Forever Young
How'd everything go?
Carly’s POV
“How did everything go?” Louis cornered El and I in the kitchen as soon as we got back from the appointment.
“I don’t think I need to be here for this.” I touched El’s arm and looked up at Louis. “You should probably take this conversation into your room.”
El nodded and grabbed his hand before leading him down the hallway to their room. They walked away, hand in hand, while I held their secret. I decided to go sit down in the living room but shut down that idea when I saw Zayn sitting alone on the couch.
“Hey” He stopped me on my way to my room.
“Hi” I mumbled looking at him.
“What’s up?” He asked in a way that sounded like he wanted to talk. “Is everything okay?”
“Yea, everything’s fine.” I shrugged sitting down on the opposite couch.
“That’s good…” He looked away from me. “I’m sorry about everything that happen, Carly.”
“Zayn, it’s okay. I completely understand and respect you for telling me. I get how you feel.” I reached over and grabbed his hand. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you how I was feeling.”
“What’re you talking about?” He was confused and seemed hurt.
“I’ve been having some weird thoughts about Harry that I know I shouldn’t and I’m sorry I didn’t tell you.” My words unveiled all my anger towards myself. “I feel so bad about all of this, I wish I would have said something but I was so scared.”
“It’s fine, I understand being scared. I’m just glad things didn’t get too serious before we realized that this wasn’t right.” His eyes showed the pain that he hid so well.
“Yea, me too.” I mumbled looking down at my chipped nails.
“I know this isn't my business but have you talked to him about this?” He asked shyly.
“Kind of. When I walked into the house after everything, he noticed I was crying so he pulled me aside and asked what happened and I blurted it out.” I shrugged still not looking at him even though I knew he was watching me.
“You cried?” He seemed so surprised. “I’m so sorry.” His voice was shaky.
“Zayn, stop apologizing. It’s okay, I’m kinda glad everything happen like it did.” I looked up at him now and saw his eyes water. “Being with you was really fun and I like that we’re close but I should have seen that we weren’t meant to be. I don’t know about me and Harry but I knew we weren’t meant to be together, I just never listened to that part of me.”
“I shouldn’t have asked you out that night, I knew I wanted to be with Perrie. I’m sorry I wasn’t honest.” He blinked quickly making me tear up.
“I forgive you. We really should find other things to say besides ‘I’m sorry’ and ‘It’s okay’.” I chuckled trying to lighten the mood.
“Yea, we should.” He laughed. “Can we agree that everything is okay between us now?”
“Sure.” I nodded scooting into the couch.
“Good, subject change; what are the plans for our last night in New York?” He asked reminding me that they were leaving tomorrow.
“Demi and I had some ideas but we haven't picked one.” I shrugged pulling out my phone. “I need to call her and work out the details, I’ll see you later.” I stood up and walked toward my room but stopped before I made it to the hallway. “Zayn, thanks for understanding.”
“You're welcome.” He smiled and went back to the t.v. as I continued to my room.
“You take longer than I do and I’m a girl.” I heard El teasing Louis.
“Don’t start with me babe.” He grumbled back at her.
“So I’m guessing everything is back to normal between them?” Harry asked standing next to me in my room.
“What do you mean?” I wasn’t sure what to say.
“I know about the ‘appointment’ and what it was about but we haven't talked since you guys got back today.” He whispered.
“Oh, I don’t think it’s my place to say.” I shrugged picking up my heels.
“I get it.” He smiled and walked out of my room.
I finished getting ready and walked out to the living room. Niall and Demi were in the walkway to the kitchen, eating of course while Liam and Danielle talked to them. I looked over and saw Zayn and Perrie getting cozy on the couch; they looked happy and he had that look in his eyes that showed he liked her a lot. Brushing it off, I walked back down the hallway to El and Louis’s room. The door was open and Harry was talking to El while Louis sat on the bed, lacing up his shoes.
“That’s great.” Harry hugged her.
“Can I come in?” I asked pushing the door open a little bit more.
“Sure.” Louis smiled at me and encouraged me to go in. “Thanks for everything, Carly.”
“You’re welcome.” I didn’t know what to say, I was just being a good friend.
“Nobody else needs to know about what happened, okay?” El asked looking at each of us.
“Of course.” We all mumbled to each other.
“I’m so happy that you aren’t, I mean I want you two to have kids but not anytime soon.” Harry blushed knowing he sounded like a dork. “Sorry, that came out wrong.”
“No, I totally get it. I feel the same way, you don’t need to apologize Harry.” El really understood especially when it came to the guys, probably from having to deal with them everyday.
“We should probably get going.” Louis pointed out looking down at his watch.
“How did everything go?” Louis cornered El and I in the kitchen as soon as we got back from the appointment.
“I don’t think I need to be here for this.” I touched El’s arm and looked up at Louis. “You should probably take this conversation into your room.”
