Mirror - 1D Fanfic

Chapter 13

My breath hitched.

" In..Zayn's room? " I squeaked.

He shrugged. " Yeah.. he should be okay with it though right?"

I got the strong urge to back hand him right then, right there but I didn't. I mean, who was to say Zayn was even in his room..right? This should be interesting...

"Whatever, let's just go." I snipped.

We walked down the hall and Harry knocked on the door. We waited patiently for a few seconds before the door swung open, revealing a shirtless, sleepy-looking Zayn.

Zayn stared intensely at me whilst Harry asked him if we could use the table. His glare lingered on me, before he shifted on his feet and let us in.

Harry lead us over to the table in the corner, calling dibs on the blue side. Kaitlyn called dibs on the red one and I stranded next to her awkwardly.

I felt Zayn's hard glare still on me as he sat down on his bed. He was staring at me, making me feel very very uncomfortable.

I wasn't really focused on the game, because with the way Zayn was staring at me, it made it hard to concentrate on anything except him. Finally, it was my turn to play with Harry since Kaitlyn lost.

After a few times of Harry making it into my goal with ease he stopped and looked at me.

" What? " I asked, looking away from Zayn.

" Are you gonna stare at him or play the damn game? " he asked loudly.

I sighed and glanced up at Zayn, who's gaze had softened a bit. I sighed, letting go of the table. I couldn't do this right now. I walked out of the room.

And I lost it. I collapsed in the hallway, tears streaming continuously down my face. My body shook uncontrollably as sobs racked through me. Somehow I had managed to catch feelings for two of the boys in this god forsaken house and ruined my relationships with both of them.

I heard someone's footsteps coming closer to me and then stop. I looked up to see Zayn looking down on me. He crouched down and cupped my face softly with his hand.

He slid his thumb across my cheek, wiping away some of the tears. They where only replaced with new ones. He sighed and pulled me into his arms, bridal style.

He carried me into Louis' room and set me down on the bed next to Louis, who was now asleep.

" What are you doing? " I whispered.

He looked into my eyes for a very long time before softly placing his lips on mine. He pulled away and whispered;

" What I have to. "

And with that, he left the room.

I guess I fell asleep after a while. I do remember laying there, listening to the soft breathing of Louis, staring at the ceiling and just thinking about things.

But I woke up, and it was morning. The sun was shining through the blinds of Louis and Harry's room. I looked beside me and Louis was not there, so I sat up. Harry wasn't in his bed either.

I walked downstairs and into the living room, where Lauren was cuddled up with Niall on the couch. I ship it, I thought to myself.

" Morning sleeping beauty. " a voice said as arms wrapped around my waist from behind. Butterflies engulfed my stomach.

I chuckled. " Morning, Lou. "

He kissed my cheek sweetly. " Sleep well? " he asked.

I nodded. He grabbed my hand and led me into the kitchen. Harry, Kaitlyn and Zayn where sitting at the table, eating some cereal.

" Want some? " Kaitlyn offered.

I shrugged and sat down on the other side of her. She handed me a bowl of it and a spoon. I think it was Cheerios, but I'm not sure, considering I don't really eat cereal a lot.

As I began to eat, I felt a pair of certain eyes on me. I looked up at the light-eyed boy across from me. His raven hair, which was usually quaffed up, was flat. It looked sort of like Louis'.

I looked back down at my food as Louis pulled out a chair beside me and sat down with some toast.

Through the whole breakfast, his eyes where on me. Studying my every move. It was kind of intimidating.

I had finally finished, and set my bowl in the sink. I walked into the living room and plopped down on the couch. Lauren and Niall were gone, probably upstairs doing who knows what.

The couch dipped beside me and I looked to see Harry. He smiled warmly.

" I feel like we haven't talked in forever." he admitted.

" Me too. " I nodded.

He chuckled. " So, how's life? "

" Difficult. " I muttered, not thinking he heard me.

" How so? " he asked.

I sighed and looked up at the ceiling.

" I've fallen hopelessly in love with two people all at once. " I whispered.
