Friend Zoned

I rushed over to the two, quickly sobering up. “Luna, what happened? What’s wrong? Where’s Jack?” The mention of his name brought on heavier sobs from Luna and I immediately knew it was about him. “Luna, calm down, you’re okay. Tell me what happened.”

“Yo-you know h-h-how I-I was pre-pregnant?” I nodded. “And you know h-how when y-y-you came with me to get the abortion I said that Jack and I wanted to do it, bu-but Jack couldn’t come because he had practice?” I nodded again. “Well, he-he didn’t – he didn’t know.” And she’s sobbing again. I couldn’t believe that she would do that to him though, he was head-over-heels in love with her.

“Luna, tell me what’s going on now though.” She took a deep breath trying to calm herself down.
“Well, I had had a few drinks and after we were dropped home, things started getting steamy and I-I was like: ‘Thank god I got that abortion, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to drink and I wouldn’t want to do this’.” She took another deep breathe before continuing. “And of course he was like: ‘what abortion?’ and my drunk mouth started t-talking and we got into a huge fight and now I’m here, he broke up with me. I know ii was stupid and u know I don’t like to commit but he left me, I need so9mewhere to stay for a few days as well.” Niall rubbed her back soothingly the whole way through her story. I was definitely disappointed in her but she was one of my closest friends and I was going to be there for her.

“You can stay here as long as you need. You will be okay, it will all work out in the end. You can sleep in Bridget’s room. Let’s get you to bed now though, and Niall, since you’re still up you can stay in that room if you’re both okay with it.” Luna shrugged and Niall nodded. I gestured for them to follow me and I lead them up to my twin sister’s room. Zayn followed with them so after all was taken care of there I took him to my room.
“Welcome to my haven,” I said gesturing around my room. Zayn took in my very modern red, black and white colour scheme. My queen sized bed sat in the room and various other things such as a desk, bookshelf, en suite bathroom and walk in wardrobe were all strategically located in my room. I had taken time to decorate it with photos and fairy lights and a variety of pillows and other accessories. It was my pride and joy.
“It’s lovely, I take it you did it all yourself, did you?” I nodded, smiling proudly as I flopped down on my bed.
“If you want to shower and I can show you the other bathroom and get you some of my brother’s clothes from when he stays here if you want them.”

“That would be nice thanks.” I nodded and slid into where Luna and Niall were fast asleep, silently grabbing some stuff for Zayn. I handed everything over to Zayn after I showed him to the bathroom before heading back to my room and jumping in my shower myself.

I got out of the shower about ten minutes later, putting on my undergarments and a robe before heading back into my room where Zayn was waiting, lying on my bed in boxers. He looked up from his phone when I entered the room and smiled. His eyes racked over my body and I blushed, grabbing my brothers shirts that Zayn hadn’t bother to use.

“Shut your eyes.” Zayn gave me a puppy dog face. “Now,” he obeyed but still wore a pout on his lips. I turned around dropping my robe, only to pull the shirt over my head. Zayn let out a low whistle causing me to turn around and dash over to the bed, hiding under the covers to conceal me crimson cheeks. I felt him pat my back before moving under the covers himself.

“There’s no need to be embarrassed you know.” He chuckled and I groaned into the pillow. He pulled me onto his chest. “You’re beautiful, Chels.” I blushed and pushed my head further into his chest.

“Thank you,” I mumbled into his chest but I don’t know if he caught it though. He groaned slightly and moved around.

“Watch where you put those lips, babe,” he chuckled lightly and I blushed again.

“Zayn,” I groaned looking up at him.

“Yes Chelsea,” he responded looking at me with a smirk.

“Stop,” I whined and his laughter vibrated through his chest.

“Fine, let me just get the lights and we can go to sleep.” I nodded giving him a sweet smile as I waited for his return.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning I awoke to a loud bang. I opened my eyes cautiously and was greeted by Zayn’s sleeping face. He looked like an angel, relieved of all his worries and bad thoughts and in a peaceful state of mind. I could watch him sleep all day but that would probably be considered creepy although I couldn’t resist the urge to reach for my phone and snap a picture. Another couple of loud clashes and slangs resonated from downstairs follow by an ‘oh shit’ so I climbed off my comfortable pillow a.k.a. Zayn, pulled my robe on and headed to the kitchen. Louis and Liam were standing in the middle of my kitchen, pots and pans surrounding them. I looked back and forth between them with an amused and confused expression on my face.

“Should I even ask?”

“His fault!” Louis pointed at Liam.

“His idea!” Liam retaliated.

“If your plan was to make a mess of my pots and pans while waking up the whole house you haven’t succeeded, Zayn’s still out like a light and I haven’t seen anyone else.” They looked confused, probably because I wasn’t yelling at them. “Coffee or tea?” I asked and was surprised to hear the response of two coffees, which I didn’t have a problem with as it made my life easier. “While I make these coffees, how about you explain what happened.”

“We wanted to do something nice for you and the others so I suggested we make breakfast and so we were just going through your draws and I was trying to find the pan I wanted to use so I had to pull some of the other pots and pans out and one of them slid to the floor causing me to drop the others in shock. Then I began handing some to Liam but I accidentally stood on his foot causing him to drop the things I handed him. We’re sorry.” Louis explained and Liam nodded in agreement.

“Only you two.” I let out a chuckle and handed over their coffees before taking mine to the table where they followed in suit. “Did you have fun at the party?” I asked the, and they both nodded enthusiastically.

“Yeah, it was great. My throbbing head shows that.” Louis chuckled.

“That basically sums it up.” Liam confirmed. I smiled brightly.

“That’s good, I’m glad you had fun. How’s Macy?” I asked Liam.

“As good as a girl like her can get.” He sighed lightly. “How’s Zayn?” he asked with a devilish grin.

“What are you talking about?” I asked. They both raised their eyebrows and I felt my cheeks get hot.

“We’ve seen the way you look at each other,” Louis added.

“What do you mean?” I asked, my voice raising in pitch with each word. By this point Niall and Harry had straggled downstairs and had joined us at the table.

“Oh Zayn, your muscles are so sexy, let me run my hands all over them. And look at all your scrumptious tattoos, mmmmmm. Your hair is so soft and silky, can I touch it and pull it and…” The boys carried on as I got up to put my cup in the dishwasher, shaking my head and trying to hide my rosy cheeks in the process. I looked at them over the counter as they were in fits of giggles, occasionally throwing impersonations of me in. “Oh Zayn, can you go down on me, imagine what that long, strong tongue of yours could do to me, And then you could hoist me up and fuck me into an oblivion.” I banged my head against the counter top before a hand was placed there, causing me to turn around only to be thrown over Zayn’s shoulder. I squealed and hit his back as he ran past the boys in the direction of my living room.

“Stop! You almost gave my Chelsea brain damage!” He called to them as they stumbled after us.

“Oh my poor Chelsea! I cannot live without her and her sex.” I squealed even more.

“Guys stop!” I complained. “I’m a bloody virgin you idiots.” I squealed as I was thrown down on the couch. All sound in the room ceased and I peered up through my lashes at them, my cheeks crimson for the umpteenth time today.

“You’re a…” Zayn breathed out.

“A virgin, yes,” I said in a small voice.

“Wow,” Harry said. “You’ve been missing out.” I laughed lightly with the boys.

“How did you manage to do that?” Liam pried curiously.

“Well I was with my ex for about four years and we did stuff but I just didn’t feel comfortable. That’s why he had to find other sources.” Liam grimaced. “I think the fact that I didn’t trust him enough to take it that far with me should have been a telling sign that we weren’t right but I was just too caught up in the drama and excitement of it to think too much about it.”

“Oh, I didn’t realise, I’m sorry for prying.” Liam said.

“Oh don’t be, it’s not too bad. Life goes on.” I sighed.

“Anyway, I’m hungry. Let’s wake the others girls up, get ready and go out for breakfast.”

“Already awake,” Piper grumbled from the door where Luna was standing beside her. “And what the bloody hell are you all doing up at six fucking thirty in the morning after a bloody party?” Piper exclaimed.

“It’s six thirty? Why the hell were you two trying to make breakfast for us at six thirty?” I asked Liam and Louis.

“Lunch today, remember?” Liam pointed out causing Zayn to jump up from the couch he had located himself on murmuring a ‘be right back’ before exiting the room. I vaguely remember them mentioning it last week at breakfast but I hadn’t been given the details.

“The only thing I got was the mention of lunch, no more information.” Liam shrugged.

“Oh, well, it’s a four and a half hour drive or so,” he said nonchalantly.

“What!” I almost screeched causing the boys to chuckle.

“Yeah and we may need to stay overnight, Piper and Luna you girls are invited too.”

“Count me out, sorry, I have marking and stuff.” Piper said sadly.

“I’ll come I guess, anything to keep my mind busy.” I gave her a sad smile but nodded my head acceptingly as Zayn returned to the room.

“We should be there by 12:30, we need to be getting in the van by eight so let’s eat, pack and go.” Zayn instructed and we all swiftly went in different directions. I let Zayn, Liam and Louis borrow my car after giving them many warnings and instructions to get breakfast for everyone while Piper and Harry spent time together whilst Niall helped Luna and I pack.

The boys shortly returned with a very nutritious breakfast of McDonalds and we ate before saying goodbye to Piper and heading to the boys place to get their things. Soon enough we got the call that the van was here for us so Zayn and I went and met the others downstairs.

After a long, entertaining car trip, we finally pulled up to a beautiful house. Many cars surrounded it, which made me even more curious to where we were. Being me, I was too focussed on the conversations going on around me than the road signs so I had no clue of even my geometrical location.

Zayn knocked on the front door, which was immediately swung open as he was engulfed in a warm hug by an older, beautiful woman. The other boys followed Zayn’s action of greeting her after they finally broke apart and it was now time for Luna and my introduction.

“Chelsea, Luna, I would like you to meet my mother. Mum, this is Chelsea and Luna.” Did he just say his mother?

Oh shit!
