Louder Than Words

Chapter 34

- Next Morning -

I slept in Zayn's arms that night. I felt on my cheek his bare chest rising and sinking slowly as he took deep breathes. He reminded me of home, not in the way of his appearance, but the way I felt so comfortable with him.

Wait. Delete that. I didn't even sleep that night, maybe. I might've closed my eyes several times as attempts but I just couldn't, and I didn't even feel restless. Lately I've been seeing that Zayn was feeling uncomfortable around me, sometimes trying to hard. The little voice in my head was telling me that looking through his phone is an invasion of privacy but then an even greater act of what I guess would be destiny, made his phone ring. If I picked up I could use the excuse that I didn't want to wake him up or that it'd be rude to ignore it, so I answered.

Me: Hello

Caller: Hi, is Zayn there?

Me: No, but would you like to leave a message?

Caller: Please, could you tell him that it's Christabelle Riley and that I had a great time that night and that I was wondering if we could hang out again sometime?

Me:

The whole world just crumbled underneath me. When did this happen. Fuck. We took a 'break' that's what happened. I even gave him permission to see other people. But it felt like he cheated on me since we're back together now. But he told me he didn't see anyone. But why would he lie about it. But why would this happen to me?

Christabelle: Hello? Are you still there?

Me: Uh yeah sorry, I'm here.

Christabelle: Who am I speaking to, if I may ask?

Me: Kacey.

Christabelle:

Me:

Christabelle: April fools.

And then she hung up. Now I'm furious. Why would she lie about it too. Wait- I saw some 1D twitter accounts with the name Christabelle Riley. I thought she was part of some insider but then I noticed that someone said she was part of management, or something like that so I put it aside.

But that was posted while I was unconscious.

I put Zayn's phone on his nightstand and got out of bed. Before I left the room I took a glance at him.

Look at him, all innocent and beautiful. But not so innocent for long.

I decided to refer back to my 1D stalking days and look for more about this girl.

About 20 seconds after typing her name on tumblr, I saw 5k posts of an audio.

I look for my earphones.

Zayn: Hey

And then it all went south from there.

Harry was involved.

The comment said that the girls were fans, and underaged but not specified how young. Most likely 17, old enough to drive alone but still under 18.

Before I jumped to obvious conclusions, I go to Harry's house.

And I didn't even bother changing, I still had my batman pajamas on and my hair was straight from the night before.

I left a note on the fridge.

Note: Went out.

Yup. No 'x' or smiley or nothing. He'll know something's up.
