No Matter What // Zayn Malik

Chapter 26

Chapter 26

Zayn and I made up, slowly but surely. It all still kind of hurt, but that's the thing about love. It'll hurt, but if it's worth it, you'll go through that pain.

Zayn said there was something beautiful about the broken.

"What's that mean?" I whispered, a little confused. "The broken can't be beautiful, Zayn."

"Yes they can." He mumbled.

"Explain how."

"I'd have to take you somewhere special to prove it to you." He smirked now as he grabbed one of my gloved hands. It usually wasn't this cold but the weather was acting up again and bitterly cold. Zayn's leather jacket was my only source of warmth and I could smell his sweet, yet manly cologne. It filled my nose and soothed me as we walked down the streets of London.

"Where do you have in mind, Zayn?" I asked, feeling my phone vibrate. I flipped it out and opened it up. Zayn tensed beside me.

"Relax, it's my girls." I proved to him, showing him my kik notification which was suddenly blowing up with messages from Chelsea and Rosie. I slid open my phone, removing a glove to do so after struggling to get it open at first.

A R E Y O U O UT W I T H Y O U R B O Y F R A N D A G A I N

Definitely Rosie.

Are you on drugs? - L

I typed back with a laugh.

How did you know?! :O - R

Guilty. I sold 'em to her. - C

Maybe we bought them from your bad boy of a boyfriend...Hmm ;) - R

He's not in a gang or something. Sheeeeesshhh. - Liv

What if he's in a underground mafia, sweetie? Then what? - C

"Zayn, are you in an underground mafia?" I asked, in all seriousness, just to see his reaction.

He blinked, giving me a funny look. "That's racist." He mumbled, making me burst out into laughter.

CHELSEA. MY BAD BOY SAYS YOUR RACIST. I'M CRYING. - L

BAHAHAHHHAAHAHA - R

IT'S BECAUSE I'M FROM MINNESOTA ISN'T IT. YOUR BOYFRIEND'S PICKING ON ME. - C

YOU WERE THE ONE PICKING OH HIM. Y'all need help. I'm out. Peace. Don't spam me during my dateeee. - L

Oooh, wonderful idea my friend. ;) - R

Where y'all crazy kids going? - C

I have no clue. jkdfjksfj i'm excited byeeeeee xoxx - L

I turned off my phone with a laugh, blocking out all spams from my two best friends. I'd gotten some texts earlier from some other girls I'd met at school before but I'd wrapped up those conversations earlier.

"Hey, how's school?" Zayn suddenly asked as he moved his hand around my waist. I smiled a little as I leaned into him.

"It's all right. The people suck." I muttered honestly.

"Drama?"

"It's pointless."

"Then tell me."

"Stupid stuff. Jealous girls. Insecurities. It's just typical high school."

"So everyone just acts like their all on their periods?" He snorted.

"Basically." I laughed. I sighed. "If I were a boy," I started to say making Zayn laugh. "Ugh! Guys are so lucky you don't get a monthly gift from Mother Nature!" I groaned.
