Chapter 15: Forget it Happened(Zayn)

I hope I didn't ruin anything?"Liam says apologetically.

Nope,"I answer him. Its a good thing you barged right in,"

Why?"he asks.

I smile meekly. Lots of reasons,"I say. Mia doesn't say anything to me but she doesn't exactly ignore me either. Before she leaves for her date with that Leo guy, I approach her.

Mia?"I say.

Zayn, I...,"She says the same time I say her name.

You first,"she urges.

Can we forget whatever that might have happened?"I ask. It didn't mean anything and Mia, you're my best friend so I'm really sorry. I don't want it to affect our friendship,"

She frowns and the nods.

I breathe in relief. Thanks,"I tell her.

What did you want to tell me?"I ask.

It's nothing,"Mia says unconvincingly.

You can tell me anything,"I tell her reassuringly.

She mutters something I don't catch.

What's that Mia?"I ask.

Er nothing,"she tells me.

I'm going out to have lunch with Leo okay?"She says with a dull tone.I nod and feel terrible. She looked forlorn for a minute, smiles meekly at me and then heads out.

What should I do?"I ask myself.

(Mia)(Mia's outfit:.com/cgi/set?id=47229816)

I call Leo and cancel out on him. I told him that I wasn't feeling very well and I'll meet up with him some other time. I just wanted to be alone. I headed to the nearest coffee shop and get myself a cup of hot chocolate and then head back out. It's cold outside and I'm wishing I'd brought a coat with me. I walked ahead to a nearby park and then sit down on one of the dainty benches.

I cross my legs and watch as couples holding hands and makes me feel even worse. My mind keeps replaying to the scene where he'd almost kissed me. And then when I almost told him about how I actually felt about him. When he goes ahead and basically tells me that he cares for me as a friend and nothing more. It doesn't take very long for the tears to come crashing down. I dig in my bag for tissues and come up with none. But I don't care. I just wipe my tears and cry.

Excuse me, Is there anything... Mia?"A voice says. I look up.

Leo?"I choke out. What are you doing here?"

I just came to the park for a walk,"he says comfortingly. I thought you were sick?"

Leo sits next to me and then squeezes my hand comfortingly.

I am sick. Sick of love,"I tell him.

What's up love?"Leo asks gently. Want to talk about it?"

I shook my head. No, I'm done with love for now,"I tell him. He smiles.

Shall I take you for lunch?"He asks. Your hands are freezing,"he remarks. I stand up and so does he.

Sure, I'd actually love lunch,"I tell him.

Here take this,"He says takes of his coat to wrap around me.

No I'm fine,"I protest. Honestly,"

He insists I put it on and we head off to have lunch at a restaurant. After we have lunch I secretly pay the bill when he heads off to the loo. When he comes back he puts his hand out for the waiter and asks for the bill.

But the bills been paid sir,"the waiter answers.

By who?"Leo asks surprised.

By me,"I tell him. He smiles and takes his wallet out.

Here's my share Mia,"he says, holding out some notes. I refuse and in the end, Leo takes his money.

I asked you out for lunch, I should've paid,"he argues.

You can pay next time,"I tell him. He laughs and walk me back to the apartment.

Thanks for cheering me up, Leo,"I tell him. I had a good time,"

It's no problem,"he says. I hug him and he kisses me lightly on my cheek.

Meet me for breakfast tommorow?"slips out of my mouth before I can stop myself. I know a really nice deli,"

Sure,"He says. See you around at 9?"

Sure,"I tell him. I watch him take a cab and wave at me. Then I walk in and notice that I'd forgotten to give him back his coat. It smells very nice and I take it off and leave it on the coat hanger.

So how was your lunch date with ?"Liv asks excitedly, bounding over.

I had a really good time,"I tell her. I forgot my coat and it was really cold so he gave me his,"

Oh his as well is he?"Liv giggles. Why are the tear tracks on your face?"she asks.

Oh, er, Leo told me a joke and I laughed so hard I cried,"I lie.

Liv raises an eyebrow. You sure?"she asks.

Course I am,"I answer. Where are the lads?"

Louis, Harry, Niall and Liam have gone down to the shops to get a snack and Zayn's gone out with Rebecca,"she says.

The last comment hurts a lot. I shook my head. I wasn't supposed to fall for my best friend.

Just get over him please Mia?"I ask myself.
