13: O vercome Her Words

Chanel is still standing outside the shower and screaming. So Zayn races to turn off the water.

"ZAYN! WHAT THE HELL?!"

"I can explain." He says shakily.

"YES, PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY OUR NEIGHBOR IS NAKED AND IN OUR SHOWER WITH YOU!"

He steps out of the shower and she takes a wide step back so she doesn't have to touch him.

"I... um..."

When Zayn can't get it out. She turns to Harry who is leaning comfortably against the wall just outside the shower as if this is his home.

"You're seriously still here and you haven't even bothered to cover up with me in your presence? Guess you just have no shame, huh?! WELL, FUCK YOU, YOU REPUGNANT AND ABOMINABLE HOMEWRECKER!"

"Okay, you know what I have to say to you-" Harry leans off the wall and starts his way to her. But Zayn reaches out and touches his chest.

"Harry, please."

"What? I'm not going to let her talk to me like that."

She puts her hand on her hips. "I can talk to you like I want. You're tresspassing in my house. And you don't know me."

"I know enough to know I don't want to know you."

"Oh, you really wanna go there with me?"

Before Harry can say anything else, Zayn fully faces him.

"Harry, please stop it. Don't do this. Just go."

"Zayn."

"Please. Just go. Just get dressed and leave." He's begging Harry.

"But what's going to happen with you?"

"I'll be fine."

"Zayn."

But he looks Harry in his eyes. "Listen to me. I know you care about me. But I have to do this alone. Okay?"

Harry doesn't really want to leave Zayn alone with her. There's no way to know what she might do especially with her being as angry as she is. But he trusts Zayn to finally speak up for himself. So he leaves him be and puts his scrubs back on so he can go home.

"I cannot believe you, Zayn. I CAN'T! HOW IS THIS EVEN REAL RIGHT NOW?"

Zayn looks down. He's ashamed. It wasn't supposed to be like this. He was supposed to be able to prepare for this first. So he could break it to her easy.

"I'm sorry."

"Sorry?! That's all you have to say to me? We're supposed to be getting married in a month and half! I'm supposed to come home to you welcoming me with hugs and kisses. I'm not supposed to come home and find you having sex with our neighbor in the shower!"

"I-"

"And after everything we have just done too. All the preparation. I bought a dress! I booked a venue! I hired a catering service! We already sent out invitations! How could you do that to ME?!" She puts her hands in her hair. "And it doesn't even make sense. It makes no sense at all! Him, Zayn? HE'S A MAN!"
