Liam's POV

Zayn and I had talked for a while, but after some minutes he took out his phone and started using it. Suddenly, his expression passed from totally calm to a mix of horror and happiness and surprise.

"You ok, lad?" I asked him.

"Focking paparazzi" He reached to say.

"What do you mean now?" I was intrigued.

He handed me his phone and when I looked at the screen I was baffled.

"Zayn, this is booming!" I smiled in pure joy.

He looked at his phone for a longer period.

"No, Liam" He whispered "No, Liam"

"I don't get what could be wrong with that? You like each other! And you even posted a picture of you two before, so the people kinda expected it"

"Right." He paused "BUT SHE WOULDN'T FUCKING IMAGINE THIS. Bloody hell, Liam. Forreal. It's different when the fucking paparazzi invade. It's not your choice, but it makes it seem as if it was bad..." He looked at the ground and then continued "After seeing this she'll ask herself what is actually privacy. She may believe that if she's with me, she won't have a chance to be left alone without being stalked".

He was nervous and I couldn't do anything to make it better.

"They'll find out that Perrie and I broke up and they'll ask" He shook.

"Hell what? It's true, they had to find out sooner or later, and better sooner through some pictures of you hanging out with a stunning girl." I was getting mad.

"She'll get mad... her privacy will be totally corrupted" He said a bit calmer now.

"Then call her and explain what's going on, so that she doesn't get surprised..." I tried to reply as softly as I could.

"Right. I can't do it now."

I just sighed and proceeded to stand up. The kid was so stubborn at times. As soon as I opened the door, a very excited Louis broke his way to Zayn's room.

"On the one hand, Zayno, she looks pretty stunning on the pictures" He nearly shouted.

"Shush, Lou, be a bit quieter." Harry, who was following him proceeded to recall.

"When did they even take those pictures?" Niall, who was now chubbing a piece of cheese into his mouth, asked.

"So it's a fucking band reunion now?" Zayn laughed sarcastically and I entered the room again.

"It apparently is" Harry responded. "You saw the pictures?" Haz sat next to Zayn.

"Hell I did." Zayn expressed.

"Whatcha gonna do?" Niall asked quickly.

"I don't know. Hell, I have no idea! There's nothing to do, just hope that she doesn't get mad and that the media doesn't get that crazy..." Zayn pointed out.

Lou took out his phone and showed it to Zayn.

"I'm sorry mate, but I think that the media has already gone mad..."

Zayn's POV

Three bloody minutes.

Three bloody minutes was all that the internet world needed to make the pictures viral.
