~Zayn's POV~
Flustered, I turned and walked quickly toward the restroom, eager to escape the embarrassment and the sharp sting of jealousy.
I leaned against the cool tile wall of the restroom, breathing hard, replaying the scene, and hating my loss of control. I knew I was wrong to lash out at Evric's friend, regardless of the provocation.
The door burst open instantly, and Evric rushed in, his eyes wide and concerned. The moment I saw him, the last shreds of my composure dissolved, and I ran to him, throwing my arms around his neck in a desperate, clinging hug.
"I'm sorry!" I choked out, the panic making my voice tremble. "I'm so sorry, babe! I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry for shouting at your friend, for losing my temper, and for getting angry. I know I was wrong."
Evric's hands immediately cupped my face, forcing me to look at his gentle, reassuring eyes. "Hey, sweetheart, it's okay. You did nothing wrong. Not one single thing."
