Forever In Their World [Sequel]

Jaylee's POV

"Are you serious?" Zayn spoke as he retracted his hands from his hair.

"I know. It seems like I can never escape Louis these days." I said in a monotone as I looked down at the floor.

"Why does he always do this? I swear it's like a game to him. He just loves having you to himself. I don't understand why we can't be alone together." Zayn replied in frustration.

"He probably thinks we'd run away together." I commented sarcastically, causing a small chuckle to escape my mouth.

Zayn looked over at me before a small smile crept to his lips, taking a break from the stress.

"Yeah right." Zayn chuckled as he waltzed over towards me and sat on the mattress.

"Well why not." I spoke softly as our eyes met.

"You would actually run away with me?" Zayn questioned genuinely as he leaned in.

"I mean... if I was given the opportunity I would." I shrugged as I pondered over it.

"But not romantically of course.... Just like... for a reason to escape." Zayn responded as he looked at me cautiously.

I shrugged again as my cheeks began to heat up, not really knowing the answer myself. Although I didn't view Zayn in a romantic manner, I did really have a fond of him.

"So why would Louis get mad?" Zayn asked, trying to change the conversation.

"Probably thinks I would somehow use you to escape . Which, I wouldn't ever do. You've been too much of a good friend to do that to." I replied as I looked down at my feet.

"I'm not exactly... the greatest friend." Zayn sighed as he looked guilty.

"But you've been everything I've needed. You've been there for me when times were difficult. That's something no one else was willing to do in this house." I said truthfully as our eyes met.

"I'm sure Niall would of-"

"Niall hasn't done much for me since the whole fight. I know he was kind to me but he can hardly look at me anymore. I don't know why." I cut him off as he looked down.

"You were the only one trying to apologize and be my friend again. You tried to help me get my freedom back. You're a really great friend Zayn." I said as his eyes slowly trailed towards mine.

"I would do anything for you." He smiled as his hand cupped my cheek ever so gently.

I leaned into his hand as I smiled back, feeling his warmth greet my skin.

"I know you would." I whispered as I blinked up at him.

Next day:

"Niall you got the blow torches?" Liam asked as he shoved a couple more guns into his duffle bag.

"Yep. They're already in the car." Niall responded as he paced around the house, grabbing things that he needed.

"Blow torches? What the heck are you guys doing?" I asked as I sat at the dinning table.

"None of your business Jaylee. You guys got everything you need?" Louis hissed at me as his arms were crossed.

I gave him a look before I continued with my breakfast, keeping my eyes focused on the guys moving around so swiftly.

"Yeah we're set. I think Zayn is bringing the earpieces." Liam nodded as he shoved a few grenades inside the bag.

"You should put a whole army tank in there while you're at it." I commented before chewing on some turkey bacon.
