My sister's boyfriend

9

Liam opened the door and this was all he could hear was yelling.

"Zayn what is wrong with you? I thought you loved me?" Liam quietly closed the door and slumped against the wall.

"I do love you. It's not like that anymore. I love someone else." Liam took a fast intake of breath, hoping to dear God they couldn't hear it. Is he going to tell her?

Oh yeah I fucked your brother and I love-wait-he said love. I love someone else..... That couldn't be him. Zayn couldn't be talking about him.

"Wh-what do you mean? Who? Goddamn it Zayn who." Liam heard a slap and felt tears welling up in his eyes. His mistakes caused this. His rebellion and need for excitement did this. He's not only hurting his sister, but he's hurting Zayn. His face felt wet and he knew he, screwed up. He didn't even notice them coming downstairs.

"Zayn get back-Liam?" Liam looked up, eyes puffy with tears with two eyes staring at him. One was filled with fear and the other concern.

"I got this-" Zayn spoke up reaching towards Liam.

"No" Perrie butted in, slapping his hand away. They glared at one another and it only caused more tears to roll down his face.

"You don't understand Perrie." Zayn sighed, kneeling down and whispering words in Liam's ear.

"C'mon Liam, I got you. We'll go to mine." Liam was too weak in his heart to protest. Perrie stared back in confused anger.

"I want him back here tonight or I'll kick your ass myself Malik." She cursed, kicking at a wall as Liam slumped towards Zayns car.

He didn't tell her .

The car ride was silent. Zayn turned down the radio almost instantly, waiting for Liam to say something. Liam didn't.

"I'm still sorry for this morning." Zayn said, glancing to see any reaction. He couldn't, however, because Liam was turned straight to the window. He sniffed, trying to stop crying. It really wasn't working effectively.

Zayn snapped his mouth closed, driving his way back to his house.

"Talk to me, won't ya?" Zayn rubbed at Liam's shoulders but Liam shook his head. Zayn dropped his arms in defeat and laid on the floor.

"Do you know how hard it is to love two people? Each of them is different. You and Perrie are different. I love her but I love you. I wish I could explain it better but I can't. You.......you show me I have limits. I can't do too much or I screw up. Like this morning, I screwed up. I knew I did. Perrie likes to stay with her friends and have fun. I like to have fun too. It's just you, you know? I sound like a complete ass." He laughed nonchalantly, and Liam raised his head.

"It's pretty much an ass move to love two people in general. Especially if they are in the same family. Especially if you knew how much pain it'd cause. I am hurting and it feels as if it is almost physical pain. I feel like some person you come to only for your personal enjoyment. I keep wondering if you actually feel how you say you feel."

"I-"

"Shut it Zayn. If you wanna go have fun with Perrie, go ahead. That's your girlfriend. I am nothing to you." Liam glared at Zayn, but it wasn't hatred. It was exhaustion. He was tired. Liam looked back towards the ground when silence was his only answer.

Zayn sat stricken for a few minutes. How could he say such a thing? Zayn shook off his confusion and his rising tears. He sat back up, on his knees, and cupping Liam's dried face.

"You are not nothing. You mean a lot to me. I may be the most sexual person in existence but I-"

"Hell yeah you are the most sexual person in existence. You take my virginity and y-you turn me into this person who just needs for you more than sex. Look what you've done to me! I'm a crying mess because of not only Perrie's pain but yours. It's all my fault because I let you get into my head!" Liam snapped, tears threatening to fall until it can't no longer.

"What have you done to me Zayn? " Liam whispered and Zayn heard perfectly. And Zayn kissed him like he never kissed anyone before. He could feel his own few tears going down his face.

"I love you Liam. I know that's hard for you to comprehend right now and maybe because I'm quite hungover but I do. I may not love you with everything I got but I want to. I will, if you let me." Their foreheads were touching and their breaths were heavy. Liam thought he saw a spark in Zayn's eye. Maybe it was just the lighting.

"We have to tell her.... "

"I think she's had enough of me today. Just stay the night and we'll tell her when she comes to kick my tail." Silent laughter filled the room and a door closed somewhere in the house.

"I'm hoping that's your mom." Liam, laughed into his arm.

"Better than the alternative."
