Alix's point of view.....
The world comes to focus, and I find myself staring up at the ceiling. Someone is humming in the background, and there is a familiar smell hanging around. A boy smell. I try to shift my head and groan. Footsteps come toward me
"Welcome back Sleeping Beauty," Zayn says. Wait! ZAYN? I'm in ZAYN'S room? Holy crap!
"What?" My mouth feels dry, and I cough. Zayn helps me sit up, and offers me a glass of water. I drink thirstily
"What happened?" I ask
"You blacked out" Zayn says bluntly
"Well duh," I mumble "but before that"
"Uhhhh....." Zayn says uncertainly "you and your girlfriends had a screaming contest and I think you lost...." I moan, everything coming back to me. Zayn looks concerned
"Does your head hurt? You hit the ground pretty hard"
"No! I'm fine!" I reassure him "it's just, well, my best friends in the whole wide world hate me"
"Elizabeth doesn't hate you," Zayn offers "she's with Liam at the moment"
"Liam?" I say "why is she with Liam?"
"Well, Harry and Niall went to try and find Louis, and Lea obviously won't comfort her soooooo....." I nod
"Alix?" Zayn says "why did you pass out today?" I shift nervously. I have never told anyone this. Ever!
"I have this thing...." I say slowly "I can't stand it when people fight. Whenever they do, things just go.....crazy, and I, can't take it" I bury my head in my hands "it's not usually this bad, but everyone was yelling and-"
"Hey, it's okay!" Zayn says quietly, wrapping an arm around my shoulders "it's alright"
"I'm a horrible friend!" I cry, tears trickling down my cheeks "I should have told Lea! I suck at this! Lea and Elizabeth will never speak to me again! I'm a terrible person!"
"No Alix!" Zayn says, squeezing me tighter "you are a great friend! You always think of others before yourself and you take care of everyone! You're a beautiful person and I......I" he takes a breath "I love you!" I stop sobbing, and stare up at him
"You do?" I whisper "you really love me?"
"I really do" Zayn replies. Leaning in, he kisses me
His lips are soft and sweet. At first, I am surprised, but then relax into the kiss. Zayn puts his arms around my waist and I wrap mine around his neck. We kiss for what seems like hours before Zayn pulls away
"Alix?" He says
"Mmmm?" I mumble
"Do you love me?" I open my eyes, and stare deeply into his brown ones
"Yes," I reply "more than anything" Zayn keys out a breath
"Thank goodness for that!" He says cheerfully "or I would have made a right fool out of myself!" He stands up pulling me with him
"Let's go get something to eat" I grab his hand and he leads me to the kitchen.
(Sorry this chapter is short! I won't mention any names but some people were pestering me (ahem! NICOLA, SHAE! I would like to dedicate this chapter to 1D-4eva for being the friend who DIDN'T rush me! Please comment! I would like to get up to 1000 reads!
Love Alix!)
