Chaos, the room erupted in chaos. Luca's lawyer was trying to get somethings together to calm everyone down
Liam's father was being held back by Niall and Louis, Liam's mother had already ran out but got stopped by the security
And Zayn's mother stayed by Liam's side. Liam couldn't stop the drum beating in his head.
They heard the council door open and close, signaling that the members left to the meeting room but Liam didn't move
Liam's lawyer was called out ahead and Liam covered his face and took a deep breath
He dropped a hand to his chest and shook his head
"Sweetie... Look at me"
Liam looked at Zayn's mother and nodded "Deep breath in, deep breath out... In then out."
Liam followed her, she smiled and rubbed his back as she nodded
"You aren't… as bad as I thought" Liam whispered
She hugged him "It was a bad 7 years, dear. I met the little thing I'll love forever but everyone and everything I ever knew was taken from me... I had to raise him and I did it in the only way I knew. I made mistakes but I plan on righting them"

The judge leaned back and sighed, he then looked up
"With the evidence that we have, Mr. Luca Vitalle only physically harmed Mr. Payne twice, the heart surgery was for him to stay alive, he thought he knew best when cutting contact between him and his parents and the cheating doesn't count as physical"
He leaned ahead "As Mr. Payne never bothered to report the choking incident it's labeled as void"
"And Mr. Payne assigned Mr. Vitalle after the test"
"He didn't know-"
"But still, at 15 Mr. Liam James Payne set Mr. Luca Vitalle to be his emergency contact"
Liam shook his head and looked down "This can't be happening..."
"IT'S VOID!!"
Everyone turned towards the door and Liam's brows furrowed
Zayn stood there, and the judge frowned as Zayn spoke"It's void, Luca being Liam's emergency contact is void"
"Who are you?"
Zayn stepped ahead "Zayn Malik, son of Adam Malik"
The judges eyes widened and he looked towards the council then at Zayn
"What made you say that it's void?"
Zayn raised his screen and pointed towards the TV "If you'd look at that screen over there-"
He typed something then a video started to play. It's from the gala 6 years ago
Zayn had just stopped punching Luca and asked about his eyes, Luca's lawyer was frowning and Luca's eyes were wide open
"Dissociative identity disorder. My mother told me to not note it down before taking my test"
Zayn cleared his throat "Luca having DID makes it that he shouldn't be allowed to be ones emergency contact unless he's on medication, and if he was it would've been noted down and it'd be known... Therefore it's void as Mr. Vitalle's DID was kept off of the records"
Everyone turned to Liam "Did you know about Mr. Vitalle's DID before you assigned him as your emergency contact?"
Liam shook his head "No"
~~~~~
Liam hugged Zayn tightly and Zayn hugged him back
"Thank you"
Zayn smiled "I'll do it again"
Liam pulled away and put his hand on Zayn's face, Zayn took a deep breath and closed his eyes
"You're free" Zayn whispered
Liam kissed Zayn's cheek "I've been free for a few years… but now I'm officially free"
~~~~~
"ARE YOU INSANE?"
Angela crossed her arms "I don't want my daughter growing up in an environment where her father could hurt her"
"You knew about my DID"
"It's not your DID, Luca. It's everything you've done and continued to do to Liam" Angela sighed "From now on, you'll only see Ariel on supervised visits. No more nights until she's older and chooses to do so"
~~~~~
Liam tucked a curl behind his ear then turned towards the door, he jumped seeing his mother
"Sorry... I didn't hear you coming"
She smiled and shook her head "It's ok dear" she looked around "I didn't think you'd stay in here"
Liam looked around his old bedroom and shrugged "Made me feel something"
She nodded and walked in, she took both of his hands "Darling, you know you're welcome here at anytime, Right? You don't have to leave…"
Liam nodded "Yeah" He cleared his throat "But with the surgery and everything coming with it… I'll need my own place" He looked at his feet "But uhh-"
He let her hands go and walked towards the set of keys, he pulled one out before he walked towards his mother
"I want you to be able to come in whenever you feel like it"
She took the key and hugged it "I-I will"
A small knock came on the door and they both turned towards it, Zayn stood there with his flannel thrown over his shoulder and he smiled
"Ready?"
Liam nodded "Yeah" He looked at his mother "Uhh, I-"
She kissed Liam's cheek then turned to Zayn "I know he can take care of himself, but help me when he believes he can't"
Zayn smiled "I will"
Liam walked towards Zayn and they walked out together, Zayn threw an arm over Liam's shoulder and wrapped a curl around his finger
"Have I ever mentioned how much I like your curls?"
Liam looked at him and put a hand on Zayn's chest "No. No you didn't"
Zayn smiled, he kissed Liam's temple and Liam smiled
"I fucking love your curls"
