Between The Lines

Chapter 14

"Your mom was just telling me..That..Um.."

"I was showing her a baby photo you on my phone." 

Louis rolled his eyes and smirked before handin his mom a coffee and handing me one too.

"Its your special drink."

"A french vanilla latte isnt a special drink Lou." I nudged him after taking a sip. Vanilla latte's were my favourite.

"Well its your favourite. So it is special." he took a sip of his ice coffee. That was his favourite.

"Ever since you were a kid..Always loves those cold drinks..Even in cold season."

"Well mum..Imma hot guy..I need to cool down." he joked and I poked his cheek.

"You? Hot?" I replied to him and he pretended to be hurt.

"Yah. Im hot. Hot and proud." he replied with a serious expression but I could tell her was trying his hardest not to laugh.

"Yah your hot." I bit my bottom lip and smiled.

"Your hot too." he grabbed my hand and held it and looked backbgg to his mom.

"Mrs.Tomlinson?" A nurse walked in and smiled at us all.

"Yes?" 

"Oh nothing..You just need to take your pills and I need to change this bag..." She put a plastic cup full of water on the side table and two tiny tablets, "Be right back." 

Louis looked at the nurse as she walked out and then stared at me.

"Whats wrong?" I asked.

"I just..Im just thinking..Why do the worst things happen to the greatest people?" Jay smiled at his reply.

"Mum. You are definatly one of the greatest people on this earth. Your amazing..One of my biggest inspirations..Dont ever forget that ok?" He held his mums hand and she smiled weakly.

"I wont." she replied, tears showing the corners of her eyes.

"Sorry guys. Its 4:00, no more vistors." The nurse walked back in and looked at me and Louis.

"Alright..Bye mum. We'll be back tomorrow." 

"Bye love, and take good care of my boobear Kristen."

"I will. I promise."

"Love you mum."

"Love you both."

And with that, we left the hospital.

Zayns POV

It was getting so hard to be around Liam and Brianna. They were constantly hugging..Or kissing..It was like they were commected at the hip..Always together.

Yes. I did love Brianna. I told her..But I dont think she actually got how much I really did love her.

I loved how she laughed..The way she walked and fixed her hair 24/7..How she was just so.. Perfect. In every single way she was perfect. The thing I loved most abou her was her independence.. And how anything she put her mind to.. It would happen. How do you think I got so into varsity jackets? Brianna. It was our thing.

We'd wear varsity jackets at interviews. 

But now..Now she doesnt wear them anymore. I still do.. But she doesnt seem to even care.

I loved her..And she broke me. So who could blame me for staying in my room more then I should be. Liams come and tryed to talk to me..

But its just been awkward.

I know hes dieing to talk to me about Brianna..But he knows he cant.

"Zayn?" A voice came inside my room. I looked over to see..Brianna.

What? I thought she was just igoring me.

"Yah?"

"Ive been..Ive been feeling so guilty lately.." she walked in and sat next to me on the bed.

"Why?"

"Because..Because I... I just left you. It wasnt right of me.. And I dont doubt your mad at me."

"Brianna? I know I should be mad at you..But im far from mad... Im okay."

"Really?"

'No.' I thought.

"Yah." I replied.

"Your okay with me and Liam?"

'No.'

"Yah." 

"You sure?"

'No Brianna. Im not sure. Im so damn in love with you but your too caught up with Liam and oblivious to me about my feelings for you.'

"Yup." 

She smiled once more at me.

"Thank you. For this talk."

"No problem."

No matter how upset I could be about Brianna not being able to be with me instead of Liam, I love her too much to ever be actually upset with her.
