Betrayal

Chapter Eight

I don't even know how to apologize to Teddy. No one should know about what I did to my family. The pain and suffering I caused them all those years ago. I was a sick twisted person back then and I didn't want to scare her away. The boys have helped me become someone so much better. My family would be proud but I'm to ashamed to even talk to them.

"Hey Teddy can I talk to you for a moment please?" I pulled the roses out from behind my back and I smiled a gigantic smile while pleading with my eyes, hoping she will let me apologize.

"Well since you brought me flowers I guess I'll let you speak." She says as she takes the flowers and sniffs them.

"It's about yesterday. I didn't mean to be that way towards you, it's just family is a touchy subject. But if you must know, I wasn't the best son or brother to my family. I did and said things to them that I shouldn't have. I left them to change who I was into someone better. Even though I'm a changed man, I am a major coward and I don't know if they'll forgive me. I don't want to face the disappointment that will come from that. But right now the only person I'm looking for forgiveness from is you. So Teddy will you please forgive me for how I reacted yesterday?" I totally nailed that apology if I do say so myself.

"Wow Malik talk about being a pussy. Apologizing for something as stupid as that. And you brought her flowers? Come on when will you give up and realize she's not your girl, she's mine. You're not even manly enough for her. Time to move on and let a real man treat Teddy the way she needs to be treated." Brandon says coming up and wrapping an arm around Teddy's shoulder. I ball my hands into fists. He has no idea how much I want to punch him right now.

"Actually Brandon he's more of a man then you will ever be." Teddy says as she pushes his arm off her. "A real man isn't afraid to admit when he's wrong or to apologize for something as small as snapping at someone. You're definition of being a man is far different from mine. Right now if you're wanting me to go on that date with you, I suggest you apologize to both Zayn and I. You need to apologize to Zayn for calling him names and for offending me." Teddy says as she wraps her arm around my waste and I'm quick to do the same. She really is something else and I'm glad to call her my friend, for now.

Brandon is all red in the face but I can't tell if he's upset or embarrassed.

"There is no way I am apologizing to either of you. I'm to good for that shit." He huffs glaring at me.

"Well then I guess I'm to good to go on a date with a dick like you then huh? Zayn what was that place you wanted to take me?" Teddy asks and it makes me feel so much better that she is doing it to piss Brandon off. We are truly one in the same when it comes to him. 

"I was planning on taking you to the The Big 4. It's like a star away from being a five star restaurant. It's decorated marvelously and it reminds me of how the titanic was decorated just not all the white. It also gives you that homey feel."

"Sounds like a lovely place. Mind if we go there tonight? I could sure use a good ole night out." I can tell she is enjoying this and I'm not going to ruin it for her.

"Alright, enough! My fucking god if it means that much to you, Zayn I'm sorry for saying you're not manly, even though I'm pretty much right there. Teddy, I'm sorry for offending you the way I did. Will you both forgive me?"

"I forgive you Brandon but the question is, does Zayn? I mean that wasn't a very nice apology in my book." God I love this girl.

"I don't accept his apology at all. If he got on one knee and said it maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to accept it." I hear Brandon mumble a few curse words but he reluctantly got on his knees. 

"Zayn will you please accept my apology?" He asks in a rude manor and I'm not going to push him any farther. Having him actually getting on his knees and apologizing was enough.

"Brandon there really was no need to get on your knees, I accept your apology." He glares at me and stands up quickly.

"Ill pick you up at 7." He says and then walks off.

"Serves him right! And for your apology Zayn, I accept. Thank you so much for the flowers and I'm sure your family will forgive you. They love you and love conquers all." That sounds like something Liam would say, minus the part about the flowers. "I have to go I have to get to class. Hang out after school, my place?"

"What about Brandon. Won't your new boyfriend get mad if he sees me there when he comes to get you?" She laughs at me to the point where tears are streaming down her cheeks.

"Boyfriend? Last I checked I was single. I could care less about what Brandon thinks. I control who my friends are not him. So my place? We could watch a movie and eat pizza since we didn't get to yesterday."

"Well in that case count me in. Straight after school or do you want to wait a little while?"

"Right after is fine with me. Maybe this time my mom will join us and it won't be as awkward." She flashes me a quick smile before she darts off to class.

"Well bye to you too little miss!" I scream after her. I can't help but do a little dance. She is actually wanting to hang out with me after what happened yesterday.

Now am I buying the pizza or is she?

It's short and sucks but I'm trying. I know its long over due as well but Angie and I have been really busy. Plus with me working and her having a boyfriend, we barely speak to one another.
