Baby, I Loved You First (complete)

Chapter 18: Extra Extra

"It happened last night. Tom was driving and I'm with him, we're on our way home, I saw Zayn drunk, walking in the heavy rain that's pouring and we took him to our home. Well, it's just... Zayn kissed me last night. I I think, Tom saw us." I say, sad and disappointed of myself.

"Did you kiss Zayn back?" Danielle asks me straight to my eyes. I don't know what to answer as if I've forgotten what happened. I just shake my head in response.

"I just feel so bad for myself." I say. "Ava, tell me, Tom or Zayn?" Danielle asks me. "You know Tom's a great guy, but he can do anything to make you happy, he can set you free." Danielle says.

"I don't want to lose him. Especially now, I learnt to love him." I say with a worry in my face. "Then why can't you just forget Zayn? Ava, do you know how it hurts much for Tom when he sees you with Zayn especially he does know that you like him. Even though your relationship with Zayn is like the friends-enemies thing, you should know your limits with him. Think of Tom. He falls in love so deep, so you better take good care of him because he waited long for you." Danielle says and sips from her shake.

Slowly, I absorb what she said, it's helping me though, and she's right.

"Would you apologize to him and clear things up?" She asks me. "I don't know what to do. I feel so wrong." I say while I shake my head. "I know you can. He's pretending he doesn't know it to prevent the awkwardness, just approach him and spend some time with him as you pay from what you did." Danielle says with a smile.

I then nod.

I soon as I get home, almost late night, and tomorrow's Monday.

"Where's Tom?" I ask Louis. "He left. Didn't he call you?" Louis asks me. "Don't need to." I say and went up to my room bringing the bags me and Danielle bought.

I change my clothes, and lay at my bed.

Danielle is right. If I knew that Zayn just kissed me, I should have pushed him away quickly.

It's now hard for me to move away from Tom since I've developed my feelings and love for him. I don't wanna lose him.

I'll apologize to him tomorrow. It's Monday, he has training 'til 10PM, my classes will end at 4PM, I can probably meet him up, surprise him, the two of us.

The next day in school, Eleanor and Danielle were with me.

"What time will we be going home?" I ask Eleanor. "4PM or 5PM, why?" She answers and asks me back.

"She'll apologize to Tom." Danielle answers. "I will, really. I must." I say with a smile. "Why not now?" Eleanor asks. "I know he'll be the only guy by that time. It'll be better when it's just the two of us together." I say.

Eleanor and Danielle left and I went to the pool where I know is going. I'll surprise him.

I see him walking, I can see it's him because of his shirt with his name at his back and I sneak to follow him. As he gets in their locker room, I still follow him since he's the only one.

I stopped at the side and looked at him talking to someone.

I can't hear what they're talking about but as I look closely...

He's talking to a girl. With blonde hair. Is he... What? I can see his fingers running through the girl's hair and he reaches the girl's cheek for a kiss.

I slowly cried and accidentally tapped the locker at my back where I was leaning to and cried away running.

I normally walked out the pool court, whatever it is called, like nothing happened.
