The New Girl

Chapter 11

Victoria

I was singing on my balcony when I heard a chair scrape. Then some mumbling. Is someone listening? I turned to the noise, and I froze. It was them. My heart started to beat fast. I started to panic as I saw Zayn.

No no no no no no no. This isn't supposed to happen. I came here to get away from him. How did they find me? Zayn turned and looked at me. My heart skipped a beat. We locked eyes for a moment. Gosh, how much I missed those eyes. His eyes showed happiness and relief.

Mine might have been the opposite when his smile faded and turned into a frown.
I looked away. I really don't want to see him now. Not after what happened. I got up. "Victoria!" I heard them scream.

I held in my tears. I have to be strong. I walked inside my hotel room and closed the balcony, muffling their screams. I had to act quick before they knock on the door.

I grabbed a sweater and slipped on my shoes. I opened the door, and bumped into them. Ugh. Guess I wasn't fast enough. I rubbed my head and looked at them. They all seemed really happy to see me. Guilt washed over me. It wasn't them I was running away from. It was Zayn.

Speaking of him, he was standing there with his hands stuffed in his pockets, staring at the ground. Oh my god. He looked adorable. I sighed. Stop that, Victoria.

"Sorry guys." I said softly and started closing the door. But it stopped by Louis's foot. "Oh no, you're not. You're not closing the door on us. We've been searching for you for hours." Louis said. I shuffled my feet and looked at him guilty. "I just need to get away." I said throwing my arms in the air.

Liz threw her arms around me. "If you ever do this again, I'll kill you. Got it?" I chuckled. "No promises." She pulled away and playfully glared at me. Oh, I love her.

Harry and Louis both gave me a hug too, squeezing me. I grunted. "Guys, I need to breath."
They quickly pulled away and looked worried. I inhaled dramatically. "Thanks sweet Jesus for air." They all playfully slapped me. I pouted and stuck out my tongue. "Jerks." They just grinned at me. Zayn was glaring at them. What's his deal?

"Soooo, you have any food?" Louis said, rocking back and forth. Zayn nudged him in his stomach. "What? I'm hungry!" Louis whined. I giggled.

Zayn's eyes became brighter. I looked down, trying not to make eye contact. "Hi, Victoria." Zayn said with his arms out. Is he expecting me to hug him and pretend everything is fine? Hell no. I raised my eyebrow.

"Uh, Hi." The others held in a laugh and covered it with a fake cough.

Pain flashed in Zayn's eyes. A little piece of my heart chipped. Ugh, I can't hurt Zayn, without hurting myself too. Fucking love.

"Oh my god, you have a nice hotel room, Tori." Ashley said walking in. Louis, Harry and Zayn quickly trailed behind.

"Umm yea sure. Just come in guys." I said exasperated. They just gave me goofy grins. I smiled. I actually was glad that they found me. I need them to keep me going. Well, most of them. One of them is the reason I'm feeling like this.

~~~~~~~~~~

"You fucking cheated!"
"This isn't fair."
"I'm hungry."
I laughed. They were all just angry that I won in Monopoly. This game takes forever. We've been playing it for 4 hours straight. I got up and stretched. I walked into the kitchen and got a glass of water. Leaving the others mumbling and mad. I grinned as I took a sip. The cool water going down my dry throat. I sighed, satisfied. I turned and bumped into someone. Seriously? Why am I keep bumping into people?

I looked up and chocked up as I saw those beautiful brown eyes. I gulped. I tried to go past him, but he blocked my way. "What do you want, Zayn?" He looked at me with pleading eyes. I couldn't help but feel guilty. No, I shouldn't. He's the one who broke my heart. He needs to feel guilty not me. I didn't care if I sounded like a kid. It's true.

"Look can we please talk."

I shook my head. "No, Zayn." I pushed past him and walked to the others. "Guys, I'm tired, and I'm going to sleep. You guys can do whatever. I don't really care." I walked to my bedroom hearing them chat among themselves.

"Is she okay?"

"Of course not. Are you really that stupid?"

"Yea man. What Zayn did was pretty harsh."

"Guys can you shut up?"

I closed my door and fell on my bed. Memories came floating back. I don't care about you. He hissed. I squeezed my pillow. You're nothing to me, but a girl that I can mess with. He added with a smirk.

That did it. The tears I've been trying to hold back for the past days, broke free.
I stuffed my face on the pillow and sobbed.

Sometimes you just have to let it all go. Sometimes you just need to stop holding back and just cry. cry and cry till you're can't anymore. And that's exactly what I did.
