Forever Young
Have fun with that
Carly’s POV
I’d been at work with Danielle all day but never got a chance to ask her about Liam so when we got outside after work, I asked her.
“So, what happened last night?” I asked as we walked down the steps.
“What?” She asked innocently.
“Come on, you cant play dumb to the girl who took you back to your room.” I stopped walking and she started giggling like a little girl.
“Well, we…um” She blushed.
“You and him…?!” I almost yelled.
“Mhm, and it was amazing.” She smiled at me. “And he asked me out on a date for tonight.”
“That’s cute.” I cooed looking down at my phone.
“What’s up with you and Harry?” She asked watching me text him.
“Nothing.” I shrugged putting the phone away.
“You guys had sex though?” To her, sex meant a lot.
“Yea…” I knew she didn’t understand what I did but I was hoping she wouldn’t lecture me on it.
“Okay.” She shook her head and started walking again.
“Well, I gotta go.” I saw Harry’s black SUV stop at the curb.
“Have fun.” She smiled as I walked away but had a protective look in her eyes.
I jogged over to his car and opened the door. He smiled at me while I climbed in.
“How was work?” He asked pulling away from the curb.
“Good, we have the rest of the week off because our manager has another ‘shoot planned.” I was so excited; I had the next five days off.
“Perfect.” He smiled to himself as we neared a red light.
“Why?” I was confused.
“We fly back to England on Monday for two weeks.” He seemed upset but excited. “And Demi is supposed to leave for Florida.”
“Oh, so it’ll just be me and El?” This could be fun.
“Yup.” He put the car in park in front of the building and turned off the car.
“So, who knows about last night?” I asked shyly.
“Just us I think.” His eyes got serious.
“And Danielle and Zayn…” I didn’t want him to be mad.
“You told Zayn?” He smiled.
“No, I just think he knows.” I shrugged.
“Okay.” He paused to unbuckle. “Oh, tonight it’ll just be you and Zayn.” He said before getting out.
I got out and walked around the front of the car. He opened the front door for me and walked in behind me.
“Why will it just be us?” I asked pushing the elevator button.
“Tonight’s date night for the guys and I have plans.” He was hiding something but I didn’t really care, I liked that we didn’t have to share everything.
“Have fun with that.” I laughed when the elevator doors opened on the top floor.
“Thanks?” He questioned.
“Thanks for the ride.” I smiled up at him.
“You're welcome.” He laughed walking to the kitchen while I walked over to the couch where Liam and Louis were sitting.
“Hey guys.” I sat down between them.
“Hey.” Liam said quietly.
“Hola!” Louis said excitedly. “What time do you work tomorrow?”
“I don’t, I’m off until Monday.” I pulled my legs up and sat crisscross.
“Yay! We can actually do fun stuff this week.” He cheered making me laugh.
“This showed be interesting.” I laughed as Liam got up and walked away.
“What are you doing tonight?” Louis asked seriously.
“Sleeping, I don’t know.” I shrugged looking at him.
“Oh, well all of us are going out so it will probably be just you and Zayn.” He smiled at me and then it went away. “What’s going on with you and Harry?”
“Nothing.” I shook my head but he shook his head. “We’re just friends.”
“Whatever you say.” He wasn’t buying it but he went with it.
He started messing with his phone so I pulled mine out and texted Danielle about tonight. I decided to go to my room but when I started walking down the hallway, Zayn stood in front of me. My face hit his chest making him laugh at me.
“I hate you.” I grumbled walking past him.
“I love you too.” He laughed continuing down the hallway.
Zayn’s POV
I laughed walking down the hallway as Carly went into her room. Louis was lying on the couch with his phone in his hand. I was walking into the kitchen when Harry bumped into me.
“Sorry” He apologized looking up at me.
“It’s fine.” I mumbled moving past him.
“You okay?” He asked grabbing my arm.
“Yea.” I shrugged out of his grasp.
I felt like I couldn’t talk to him since last night; it just felt wrong. Liam and Niall were in the kitchen when I walked in but Niall walked out after Harry. I walked over to the fridge and looked for food but couldn’t find anything I wanted.
“Zayn, are you okay?” Liam asked shyly.
“Not really but I don’t want to talk about it.” I answered turning around to look at him. “Sorry.”
“It’s okay, I’m here whenever you do want to talk.” He smiled and walked away.
The whole situation pissed me off and I couldn’t do anything to fix it. Harry had asked for a chance because he thought her and I were together but now I know they slept together and I didn’t know what to do. I walked around the kitchen aimlessly as I thought about how to fix this. Finally, I decided I should just talk to Harry. I walked out of the kitchen and looked into the living room but he wasn’t there. My stomach was telling me not to do it but I walked down the hallway to his room anyways.
His door was open and he was sitting on the bed watching TV. I walked in and sat on his desk.
“Hey.” He said in a quiet voice.
“Hi.” I didn’t know how to start this conversation.
“I’m guessing you want to talk about Carly?” He seemed so cocky and it was pissing me off.
“Yea.” I nodded and stood up to close the door.
“Well,” he waited for me to close it and sit back down, “Last night was just a friendly thing. She said that we’d stay friends so I’m guessing that it doesn’t mean anything.” He was happy it all happened but I think he had just realized what it meant.
“Okay…” I didn’t know what else to say; just because it didn’t mean anything doesn’t mean she wants to be with me.
“I think that means she doesn’t want to be with me.” He looked sad.
“I think it just means she wants to have fun and not be in a relationship.” I don’t know why but I had to comfort him, my natural instinct was to make sure he was okay no matter how upset I was. “Don’t take it personally Harry, she didn’t even want anything with me.”
“But I think she does, she probably just doesn’t know how to approach it with you.” He shrugged. “I was the one who brought it up, not her.”
He might have been right, she did start the kiss in her room not me. I needed to just relax and let tonight play out.
“I’m sorry for all of this Harry.” I mumbled looking at him.
“I’m sorry too, no matter what you're still my best friend.” He smiled.
“Same for you.” I laughed standing up. “I’ll be in my room.”
“Okay.” He nodded as I left.
