Mr. Styles

Chapter 66

Liam's P.O.V.

I wasn't sure what to say to start this conversation. I know I'm not angry but I am hurt.

Zayn plopped down onto the couch and sighed. I went to speak but I couldn't get the words out. Harry cleared his throat. "Is there anything you need to tell us Zayn?"he mumbled.

I rolled my eyes. Harry better not give Zayn a hard time about this. I remember when I first came out, it was hard for me.

Zayn scratched the back of his neck and raised his eyes to meet Harry's. "I'm sure you already know since you're asking me like that." Harry raised an eyebrow. "As your best mate, I would like to hear it from your mouth."

Zayn sighed. "Niall and I have been seeing each other for a little while now."

I furrowed my eyebrows. "But what about Alex? I thought you two were a thing." Zayn shook his head, "we hung out and fucked a couple of times but we were never like a thing. She wanted more but I didn't." He ran a stressful hand through his hair. "I don't know... it's just different with Niall. We aren't official as of right now but I want us to be." I smiled as this. Zayn is so hollow inside and it's nice to see Niall spark some fire in him.

I spoke before Harry could. "I'm happy for you Zayn. But why didn't you tell us?" Zayn shrugged. "I don't know honestly. I guess I just wanted to be sure before I said anything. The way I feel about Niall... it's complicated. I really like him but this is different." I shook my head, "Zayn, feelings are complicated. That's just how it works. This is something that you don't necessarily have to figure out right now."

He nodded, "yeah I guess so."

I looked over at Harry and frowned. He seemed to be lost in thought.

"Harry," I mumbled nudging him a bit. "Everything okay?" He furrowed his eyebrows and nodded. "Um.. yeah. I guess I'm just thinking things over."

"About what?"

He laid his head back on the couch and stared up at the ceiling. "Just Elena and I. We seem to be at a stand still." He paused for a long time. "I-I just don't get how you guys are able to handle your feelings so easily. I mean Li, you and Louis are perfectly fine. Now Zayn is happy with Niall. Yet, I still feel like I'm in the same spot as I was before with Elena. I want us to be okay but I don't know what to do to fix us."

"Harry?" Zayn mumbled. "Why are you so afraid of relationships? I mean I think we all know how you feel and I'm sure Elena feels the same way. So just strap on a fucking pair and just ask her what we're all waiting for you to ask." Harry rolled his eyes. "It's not that easy Zayn. What if she changes her mind or doesn't want to be with me." I almost laughed at this. Harry rarely gets insecure but it's so funny when he does.

"Harry," I said. "Elena loves you. You know that. All you have to do is ask her."

"Yeah," Zayn said. "Everything will be fine. Plus she probably needs you right now since the baby and everything. How is she with that by the way. Is it too early to find out if it's a boy or a girl?"

My heart stopped. We forgot to tell him.

Harry didn't say anything. I could hear my heartbeat in my ears and my throat began to close. I cleared my throat and took a deep breath. "Um... she's alright. She um... well.. she lost the baby."

His eyes widened. "What do you mean?" He glanced over at Harry. "D-Did you... did you make her get rid of it?" Harry remained silent.

"Harry!" Zayn growled.

I shook my head. "Zayn it wasn't Harry's fault. Elena just wasn't able to keep it. She had a miscarriage." Zayn furrowed his eyebrows. "What... that doesn't make sense. She was fine before. She was perfectly healthy. H-How could that even happen?"

Harry shook his head. "She's malnourished... can we please just change the subject?"

Zayn shook his head. "Where is she?"

"She's upstairs..." I mumbled. "She's been upstairs for awhile actually." Zayn stood to his feet and ran his finger though his hair. "I'm gonna talk to her. I'll be right back."

"No," Harry grunted. "If I can't go up there then neither can you." Zayn rolled his eyes. "Oh grow up Harry! You can't go up there because she actually doesn't wanna be around you!" I could see the anger start to form on Harry's face. His fists balled in his lap. "Shut the fuck up Zayn!" Harry growled. "You've barely been here the entire time so you have no fucking idea what the fuck is going on!"

I went to speak but Zayn took a step closer to Harry causing Harry to stand to his feet. "I know exactly what's going on!" Zayn growled. "You fucking badgered her into getting an abortion for a baby that you didn't want without the slightest fucking consideration to how she might feel about it! The stress from you being mad at her for something that wasn't her damn fault freaked her the fuck out and caused the miscarriage!"

I had to step in.

"Okay guys," I said standing and getting in between them. "Let's not get too crazy okay. You guys really don't need to be fighting right now." Harry shook his head, "I don't want you to bother her Zayn."

Zayn rolled his eyes as he ascended the stairs. "Fuck off!"
