Chapter 13

3rd persons POV

Victorie stared at the phone. What did this mean? Was this Perrie from Little Mix? She had heard a rumor about her and Zayn dating but she thought it was just that, a rumor. She quickly dropped the phone on the blanket and stood on her elbows waiting for Zayn. He soon arrived looking at her.

"You ok babe?" he said.

"You've got a text. " she said gloomily.

He took his phone and checked the message. He looked at her.

"Did you read this?" he asked.

"Yes" she simply said.

"Why?"

"Because I thought it was an emergency. I guess it wasn't" she said.

He fumbled with his phone for a while then turned to her.

"Torie, it's not what you think – " he started but she cut him off.

"I want to go home. Now. " She said.

"Torie please look at me. It really isn't what you think" he started again.

"I think I made myself clear enough when I said I wanted to go home." She said with a venomous tone.

"Alright then."

They got in the car silently. She sat on the other side of the seat, near the window. The car had been silent for about half an hour when he finally spoke.

"Are you going to let me explain?" he asked.

"Go ahead. It won't make any difference though. And you really shouldn't be explaining anything to me. It's not as if I'm your girlfriend or anything like that."

He stared at her. He had screwed up.

"Torie please"

"Don't call me Torie. My name is Victorie. You can call me Vic or Victorie. Not Torie" she fired at him.

"…Torie… please listen alright. There is nothing going on between me and Perrie. We dated a while back and we broke up and the thing is she still thinks we're together. We're not. I do not feel anything for her. It's you who I like not Perrie. And the management had been trying to set up a publicity stunt so it could look like we were still together but I kindly denied. But she still insist. I'll call her Torie, let her know that there is nothing going on between us. I'll do it right now." He said.

Victorie had remained silent throughout the whole thing.

"Can I ask you a question?" she said. He nodded.

"Do you by any chance think I'm retarded? I told you once and I'm going to tell you again. You don't have to explain anything to me because I am not your girlfriend." She spat at him and then fell silent again. He let out a huff and sat back on the seat.

He screwed it all up. Everything. Goddam he was so stupid. It was all Perrie's fault. That Bitch
