Y/n POV

Zion and I were looking each other from a distance as my heart beats fast making me feel a billion emotions all at once

Z: Oh hey I didn't know you were in here

He quickly says as I tuck a piece of my hair behind me ear feeling nervous and speechless of what to say.

Y/n: Oh actually I just got here. I can leave-

I reply about to get off the couch as he puts one hand up stopping me from a far

Z: No you don't have to leave. Plus I know parties aren't really your thing

He explains cutting me off as I lightly nod, it's funny how he still remembered. I awkwardly sit on the couch as Zion closes the door so it was quieter inside.

The room lights were dimmed as some street light was gazing in. You could hear the faint music in the back as I thought about what my next move should be. I mean I hadn't talked to Zion in a year and I really didn't know where to start. I look at him moving my eyes from his shoes to this head. Remembering I once loved about him.

He looks a little different his dreads were a little longer with a lighter colour, his eyes roaming the room as if he had no clue what to say or do. I could understand how he feels I mean after that argument last year we fell out of whatever we had.

But whatever I felt back then I don't think I feel anymore I mean he technically broke me heart and he was the one who didn't call me, text me or even brother to say hi when we walked by each other. I have been broken for so long not only did I lose my friend but I loved him and he just moved on like nothing ever happened between us. I was mad to come to think of it I'm still angry at the thought of it.

I watch Zion move from the doorway to lean on the couch in front of me, and I can't help but wonder what he was doing here.

Y/n: So why are you here

I ask as his head shots up glancing at me

Z: I got sick of the noise and music

He answers as I give him a hard to believe expression. I mean the Zion that I know loves to party and have fun

Y/n: Really that's surprising, I thought you loved partying

I reply looking into his eyes confused

Z: I'm just not feeling it today and plus I rather be at back in my room

He lightly says as I nod agreeing to his thought, I watched how his fingers pull on the rim of the leather couch. I feel Zion's eyes on mine as he walks closer to me sitting on the same couch as mine. I scoot to right a bit so that there was distance between us.

Z: But I'm surprised your even at a party like this

He adds as I turn my head looking over at him so up to close to me

Y/n: Yeah its not that I wanted to come, Brandon and asked me

I reply instantly 

Z: mHM, interesting

He states as I start fidgeting with my fingers feeling nervous for some odd reason.

Z: But can I ask...

He starts as I look up uncomfortably making eye contact with him. Feeling those familiar butterflies and memories of my times with Zion flooding my brain

Z: When did you and Brandon even start dating

I try acting stronger as I remember the things Zion had said to me, the way he kicked me out of this dorm when he was with Jenna. And plus what was I supposed to tell Brandon are just in his words "close friends".

Y/n: Shouldn't be any of your concern

I state turning my head to look towards the front door

Z: I thought we were friends..... I miss you 

He says at first melting my heart but making me chuckle sarcastically

Y/n: Were.. friends

I retaliate I know some part of me did miss him still, but to admit would make me weak in front of him. There was silence, you could feel the elephant in the room as one of us thought of what to say next

Z: Anyways I was just curious I mean you and Brandon-

Y/n: What I can't be with somebody like Brandon, is it because you and your so called popular friends think I'm some waitress girl, as mentioned by your girlfriend earlier today

I argue cutting him off and crossing my arms feeling rage and anger grow from thinking about what Jenna said before and now.

Z: First I sorry about that you're just some waitress girl. And second she's not

He says as I glance back at him confused

Y/n: She's not what

I ask puzzled

Z: Jenna she's not my girlfriend anymore

Zion says, as I was internally shocked, and surprised I mean I thought they really liked each other. This actually clears the fact that Jenna didn't even bother talking to anyone expect being all touchy with Brandon. I give Zion and emotionless unfazed look trying to let him now I didn't really care.

I then instantly start thinking about Jenna wanting to be with Brandon and how she could practically end what I don't even have with him. I mean I'm not gonna lie I was kind of starting to like Brandon. He's nice and sweet but he totally went off today and I have no clue where he is and who he's with.

I was in my thoughts as I feel Zion touch my hand

Z: Y/n

He says as I snap out of my thoughts looking at him. His eyes moving and focusing on each feature on my face as I glance at his hand on mine with his finger gently interlacing in min as I instantly moving it away

Y/n: I have to go

I say getting off the couch walking to the door

Z: Wait how are you gonna get home. I can drop you off

He offers, I immediately shake my head

Y/n: It's fine I can get an Uber

I say walking out of the room and straight out of the house back to my dorm room apartment
