"All we can do is our best, and sometimes the best that we can do is to start over.”

Liam shook his head as Isaac started to hit Theo with a bottle, Dunbar trying to pull them apart, Stiles sitting criss cross, looking at them with an evil glint in his eyes and Louis laughing so hard
He would've laughed.... But he didn't feel like he had the energy to even chuckle
He went up on the stage and pulled Isaac off of Theo and hugged Isaac from behind
Liam rested his head on Isaac's shoulder and Isaac smiled
"Awww look at us, we look like a happy couple"
Liam then rolled his eyes "In your monkey dreams"

Zayn doesn't like to spend anytime with Brian, he'd make up excuses or sometimes just.... Not show up
But the ring he had on felt heavier than usual, so he went to Brian
Who gave it to him telling him its a key, Zayn didn't fucking understand
But here he was.... Standing in front of Brian and Brian was a smirking fucker
"Well.... You can't go like that"
Zayn frowned "What's wrong with what I'm wearing?"
Brian stood up and walked towards Zayn, looking at him from top to bottom
"Well.... You'll need a suit-"
"I have them in my apartment"
"Ok. That's good, we'll meet here at 7pm.... And for fuck sake take the glasses off"
~~~~~
Brian sighed rubbing his temple "You kept the glasses on"
Zayn looked at Brian and then looked out the window "I don't like contacts"
"Lasik?"
Zayn sighed "Brian, I'm not turning into a fucking bumblebee for vanity"
Brian huffed and the car came to a stop, they both got out and walked towards the door
"Ahh. Brian!!"
"Nice to see you Bram"
The man was old, flabby as well, his eyes turned to Zayn and they widened in shock
"Is this-"
"This is Zayn, my son" Brian cut in
Bram seemed to furrow his brows but slowly nodded and turned to Zayn
"It's.... Nice to finally meet you Zayn" Bram said slowly smiling "I've heard so much about you, You must make your father proud"
Zayn snorted walked in past Bram "No I don't, I'm a disappointment to him"
Zayn heard the both argue but he just walked in deeper
He was stopped by the second entrance and then showed the man by the door his ring
His eyes quickly widened and he opened the door
Zayn walked in and looked around
Until his eyes spotted Liam on a man's lap, Liam was smiling, laughing (it looked kinda forced) but he seemed to know what he was doing
Zayn was lead to a table and he sat down but kept his eyes on Liam
Quietly and slowly drinking his drink as Brian came and sat across from him and started to talk
But Zayn didn't take his eyes off of Liam, until the man stood up and they disappeared away
~~~~~
Liam winced, sitting up on his bed and rubbed his face
Dropped his head back against the headboard and sighed
He opened his phone and checked his account
Letting out a breath and smiling a weak smile
In a few hours, rent will be deducted, but he'll still have enough for other bills, such as groceries and utilities
And he does need new cooking utensils
And he needs to renew his car insurance and pay the school fee as well
He stayed quiet, calculating then nodded realising he will have a bit to spend on himself
Liam got off of his bed and stood up almost tripping when his foot got stuck on his pants
~~~~~
Louis was talking as they walked, Liam kept his books to his chest but he was almost knocked down when Isaac ran over towards him and Louis and hid behind them
"What did you do?" They both said at the same time
"ISAAC LAHEY"
Liam pursed his lips at Theo.... Who now had an eyebrow and a half
"He was asking for it"
Liam laughed shaking his head before he patted Isaac's cheek
"Time I throw you out of the nest and let you have consequence" He said walking away as Isaac held onto Louis, refusing to let him walk away
Liam left them and turned around the corner.... Only for him to get pulled into a closet
Liam frowned and turned around, the lights turned on and his eyes met Zayn's and they widened in shock
"You left out something interesting"
