Life, Cars and Zayn Malik... Wait What?!
Chapter 20: Shake It Off
Jamie’s POV
It’s been over a month since I got back from England, and this Ex situation is just getting worse and worse. He hasn’t stopped texting me, even though I keep ignoring him. I don't know why, but it was only yesterday that I had remembered I can block numbers.
I suppose this is what it’s like to have a crazy stalker. If so, it is damn creepy. I would have to tell Zayn eventually, I mean, he knew something was up on the last day we were there. I heard the postman drive off and I looked out the window, and away from the TV screen where I was watching something, I'm not too sure what it actually is…
I yawned as I stood up and walked outside, getting the mail. I got the letters, and almost completely missed the bouquet of flowers next to the fence. I picked them up and smiled as I saw it was addressed to me, how would Zayn even be able to do this from overseas? I opened the little card that was attached, but it didn’t saw from Zayn.
It said ‘Anthony’.
Damn that creepy ex has started sending me things. I walk inside and drop the flowers in the bin straight away, and checked the letters that were in my hand. Bill, bill, bill, paycheck, bill-
Wait, paycheck?!
I threw the others on the bench and opened the envelope from the café, I had extra money for the hours I had worked. “Jeremy, I love you beyond compare.” I said to myself, and found a second paycheck for me from the restaurant. Normal pay, even for the extra hours I had put in. Damn it Raina.
I went through all of the bills and realised that our rent was due. “Amelie! Rent money is due within the next week!” I shouted.
“Shit!” she shouted in response. That can only mean one thing…
“Did you go shopping again?!” I asked.
“A little, yeah!” damn it Amelie.
“F*ck!” was the only response I had.
“Yeah!” this was a great conversation we were having.
“You went all out, didn’t you?!” I went with the unasked question, having a feeling that I didn’t want to know an answer.
“Maybe!” I sighed, ‘maybe’ always means ‘yes’.
“Shitting hell Amelie!” I said, closing off the conversation. I looked at the time, and went to change into my black skinny jeans and shirt, ready to work at the Café.
Amelie’s POV (why yes, I did just do that mwahahahahahamwahaha *cough cough cough* god damn I should stop the laughing… also, this is a few days later after Jamie got some more shit from Anthony. Yeah. And this is POV change is going to be really short. Sorry ;P)
“Amelie! I'm going to the café!” I heard Jamie shout at me.
“Alright! See you later then!” I heard the front door close and her drive away. I got out of my room and walked into the kitchen, finding a flower sticking out from the bin. Being my usual and curious self I wanted to see why they were in there.
I got them out and saw a box of chocolates, some smaller flowers and a… a teddy bear? What? Let’s read the note that’s here, shall we.
To Jamie
I love you
Anthony XX
Wait, Anthony? Isn’t that her ex?
So many ideas were flying around in my head, but why would he be sending her something? Unless…
No, she wouldn’t be cheating on Zayn, would she? But what else could it be? He wouldn’t randomly send something like that to her. He was never like that. It’s the only logical explanation, the only one that made sense.
When Jamie returned back from work, I didn’t talk to her. I don't think I could look at her the same again, not after I found this out.
Jamie’s POV
With the girls, minus Codie, at mine and Amelie’s house, my phone rang. Ironically it was Codie that was calling. “Girls shut up, because Codie is going on speaker.” I instructed, Amelie scoffed at me. She had been acting weird since yesterday, I don't know why, she hasn’t told me anything.
“Yo, what up?” Codie asked, we all replied with different answers. “Um, great? Anyway, you need to come to my house now, I have some very important information for you, that came in an important letter. It tells me not to open it without you guys here, so yeah.”
“Alright, grabbing my keys now. And I’m now getting into the car, be there in five.” Amelie said, before I hung up. We were practically immediately in the car and at Codie’s house. I was first to barge through the door.
“WHAT’S GOING ON IN THIS HOUSE, HUH? WHY WERE WE NOT TOLD OF THIS SHIT EARLIER?!” I shouted, having no clue why I didn’t ask like a normal human being.
“I ONLY JUST GOT THE BLOODY THING!” Codie shouted back in response. I suppose we aren’t normal, so this is kind of expected.
“WELL… OKAY THEN!” I replied. Yep, definitely not normal.
“Open the stupid letter already!” Clarisse shouted unexpectedly, scaring the shit out of me.
“Can everyone stop shouting at me already?!” Codie asked, while shouting.
“Open. The. Bloody. Letter.” Elysse told her in one of the creepiest tones ever heard on this planet.
“Okay, geez.” Codie took the warning, and opened the letter. If anything, this looked like an invitation. “Clarisse, I think Liam wrote this. Anyway, the letter says this.” She cough as she got ready to change to her ‘serious reading a letter’ voice.
“You are cordially invited to, dot dot dot.” Oh my god, hurry up this thing. “Louis’ 23rd birthday!” All you heard was Codie, Amelie and Clarisse squeal. “The theme is Masquerade. Not Masquerade Ball, just Masquerade. Rules apply.” She stopped and looked at us.
“Keep going.” I told her in a harsh tone. She had always been a slow reader, this was not going well for me.
“You must wear a mask. The mask has to stay on ‘till midnight, and you have to use your character name. Ooh, this is interesting. Alright then, continue reading Codie.”She scolded herself. “Amelie will be ‘Fire Princess’. Elysse is ‘Black Swan’. Clarisse is ‘Blue Bird’. Jamie will be ‘Laser Light’.” Laser Light. That’s pretty, but what should I wear?
“Codie, who will you be?” Clarisse asked.
“Codie will be known as the ‘Snow Queen’. RSVP blahda blahda blah, etcetera etcetera. We’re going anyway. However…” she drifted off, how about no. No drifting off.
“What? Why are you ‘however-ing’?” Amelie grabbed Codie’s shoulders and started shaking her violently.
“We’re going to England.” Codie stated.
“F*cking yes!” I shouted, jumping up and down, while Amelie gave me a scowl. Whateves bitch, I'm going to England without you- oh, wait…
“Hells to the yeah, but we need to find dresses.” Clarisse, being the sensible one, reminded us of the fact we had to spend money.
“Well, what are we waiting for?” I asked. “It’s time for shopping then.”
***
“What colour dress do you want?” Elysse asked.
“Be screwed if I actually knew what I wanted for a change.” I answered, touching a random shirt in front of me.
“Well, for starters, that is not a dress.” Elysse pulled me away, dragging me to the dresses.
“Ew.” Was all I said. That’s all I needed to say. “How about, no-” I pointed to the first dress. “-and no-” I pointed to the next one. “-and again, no-”
“How about ‘shut up’?” Elysse asked, before a few more minutes of looking I picked up a random dress without even looking at it, and went to try it on, to keep Elysse happy. She had already chosen a beautiful black dress that made her look skinnier (I didn’t think it could happen, but apparently it can…).
When I came out in it, she gasped. “What? Am I that ugly?” I asked, looking down at the deep green dress.
“No, it just suits you well.” She stated.
“Thanks.” I said. “What do you think Zayn will think?” I asked.
“I think he will think that you were thinking very well when you picked the dress because I think that is smexy.” She answered.
***
So, we finished finding everything for everyone. Amelie still wasn’t talking to me. Not that I really care anyway… Zayn wasn’t here while I was cooking lasagne and brownies. But luckily I had the perfect song for all of my life right now.
“I stay up too late, got nothing in my brain
That's what people say, that's what people say
I go on too many dates, but I can't make them stay
At least that's what people say, that's what people say
But I keep cruising, can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music in my body and it's gonna be alright
Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
I'll never miss a beat, I'm lightning on my feet
And that's what they don't see, that's what they don't see
I'm dancing on my own, I'll make the moves up as I go
And that's what they don't know, that's what they don't know
But I keep cruising, can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music in my body and it's gonna be alright
Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I shake it off, I shake it off
Hey, hey, hey, just think while you've been getting down and out about the liars and dirty, dirty cheats in the world you could have been getting down to this beat
My ex-man bought his new girlfriend
She's like "oh my God", but I'm just gonna shake it
And to the fella over there with the hella good hair
Won't you come on over, baby, we can shake, shake, shake
Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I shake it off, I shake it off.”
So, yeah. Repeat works for everything. I sang along out of tune for the entire time that I was cooking for, not worried about anything.
