CHAPTER ELEVEN
ZAYNS POV
"Jessica I need to talk to you" I said, walking towards her as she lay on my bed.
"Talk about what?" She asked.
"Our relationship, well, fake one" I told her. "I think it's time we end it" I said, sitting by her feet.
She sat up, her eyes wide as she stared at me. "W-what do you mean?" She stuttered, her hand moving to mine.
I pulled my hand away, standing up. "Listen Jessica, you're a great girl, and our relationship has gone far enough for you to gain a lot of fame, but this whole dating thing is ruining my relationship with a girl I really like" I told her, sitting on my chair. She moved closer to me, making me cringe.
"What girl?" She asked, a creep of a smile masking her face. An uneasy feeling filled in me, as I moved away from her, but she kept coming closer.
"Jessica, It over. Im gonna call Simon right now, and this thing" I said, motioning to us, "Is gonna be over, you hear me? O v e r'' I repeated, my hands on my knees as I pushed myself up to stand up.
Jessica grabbed my hand and pulled to to her, making me fall on top of her. My eyes widened, as she forcefully grabbed my head, pulling my face to hers and kissing me deeply. I tried pulling away, but her grip hardened as I tried to resist. Suddenly, a gasp made Jessica stop. Jessica looked towards the door, a smirk appearing on her face as she wiped her lips. Confused, I turned my head, my heart in my throat as I watched tears fall from Scarlett's eyes.
"Scarlett!" I screamed, as she ran out the door. "Fuck" I yelled. I yanked Jessica's hand from mine, looking at her in the eyes. "Listen. You. Stay. The fuck. Away from me" I pointed at her, as I ran out the door. I skipped the stairs, dropping myself on the floor with a thud.
Naima, Harry and Niall all turned their heads, a confused look on their faces. "Why did Scarlett just run out crying?" yelled Niall, as he stood up and walked towards me.
"She saw Jessica and I kissing" I told them.
"What?" yelled Niall. "I thought you wanted her back? You were supposed to break up with Jessica!" He screamed, irritated.
"I know! I called Jessica over so I could break up with her, but she fucking forced herself on me. I swear, I didn't kiss back. Scarlett just came the second it happened-" I trailed off, my eyes focused on Jessica walking down the stairs. She smiled widely at the others.
"Hey guys!" She smiled, as if the past five minutes never happened. The group exchanged confused, and angry glances. Jessica walked towards me, as she put her mouth to my ear. "I'll see you later" She whispered, as she kissed the back of my ear.
Niall glared at me angrily. "Oh, so you were gonna break up with her, yeah?" He remarked, sarcastically. "Zayn I swear-" He started.
"She's lying! She's just playing with you!" I interrupted, my head in my heads as I walked back and forth in the living room.
"Here's a thought" started Naima, "Why won't you run after her before she does something stupid?" She rolled her eyes.
"Give him a break Naima, it wasn't his fault" Harry came in.
Naima looked at him in shock, "You're taking his side? After all he's done?" She spat.
Harry shook his head, "No Naima, not like that. Scarlett came at the wrong time, it was simple bad timing" He defended, moving closer to Naima.
She put her had up to block him, "Bad timing" She said sarcastically, "Okay, if thats what you think, why don't you stay with little Mr.Innocent, while I go find my best friend" She turned her back, walking towards the door. I ran after her, holding her by the shoulder. She turned around, glaring at my contact. I pulled my hand away, afraid of what she would do.
"Please Naima, give me a chance-"
"We already gave you a chance Zayn! And you blew it, again!"
"Just let me go after her, please. I want to make this work, I lov-" I stopped. "I really like her Naima, please" I pleaded, my eyes tearing up.
She nodded, as I felt a weight lift off my shoulders. I smiled at her widely, as I turned my head to look at Harry. He smiled at my hopefully, as Niall continued to glare at me. I shook his glare off, as I sprinted out the door.
It was raining, as I squinted my way to my car. Pushing my keys in, I opened the door and got in. I twisted the keys to start the car, but it didn't work. I tried it again, but all I was met with was a fail of a noise. "Fuck!" I shouted. Did you have to break down now, out of all times? I thought.
I gave up, as I unlocked the door and got out. I was immediately met with splashed of rain falling from the sky. I put my hood up, as I started to run to Scarletts house next door. I sprinted up the stairs and shook the handle. Locked. I rung the door bell, waiting for any sign of Scarlett. None. I rung the door bell again, but was met with the same response.
Sighing, I ran around the house and into the back yard. All the lights were off, and no sounds were being made. "Fuck", I cursed. I turned on my heel and ran towards the plaza.
Scarlett's POV
I wiped the tears away with my sleeves. Black smears were drawn on my sleeve. Well, that makes me feel much better. I thought sarcastically. I walked towards the plaza, as I heard a roar of thunder. I looked up at the sky and cursed. The clouds were covering up the sky, and I was pretty sure it was about to rain. I jogged faster towards the small café minutes away from my house.
I didn't go home, because I was sure Zayn was going to look there first. The café was somewhere Niall and I would always go to talk and such, especially with the whole kissing incident that happened, I'd got to know Niall a whole lot more with my alone time with him. He was beginning to become my best friend.
I skipped over the steps, entering the warm and cozy café. I wiped my eyes once more, hoping I didn't already look like a racoon with my mascara all over my face. I walked over to the washroom and stood before the mirror. I definitely looked like a racoon. Dark black mascara run over my face, red puffy eyes. I looked disgusting.
I walked into an open stall and snatched a hand full of toilet paper. I walked back to the mirror and turned on the tap, wetting the toilet paper before cleaning under my eyes. I did the same for my other eye before throwing the dirty toilet paper in the washroom. I walked back to the mirror and tried to make myself look presentable.
After I was done, I opened the washroom door and got out. I was immediately met with the strong smell of coffee. How I didn't noticed it before, was explanatory. I was sure I was a mess when I walked in the café, and I was sure I still was.
Standing tall, I walked towards the cashier and ordered a coffee. "One moment please" The blonde girl said, as she smiled at me widely. I smiled back, as I looked over to her name tag. Sarah.
Sarah came back moments later, with a steamy cup of coffee in hand. I took the cup from her and mumbled a thanks to her. "No problem, enjoy your coffee!" She said happily, sending me toothily grin. I smiled back before walking towards one of the tables.
I sat down and stared at my coffee, that I was sure I wasn't going to take a sip of. It was merely to look normal, and not like a hobo that was looking for a place to stay under the rain.
I heard the bells of the ring, and as I looked up I smiled.
Marlon looked around the café, as If he was looking for someone. When his head turned to my direction, we locked eyes. He smiled in relief, as walked towards me.
I got up, but before I could walk to him, he beat me at it and made it to my table. He sat on the chair in front of me and motioned me to sit on mine. I nodded and sat down, waiting for him to talk.
"Are you okay?" He said slowly, looking at me with eyes of concern.
I nodded meekly, and looked down, fidgeting with my sleeves as I tried to avoid eye contact.
Marlon held my chin up and looked at me. "Why are you here?" I asked him quietly.
He smiled, before saying, "Naima texted me. How she knew my number, I have no idea" He laughed, trying to lighten the mood.
I broke down, as I cried silently, not trying to make a scene. "Hey hey" He said quietly, as he got out of his seat and walked to me. I got up and hugged him tightly, crying to his chest.
"Hey, lets go somewhere private, lets get out of here" He told me.
"But it's raining outside" I told him.
"We'll go in my car, come on'' He walked towards the door, holding me still.
We got out of the café and walked towards his car. The rain was falling hard, making me met. We walked faster, as I tried to follow with Marlon. Once we made it to his car, Marlon quickly opened the door and put me in. He ran around the car and got in himself.
I looked at him once more, before cuddling to his chest. "I-I" I cried.
"Shhh..." He said quietly, "I already know, Naima told me everything" He told me, tightening his grip around me.
"I really like him Marlon" I cried, "And I know I shouldn't be mad or anything, but I just felt that I should've been in Jessica's place. Not her" I explained.
Marlon continued to hug me tightly, not saying a word, but listening to every word. I was grateful that I had Marlon.
"Marlon?" I whispered to him.
"Hm" He responded.
"I don't want to do it" I told him.
"Do what?" He asked.
"This whole fake boyfriend/girlfriend thing. I don't want to do it anymore. It's not like it's gonna help" I explained, "I'm sorry I took your time the other day, I just-"
"Don't worry Scarlett" He interrupted my rant, "I totally respect you, and have your back. And don't worry about my time. If I hadn't listened to Stacy, I wouldn't of met an amazing girl like you" He said, before lightly kissing my head.
I sulked into him, as I closed my eyes, listening closely to the sound of his heart beating. The slow rhythm relaxed me, as I rested my head on his chest.
