Figure 8

22. Taking it seriously.

~Zayn's POV~

I haven't talk to Mason since yesterday cause her mom feels skeptical about me. Which is honestly nothing personal, I understand that boys who get into fights aren't the best people. So her mom wants her to lay off for a bit. But we still text everyday and make out every chance get. I guess you could call that laying off.

"Why are you guys here?" I keep my eyes fixed on them.

"For shits and giggles, let us in we're not the cops." Anthony gently pushes the door open and Danny follows behind him.

"Where's your family?"

"Out doing shit, dad's at work. It's just me and Waliyha and her stupid boyfriend." I walk up the stairs as they plop on the couch.

"He's not my boyfriend." She whines.I stop at the door and glare at the boy.

"I'm gonna be downstairs. Don't try some shit that you know I'll kick your ass for." I say and he nods, fearless.

"Ignore him, he's just being protective." Waliyha shrugs.

"Ignore me and you'll see what happens."

I go into my room and take my phone off my bed to text Mason who's about to go to cheer practice.

Me: Baaabbeee(:

"Zayn you don't have any snacks." Danny complains.

"I don't care. Let's do something while you guys are here. I'm bored."

Mason: I'll see you soooonn(:

"How about the graffiti shed?" They both look at me and I shrug and stand up.

"Let's go." I conclude. "Brodie even though I'm outside I'm fucking watching you kid."

"I know, chill out bro." He disrespects me.

"Who the fuck does he think he's talking to?" I mumble walking towards the stairs but Anthony pushes me out the door.

"Aw that's so damn cute Zayn." He looks at the graffiti from when I asked out Mason. He picks out a spray can and shakes it's getting ready to spray it.

"Anthony what are you doing?" I stand up quickly.

"Oh you guys haven't broken up?" He narrows his eyes.

"Uhm no."

"Shit. That's pretty cool." He laughs."What's with the tape on your face?"

"It's not tape dumbass, I fractured my nose." I refuse to tell them why.

"You look like a wuss." Anthony says cheekily.

"My girlfriend said I have to leave it on but-" I rip off the bandage and wince a little. "Are you guys high?" I smirk shaking my spray can.

"Yeah." They look at each other and laugh.

"Bree says she misses you." Danny smirks.

"Who the fuck is Bree?" I think out loud.

"The girl you had a thing with before you moved out here."

"She misses me? That's funny." I shrug. "I want a cookie."

"You shouldn't take one." Anthony steps back.

"Oh well I'm taking two." I snatch the M&M cookie bag out of his hand and take two.

"We should go to their football game in Bradford. We have enough time to drive."

***

An hour or so later we get to Bradford, since Danny being eighteen, he goes to buy us Bourbon and the nearest store. It's our thing together, all of us drink Bourbons in this city. Hence the name we made, Bradford Bourbons.
