Parallel (Ziall Story AU)

Chapter 15

Niall's POV.

I stood awkwardly as I watched Zayn hand Liam a white rose.

I wasn't really sure of what was going on, but Liam looked terrible...

Then I noticed that Zayn was coming my way, so I straightened my back a bit and kept my focus on him.

Zayn managed to get a hold of my shoulder, he looked very worn out. What the hell happened with these two?

''You good?...'' I asked Zayn.

''Y-Yeah... We better go though... I just... Need to go somehwere else...'' He said shaking his head.

I shifted my position awkwardly. I quietly began to speak. ''Hey, we need to talk. I th-'' Zayn didn't let me finish my sentence.

''Yeah, yeah. Can we do that somewhere else though? Please?'' He asked impatiently.

He looked like he was in such a hurry to get away from this place.

''Uh, sure, I guess... Where do you want to go?'' I asked.

Suddenly, Zayn grabbed my arm and started to forcefully walk me in the opposite direction with him.

I wanted to protest and let go, but something inside told me that he had to get out of here.

Before walking any further I decided to glance back, only to find Liam staring at us from a distance. He then dissapeared out of my sight. I turned my head back and looked at Zayn, he had a very gloomy look on his face...

I was very confused and unsure about this situation...

After what seemed like forever, Zayn and I were finally out of the park. As we were walking down the street he let go of my arm and let out a loud sigh.

''I'm sorry about this. I just had to get out of there. An-''

''Zayn, what happened.'' I asked bluntly.

Zayn looked down and then back up to me. ''It's Liam...'' He answered.

I scoffed. ''I know it's Liam. I'm asking what happened between you and him though.''

Zayn shook his head. ''It's just... complicated...''

I rolled my eyes, I tightly grabbed Zayn's arms and shook them.

''Snap out of it!'' I cried. ''Zayn, you isolated me... I'm sorry about everything, alright? I admit it, it was my fault. I was confused! I kissed you and then ditched you, I gave you mixed feelings. Hell, I even broke your best friend's nose! I admit it! I did wrong! And I'm sorry. But I'm still here because I want to help you. I am covered in mud, and I am still willing to help you, why? Because I care about you.''

Zayn remained silent.

I scoffed and held my ruined bag of clothing up to look at it. ''Well, this is tragic.'' I said to myself as I looked at the bag with dripping mud.

Zayn chuckled a bit. When I saw his smile my mood suddenly brightened up.

"I'm sorry about that, Niall..." Zayn spoke.

"Oh it's all good! It wasn't your fault. I'll just wash this and it'll be as good as new-"

"Not that- Well yes, I'm sorry about your clothes, but I was talking about the whole... Liam thing..." Zayn said awkwardly.

"Oh... Well, if only I knew what happened I could give you my opinion about it..." I said.

Zayn finally decided to open up to me. ''Liam declared his feelings to me...''

Holy shit, so that's what happened... I patiently waited for Zayn to continue.

He was looking down, recalling the past event. ''It was horrible, Niall... I felt alone and vulnerable, but at the same time... I felt... Guilty.'' He admitted.

''Guilty? Why? If you don't like him then you don't like him! That's no one's fault.'' I stated.

Zayn shook his head. ''Niall, you wouldn't understand... We've been through a lot. And to be honest... I always knew!, I just didn't want to admit that to myself, I kept him as my friend even though I knew he still had feelings for me. I was selfish. I just wanted a true friend. Liam was the only one who really listened to me...I didn't want to be alone. But now I guess I am...'' He said as he began to scratch the back of his head. ''I don't want to sound rude or anything! But ever since you moved here it seems like everything turned upside down! It's so weird...'' Zayn exclaimed.

I sneered. ''Well, if it helps, ever since I moved here my life hasn't been the same too. Literally.'' I said.

It wasn't only the fact that I travelled from another dimension the reason my life turned upside down. I've also discovered a lot of things about myself and other people that I'm very close to...

Zayn interrupted me from my thoughts. "Hey, man... I didn't mean it like that. You being here also made me realize a lot of stuff that I should've a long time ago, a lot of good stuff..." He said.

I glanced up at him. "Oh yeah? How so?" I asked.

Zayn gazed at me. He slowly lifted his hand up and began to caress my cheek.

I flinched at his touched as I begun to feel my blood rushing up to my face.

"Y-You suddenly just changed me-- Made my life more interesting..." Zayn whispered to me and chuckled after.

I stared at his beautiful face, maintaining the gaze we were having.

I placed my hand on top of Zayn's hand that was holding my cheek. ''Really? Well, I guess I could say the same thing about you, Zaynie.'' I grinned.

Zayn laughed. ''Oh! You already gave me a nickname huh, Nialler?!'' He exclaimed as he purposefully got closer to my face.

I smiled. ''Yeah, I did. What'chu gonna do about it?'' I raised my eyebrows.

Zayn looked down at my lips. ''I don't know... Maybe, you won't go off running after this?"

"Wha-"

Before I could finish talking, Zayn smashed his lips onto mine. He placed both his hands on my cheeks and began to breathe faster. Surprised, I tensed up and had my eyes wide open. Zayn began to open his mouth and leaned me back as he put a hand on my back. I slowly began to open my mouth to let him in.

I was making out with my bandmate. Zayn Malik. I still couldn't believe it. And... I loved it.
