        I used to question why Liam used to always stay with me. He never had any other friends because of me. Liam deserved so much better than me.

        Well, that's what I used to think.

        He's changed. I don't know what happened. I don't know what triggered it, but it happened.

        I thought back to when he first told me about Zayn. When he first encouraged me to talk to him. It was because of Liam that I found Zayn, but it was because of Liam that I lost my best friend. He chose to leave my side making all those "best friend for life" promises nothing but sour lies.

        "Babe, you're doing it again," Zayn said pausing the movie we, well, he had been watching.

        I looked up at him, "Doing what?"

        "Thinking about Liam."

        I sighed. Zayn knew. Actually, it seemed like Zayn knew everything really. "I'm sorry."

        "Quit apologizing to me, Harry Styles," he said softly kissing the side of my head. "It's not your fault."

        "Maybe it is," I said leaning my head on his shoulder.

        He moved to face me and took my face in his hands, "Don't ever think this is your fault. How many times do I have to tell you?"

        "But-"

        He cut me off with his lips. I hummed happily against his lips while lazily kissing back. He pulled back, "No but's."

        I giggled pressing my lips to his once again loving how they felt against mine. There was a knock on my bedroom door. "Harry!" Mum said. "Liam's here."

        "Tell him to go away," I yelled pulling Zayn closer to me. He ran is fingers through my curly hair soothingly.

        "Why?" She asked.

        Mum didn't know. "I'm busy right now!"

        "You never ask Liam to leave," she said through the door, "is everything okay?"

        "It's fine, Mum, I just want to be alone right now."

        "Zayn's in there, hun."

        I groaned, "Mum, please."

        She sighed, "Okay." I didn't know how I was going to explain to Mum that my best friend since forever is no longer my best friend. She considered him as one of her own. It hurt to think how she'd take it.

        "The nerve he has," Zayn growled as I just put my face in his neck enjoying to feeling of his fingers in my hair.

        Liam didn't stop with just showing up at my house. No, he started approaching me in school. He once tried to told to me when I went to find Zayn during lunch. I just ignored him and went on my way.

        Then he tried to talk to me during a pepperally.

        Then he tried to talk to me in the bathroom.

        Where was this Liam when Niall was insulting me and I was in the middle of having an anxiety attack?

        The bell dismissing the entire school rang making me sigh happily. Thank God it's over. I walked out of the class trying to keep a close eye for Liam. I didn't want to run into him again. 

        "Hi, Harry," I turned around and saw none other than Niall Horan. I glared at him. "Aw, don't be like that."

        "Leave me alone," I hissed.

        "I want to show you something," he said grabbing me by the arm. I struggled against his grip.

        "Let me go!" The hallway was too loud and no one payed me or Niall any attention. Fuckin' assholes.

        "Hold up, babe," he said making me grimace at the pet name, "I'll let you go after I show you this thing."

        I still struggled getting no where considering Niall was bigger and stronger than I was. He pulled me down the crowded hallway and into an empty supply closet.

Zayn POV (Oh no I didn't cx)

        I waited by my locker expecting Harry to show up in the next few minutes.

        My Harry.

        A small smile crept on my face at the thought of him. I still couldn't believe I found someone so stunning. So beautiful. So funny. So caring. So sexy. So perfect. Harry was all these things and the best part about it was that I could kiss and hold him when ever I wanted. I didn't have to hold back like I used to when he was still so shy and closed off.

        A few minutes past as I day dreamed about my boyfriend. I shook myself out of my thoughts seeing the hallway had been emptied. Where's Harry?

        Suddenly, a sharp, broken 'fuck you!' echoed through the hall grabbing my attention. That's when Liam ran around the corner..crying. I wasn't feeling an pity for him and I didn't really care what happened to him. After what he did to Harry I would happily throw him into a pit of hungry sharks if I had the chance.

        Liam looked at me with an angry, hurt expression. "Great boyfriend you've got yourself, Zayn," he all but spat at me.

        I scowled, "What are you-" My phone beeped and I fished it out of my pocket. It was a picture message from an unknown number. I opened the text and I felt my heart shatter.

        How could he?

PLEASE DON'T SHOOT ME!

Okay, I would totally understand if you did cause I haven't updated in forever and then I give you this short suspenseful chapter.

Sorry.

There was so much simple stuff happening and nothing too dramatic and what you're about to find out is dramatic. There's more to it than you're assuming. (I will be posting quicker updates because my writer's block is GONE! YAY)

Anyway, love you guys and I just want to say something. I was going through the older chapters and I was just looking at my older author's notes and I saw in one of them that said "I've almost got 2,000 reads" and I thought like holy crap now I have 21,000 reads! It's unbelievable! Thank you guys so much!! It means the world to me!! :D
