Chapter 40: Messy Outcome

ZAYN POV

I, Zayn Malik, am officially done with Harry.

The mind games, the ignoring, I just can't handle all of this. And on top of that, I have two exams to study for.

A relationship, if I would even call whatever we had one, shouldn't be this stressful.

It all started when he just sent me a text for Valentine's Day. He told me we couldn't meet up because he was sick. After that, he just ignored me for a week.

I would try to speak to him at school but he would always be occupied.

So I just gave up. This isn't Tom and Jerry. This chasing cat and mouse game are officially over!

If he doesn't want to be in this relationship he could've said that instead of ignoring me. This is why I took it upon myself to block him. I blocked his phone number. I blocked him on Instagram and I blocked him in real life.

I need to focus on school and applying for college. Not some immature hot teacher that can't express his emotions clearly.

I slammed my locker door shut and nearly had a heart attack when Justin appeared in front of me.

I placed a hand over my heart. "Jeez, are you trying to scare me?"

He chuckled. "Sorry, I didn't mean to."

I playfully rolled my eyes. "Yeah okay."

Justin squeezed my bicep before pulling at a piece of my hair. He's been more touchy-feely lately. I don't know if it's just him feeling more comfortable around me or what but I'm not complaining. He's fun to be around.

"Hey, can you ask your boyfriend to take a stick out of his ass?"

I grimaced at Justin. "We aren't dating anymore!" I rebutted.

Justin chuckled. "What crawled up your ass and died? And really? Why'd you break up?"

I shrugged not in the mood to talk about Harry. "I don't know. Go ask him. I'm done talking about this."

Justin removed his hand off me and put them up. "Okay, I won't. Sorry. Let's drop the subject then."

I wanted to tell him what happened so I can vent. All of this bottled up inside of me wasn't good. I bit my lip. "Harry started ignoring me. My texts...even at school."

Justin looked at me in confusion. "Is that why you guys don't speak in class anymore?"

I nodded. "Wow, he's an ass. But you already recognize that."

I gave him a funny look. "What are you talking about?"

Justin raised an eyebrow. "Really, Zayn? You have NO idea what I'm talking about?"

I glared at him. "Obviously not if I'm asking you. Come on, spit it out."

He ran a hand through his hair. "This isn't the first time you've had issues with Harry. I don't want to add my input but I think you need it."

I crossed my arms. "No, say it!"

He sighed. "I don't think Harry is a good boyfriend. You need someone who's more consistent. He comes and goes. He seems closed off....thats my opinion though." He quickly added.
