had no idea what to say. The door is roughly opened, as an angry Zayd stares at me pointing to his face. Jisoo starts laughing and I join in, he rolls his eyes and leaves the room before muttering a "I'll get you back."

Jisoo reaches for her phone to text Bennett.

Message to Bennett: Come over. We need to talk.

He quickly replies, saying that he's on his way. I begin to brush Jisoo's hair.

"So what are you planning to do?" I ask.

"I'll tell him how I feel. We'll see how it goes from there."

I nod and wave as I leave the room. Walking down the stairs, I hear the doorbell ring and immediately run to open it, revealing a worried Bennett. He stops in his tracks when Asher emerges from the living room sporting a black eye and busted lip. Bennett tries to apologize but Asher holds his hands up and walks past. I awkwardly point towards Jisoo's room and Bennett quickly runs up the stairs.

"On the bright side Asher, you look really good. I could put some eyeshadow on the other eye and it'll look like a smokey eye look."

He rolls his eyes and chuckles. "Am I the only one besides Jisoo that hadn't noticed his feelings towards her?" He says shaking his head, as I nod my head aggressively.
