"Well, hello," eyes met mine as the jingle of that stupid silver bell alarmed my lazy appearance. His hair was stringy from neglect, and his perfect smile seemed to grow in perimeter with time. My ground searched the dark, wooden floor for a pinch of dirtiness so I can gain confidence, but his sparkling stars was glued to mine and made no effort to less the affection.

"A shy Avery?" his voice was nearly a whisper, a spud that whistled at my flames, purposely igniting more fire for me to contain. "How lovely."

"Um," I swallowed and tapped my finger on the opened door, my eyes still hovering the ground, and my heels scraped the floor, an eerie sound escaping as I kicked in and out. "I came for one of your muffins."

"Sure thing, my love," His voice cracked, pain following blindly in his smile. He reaches the counter with joyous motions, and whips around with a wink as he does so, and I tended to heal a wound in my heart that I cannot yet identify. It felt like my thoughts wanted to stop and be a part of this greatness that not even a coma can possess.

"Well," my throat made uneven coughing noises as I cleared it, "Aren't you just charming."

"You think so?" narrowness of his words made my heart start to live again, and my feet learn to dance. His smooth body movements made me nauseous as the muffin was placed into a small oven. His curls tangled each other with grace and love, and my eyes closed as I obey the nerves of my body.

"I don't understand."

"Understand what?"

"This feeling I have. This nervousness and it feels like my heart is dying. "

The muffin is grabbed with long fingers from the oven, and is placed a few inches in front of me. The top was mixed with a variety of colors, and the smirk he made was venom sinking into my blood vessels.

He sat down in front if me and looked into my eyes. His raspy, low voice filled my ears, and that's all I could hear for hours, "I believe you can remember, and that isn't me being optimistic, or stupid, but I truly believe you can remember. I also believe that you don't want to remember, and you are trying to become someone you know deep down you aren't," he takes a price of the muffin. "But I do remember this. I am in love with you, and Zayn can just fall off of a cliff."

Then after that, my thoughts turned into an object in space: they continued on until it was forced to stop.

Much like a blue car hitting me on the way to Zayn's.
