Back for Me

CH5 Harry?

Sunday (Zayn’s POV) {Day of the Auction}

 I Woke up under the same bridge as usual, I have to admit it was getting old and it felt so dirty that I was glad I would be able to leave for a little while today, but I didn’t like the  fact that I wasn’t going to shower. I had only showered once since the band split up and that was because the couple that I gave the watch to told a friend of theirs to come get me and take me to a hotel to clean up if I wanted, which I did. But that had been almost a week ago now I felt so dirty again and I doubt I’ll be able to get cleaned up before the auction.

I arrived at the auction early just in case they needed me to do anything else maybe I’d sign a few autographs, (not that anyone wants an autograph from the boy who caused the breakup of One Direction) as I’m walking down the hall I hear someone call my name I turn only to find Harry standing there. I don’t know why I panicked and I didn’t realize how my body reacted but I found myself running away from him. I ran as fast as I could my mind finally caught up to my body and I realized I was running because I was scared last time I talked to Harry I at him before I hung up and he didn’t even know the reason behind it. I ran into a dead end I was at the end of a hallway with nowhere to go so I sank to my knees defeated and I waited for Harry to catch up.

I felt harry just standing there I could picture him screaming at me for being a bad friend actually I was waiting for him to tell me what a bad friend I was, but instead I felt him sit next to me and hug me.

He sighed “you know Zayn you need to stop running from your problems, I know how this goes and they always catch up with you and then everything is ten times worse.” I was about to interrupt him when he stopped me “no Zayn listen to me I’m here as a friend I’m here to support you I know you didn’t give that watch to them to try to symbolize anything you did it because it was a good deed and I’m so glad you did that! Be honest we all let the fame and the money get to us and you giving away that watch woke us up it was our wakeup call, we are all so thank full to you we really love you and thank you for reminding us that it’s not always about us that sometimes other people come first! And you’re right Zayn that watch was a stupid gift with no sentimental value and just to show you that I support you I have added my watch to the auction as well.”

“So have we” Liam Niall and even Louis were now standing in front of me.

I was speechless I didn’t know how to react I was so glad they came I was glad that they weren’t mad at me anymore, or at least I hoped they weren’t.

“Hey lads, do you think I could talk to him alone?” said Lou

All of the other lads left. I just stood there not sure what to expect, I mean Louis was the one that took it the hardest and from the bits and pieces I heard throughout the past week he was the one that took the watch incident the hardest.

“Listen Zayn I know I have acted like a complete and utter asshole to you but I was hurt it felt like I was losing my family! I just couldn’t control my emotions and I’m sorry. I also don’t know how much you heard about my reaction to the watch incident but harry called a dudes meeting and he has never called one before so we knew it was important. He explained to us the why you gave the watch and told us that he felt like the biggest asshole around for even thinking you would give it away out of spite.” With a chuckle he stated “you should have seen us it was a sob fest!” he became serious again ”see Zayn we were all wrong we all saw you were hurting but none of us did anything to help we all just assumed that because you are so in touch with yourself because you are so calm and collected all the time you would be fine we just assumed it was nothing the all mighty Zayn couldn’t handle and I’m sorry for that I really do love you, you’re my family Zayn I’m sorry for not being there and I’m sorry for thinking the worst about you”
