"Harry! Wait!" Liam called after him.

Harry stopped walking and sat down on a seat. Liam stepped closer and sat next to him.

"Harry, I know you are sad but you can talk to me," Liam said.

"No, it's fine. Really, I'm fine," Harry said, looking at the floor.

"You don't have to lie. I know you like her," Liam said, putting a hand on Harry's shoulder.

"I do like her but Zayn liked her first and she likes him too. I just thought I had a chance after last night but she was just being a good friend," Harry said as he put on a sad smile.

"Hey, these are just new feelings okay? You'll get over them and everything will be the same," Liam tried to reassure him.

"Yeah, you are right. I guess, I'm overthinking," Harry said as he stood up. "I'm going home now, I've got an assignment to work on," saying that he walked out and Liam sat there with his hand pressed on his forehead.


"Zayn, I don't get what you are saying," I said as I could not believe my ears. He was falling in love with me?!?!

"I don't know. It's just that I've never felt so strongly for anyone but you drive me crazy. I think my feelings are becoming stronger everyday. I am falling for you," he said sincerely and I knew he wasn't lying. I could tell by the passion in his face.

"Umm, I'm sorry but... I'm not there yet," I said as I looked down.

"Oh. That's...alright."

"I had no idea your feelings were so strong but I just want to enjoy my new-found feelings for the time being," I said as I looked into his sparkling eyes.

"I get it but I had to tell you mine."

I smiled at him, though he made things a little awkward, it's not like he was already in love with me or something. He smiled at me and I leaned in to kiss him.


A few days later, Zayn was discharged from the hospital. He was brought back home and was a lot better than before.

"Hey!" Harry said as I was going out of their apartment after Zayn fell asleep. "Thanks for sticking around with Zayn in these times," he said with a smile.

"I had to and I don't regret doing the things I've done."

"Yeah, by the way, he's really happy when he's with you."

"I'm glad I make your best friend happy," I said, smiling at him.

"You've had dinner?" I asked.

"Nope."

"I could order pizza for the two of us," I offered.

"No, it's okay, I'll just try and get some sleep."

"Harry, you need a break, I'm ordering pizza."

"There's no point arguing with you. You always win," he said, rolling his eyes.

"Wouldn't you know that?" I said, playfully.

The pizza arrived in twenty minutes and we hadn't realized how hungry we were until we started eating.

"Mozzarella is the best thing about pizza!" Harry said, taking a huge bite of his second piece.

"No way! It's the pepperoni!" I claimed.

"I totally disagree!"

"That's all you can do. Disagree with my opinion!" I said, sulking.

"Then why don't you keep your opinion to yourself?" he said, smugly.

"You started it!"

"Right! You never start the argument!"

"You know what, take that!" I said as I threw a cushion at his face.

"Ouch!" he exclaimed and started throwing cushions at me.

I attacked him back with some more cushions and he didn't step back either. Before we knew it, we were pressing cushions against each other with all our arm strength. I couldn't take the pressure so I lost my balance and dropped my cushion. Harry stopped his guard and I slipped and fell on top of him.

"Ouch!" I squealed and Harry did too.

I looked up and our eyes met. He was holding me from the back so I that I don't fall on the floor. We stayed in that position for longer than we should have. I finally realized what was going on and sat up immediately. He also sprung up and we sat in awkward silence.

"We were just being childish," he said, still not looking at me.

"You're right! I should go, bye," I said and left.

I went to my place, shut the door and let out a huge breath. Whaaat on earth was that?!! I couldn't stop thinking about it the entire night, unknown of the fact that there was someone who saw it.

It was Zayn and I had no idea he had woken up and saw his girlfriend and his best friend lying on each other. I wish I knew Zayn was there but I had to know about it in the weirdest ways.


It had been more than a week of Zayn's accident and he was recovering really well. I've been around him everyday and been a little awkward around Harry since that night. It shouldn't have been that awkward but I don't know why I felt that way.

Me, Lana and Georgia were walking around the halls of college when we heard something . We stopped to turn.

It was Merissa, Harry's ex-girlfriend, pinned to the wall by none other than Louis! They were making out pretty violently and we just stood there, shocked.

They parted, still didn't see us hiding in the next corridor.

"We can't let anyone know about it yet, okay?" Louis whispered.

"Absolutely nobody. Let's see where it goes," she replied.

"Let's get out of here first," he said and she nodded.

They walked away and the three of us just stood there, our mouths wide open.

"What the fuck was that?" Georgia said.

"I-I-I don't know," I stuttered.

"Does anyone know?" Georgia asked and I shook my head sideways.

"Umm guys, I gotta go," Lana said and just stormed away, leaving Georgia and me confused.

"What's wrong with her?" Georgia asked and I shrugged.

"Let's follow her," I said and we did so.

We followed Lana and saw her walking out of the college but she stopped at the outer stairs. To our surprise she called someone.

"Hey Payne!" she called and Liam walked towards her.

"Yes Shire," he said in surprise because she called him out.

"We're going out tomorrow, Saturday," Lana said and Liam's pupils widened. He couldn't believe what she just said.

"Are you sure?" he asked and she pulled him and kissed him.

"What the hell is she doing?" a voice from behind asked me. It was Harry. He came and stood next to us.

"I have no fucking idea," I said.

Lana let go of Liam and I could tell by his expression, he had never been more surprised.

"I'll text you where tomorrow," she said and walked out. We all stood there, shocked.

Liam walked to us. "Did you know she'd do that?" he asked and we clearly denied.

"Well, then, I gotta go home now, bye" Liam said with a smile and left.

"Why do I feel like something's wrong?" Harry said.

"I've seen a lot of weirdness today so I'm gonna head home," said Georgia.

"It's Friday, you wanna hang out today?" I asked her.

"Umm, I'm sorry but I've got plans," she said, shyly.

"Are you going out with someone?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah..." she replied, looking at the ground.

"Really? Who is it?" I asked, excited.

"I'll tell you later. Now, bye!" saying that she literally ran away.

"G stop! I need a ride back home!" I called after her but she didn't stop.

"You need a ride from her? Where's Zayn?" Harry asked.

"His classes ended early so he went back home."

"You can come with me then," he offered.

"That won't be necessary. I'll take a cab," I tried to refuse.

"Don't be silly. I'm going home and we're technically going to the same place so come with me."

"Umm, okay then," I said but I was reluctant. I didn't want to be with Harry ever since that pizza night thing. He was a great friend but I didn't know what was so different about him. Is it because I'm dating his best friend? But still, it shouldn't be so weird. Should I talk to Harry about that... that.. incident? Noooo! That might ruin the leftover friendship we have. Do I talk to Zayn? No, it might give him the wrong message. He might think I have feelings for Harry or something. But I don't. Do I?
