the singer and the Barkeeper

Chapter 20

Emily pov

"Let's go to the nike store." Says zayn as we walk through the mall, "Hell yes" I walk faster and walk inside, "Look at all those shoes." I say like that little girl from vine. Zayn laughs and we walk around the store.

"Emily?" I hear a woman say, That voice..I know it, but why?, I turn around and see my ex maya standing right infront of me, "Maya? What are you doing here? I thought you live with your boyfriend in texas." I say a bit pissed, she cheated on me with some lyndon guy or who ever he is, I was heard broken for months. "Well, I kinda broke up with him." She says.. embarrest? "Aww, so sad, you were perfect for each other, I mean asshole and slut, I think that the best match you could ever have." I say with a bitchy voice. "Wow em, I'm impressed, but I'm not here to fight.." She says now with a hint of sadnes, in my opinion FAKE. "..I want you back" She says looking deep in my eye she takes my hands but I quickly snatch them away and take a step back. "Okay listen bitch, first of all, don't ever touch me again I don't want your germs on me. Second of all, do you really think you could walk to me and get me back. Gurl, I learn out of my mistakes and believe me you are one of them, I would say one of the biggest I've ever made." I say and look at zayn who's standing there recording, he's such an idiot sometimes, he records eveything. "Even if I do that?" She says and kisses me on the lips, After 3 seconds I realise what's going on and pull away and slap her hard. "You fucking bitch, I told you that I don't want to see your ugly face, so fuck of." I shout and she fastly walks away.

Then I look up and see hanna and spencer standing at the door of the store and I walk to them, I know that hanna should be with Ali, "Han, were's Ali?" I ask and turn to look at spencer, she's pretty tall, "Hey I'm Emily" I say but she just shakes her head at me and takes a step closer, "Listen, I know that you didn't kiss that slut back, but Ali did just see you and that girl for like a second and ran away with that face that says she's going to cry. So get the fuck out of that damn store and seach for her, NOW." She say angry and I take a step away from her. "Okay, did you see were she ran to?" I ask now scared, fuck what if she doesn't believe me and I'll lose her , No zayn made a video i know that. I won't lose alison. "I think to the bathroom" Says spencer and without saying a word I start to run to the bathroom.

When I got there I hear sniffling and walked inside, "Alison?" I say loud with a soft voice, but the only thing that happens is that the sniffling stops. "Please, that wasn't what it looked like, I swear." I say and try to find the toillet stall she's in. "Can you come out and I can prove it to you, real prove I just need to get zayn." I say in a soft voice again. "Fuck off" She shouts and I walk to the stall, I lean against it "Ali please, Come outside so that I can explain everything." I say soft, I hear the stall opening and take a few steps away, I see her standing there with distroyed make up.

I take a step to her but she walks to the sinks and ignores me. "Ali, Please" I say walking to her again, but she's looking down at the sink, but then her head shots up and she looks at me through the mirror with no emotions. "Talk." She says with a low voice and turns around with her arms crossed looking at me. I swear she looks at me so angry, I think I'll piss my pants. "That was my ex maya, I didn't know she's in this city, she moved away 2 years ago with her now ex boyfriend which she cheated on me with, She told me she wanted me back but I told her that I don't want her back." She looks at me like she doesn't belive me, "And then she kissed you, AFTER you told her that?" She takes a step to me with a look which scares the shit out of me, "Yes, please believe me, Like I said, I have prove we just need zayns phone." I say standing here, I can't lose her. "Please Ali, I can't lose you." I beg and her face changes from emotionless to sad. "Show me that prove." She says quiet and looks at the floor. I take her hand but she pulls away, ouch, I look down at the floor and start to walk, I look behind me and see her walking. We get to the nike store and I see zayn talking to hanna and spencer, "Zayn, Come here, now" I say loud as I walk to them, he looks at me and slowly walks to me, "Please give me your phone," I say. "Why." He askes and I look at him. "Just... Just give me the damn phone." I say pleading with a sad tone. He nods and takes his phone out of his back pocket. I quickly get in, I know his password, and go to the galery, I see the video he took and click on it, I turn to Ali, who's standing like 2 steps behind me with her arms crossed, I walk to her and give her the phone, She takes it and starts the video.

After the kiss and my slap she stopped the video and looks at me guilty. "I'm sorry" Is all she says and hugs me tight, I instantly hug her back just tighter, I almost lost her. I know we're not even together yet, but I know that I need her.

Just then we hear a lot of footsteps walking to our direction, we break the hug and there a like 20 paps running to us while taking pictures,

"Alison, is that your new girlfriend?"..

"Who is that woman next to you?"...

"Do you know that your brother is in town?"

When I heard that question i quickly looked at Ali and her face is a mix out of shock, fear and sadness. They know him? I take her hand and look around for the others, when I see them I shout to them "We'll meet at my apatment okay?" They nod and walk away, I look at ali and she's like frozen I go to her ear and wispere "Ali, we need to get you away from them, just follow me and never let go of my hand okay?" She nods and I start to push the paps away with my free hand.

When we got through them, kinda they still follow us, I take Ali on my back and run to my car. I think zayn is driving with hanna, I just hope that they have a key for the car. I put ali into the passenger seat and close the door and walk to the driver seat, I put my seat belt on and start to drive because the paps are next to the car taking pictures of ali in the car. I quickly look at her and she just looks into space with the same facial expression. The car ride was really quiet.

I park in my parking lot and go out of the car. I walk over to ali and pick her up bridal style, she snuggles into me, "I can't see him again Em, I can't" She wisperes, "Shh, I won't let him do anything to you again okay?" I say soft and she nods in my shoulder, "You know that I can walk." She says trying to sound happy, I hate to see her like that. "I know, but I want to carry you, I want to treat you like a prinzess, because I Lo- I really like you." Shit, Did I just? Yep, I almost said I love you to Alison. "Aww" She says with a big smile and I know that that is a real one, I smile back and we stand infront of the elevator, "can you press the botton please?" I ask and she presses it, after a few long seconds we walk inside and to the apartment.

As we walk in we hear hanna, spencer and zayn talking. I put ali down and she instantly hugs me, "Thank you" She says, "Why thank you?" I ask in the hug and she breakes it and looks in my eyes. "For seeing that I couldn't do anything and help me, and for just beeing you, I mean you just carried me for I don't know how long, but.." Oh no, buts are never a good thing. "..I don't, really like you." Ouch, It feels like someone just ripped my heart out, I take a step back and take a deep breath. "What?" I ask feeling myself breaking. I know what you think, you weren't even together and you just know each other for like 3 weeks, and I know it but I can't help it, I just already love her, but she doesn't even like me.

Hope you like this chap😁
