Boundaries ➳ z.m. au

We're now headed to my house. My head is leaning on the window of the car and it's raining hard. Until I remember something.

Ansel.

"Shit."

I don't know why but I really forgot about him. And to leave him just like that without his knowledge that im leaving with zayn. Im a bad friend. That's a first impression that I know he's thinking right now.

I get my phone out of my pocket and I see messages from Ansel.

From: Ansel

Jessica where are you?

.

From: Ansel

Are you still with Zayn? It's raining hard now.

.

From: Ansel

Jess answer me. Are you okay? Im not going to leave here until you message me where are you.

.

"Ohmygod."

"Whats wrong?", zayn glances at me for a moment before looking at the road again.

"I forgot to text Ansel. I think he's still waiting for me there.", worry takes over my face and now i'm tapping my thumb on the screen of my phone.

"Just call him or text him and tell him that you're with me and that you're okay now."

"okay.", I tap the call button and press my phone to my ear. He picked up on the first ring.

"Hello Jessica. Where are you??", he said and I chuckle at his worriedness. I remember someone to him.

"Calm down.", I heard him sigh and I continue what im gonna say. "I'm okay. I'm with Zayn and im safe. I really am so sorry that I leave you without telling you. It's just Zayn in-"

"No. No it's okay. I just need to know if you're safe and sound. I'm going home now. Goodnight and goodbye Jess. See you tomorrow."

"Okay. Bye and sorry again. Goodnight Ansel."

"Bye.", he hung up the phone and I sighed.

"What did he say?", Zayn asks and I look at him and then to my hands.

"Well, he said that it's really okay and to know that i'm safe with you.", I start to scratch my jeans - a habit that I always do when im worried about something. Zayn grab my hand that I use for scratching and hold it glancing between me and the road.

"That's good. But what's wrong? What are you worrying about?", zayn asks. A frown takes over his face.

"It's just - I feel bad for him. I mean just to leave him like that i i don't know.", He took my hand in his glancing between me and the road.

"Jess, don't worry. i'm sure he'll accept your explanation.", he smiles at me and continue to drive.

I walked down the hallway and go to my locker. There's only a few students here so I must be early today. I walk to my locker to drop and get a few things for my first period.

I see Ansel leaning against a wall with his phone on his ear staring at the floor. I walk towards him. He doesn't notice me at first but when i think he senses that i'm not leaving at my place or anything he looked up to me.

"I'll call you later.", he hangs his phone and smile at me.

"Uh hey."

"Hi.", i lightly smile looking everywhere but him. I start to fiddle with my fingers. I can't start the talking. It just feels so awkward. For me. "There's something you want to tell me?", he asks.

"Uh..", he nudge my shoulder so i look at him and smiles.

"Okay, so you want to say sorry? am i right?", he asks with a smile and I nod my head. "Jess...it's okay, it didn't bother me I promise. You don't need to say sorry to me okay? I understand. And Alex's shift's also ended that time so i just waited for her and gave her a ride"

"Oh. Okay..." I smiled. "So, we're okay now?", i asked.

"Of course of course!", he smiled. "are you headed to your class now?", i nodded my head as we said our goodbyes and part our ways.
