The One

Chapter 21

I wake up to my alarm buzzing loud on the table. I unlock and shut it off. I read the time 7:00 am. "Fuck I don't want to go to school" I say to myself. My mom is already at work so I can skip school. I take a look out my window, and close the blinds after going back to bed. I don't feel like going to school.

At 8:30 am I received a text from Kendall saying *why didn't you come to school?*. Then at 9:00 I received another text from Harry saying *where are you?*. It surprised me that he texted, because he is mad at me.

I ignore both messages and get out of bed. I take a shower, get relaxed in some comfy sweats a big hoody and some fuzzy socks. I make myself some coffee and watch season 2 of The Walking Dead. So my mom gets out for lunch at 11 am, but she wont be coming home. I can stay here all day with no problem.

4:00 pm. Everyone is out of school and the phone rang about 100 times, the Caller ID was from school, they must want to ask why I didn't attend school. I spent the day in the couch, and now my butt hurts. As I stand the doorbell rings. I walk over to open it.

"Kendall."

"Hey you! why weren't you at school?"

I try no make an excuse. "I-I was sick," I finally say.

"Sick? A cold? Because you can't get a cold with 105°."

"No, I was having cramps, and bad ones."

"Oh well are you feeling better now?"

I was planning on skipping tomorrow so this should be my excuse for tomorrow too. "Not really, I might not go to school tomorrow either."

"What!"

"Don't tell no one Kendall, if someone asks you say you don't know please."

"Ok," she says. "Well feel better, I have to go because I have 2 essays to do, I just came to check you were ok," Kendall says in a sodden voice.

"Thank you for caring."

"Always," she says hugging me and walking back to her house.

I go up to my room and grab The Fault in Our Stars book to read down stairs. I go down and walk towards the living room when I hear a noise in there. I go in and find him, sitting on the couch.

"Crap! you scared the shit out of me!" I say my voice shaky.

"Sorry," he replies.

"You can't just be entering the house whenever you want, you don't live here."

"I know. Where were you today?" he asks worried.

"Its none of your business where I was at," I say. "Anyways I thought you were mad at me."

"Thats what I came here to talk about."

"Talk about? What you want to point out more stuff that I did, and that I should have listened to you. You are not my parent so why do you care who I hang out with!"

He stays quiet. Then finally says "because I love you."

I don't answer. I know he doesn't mean it. "You don't."

"Yes I do, and that's why I came to apologize for, for not listening to what you had to say that day at the party."

I stay remain silent.

"Louis told me everything. Eleanor actually was the one who saw and she told Louis. She said that Zayn was the one who leaned to kiss you, but she thought you were let him because you were way drunk, and then you stopped him and told him you don't feel the same way as he feels. Then Zayn said something and left you alone, and while Zayn was kissing you that's when Eleanor saw me standing on the other side watching you two. I left way before you stopped him."
