Take it off

Liam was about to walk outside when a man walked towards him

"Liam Payne?"

Liam blinked "Who's asking?"

He smiled, the scar going through his cheek creasing "A friend... I was surprised when I saw you were still here"

Liam stepped back "Give me proof that you really are a friend"

Said man, put his hands inside his pocket, he pulled out a Polaroid photo of him, Louis and Zayn

And then gave Liam a sticky note, Zayn's hand writing was as clear as day in it

Liam's heart lodged in his throat, and he looked at the man, as much as he want to rush with him, he stopped himself

"How do I know you aren't friends with a calligraphy master?"

He shrugged, then gave Liam a device "Whether you believe me or you don't. It's your choice, but I honestly did expect you to be gone by now"

Liam furrowed his brows "He never talked about you"

He shrugged "I'm the type of friend who nobody talks about... Plus, It would be weird if I go around telling people I met Zayn Malik in therapy and we went to gun training together" He said as he walked away

Liam blinked, he looked at the devoice then at the man again, but he was gone

Liam shook his head and stuffed the device into his pocket and walked away

Zayn blinked then sighed "Louis"

Louis breathed heavily and nodded "Yeah?"

"Stop it"

Esther and Zack looked at Zayn "Aw, give us what we want and we'll stop"

Zayn bonked the back of Louis' head with his own "Stop"

Louis sighed "Fine"

Esther and Zack's smiles fell "What?"

Louis smiled "Oh, right, sorry" He cleared his throat

"I don't feel pain" He said attempting to do Jazz hands but failing "Now this is disappointing"

Zack's jaw dropped "No, it can't be, you-"

Esther frantically shook her head "No way!! You have been screaming and begging and-" She shook her head "You're lying"

Louis pouted and rested his head on Zayn's shoulder "It would've been fun if we let it continue"

Zayn rolled his eyes "Like in in the mood for that"

Louis bonked the back 9f of Zayn's head with his own "I need fun in my life"

Zayn bonked Louis' head "And I need my ears"

"You can pay for new ones"
