Liam's POV:

Niall, Louis and Harry come home today. Zayn is really stressed about it.

These past few months, neither of us have really been in contact with Louis or Harry. Niall's been talking to us daily, telling us where they are, how it's going, what they're doing. We would be completely disconnected from them if it wasn't for Niall. But, of course, Niall is pretty much our best friend now so we'd talk to him anyway.

Louis' birthday was the last time Zayn messaged Louis, and Louis never even messaged back, so Zayn thinks Louis hates him. I've assured him he won't because they've been through too much together, but even I'm not 100% certain. I'm not even sure how he feels about me. We haven't spoken since before he left, in the beginning of December. Its March now.

Since they've all been gone, Zayn and I have had lots of time to ourselves. It's nice, but weird. Zayn's always been so preoccupied with Louis' needs that we never have time to be alone. Now all we get is alone time, and it can get boring. We work obviously, but we'd do that anyway. So, to say the least, having the boys back will be...interesting.

Zayn's currently getting dressed for the day. We have no idea what time they're going to be arriving, but Niall said he'd keep us updated.

"Liam, where's my black t shirt?" Zayn calls from our bedroom.

"Which one?" I call back, walking towards the room, from the kitchen.

"Found it" Zayn says after a bit of shuffling around.

"Stop stressing so much" I tell him, going to sit down on the bed while he changes his t shirt.

"How can I not stress? I haven't talked to Louis in months" Zayn huffs, shoving the material over his head. Surprisingly, he doesn't seem to care about his hair at this moment.

"He's your best friend" I say. Zayn frowns and takes his shorts off, then walks over to the wardrobe (I assume to get some jeans).

"Was my best friend" Zayn huffs as he looks through his clothes.

"And still is. You had an argument. You both know that you're going to get over it" I tell him. "It may be awkward, but you've been glued together for too many years to fall apart now."

"Ok, just stop talking about it now. We'll see what happens when he gets here" Zayn says quickly, trying to shut me up. He then chucks his jeans behind him and they land on my lap. He quickly snatches them up and jumps into them. "When are they coming?"

"I don't know, Niall says he'll tell us when they've landed. Then they should be about 20 minutes from then" I tell him with a shrug. Zayn nods and relaxes a little...until my phone dings.

Niall: just landed!!! see you soon :)

"Just landed" I say, hesitant to see how Zayn reacts.
