Bad News from Britian

When I got to the mall, I made my way to the place where Stacy and I always meet. When I got there I started looking around at the clothes, and keeping an eye out for Stacy.

I was looking at some dresses, like my mom suggested me to do. When I felt a pair of hands grab my shoulders hard, as an attempt to try to scare me. It would have worked if it wouldn't have been done to many times in the past.

I turned around to see Stacy smiling at me, "Hey!" She said eagerly "Whatcha looking at?"

"Just some dresses, for my cousin Anthony's wedding. Have you met him?"

"I think maybe once, but anyway have you found anything?"

"No not yet." We continued looking around in that store for a little bit longer and then made our way to a few more.

Stacy was talking about her new boyfriend Lucas. He was really nice, cute and funny, and she seemed to really like him. I as her best friend gave him, my stamp of approval, but I did give him the don't you dare hurt my friend speech, just to make sure.

We stopped to get a smoothie and heading to another store. We were passing the movie theater that's in the mall, when Stacy stopped me suddenly almost causing me to choke on straw. "Is that Amber over there!" She said pointing over at the movies.

I looked over and there Amber standing over at the movie theater, she had on skinny jeans with a coral blazer and a white tank top on under it, and her hair was curled. What was she doing here, and who was she with?

We quickly moved closer to theater and hid behind a plant, "What is she doing here? She said she was busy?" Stacy hissed in my ear, as we continued to watch her.

Then a dark figure walked over to her, and handed her movie tickets, took her hand and went to the concession stand. "She's on a date! Who is that?" Stacy said perking up to try to get a better look.
At first I didn't recognize who it was but as I continued to watch, I saw a glimpse of the side of the guy's face. "It's Zayn!" I whisper yelled over to Stacy.

Her eyes went wide when she realized I was right. "Oh My God it is! Why wouldn't she tell us about it?" She asked sounding a bit hurt.

That was a good question, why wouldn't Amber tell us about this? If she thought we wouldn't be happy for her or we wouldn't approve of him, she was wrong. Or did she think we weren't worth telling.We would've been happy for her, and tell her to tell us all of the details after the date, but her not telling us never gave us that opportunity. I also felt hurt about this. I didn't want to keep thinking about this anymore.

"Come on Stac. Let's go I don't wanna keep watching them, and besides they'll be going into the movie soon anyway." I said turning and walking away. I felt Stacy follow behind me.

After Stacy and I found discovered Amber and Zayn, our mood had changed drastically. We were both just bumped and confused about this whole situation. We mainly just looked around.

I honestly didn't trust Zayn or any of his friends when I came to relationships. I think they are all players but I never really said anything to serious out loud about it to any of my friends, at least after we started hanging out with them more. I hope that's not why she didn't tell us.

"So do you think we should talk to Amber about us seeing her?" Stacy asked breaking me out of my daze. We were heading toward the parking lot.

"Yeah but not right away, let's see if she tells us. Maybe she wanted to see how the date went first you know."

"Yeah maybe." She said sounded hopeful.

"Let's wait about a week, or something."

"Yeah that's sounds good, we are telling Tess right."

"Oh yeah, well this was fun, but I gotta get home." I said motioning toward my car.

"Me too. I'll see you Monday." She said, and started going over to her car.

I did the same, when I got in my car I continued to think about Amber and Zayn.

Almost anyone could tell they liked each other by the way they constantly flirting with each other. Maybe Stacy and I were just thinking to much into it, like I said to Stacy just a second ago, maybe she was waiting to see what happened on the date.

I didn't want to keep thinking about this, it was just bringing me down. I continued down the road, I turned up the radio trying to get the thoughts out of my head. Doing this always keeps my mind off anything.

I don't know why, but I had this strange attachment to music and things of that sort. I've always been like that, it's just found a way to distract me from whatever is on my mind.

By now I was getting closer to my neighborhood, and I turned into it. I made two more turns and pulled up in front of my house, like I always do.

I was about to get out of the car when I stopped myself, something felt off. I looked around from where I sat in the driver's seat. I didn't see anything, but I couldn't shake the feeling like someone was watching me.

I rolled my eyes at myself, I really was getting to paranoid lately for some reason. Still just to be on the safe side, I got out and held my keys, the way one would for self defense. I locked my car door and quickly walked the short distance between my car and the house. When I was in let out a soft breath of relief and checked one more time to make sure no one was out there. Still nothing, like I said I'm getting paranoid.

I took another deep breath and locked the door. Before I turned away from the door, and into the living room. I was starting to relax until I realized I never took my shopping bags out of my trunk.

Groaning, I got up, I didn't want to go back outside not after that weird feeling I got and plus it's too cold. I grabbed my keys once again, and walked to the back of my car, to get my bags out of the trunk.

Suddenly a cold hand was covering my mouth, and another strong arm wrapped around my waist, tightly and securely to make sure I didn't escape from their grasp. I screamed into the hand that was covering my mouth, and bit into it hard.

I then heard a loud, "OW!" as the hand quickly moved away from my mouth, but the other arm stayed tightly around my waist, "Man Erin, was it really necessary to bite me so hard!" I heard a familiar voice say behind me.

I spun around quickly to see Harry looking down at his hand with fake concern. "Well I wouldn't have had to bite you if you wouldn't of scared me like that!"

This caused him to laugh, and look up from his hand and up at me. This green eyes sparkling with amusement. "Yeah that was great you, completely tensed up and freaked out. It took a lot of will power not to burst out laughing." He looked back down at his hand and then brought it up closer to my face to see it. "You made me bleed, I'm bleeding because if you."

I rolled my eyes and grabbed the last bag out of my trunk, and walked back towards my house, and yelled behind me. "You wouldn't be bleeding if you wouldn't have scared me, you brought this on yourself. "
"Man you really don't like being scared do you?" He asked in a mocking tone.

"No I don't, so don't try to test me." That was all I said, before I walked back into the warmth of my home.
