Zayn hugs me hard. I can feel his heart beating against mine.
"Princess, I think I'm sprung."
I laugh, punching him. We start walking on the trail, not bothering to stop and let him speak to my mom. Our hands are looped together and the woods are peaceful.
"How's college?" He asks.
"Its fun. Busy. I like it."
"Did you get any of my messages?"
His messages.
"Yeah..I was just really busy."
Lie.
"Couldn't answer my calls either?"
"I-sorry."
He drops it. I can feel his hand rub my scar. The letter.
"I got a letter." I whisper.
"From?"
He stops and I'm forced to stop too.
"Josh. I threw it away."
Another lie. Chris threw it away.
"How the hell did he get your address."
I shrug. Not a lie. I shiver as the wind whips through my clothes. I look up at the stars and moon. Everything is so beautiful here and I can forget everything.
"Let's get you in the house."
I can hear his teeth clenched together. He's mad, I guess we wont be talking tonight.

Zayn strips his shirt and jeans off, laying down beside me. He kisses my cheek and I turn over to curl up under his chest.
"I'll kill him if he comes near you ever again."
My superman. I smile against his chest.
"You got another tattoo."
I trace the redness around it. Its a crown, small but visible around the others.
"What does a Princess wear?"
Oh my god. I sit up, letting my mouth Fall open.
"A crown! A princess wears a crown!" I yell.
"Shhh! Your mom is going to kill us."
I laugh, laying back down.
"I love you."
"I love you, too."
