Friend Zoned
Away
*Chelsea’s P.O.V.*
“Chelsea,” I heard someone whisper, shaking me. I mumbled an incoherent response attempting to tell them to go away. “Chels baby, we have to get up or we will be late.” Oh, it’s Zayn. I fluttered my eye lids opened and smiled at Zayn.
“You’re awake before me, who are you and what did you do with Zayn?” Zayn rolled his eyes and moved so he was lying on his side.
“I’ve got to get ready for the airport, I’m leaving today remember?” I nodded, yawning lightly. “You’re coming right?” He asked and I nodded again, subconsciously moving my body towards his warm one. “We should probably get up and ready, if we’re late they’ll lose it at me and probably never let you come with us again, and we wouldn’t want that. So c’mon, up you get.” I shook my head and sighed dramatically. Zayn wrapped his arms around me, pressing his lips to my temple. “I’m going to miss you, a lot.”
“Same,” I mumbled burying my face into his neck. “But it will go really fast and it’s not like we have to stop talking for two weeks. It might even be good – I’m going to be really busy at work, it’s getting really close to Christmas and it just keeps getting busier. And you’ll be focussing on your career and meeting fans and doing all fun things. Now let’s get you out of this country.”
I watched Zayn as he got up and moved to collate a few of his things together, dumping them into his bag. He then grabbed the clothing he set out to wear yesterday and made his way into the bathroom. He looked back at me before he closed the door. “Are you going to move it or am I going to have to make you?” He asked cheekily and I rushed to stand up.
“I’m fine thanks, I’ll make us breakfast while you shower.”
“You’re the best!” He called after me even though I had left the room.
“Chelsea!” The other boys cheered as Niall wrapped his arms around me.
“Well hello to you to. I’m glad I’m so important to you that you could acknowledge my presence.” Zayn said sarcastically and Niall punched him. “Rude.” He mumbled jokingly, messing with Niall’s hair. “How was last night?” Zayn directed his attention towards Harry and I looked at him curiously. What was last night?
“She said yes.” He said quietly blushing lightly. Whoa, Harry Styles is blushing.
“Onya man.” Liam said, patting him on the back.
“Wait, what was last night?”
“I’m surprised Piper hasn’t told you yet, she told me she was going to and I heard her telling someone on the phone so I assumed it was you. I erm, asked Piper to be my girlfriend and she said yes.”
I took a big breath. “This moment calls for a lecture.” I was about to begin my long winded speech about how he needs to love and protect her and not break her heart but Liam cut me off.
“As funny as that would be, we don’t actually have a lot of spare time and we really need to get to our terminal. If we have time you can do it there.”
We went through a range of procedures, slightly different than normal because they were flying on a private jet before we reached the terminal their plane was leaving from.
“There you boys are, we were worried you would be late. You should start boarding now.” Paul told the boys and they turned to me.
“No Chelsea, I don’t want to leave you.” Louis dramatically sobbed, squeezing me into a hug.
“Suck it up princess.” To which he mumbled a ‘rude’ to.
Niall was next in line. “Don’t miss me too much lass, but don’t get into too much trouble while we are gone.”
“I’ll try.” I said with a naughty grin. “Trying counts right?” I asked jokingly and he laughed.
“Move you slow Irishman.” Liam complained and pulled me into a hug. “I’ll miss you, don’t have too much fun without us and watch your sister for me. I think she’s still upset over this break up.” I raised my eyebrows suspiciously at him. “What? Go away. I’m just looking out for her.”
“I know my sisters hot and all but you still have Macy whether you like it or not.”
“I know,” he whined. “Less than a month though.” He fist pumped and moved on.
“Later Harry. Unfortunately I can’t lecture you today but I’m sure you know how it goes – don’t hurt her, don’t break her heart, or I will cut off your manly bits and feed it to your mother’s dog. Have fun in LA.” I smiled sweetly at him at the end of my rant and he rolled his eyes, smirking.
Before Harry could respond, Zayn was pushing him away knowing that whatever came out of his mouth probably wasn’t going to be good.
“Stop hogging Chelsea.” He told them, adjusting the strap to his duffle bag that casually hung from his shoulder. He moved closer to me and wrapped his strong arms around me, making me feel safe and contented. “I’ll miss you.” He whispered, resting his head on top of mine. “What are you going to do during these two weeks?” He asked before I could tell him that I would miss him also.
“I’m going to spend a night or two at mums today, see how dad is and all. Then I’ll probably just keep working and staying at my place till you come back. We will see after then. I’m not sure what Luna is doing though as to whether she’s staying at Niall’s still so I may have to use your spare key. Will that be ok?”
“That’s a dumb question Chelsea, of course it’s fine. I’ll see you when I get back. And don’t forget to keep in contact alright.”
“Alright.” I mumbled into his neck. “You should probably go.” I told him.
“I know, I just don’t want to.”
“I’ll miss you but hopefully the time will pass really quickly and you’ll be back before we both know it.”
“Hopefully,” he replied pulling away to lace our fingers together.
“Zayn, boys, hurry up and get on the plane. We don’t have all day.”
“You really need to go. Have a good time and don’t do anything stupid and I’ll be here when you get back. I’ll talk to you soon. Maybe text me when you land so I know you are alright.”
“Sure, okay, I’ll miss you. Don’t do anything dumb and I’ll see you in two weeks.” He pulled me back into a hug, a brief one this time however. “Bye Chels.”
“Bye Zee.” I stated as he pulled away and headed for the plane with the other boys who were goofing around, annoying Zayn about something or other and smirking at him.
“Boys, hurry up.” Paul told them again with a find smile on his face. “Sorry to rush you Chelsea but they have a schedule. We can chat next time. It was good seeing you though.” I smiled and nodded, agreeing with him. He looked at the boys again. “I’ve really got to go sort them out. Have a good break away from them.” He said jokingly and ran after them, forcing them in the direction of the plane.
Zayn turned around when he reached the door of the plane, waving to me and mouthing that he would miss me, causing me to blush lightly and wave back. The plane soon took off and I quickly found myself back at my place.
“When were you going to tell me about you and Harry?” I asked Piper when I came through the door. She blushed and shrugged. “Ugh whatever, I’m going to mum’s for the night and Bridget will probably tag along. Is that fine?” I asked knowing she wouldn’t care.
“Yeah, I’ll see you whenever then.” I nodded and gathered some things I would need, informed Bridget off my movements and soon we were both on our way back home. Crap, what am I going to have to face with my mother about this whole Zayn situation? She’s been trying to call me and Bridget’s already warned me about her concerns. I really didn’t think this one through.
“Mum, Chelsea and Bridget are here.” Sam called as he opened the door. “Hey you two.”
“Hey little bro,” I responded, pulling him into a hug, Bridget doing the same.
“Chelsea, Bridget, it’s such a surprise to see you here. You have a lot of explaining to do, both of you.” I smiled guiltily at her and she rolled her eyes, ushering us in a embracing us in a hug. “Are you guys staying long?”
“We just thought we would come visit and I brought some extra things in case we decided to stay for a few days. You can kick us out if we’re annoying you though.” I joked and mum whacked me on the arm.
“I would never do that, I’m glad that you’re here. I’ll put the kettle on and then you can explain to me why both your faces are all over the covers of every gossip magazine with One Direction. Especially you, missy.” She decided, directing the last part at me and I put my hands up in surrender.
“We’ll just put out stuff in our room.” Bridget told mum and headed for the staircase that lead to our shared childhood room. I grabbed my bags and followed after her, Sam on our tails.
Our house seemed extremely spacious as each room was massive but the truth was, it was lacking walls and therefore rooms and so mum forced Bridget and I to share because we were twins and gave the boys their space seeing as though the age gap between them was relatively big. It wasn’t so bad sharing with Bridget but we didn’t always get on and she had a lot of friends who didn’t like me and that didn’t happen to be much fun for me.
I collapsed onto my bed after dropping my bags on the floor and pulled out my phone. Sam and Bridget were involved in a conversation and the bits and pieces that I caught suggested it was about how she was handling her break up with Chris. I was more interested in calling Gianni about work. Although mum lived really close to us and my place of work I didn’t really want to go to the effort to go into work while I was here so I called Gianni to find out about anything that I definitely had to be at work for and what I could just do from here on my laptop. I ended the phone call feeling a weight lifted off my shoulders, Gianni had informed me that I only had a few tasks to complete this week and they could be done from home. Thank the lord.
“So Sam, got yourself a boyfriend yet?” I asked in a teasing tone. He blushed but turned the question back on me.
“How’s your boyfriend, Zayn?” he asked in a mocking tone.
“My friend that is a boy is fine, he’s on a plane right now. I’m more interested in this boyfriend of yours.” My adorable gay brother blushed and dismissed me.
“I don’t have one.” He concluded before running downstairs, leaving me and Bridget rolling our eyes in a disbelieving manner.
We followed him downstairs after preparing ourselves to discuss the newest people in our lives with our mother and brother.
“Chelsea,” I heard someone whisper, shaking me. I mumbled an incoherent response attempting to tell them to go away. “Chels baby, we have to get up or we will be late.” Oh, it’s Zayn. I fluttered my eye lids opened and smiled at Zayn.
