Back and Forth

Chapter Two

   A 'ding dong' sound rings through the house indicating someone is at Zayn's gate. I rush to the foyer pushing the speaker button. Zayn had this whole security system set up when a few crazy fans broke in. No one was home, but it wasn't hard to find out who did it when they talked about it on twitter and posted pictures.

   "Mandy!?" I say excited to see her.

   "Hey! Let us through! I brought ice cream and ingredients to make cupcakes!" she says just as excited. I buzz them in and wait by the door for them. Once they get inside I tackle Mandy with a hug. I haven't seen her in almost a month.

   "Hey Jason," I smile at him and hug him too. Jason use to be my bestfriend, that's how I met Mandy. We stopped talking a couple months after I started dating Zayn. He didn't really approve of our relationship.

   "Hey Kase," he squeezes me. "Where is Mr. Dickhead?" he asks referring to Zayn.

   I pull away and look down, "Uh he went out."

   "And your are okay with that?" he asks looking at me skeptically. Honestly, no I'm not. But I know that he only went out tonight because he was mad at me.

   "Yeah," I nod, lying.

   "Well let's put this ice cream up before it melts and start making the cupcake!" Mandy cheers, knowing I don't want to speak about Zayn anymore with Jason.

   We all walk into the kitchen and I take the Pizza out of the oven. We will eat it while cooking the cupcake. We all grab a piece and begin eating. I set it down for a moment as I grab the eggs for the cupcake recipe.

   "After tonight I'm going to gain like thirty pounds," Mandy says with pizza stuffed in her mouth. I scrunch my nose up in disgust and laugh at her.

   "Don't worry, I'll still love you," Jason tells her and wraps his arms around her waist. I smile at their cute couple moment and continue to eat my pizza.

   Tonight will be great even without Zayn. I just need to not worry about him and have fun. Surely, that's what he is doing. Honestly, sometimes being with Zayn is more complicated than I could ever imagine. We seem to argue a lot and we always do thing we shouldn't in spite of eachother. That's probably why so many disapprove of us.

   "Oh babe could you go get our bags for tonight out of the car?" Mandy asks Jason. "My charger is in it and my phone is about to die."

   "Sure," he mumbles, obviously not wanting to but still doing it. Mandy smiles at him and kisses his cheek. He smiles and walks out to get it.

   "Now spill," she points her finger at me. "What were you and Zayn arguing about this time?"

   "We ate lunch with my parents," I state as if it explains everything.

   "Ooh," She nods, understanding.

   "Yep, well he was purposely trying to get on my mother's nerves and I told him something," I explain.

   "And he didn't take it well?"

   "Nope," I shrug. "So he went out tonight and left me alone. So I called you. I absolutely hate when he is gone. This house is so big and I'm always extremely lonely."

   "Well don't you two skype and shit?" she takes another bite of her pizza.

   "Rarely," I admit. "He is always so busy."

   "Have you talk to him about it?"

   "No, I knew how busy he would be, considering how huge he is everywhere, when I decided to date him."
