Best thing ever ♡

♡♡TWENTY THREE ♡♡

Charlotte's p.o.v. . .

I reached home after almost fifteen minutes of driving from Starbucks. Tyler wasn't home yet. So I went to my room and got changed into a pair of comfy yoga pants and a simple tee.

I then decided to complete a few of my assignments which were due next week.

I worked on the assignments for the next two hours and once I was done, I went downstairs to grab a bit of little something.

I made myself a sandwich and settled on the couch in the living room switching on the television.

I flipped through channels but there was nothing interesting playing and so I switched it off and took my phone out to check the time. It was just nine in evening and because I had nothing else to do I decided on going off to bed.

I was lying awake on my bed when the front door creaked open and then closed. It's probably Tyler I thought. but I had to know for sure so I slowly got out of my bed and went downstairs. It was Tyler indeed and he had a huge evil grin plastered on his face.

And trust me or not but it made me pretty uncomfortable.

"Enjoyed your coffee sis?" He asked sarcastically.

Oh so now he's being smart with me. I never like it when people taunt me or act extra smart with me.

"Yes I very much did!" I replied putting my hands on my hips.

" That's sad cuz you're not gonna have coffee like that for a while now!" He said with a smirk and with that he walked away.

What the hell was that supposed to mean? Did he do something to Zayn? No no he couldn't have. But what of he did? Ugh! I'm just over thinking things I thought.

I pushed all the thoughts away and went back to my bed and soon I was engulfed by sleep.

I was currently seated in history class listening to a lecture by Mr. Harley. He was one of my favourite lecturers in the school. I don't know if it was his teachings or my love for history that made me like his lectures but whatever it was, his lectures always managed to take my mind off things.

I noticed that Zayn had not come to school today and so my mind wandered off to yesterday when Tyler taunted me about going out with Zayn. I had that feeling in my gut that something was wrong owing to Tyler's extremely calm attitude towards mine and Zayn's meeting.

So after school, I drove to Zayn's house for the tutoring session. I parked my car in the driveway and walked to the porch area. I knocked on the door a few times but no one opened it.

I called him and he picked his phone after the first ring.

"Oh Charlotte... umm.. hey! Ssup? " He said from the end of the line rather nervously.

"Hey! Open the door. I'm waiting outside!" I said

"Umm.... actually I'm not home right now!" He said and I could sense a hint of hesitation in his voice.

"What are you talking about? I see your car in the driveway and you room's light is on. Do you think I'm that dumb? " I asked getting slightly annoyed.

"Umm... no actually.. I didn't mean it like that... its just that .. I don't know. ." He fumbled and that's when I heard a feminine voice in the background. Oh so he was with someone. Some girl in fact. And so he didn't want me to come. Suddenly my heart sank at the thought and jealousy took over me.

"It's okay. I mean I can totally understand if you're with someone and you don't want me to take the take the tutoring session." I said reluctantly "but we'll have to do over time tomorrow okay? "

"No no no! I'm not with anyone" he said hurriedly " it's just my doctor" he said followed by a few incoherent words, probably curse words.

"Doctor? Are you alright? " I asked worried

"Just wait I'll be at the door." He sighed and I heard shuffling in the background.

I was greeted by a fair woman probably in her early thirties at the door. Probably the doctor I guess.

"Umm..where's Zayn? " I asked.

"Come on. He's upstairs in his room." She said walking towards the staircase and so I took it as a sign for me to follow her.

"Is he alright? " I asked on our way to his room.

"See for yourself" she said opening the door to Zayn's room.

My hand automatically flew to my open mouth on seeing the sight before me.

Zayn was lying on his bed with a black eye, ten to twenty cuts on his face followed by some more down his neck, a fractured arm, a few more cuts on his exposed chest and stomach and his left leg covered with nearly fifty bandages.

"Omg! Zayn what happened?" I asked running up to his bed.

"Umm.. nothing. Just a little gift from your lovely brother!" He said trying to be sarcastic but not helping the situation at all.

"Tyler did this?" I asked sitting next to him on his bed.

"Who else would do it?" He asked raising g his eyebrows

"I'm so so so sorry!!" I said " I bet it's because we were having coffee together isn't it?"

"Yeah I think so" he said awkwardly.

"Okay then we'll not meet in public from now on" I said trying to calm myself.

"What? No way! Nothing can stop me from meeting you okay!" He said trying to get up but I put my hands on his shoulders motioning for him to lay down again.

"But Zayn..."

"No buts please. We are free to do whatever want." He said

"Not at the cost of your health!" I said sternly.

He sighed closing his eyes momentarily.

"I have a solution!" he said opening his eyes.

"And what would that be?" I asked

"Be my girlfriend!" he blurted

"Huh?" I asked a little taken aback  "that does not make any sense!"

"It makes perfect sense! If we're together, nothing in this world could take us down. Not even Tyler! What's he gonna at the most huh? Kick you out? It's totally fine because if he does that, you're always welcomed here to stay at my house." He said grinning at the last sentence.

"Yeah sure!" I said rolling my eyes.

"What? I'm serious!" He said putting his hands up.

"Really? " I asked suprised.

I didn't think he was serious until now. I didn't know what to do now. I liked him but I never thought about becoming his girlfriend. But why not? I thought and so I replied saying a simple okay

"Okay?" He asked confused "are you saying you'll be my girlfriend? "

I smiled seeing the excitement in his eyes.

"Yeah" I said nodding slightly.
