American Dream (Zayn Malik AU Fanfic)

Old Friend

"You have the damn nerve to look me in the eyes?!" He asked her, fists clenched.

"Excuse me? And you're the one to talk? At least I didn't fall off the face of the earth without saying goodbye!" She spat.

"Oh really? After what you did? Why the hell would I tell you goodbye?"

"What the hell did I do?! That's what I'd like to know!"

"You know what's funny? You're exactly like your mother! Cold and fucking bitter. Congratulations Cecilia Cox, you've become the person you said you'd never be." Harry spat.

"Cox? It's Cecilia Black." Eleanor spoke up, cutting the tension in the room.

Harry's eyes widened as he looked at her. "You took your mother's last name?!"

"Why the hell do you care?! You never spoke to me after that day! Why would you care what the hell I do?!"

"You're that embarrassed of the family that you took your mother's last name? Oh, I'd love to see your dad's reaction."

"I didn't have a choice. I was 16! She changed it for me. Not that you would know!"

"Why the hell should I?! You fucking told me off via text message!"

Cecilia looked at Harry with wide eyes. "W-What? I...I didn't..."

"You didn't what?!"

"Harry you ignored me after they fought! I tried calling you but I couldn't get to you! I never told you off!" Cecilia cried, defending herself.

"I still have the damn message saved! It broke me so much that I couldn't delete it. It's just that pathetic how much you meant to me."

"And you didn't mean anything to me?!"

"Don't try to play innocent. If I meant anything to you, you wouldn't have told me what you did in the message."

"What fucking message?!" She cussed.

Cecilia barely cusses but when she does, it's bad.

"Here look at it!"

[An hour earlier]

"I can't believe we're actually in California!" Cecilia squealed as she looked at Zayn and Louis.

Louis chuckled as he shook his head. "You really love this place, don't ya?"

"Love is an understatement." She replied, smiling.

Zayn smiled at the excited girl in front of him, thinking that she couldn't get any more adorable than she already is.

"Cecilia!"

She turned around to see her best friend that she's missed so much. "ELEANOR!"

At the sound of his girlfriend's name, Louis' head snapped up and towards the direction Cecilia was running as his eyes widened. "What the fuck!?"

"Mate..." Zayn whispered, wide eyed.

Too busy hugging her best friend, Eleanor didn't notice the two boys in front of her.

"El?!"

Her eyes widened at the voice she's missed so much, as her lips parted slightly. "Louis?!...LOUIS!" She screamed as she let go of Cecilia and ran towards her boyfriend.

Cecilia looked at the two with furrowed eyebrows. But as realization dawned on her, her eyes widened. "You're the Louis?!"

After pulling away from his girlfriend, Louis smirked. "The one and only."
