CHAPTER 8

                                    

                                          
ZAYN P.O.V.
"Liam stop it." I said as he continued to tickle me.
"But I love your laugh." he said and started leaving kisses all over my face which made me giggle even more.
Liam continue to tickle me and I continue to tickle me. When he finally stopped I was still breathless. He hovered over me and was looking at me weirdly.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked and started playing with his hair.
"Just thinking how beautiful you are and how lucky I am that you're all mine." Liam said and kissed me softly.
"You have no idea how much I love you Zayn." he whispered against my lips.
When we realized what he said we both froze.
"Y-You really mean that?" I asked him.
"I do. I do love you Zayn. I love you more then words can explain." Liam said and I smiled.
"You're so beautiful, smart and talented. You made me change for the better and I'll be forever thankful for that. You make me so happy and I wish to be with you for the rest of my life." he said making me blush.
"Since when is my boyfriend such a sap." I joked and he rolled his eyes playfully.
"Just so you know." I whispered against his lips.
"I love you too. And I'm so happy that I'm the one calling you mine." I said before kissing him.
We were kissing for a while before Liam lay down next to me and we cuddled while looking at the star and the sea.

I was going to the locker room after the game to congratulate Liam when I saw Max. I tried to hide from him but he saw me and made his way to me.
"I need to tell you something." Max said.
"What is that?" I asked.
"Liam is playing you." he said.
"What?" I asked confused.
"I heard from come cheerleaders that Liam made a bet that he will get into your pants before he finishes this school year." Max said.
"Good joke Max." I sad annoyed.
"I'm being serious Zayn. Look." he said and took out his phone.
He showed me a video that broke my heart. In the video you could clearly hear Liam making the bet with his teammates.
"I'm sorry you had to find out this way." Max said and tried to hug me but I pushed me away.  
I wiped my eyes and now I was angry. I pushed Max away and made my way to the changing room. I entered and saw all the boys were half naked but I didn't care right now. I made my way to Liam who looked at me with a bright smile but it disappeared when he saw that I was angry. He was about to speak up but I slapped him making everyone gasp in shock.
"How could you!?" I shouted.
"How could you play with my feelings like that!?" I shouted.
"Zayn,babe, calm down. What are you talking about?" he asked.
"I'm talking about the bet you made with everyone in this room." I shouted and everyone froze.
"H-How do you know about that?" Liam asked shocked.
I just looked at him and my heart broke all over again. I thought this was just a joke.
"You're so fucking disgusting." I spat.
"I thought you changed. I thought you loved me." I whispered sadly.
"Zayn babe I do love you. Just pleas hear me out. I can explain." he said and took my hands.
I pulled my hands away from him and took a step back.
"I don't want to see you ever again." I said and left the changing room with tears running down my face.
"Earth to Zayn." Harry said and shook me.
"What?" I asked in a sad whisper.
"Another dream about him?" Harry asked and I nodded.
"They were memories." I mumbled.
"What memories?" he asked and hugged me.
"About the time we said our first I love you to each other on the beach and the memory of the time I found out about the bet." I said lowly, not having energy to talk.
"I'm so sorry you have those again." HaRry said and hugged me.
"He explained." I said after a while.
"What?"Harry asked confused.
"The other day when we were on the date in the restaurant and on the beach." I started to explain.
"He explained that the called off the bet. He told me that his teammates noticed how he changed and called off the bet. He said that he forgot about it until then. He also told me that he wanted to tell me about the bet but they convinced him not to. He said that Max did it because he was jealous that I was with Liam and not with him." I explained.
"Do you believe him?" Harry asked me.
"I don't know what to believe Harry." I sighed.
"He also told me that he still loves me and he cried while he told me anything. He seme honest but I can't risk getting played by him again." I said with a sad sigh.
"Do you still love him?" Harry asked.
"I-I do." I admitted.
It's truth. No matter how badly I tried to move on I still loved him. My heart will always belong to him.
"Don't pressure yourself Zayn." Harry said.
 I was about to protest but he cut me off.
"I know that you still love him and want to give him another chance but you're scared to." he started.
"You don't need to rush anything. Just take hings slowly and see where it takes you." he said.
"Do you think he really still loves me?" I asked.
"Hundred percent." Harry said and I just nodded.
Maybe I can give him another try. Maybe he really did call off the bet. Maybe we can be happy again. Maybe we can fix what we broke.
