her, her, her
"He's... seeing her again?" Niall asks, barely able to comprehend the situation
"Yeah. He called, all giddy and shit, and told me she 'saved him' or something" Zayn informs as he pulls his t-shirt on over his head.
"Harry! Love, c'mere" Niall yells for his boyfriend but it's still heard over Zayn's phone speaker
Zayn grabs his phone from the bed and, as he slips his shoes on, puts it up to his ear to hear better
"Yeah, Beth is back.. yeah, that's the girl Liam's all hung up on.. uh huh.. okay, love you" The quiet conversation ended with a short kissing noise and Zayn smiled a little. He's happy for the two boys.
Niall's voice came back through the phone, loud as ever, as he asked "You done getting ready, Z? We've gotta go talk to him!"
"Yeah, just got my shoes on.."
"Took you long enough" Niall (jokingly) challenges
"Well, you had to kiss Harry before we could even leave! Yes, I heard that" Zayn laughs out
"Oh, hush.." Zayn can't see, obviously, but Niall's face is beat red as he says this lame comeback..
Zayn drives over to Niall's and picks him up.. and Niall, of course, kissing Harry one last time on the porch before running out to the car. As soon as he's in, he says "Don't say a word" and Zayn just keeps his playful, teasing smile on his lips as he waves at Harry through the windshield then drives off.
The two get to Liam's house.. and are literally beyond shocked when they see her car in his driveway. Zayn got the call from Liam maybe 4 hours ago.. and he had to get up and actually get ready and eat and Niall did too and it's not even been a full day BUT SHE'S THERE ALREADY
They hurry up to the front door but both stop before they open it
"What if... they're f-fucking? I don't wanna see that." Niall sputters out, obviously worried
"Whatever, I don't either.. but d'you really think they'd be fucking already? It's been four hours." Zayn says as he reaches towards the wooden door
"Wait! Should we knock or just open it?" Niall asks quickly
Zayn thinks for a second then he sighs and says "I'm gonna peak through the window.. I really hope they're not fucking. I don't wanna walk in on that or interrupt it.. so.."
Zayn awkwardly steps off the porch and goes over to the, just barely taller than him, window that looks into the living room.
He stands on his tippy toes and pokes his head up just enough to be able to peak in.. and he sees Liam and her, both having a cup of tea, a space away from each other on the couch, talking and smiling..
And Liam looks happier than he has in quite a while..
"What do you see?" The, very much so, shorter boy asks from right next to the taller one.
Zayn gets off his toes and smiles a little.
"Let's get in the car and we'll come back later." He says with a soft smile
Niall furrows his eyebrows together and says "Wait! What?! Are they fucking?"
"No.. actually, they seem to be having a nice conversation." Zayn says as he takes Niall's arm gently and starts leading him back towards their car
Liam happens to look up, just for a second, and out the window.. and he sees his two closest friends getting in Zayn's car and he's thoroughly confused.
"Uh, just one second. Be right back!" He rushes out as he sets his tea down and goes sprinting towards his front door..
