I hadn’t spoken to anyone the past 2 weeks after Justin moved. I barely ate and I didn’t leave my room, I refused to go to school. The only person I talk to is Justin. Everyday. On Skype.
Like right now I’m lying on my bed listening to him talk about his day at school. “You had to be there baby it was fucking hilarious!” He exclaimed with a laugh. I laughed along with him even though I had no idea what he was talking about.
“Hey Darren?” I turned my head back to the screen.
“Yeah Justie.” I asked, tilting my head to the side slightly.
“I love you.” He whispered and I grinned.
“I love you too Justie. More than anything.” He smirked.
“Even pizza?” He questioned and without hesitation I nodded.
“Definitely.” I said and he smiled.
“Good. I have to go my love but I’ll talk to you tomorrow.” He said and I frowned then nodded softly.
“Ok…” I whispered. “Talk to you tomorrow.” I said then he smiled and blew me a kiss then the screen went black.
I shut my laptop and threw myself backwards into the bed with a groan. I miss him so much!
I stared at my ceiling before picking up my phone and flicking through Twitter. I heard a knock from my window and turned to see Zayn. I sighed but got up and let him in, he swung into my room and grinned.
“Hello princess. You must be missing Justin terribly so I came over to cheer you up!” He said with a goofy smile, I couldn’t help but smile slightly.
“Well I appreciate it but I’m ok. Just missing him.” I mumbled and Zayn nodded, engulfing me in a tight hug.
“So am I Darren.” He said with a sigh. I gave in and hugged him back, letting him hold me close to him.
I pulled away and sat down on my bed and opened my laptop; lying down on my stomach and scrolling through Tumblr. The bed shifted as Zayn lay beside me and smirked.
“Are you really on Tumblr looking at couples?” He asked in amusement and I shut my laptop abruptly and threw it onto the floor beside my bed and turned to him.
“Since when do you give two shits about what I do?” I asked and he shrugged.
“I was bored and wanted to hang out with my bud Darren.” He said with a big smile.
I shook my head. “Unbelievable.” I muttered.
“What?” Zayn and asked and I clenched my fists. He’s so full of shit.
“I DON’T WANT YOU HERE ZAYN!” I yelled and he looked taken back by my outburst before standing up and grabbing his phone off the bed beside him and storming over to the window.
“Fine. I’m sure I have better places to be. Being here puts a bad taste in mouth anyway.” He muttered before climbing back out the window and I heard him thud to the ground. I sighed and stood up; walking over and shutting the window before sitting down beside my windowsill and watching him climb over the fence and jog off down the streets until he disappeared into dark of night; the street lights no longer showing him and his shadow.
I sighed and stared out the window where he turned a corner into the next street and rested my head against the window.

I woke up the next morning at 6:37 am and decided I needed to face school so I showered and threw on a pair of skinny jeans and a Lakers jersey Justin left at my house once, sure, it was too big, but it smelt like him.
I grabbed my bag and slipped on my black TOMS and a beanie before walking downstairs and smiling at mum and Max who jumped up and engulfed me in a hug. I ate breakfast silently then threw my dishes in the sink and dragged myself out to my car.
I climbed in and sighed; resting my head against the steering wheel before sighing again and sitting up straight and starting up the car. I pulled out of the drive and began driving towards school.
I got out of my car and grabbed my bag, I looked around before hitching my bag further up onto my shoulder and trudged into school towards my locker. All around me people were staring and whispering or nudging their friends and pointing.
I shook them off as I got my books out of my locker and closed it to see Zayn and his friends standing there with big smiles on their faces, all except Zayn who was scowling at me.
He took a step back and motioned at the guys to go. They walked towards me and one, who I recognised as Matthew Mullins from my class pinned me up against the lockers while Austin and Oli from the class below mine threw punches and kicks everywhere. Austin threw a powerful swing at my gut and I went to double over in pain, only to be held up straight by Matthew which only intensified my pain.
“Ah!” I yelled as I felt Austin’s fist connect with my stomach over and over again while Oli kicked me. The bell rang for home room and they dropped me. I fell to the ground beside my locker and gasped for air. Zayn stepped over me and they walked towards home room.
I continued to gasp for air when I felt someone pulling me up, I looked up to see some guy with sandy blonde hair and blue eyes, he was tan and muscular and had an award winning smile.
He smiled at me and helped me to my feet. “Hey are you ok?” He asked in a thick Australian accent. I nodded and he brushed off my shoulders.
“I’m Aaron. But you can call me AJ.” He said with a grin and I smiled slightly.
“I’m Darren.” I said and he smirked.
“Believe me I know.” He then disappeared into a passing sea of people and I sighed before walking to home room. Did I really just meet him? Or was it my imagination filling the space that Justin left. I decided to go with the second option before trudging down the hallway.
I walked into home room and Mr Glass looked at me but said nothing as I dragged myself to my seat, I sat down at the back beside Sindy and she poked me in the ribcage.
“What?” I hissed and she poked me again. “Can you stop?” I snapped and she sighed.
“You’ve been ignoring me for two fucking weeks! What have you been doing?!” She whispered and I shrugged.
“Thinking.” I breathed with a shrug. The bell rang for first period and she stood up and stormed out. I sighed before standing up and walking to my first period class.
I walked in and froze at the door when I laid eyes on Zayn sitting at the back beside my usual seat. The only seat left. I internally groaned and trailed myself down to my seat; throwing my bag beside the chair and getting out my books.
As the teacher spoke and I took notes a folded piece of paper was set on the desk in front of me. The front said ‘please read after class.’ I sighed and looked up to meet Zayn’s gaze. He looked like a sad puppy so I sighed softly and stuffed the slip of paper quickly into my pocket and continued writing.

After class I packed up and hastily left the classroom. I walked to my locker and got my books for the next couple periods before shutting my locker and taking out the note from Zayn.
I ran a hand through my hair and smoothed out the wrinkles in the paper before unfolding it and scanning my eyes over the words scribbled messily over the paper.
Darren. I’m sorry about this morning, can we talk? I’ve been a dick to you about Justin and I just realised that it wasn’t your fault. You guys were in love, and it was foolish of me to attempt to break you two up.
Meet me behind the school bleachers in the abandoned gym hall after 4th period. I know that’s your free period. Please show up. I’m skiving off to see you and if you ditch me I might get caught out waiting for you. Please show up.
~Zayn.
I rolled my eyes and put it back in my pocket and ran off towards next period as I ran I tripped; and smashed right into someone’s chest.
I landed on the floor with a thud and the breath was knocked out of me, I felt someone pull me up and looked up to see Aaron. So he does exist…
“Whoa sorry man… Didn’t see you there.” I mumbled and he shrugged with a chuckle before picking up my books and handing them to me. I took them and mumbled a thank you before fixing my hair and brushing myself off.
“So. You’re going to be late for second period, so I’ll let you go.” He said before turning and walking towards my physics classroom. We arrived and he pushed the door open then looked at me.
“Oh cool.” He said with a grin and I smirked and nodded before walking in and sitting at my usual seat at the back, AJ sat beside me and took out his books.

Third period flew by and before I knew it I was walking through the middle school hallways and into the gym hall. High schoolers weren’t supposed to be in here so if we got caught we’d be screwed. Oh well.
I walked into the dimly light room and dropped my bag on a bench beside the door, I stepped further into the room; my footsteps echoing through the hall.
“Zayn?” I called into the darkness, the sound of my voice being the only thing that shattered the silence of the hall.
“Over here.” I looked over to see Zayn’s head poke out from behind one of the bleachers, he motioned me over before disappearing behind the bleacher again. I sighed and jogged over; ducking behind the bleacher and sitting on the cold gym floor with my legs crossed and my head down.
After a few minutes of awkward silence Zayn cleared his throat and my eyes shot back up to look at him again. “Look Darren I’m… I’m… Ugh!”
He sighed and threw his head back; whacking it against the bleacher behind him and he instantly reached up and grabbed his head; letting out a yell of pain that rumbled through the gym.
“Motherfucker!” I clamped a hand over his mouth as I heard someone approaching the gym, my whole body shaking with silent laughter as the gym flooded with light and Zayn’s eyes widened.
“I know you’re in here. I found your bag.” Shit. I looked back at Zayn with an apologetic look and motioned for him to follow me as I slowly took my hand down from his mouth.
I slowly shuffled against the wall towards the fire exit as Zayn followed behind me, stubbing his toe off every other bench and cursing under his breath. It took everything in me not to wet myself laughing.
I slowly opened the fire exit and motioned for Zayn to go first. He looked unsure but nodded and shuffled past me, our chests pressed together as he swallowed and gave me a small awkward smile. I nodded in return and he looked like he was trying to talk himself into something before he visibly gave up and left the gym hall.
I then shut the fire exit and walked out from behind the bleachers to face the janitor that stood by the door. He quirked an eyebrow and sighed.
“Darren Jones. Principal’s office. Come on.” I nodded and grabbed my bag before shuffling out of the gym and following him through the hallways and paused outside the principal’s office and looked at the janitor sadly. He sighed before motioning me to leave.
“Fine. But just this once.” I grinned and turned around; sprinting down the hallway towards the lunch room…
