**nialls pov**

For about a week, I never heard a word from Bella. I wouldn't say that that's good, but I wouldn't say it's bad either.

Also during that week, I've been trying to figure out what's going with Zayn. He isn't talking to me. He's been giving me the silent treatment for a week.

I've came up with 3 conclusions as to why he's doing this.

1. He's still upset about the Bella thing.

2. Louis told him so type of bullshit. (Which I highly doubt)

3. Or I actually did screw up, and didn't realise it.

But now that I actually think about it. I feel like I'm making this all about me. It could be family problems. But wouldn't he tell me that? I don't know.

I've tried talking to him, texting him, writing to him, nothing works. Speaking of texting, he hasn't even been on his phone either. He hears the notifications but doesn't look at them.

I don't want to force it out of him but, as of now, it's my only option.

Right now, Zayn is sitting on the couch,
watching TV, his knees bought close to his chest, as his chin lies on top of his knees. It's kind of adorable honestly.

I walk in, and sit next to him. He doesn't pay any attention to me as I sit. I take a deep breath. "Zayn?" I question. He doesn't move, just sits there, staring at the TV.

"I guess you can just listen I guess.. I don't know if it's me your upset with or if it's family problems but, ignoring me and avoiding me, isn't helping. I can understand if you tell me you need time alone. Zayn, I'm worried about you. I'm sorry if it was me." I finish.

"You don't even know what you did." Zayn mumbles. Hearing his voice broke me. You can tell he hadn't spoken in weeks. His voice is shaky, scared, worried.

"So it was? I did something wrong? Can you tell me?" I ask. He rolls his eyes. "Niall your so clueless." He says. He gets up and exits the house, slamming the door. Clueless? Is it that obvious?

The time I need Harry and Louis, they're over at they're grandparents house. I took them over there because I thought I could get some time alone with Zayn. Turns out, he wants the time to be alone within himself.

I go outside and see Zayn sitting on the bottom step. I walk a little closer and lean against the frame of the doorway. "Zayn, I'm sorry I'm so clueless. But I don't know what I did." I complain. "Can I please be alone?" He mumbles. "Zayn, you've had seven days to be 'alone'. Your avoiding Louis and Harry too. All we want to do is be here for you."

"Well maybe you've done enough, yeah? You don't need me. Harry doesn't need me. Louis doesn't need me. No one needs me Niall." He growls. "Where is all this coming from Zayn?" I ask. "Don't play stupid with me Horan." He says, getting up, and stepping closer to me. He puts his fist up, like he's going to punch me. I flinch as he punches my jaw I.

He steps away as he realises what he did. "Niall I'm so sorry!" He apologises. I fall to the ground while holding my jaw. He bends down and looks at me. I squeeze my eyes shut at the pain. "Niall I.. I didn't mean to." He says. I don't say anything. I remove my hand and see blood dripping from my mouth. "Open your mouth Ni." Zayn says. I do as I'm told.

He looks inside and his eyes go wide as he spots it but tries to act like I didn't see it. "I think I broke your tooth.." Zayn mumbles. I
moan in pain, grabbing onto my jaw again. "Niall.. C'mere." Zayn says. He picks me up bridal style and walks me to my car, putting me in the passenger seat.

He buckles me in, and gets in on the driver side. My jaw hurts so much. I can't believe he punched me like that. Now he's trying to apologise? What happened to: "I'd never hurt you."? Bullshit right? I bet so.
