Best Friends with Eleanor Calder

Chapter 6

"So first off, remember to knock when you want to use the bathroom." I say.

"What if I don't want to?" He whines. I shoot him a look. I walk to the fridge.

"Oof!" I groan and I collaspe onto the floor. I ran into a freaking wall. Wow klutz alert.

Zayn stifles a laugh, "Are you ok?"

"Just dandy!" I say with sarcasm. He smirks and picks me up bridal style and sets me on the couch.

"Do you want to have a movie night?" He asks.

"Yeah sure let me go get changed." I grab my clothes and head into the bathroom. I throw my shirt over my head. Gosh I needed to get rid of this, 'mine' scar. Yes yes Ryan carved the word mine into my stomach. I finger the rugged skin. I take of my bra and stare at myself in the mirror. How imperfect am I. I don't deserve anybody.

"HURRY COURTNEY I NEED TO GO!" Zayn's whines.

"OK holdon." I say a little quickly. I quickly throw on my shirt and checkered pjs. What? Im a sucker for PJs. I throw open the door and Zayn falls on top of me. I stare into his eyes and blush and he leans down and his lips touch mine. I don't know what to do, I want to kiss back but. Screw it. I kiss him back and electricity shoots through my body. He pulls away and we are both breathing heavily. I can't believe it.

"Wow." He breathes out. I look into his eyes. "I really like you." He smiles and helps me up.

"I will be out in a minute."

I nod and walk to the couch and bend down and pick through the movies. There are all horror movies, and one romantic movie, the notebook.Zayn comes out of the bathroom wearing boxers and a v-neck t-shirt. I take a deepbreath.

"How about we talk instead?" Zayn suggests.

"About what?" He sits down next to me.

"Well erm... I don't want to push you but will you be my girlfriend?"

"Yes."

He bends down and crashes his lips into mine. I pull away, yup better fireworks than Ryan.

"Can we keep it a secret for awhile?" I ask. I don't want the boys finding out or Danielle or Eleanor.

"Yeah that will be fun like play a game, we can only like show err affection in private." I grin.

"Sounds like a plan, Im going to bed."

I roll over and immediatly fall asleep.

he walks closer to me, "I knew I would find you, you little whore." I let out a whimper and scower against the wall in tears. "First me now that muslim from that gay boyband." HE reaches out and slaps his hand across my face. He starts to strip off my clothes, and then Zayn walks in. "HAHA good one Ryan, and Courtney I never loved you."

"Hey Courtney wake up!" someone whispers in my ear. The light flips on and I shoot open my eyes. I fall into Zayn's arms crying my eyes out.

"Shh its okay babe its just a dream." He soothes into my ear and he rubs circles in my back.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He whispers in my ear. For some reason I love him more than I ever did with anyone and I trusted him. Hmm where did this come from?

I take a deep breath, "I had a nightmare that Ryan was err... raping me again and you walked in and you--you said you never loved-mee." I blubbler out and burst into tears again.

"Shh babe." He brings me closer to his chest.

"Thats not true, I have only known you for 2 days but I love you so so much and I just can't explain it." I smile and snuggle into his chest. "I love you too." I say. He grins and then gets up and walks to the door.

"Where are you going?"

"Im locking the door so nobody can walk in on us." he walks back and set the alarm. I climb back into his chest. He kisses my temple and we instanly fall asleep.
