*********************************************************

Niall's POV

I woke up the next morning feeling oddly tired. I couldn't open my eyes it was like they weighed a ton. Suddenly I felt someone's arm around me. I finally had the motivation to open my eyes to see who it was.

Zayn. There asleep in my bed and we were both only in boxers. I started to remember what happened last night and a smiled plastered itself onto my face. I got up carefully and went to the bathroom to freshen up and brush my teeth. When I came back, Zayn was still asleep. He was amazing and I couldn't help but stare at him when a voice suddenly interrupted my thoughts.

"Feel free to touch" Zayn said jokingly, his eyes open with a lazy smile on his face.

"Maybe tonight" I said smirking at him as he sat himself up. He grinned at me in return.

I started to get dress and Zayn sat there staring at me as I dressed myself. Just then we heard a knock at the door. We both froze and I heard a shuffle on the bed. I turned around to see that Zayn was nowhere in sight. I took that as a sign to open the door and see who was there. I wasn't finished dressing so I had on my pants and no shirt.

I opened the door and saw Harry standing there. My body went tense. I think Harry noticed too because he shot me a concerned look.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" He asked and I can hear sorrow in his voice. It always made me cry when Harry cried.

"Uh..sure mate. What's wrong?" I asked feeling so bad for Harry that it made me want to break down and cry.

Harry stepped into the room and sat on the bed. My heart was beating so loud that I was afraid that Harry might've heard it. Where did Zayn go? Where was he hiding? I soon dropped the thought after a while finding it a bit dangerous for Zayn to come out of nowhere in his boxers while I was half dressed.

"Lou and I haven't spoken for days now. I am going insane now and he doesn't even know it. I want to apologize but I know he hates me. I am hurting really badly Ni! I need someone. I need back one of my best mate. I need Louis." He said, letting himself go of all he felt at the moment.

"If you want me to, then I'll talk to him. I really don't like seeing you like this Haz. I'll try my best to talk to him" I said smiling. Just then there was a thump under my bed and I stiffened. Harry turned around asking me what that sound was. Zayn. I lied simply saying that i hit my heel on the bed to which he easily believed.

Harry then thanked me and got up, leaving the room. He gave me a weak smile to which i returned with a don't-worry-everything-will-be-fine expression. He nodded and left the room, shutting the door silently.

Just then, Zayn crawled out from beneath my bed and I laughed at him. He was dusty and dirty. I walked over to him and started to slowly drag my hands across his beautifully toned body, removing some of the dust from his chest and stomach. He looked at me and smiled. He raised his hands up to cup my cheeks. I started to feel my cheeks tingle with heat at his touch.

He leaned in closer and and was about to kiss me when i head the door open. Zayn shot away from me avoiding contact with whoever was at the door. I was scared to look at whoever's disappointed face was standing at the door. After about five awkward seconds I eventually looked up, not expecting a smiling Liam James Payne at the door. He closed it gently and smirked at us both.

"You both really hit it off didn't you." He said more as a statement than a question and I couldn't help but blush. "So are you two an item?" He asked, now whispering his voice so low that even though we were both no farther that three meters, I still barely heard him. At that I looked at Zayn who looked really nervous.
