Doom At Your Service: A Haylor AU

Chapter 25: I Might Do Something I'll Regret

"I'm gonna pack my things and leave you behind

This feeling's old and I know

That I've made up my mind

I hope you feel what I felt

When you shattered my soul

'Cause you were cool and I'm a fool

So please let me go."

Taylor's POV

"Taylor." He called my name, which I've never heard come out from him. I drop my hand and stopped the call, looking at him wide-eyed. The ringing noise stopped too which was highly coincidental.

"How do you know my name?"

"Who are you?" He asked me, dodging the question.

"Then, who are you?"

Thee both of us stare at each other, not saying a word. With a spark of curiosity, I wanted to talk to him more, but I don't know how to initiate it. What should I say? Are you Harry? Are you someone important to me? Do I know you?

We're literally strangers. Why would I ask stupid things?

"It's cold tonight. Why did she leave? She could catch a cold. Goodness." The voice of my auntie was echoing through the halls, nearing the two of us. I desperately didn't want her to see me yet. She'll send me back to the room.

So I did what I had to do.

I dragged Doom by the arm back inside the elevator and pressed the ground floor button as fast as possible.

The doors closed shut quickly and thankfully enough I saw my auntie pass by, but she didn't see me. "What was that about?" Doom questions me as I sighed in relief.

"My auntie. If she sees us, things will get complicated. If we want to talk, I can't let her catch us."

"Talk about what?"

"Aren't you here because you wanted to talk to me? I doubt that you came back because you missed me since we just saw each other. And why did you ask me who I was? You even know my name."

"Then what about your question? You asked me who I was too, even though I explained to you who I am and what I do."

"I don't know. Something feels weird."

He nods in agreement, but then presses another floor. Basement floor 2. "Where are we going?" I ask him in confusion. I thought we were going to the ground floor.

"The parking lot. This will be a long conversation."

Good point.

Zayn's POV

Coincidentally after Gigi dropped Joe off, I was there when it occurred. As soon as Joe saw me there on the sidewalk he had this cold look on his face and before I knew it, I'm having this awkward conversation at those benches you see outside.

The warm streetlights were the only comforting thing there is here. It felt so tense.

"I need to ask you something." He finally said something.
