Whatever It Takes

Chapter 40, "Did you love me?"

Harry's POV

I carefully watched as Zayn entered his bedroom carrying Jayda. I was immediately going to go in but I wanted to see exactly where this was heading. I leaned on the wall by his door patiently waiting.

About 5 minutes later Zayn walked out with no shirt and only sleeping pants.

"Harry?.. man what's up?" He asked confused. I pushed him aside peeping into the room. Jayda was fast asleep in his bed. Zayn annoyingly blocked my view by closing the door silently.

"Don't start Harry," he warned.

"You can't have her Zayn no matter how hard you keep trying," I said infuriated.

"Really," he scoffed. "She is pissed at you right now and that's what you have to say?"

"You know it's true."

He started to laugh hysterically.

"What's funny," I questioned.

"Harry you need to check yourself. Jayda and I are just friends! So what if it seems like more, you know damn well she's in love with you and not me. Get it together before you lose her," Zayn snapped, walking off.

"Oh and I'm not sleeping in my room with her if you're worried," he mocked.

I stood there getting a grasp of Zayns words. He was right, I do need to get it together before I lose her but she is so stubborn.

I walked into Zayns room staring at Jayda as she slept. She looked so fragile and beautiful that I just wanted to kiss her. I sat in the chair fiddling with my hair.

30 minutes later.....

"Harry?..." Jayda questioned squinting her eyes at me.

"Yeah it's me," I said nervously.

"What are you doing in here?"

"Watching you sleep," I smiled. She didn't smile back so I immediately cleared my throat.

"I'm fine, you can go," she sighed.

"No Jayda we have to talk about this and I won't leave until we do," I threatened.

"Fine," she pouted. "Explain what you and Kendall were talking about."

I sighed, "Everything I said about me and Kendall was true. I just left out the part where I didn't tell her about you."

She nodded her head in what looked like disgust almost.

"Neither of you knew about each other. I don't why I didn't say anything about it but I wish I would've," I pleaded.

"Harry you and Kendall are more than what you claim to be."

"We're really great friends and we were close so yeah it seemed that way but I knew I was with you so nothing ever happened, I swear it."

"That's not the point. The point is for those months she was there and I wasn't," she said, fighting back tears. I leaned up to go by her side but she raised her hand stopping me.

"Our worlds colliding wasn't a mistake and I don't regret it but who was I to believe that we could actually get through all the misfortune."

"Jayda don't..."

"Harry being with you was the best thing ever but I can't always be there for you just like you can't always be there for me," she sighed.

"Jayda no! Stop!" I said covering my ears. I didn't even know I was crying until the teardrops constantly hit my shirt.
