Heartbreak [zjm]

11. Hand-holding

"Now I see your heart's been taken, and nothing could be worse, baby I loved you first."

We got inside the restaurant and saw Niall sitting next to a blond haired girl. She had gorgeous long hair and when she turned around I saw her smile. Her teeth were so white it made my eyes hurt a little bit.

"I'm Finley," she greeted Louis first and then Harry with hugs.

"I'm Belle," I said to her and hugged her.

"Where is Zayn?" Louis asked.

"About that, I saw him on a date with Heather."

"Oh yeah, he left New Year's Eve for her," I said and they all stared at me.

"You didn't tell him it was a bad idea?"

"No because that would have caused unnecessary drama in the group," I shrugged.

Liam eventually came and we ordered our food and ate, making some small talk when Zayn and Heather walked up to us.

"Look who finally showed up," Louis rolled his eyes.

"Sorry," Zayn laughed and they sat down. Finley eyed them the whole time.

"Finley, you look amazing! Even better than when I saw you before," Heather failed to compliment.

"What was wrong with her before?" Niall asked slowly.

"Nothing, I just meant that she cleans up well."

Finley rolled her eyes and we all kept eating. These last few days with the group have been very awkward. Heather and Zayn surely didn't help with their gazes.

"It was so great to finally meet all of you," Finley said hugging each of us goodbye.

"You too Finley, I hope we can hang out some other time," I hugged her back.

It was about a week from when all of that happened when Zayn apparently had an episode in front of Heather. Harry had figured out his sexuality, gay, and he confided in Louis and I. Harry also broke up with Danielle and told her the truth.

Zayn and I had gotten no where and he was just moping around a lot.

Louis Tomlinson 

"Zayn, you really need to get over Heather," I said wearily. 

"You just don't understand my love for her, man," he was really sad ever since she broke up with him.

"Sure she's hot but come on, I think there are other girls for you in this world." 

"Like who?"

Belle. 

My mind screamed at me to say her name but for some reason I couldn't.

"I dont know, man, you will find that one girl someday," I said sympathetically. 

I can't believe that Zayn doesn't see the girl that is right in front of him. Speaking of Belle, she walked up to us after our last class to talk.

"Hey guys," Belle smiled. 

"Hey Belle," Zayn replied quietly. 

"Zayn, Harry, and I were thinking of going to the mall in a few, do you want to go?" I asked on impulse. Zayn gave me a look and she nodded.

"Sure, I'll go."
