Chapter 28.

Zara's POV.

"Everything's gonna be okay Sasha, just be strong okay? plz don't cry?", I tried my best to calm down my best friend.

She's never been so weak and emotional in front of me, ever. But today it was like I saw a completely different side of her. A side which was hidden inside her till now, and burst out this evening.

After Zayn left, Sasha started crying once again.

The guy whom she loved so much, had broken her heart. I wouldn't say she likes Harry, she freaking loves Harry. And her breaking down after he said no, proved it all.

Somewhere I guess I shouldn't have brought up this idea of the competition. Maybe Sasha wouldn't have got hurt today. Maybe she would have said it later, but still, maybe today wasn't the day.

I don't blame Sasha for all this though. Everyone has the right to express their feelings, specially when they like someone so much.

And Harry, I don't say he did wrong. It's all maybe to soon for him. It's only been a few days since they've known each other.

"Zara, you know what. Today when I was with Harry, I actually realised how much I love him.", Sasha said in her heavy voice, as she wiped away her tears, gently pulling away from me.

"I know.", I gave her a appreciating smile.

She managed to give a smile and then went back to her previous upset state quickly. Her eyes were bloodshot. Her hair was in a mess. And of course her heart was in a mess. It really hurts to see your best friend like that, specially when you find yourself completely helpless.

I hope Zayn manages to do some thing.

As I caressed Sasha's back, she spoke up again. She had a lot inside her, and she needed to take it all out. And I'll be there for her.

"I think I actually realise what love is. You know..", she left out a breath, " of course you know. You love Zayn so much. But I think love is when someone takes you to a place no one else can. And I felt that when I was with Harry a few hours ago. I felt so damn happy.", she paused for a few seconds and then continued," I can't explain what exactly I like in him now. It's just the way he makes me feel a bit different, a feeling so foreign. But.." , Sasha trailed off as she tried to hold in her tears which welled up in her hazel eyes again.

The momentary lighting up in her eyes was now replaced by tears all over them, ready to drop out.

"Sasha, it's okay love. Everything will get better okay? Please don't cry. Zayn will not like his little sister crying like that.", I pleaded.

"Yeah.", she almost whispered.

I pushed her hair back and set it properly.

Sasha had her lips pursed now. She was simply lost in her thoughts, staring into the distance.

"Baby, just get some rest. You really need some right now.", I said to Sasha softly, although I knew she won't be sleeping so easily today.

"Uhm, let just..let Zayn come. Once I know Harry is not upset, and Zayn gave him the pills, I'll sleep."

"Sasha.."

"Please?", Sasha cut me off before I could convince her.

"FIne.", I half smiled.

Even after what Harry did to her, this girl was still caring about her, still waiting to hear that he is good. I guess that's what love is. That's what forces people in doing things they shouldn't actually do.

I heard the door knob turn, and I looked towards it.

Zayn walked in slowly, a hint of anger in his eyes, and his fists rolled up against his sides.

"Zayn?", I said to him softly as he seated himself on the chair.

"He's an idiot. I'm telling you. He's a fucking idiot!", Zayn shouted.

I stood up and walked up to Zayn who was fuming with anger right now.

"What happened baby? Please just calm down.", I said to him, bringing my hands to his shoulders as I watched him from above.

"I can't.", Zayn snapped.

"What's wrong? What did he say Zaynie?", Sasha said from the side. She sounded as if she already knew the answer, but just wanted to hear it for real.

"He..", Zayn left out a sigh, trying to keep calm. Zayn didn't actually know how to say what he wanted to say.

"It's okay Zayn. Don't say it. I know it already. ", Sasha said in her heavy voice from the bed.

Maybe she understood what happened with Harry and Zayn down there, and I was giving it a guess too. Harry didn't give in to Zayn's convincing.

"Sasha..", Zayn said in his thick voice.

"It's fine. Did you give him the medicines?", Sasha asked, with a sudden change of her tone. She sounded upset a few seconds ago, and now she sounded worried about Harry, almost forgetting she was upset because of the same guy.

"Yeah I did. I left them on his table.", Zayn replied. He seemed really upset. He isn't telling the entire thing to Sasha, but I need to know it all.

"Guys I'll just get some sleep.", Sasha said, standing up from my bed, and walking towards hers.

She was on the verge on bursting into tears. But for some reason, she was trying to hold in everything.

And Zayn and I were absolutely hated seeing her like that.

"Dear..", Zayn exclaimed, standing up from the chair and walking towards his little sister.

"I'm fine Zayn.", Sasha said, bringing her hand in the front, stopping Zayn from going any closer to her.

She was building walls around her, trying to stay away from us. But that didn't seem a good idea to me.

"Okay, just sleep well okay? And please don't cry? I hate seeing you like that. And no need to cry for that idiot.", Zayn's tone changed from soft to angry in a second.

Sasha opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but immediately closed it, dropping the idea.

She nodded to Zayn and lied down on her bed, throwing the blanket above her, and curling up inside it.

It's getting really cold.

Zayn turned around to me and whispered in my ear, " Come with me. I need to tell you something."

I knew he was about to tell me all that happened in Harry's room , so I quickly nodded and followed him outside.

Zayn's POV.

I closed the door gently behind me as I walked out following Zara.

Zara walked for a small distance and then stopped in the balcony that stood on our left.

I followed her and stood right beside her, exhaling again and again trying to get myself back to being composed.

Zara turned to look at me and without wasting a second closed the gap between the two of us, bringing up her arms to my torso, and wrapping them around me. I hugged her back and dig me face in her neck, trying to find a bit of relaxation.

Zara caressed my back, " It's okay Zayn. Just don't get angry. You seem like a different person when you do that."

As much as I wanted to just stay with her, right there, in her arms, for like eternity, I knew I could not do that. I have to talk to her.

"I'm sorry, but Harry..", I trailed off, not understanding where to start off. That idiot really got on my nerves.

"Yeah what happened there? What did he say?" , Zara enquired.

I pulled away and brought my hands to hers, wrapping them around each other, and turned to look into the sky.

I looked back at Zara who was patiently waiting for me to start off, so I did.

...

"Harry is actually and idiot. He's letting his past ruin his present as well!", Zara spoke when I finally finished telling her the entire thing.

"I know.", I sighed.

Zara looked into the distance and had no idea what to say next, just like me.

I turned to look at her, and she did the same.

She walked up closer to me and placed her palm on my chest, her face a few inches apart from me.

I stared into her beautiful chestnut eyes, and pulled her closer to me, wrapping my hands around her waist.

She closed her eyes and pressed her lips against mine, snapping me out of all this mess, and taking me into another world.
