CHAPTER 8
ZAYN'S POINT OF VIEW
I just kept thinking to myself why hadn't I met this girl before? We had so much in common. The past months me and the guys had been touring around and we only saw hysterical girls saying that they loved us without even talking to us. They'd grab us and took pictures with us and none of them realized how superficial that was.
Sophie, on the other hand, didn't seem to care about the fact that I was famous. It didn't seem to bother her at all…I guess that's why she was so easy to talk to. She saw me for who I was and not for whom she wanted me to be.
Everything was hitting off great, when I noticed that the boy she had come with was walking towards us. To be honest I immediately disliked him as we met. I guess it was the way he looked at Sophie, as if he owned her. He wrapped his hands around his waist and told her they needed to talk. By the look on her face I realized she was upset I just couldn't tell if she was upset because she didn't like him or because I had found out that she was only pretending to like me as the two of them were together.
Because I didn't want to feel like a fool I stood up and went away, leaving them behind. As I headed back to the house I realized I had been a complete jerk to think that any girl could see me as more than just a singer. I felt so humiliated. She had been pretending the whole time; I guess that's just the way it is. Harry was right after all. He always used to say not to expect a lot from girls as we always get our heart broken.
SOPHIE'S POV
I abruptly got up and turned around. I was now face to face with Peter. All week I've been hoping for this moment and now…well it didn't feel right. I was pissed. I just wanted to scream I hate you but as tried to….
ZAYN'S POV
I decided to go back. I wanted to prove Harry that he was wrong, I wanted to prove him that not all the girls are the same and that every once in a while we meet people who are worth fighting for, but more than that I wanted to prove to myself that she was different. That she was different…that she was special.
Tough, when I reached the garden, all my love theories, all my silly hopes over a girl I had just met fell apart, as I saw them kissing. I turned my back on the right away, but even worse, I turned my back on her.
SOPHIE'S POV
I pulled Peter away and slapped him. How could he have done this? He didn't really care about me; he just wanted to prove that he could get all the girls he wanted. Newsflash: he can't. I turned around and went inside, leaving him wondering why he'd been rejected. Well, I knew exactly why he'd been rejected and that why was Zayn.
As I got inside I saw him talking to Kaitlin. They seemed to be having fun, well to much fun. He kept holding her hand and smiling at her. I just felt like kicking her ass off, but I decided that it was better not to make anymore enemies. She was my sister after all even though she wasn't being a good one. My heart broke to pieces as I saw him leaning towards her and kissing her. I didn't cry though. I didn't want him to think that he meant anything to me.
ZAYN'S POV
As I saw Sophie getting inside, I decided to prove her that she was replaceable, that she was just another girl and so I did exactly what Harry would: I started flirting with another chick. However, as I kissed Kaitlin I realized I was wrong. I felt like a complete ass. I was only using her. I didn't want to hurt her feelings and so I immediately backed off.
We all went outside and sang Jodie happy birthday. I felt really bad and I didn't want to go and perform but me and the guys had promised Gemma we would and so I went to look for Liam.
