Afraid

13.

Zayn's POV
After I picked up Alex from her house, she seemed odd, not herself. I was worried but I tried not to worry too much. She stood silent, and her smile wasn't as bright as usually days.

In history class she was really focused, not bothering to talk to me. When the bell rang, we walked to her locker, and she got her book for English, then gave me a kiss on my cheek. I left to physics class, Liam and I had to do a stupid presentation. Liam talked the whole time as I just stood there nodding my head acting like I knew what he was talking about.

As the bell rang for lunch, Liam and I walked outside to the back field to our table. I sat there waiting for Alex, but she didn't show up. Harry and Louis showed up all smiling. Nobody knows that They're dating except me and the boys along with Harry's family and Alex. I'm not sure that Louis told his parents yet.

I get my phone out and text her:
Me- where are you, I miss you :(

I hit send, and wait for her to show up.

I see a bunch of people by the vending machine cheering "FIGHT FIGHT" I think nothing of it, then I see the school police escorting Jackie inside the building. She looks at me and smiles. It sends chills through my body.

I see Candice walking towards me "Have you seen Alex? We left English together but then she went to the vending machine and I haven't seen her since. That was nearly 15minutes ago."

"No I haven't seen her. I texted her but she hasn't replied. There was a fight over there. But I don think it was Alex. I know it was Jackie." I say and Niall winks at Candice. She blushes and looks back at me.

"Okay, thanks. Bye Zayn." Candice leaves, and Niall whistles.

Liam laughs "alright mate, you like Alex's friend?"

Niall shakes his head "she is hot. I liked her since last year, but I am not her type. I asked her out last year and she rejected me." Niall frowns, and I continue to look for Alex.

Harry chuckles and Louis smiles at Harry " why? You're Irish? That's a catch!"

"She was going out with Greg." Niall says.

Harry laughs "Greg the guy with the long hair?" Louis slaps him "you have long hair too Harry."

Harry stops laughing "Be quiet louis. I wasn't talking to you. Besides you like it. You braid it!"

Louis gasps "Only because you ask." Harry does his little boy smile.

We just laugh at them, and Harry moves his seat further away from Louis.

My phone vibrates, it's Alex:
Alex- sorry, I am upstairs taking a test. I miss you too.

I look at my phone confused. Candice said Alex left to the vending machine?

Me- Candice said you went to the vending machine?

Alex- yeah, then I realized I had to make up a test that I missed yesterday. Duhhh!

Alex is so childish.

Me- sorry Alex.

I waited after school for Alex, when she came walking out with Martin laughing. I ball my fist, because she is laughing hard like she does when I make her laugh. I'm jealous, and mad.

I don't trust him, he hangs out with Stan. Alex looks my way and waves to me, she hugs Martin goodbye, and he looks at me. He smirks, that fucker. I look away, Alex walks to me and smiles "Hi handsome."

"Hi." I say rudely, taking my anger out on her. She looks at me with a disgusted look.

She knows. She walks away from me, and towards my car. I follow her to my car. I unlock the doors and she jumps inside besides me. I grip the wheel, and look at her. Her breathing is fast, her arms crossed over her chest. I pissed her off. I start my car, and drive.
