Zayn woke to his phone ringing annoyingly in his ear. He reached for it and sleepily denied the call, but it hardly took 30 seconds for it to be ringing again. Annoyed, he sat up groggily and hit the answer button.
"What could possibly be so important that you had to wake me up so desperately?" He snapped. He had been having a good sleep, better than he had gotten in a very long time. Why did the caller have to wake him up? He was on break, there was no valid point behind it. There were no obligations for him, and he wished the caller would relized that.
"Zayn!" The voice sounded overjoyed and Zayn was quickly able to identify it as Louis'. "Don't hang up please." He begged. Zayn obliged, holding his phine to his ear, though he would be lying if he said he wasn't tempted to hang up on Louis.
"What do you want?" He asked, his voice relatively calmer now. He figured if he was already awake and functioning, there was no real reason t make a fuss. There was nothing to be done now.
"Where are you mate? Nialls worried You cheated on him." Louis was probably lying, and Zayn knew that full well. There was no way Niall would bring up anything about anyone cheating in front of Liam after what had no doubt happened last night. Louis was almost definiatly lying, But for somw reason, Zayn couldn't find it in himself to care.
"You know what Louis? I'll take the blame for this breakup. It was inevitable. You can tell Niall I went to a bar and found myself a girl, and that Liam can have him. I will gladly take the responsibility for this breakup, even if it wasn't my fault." Zayn ranted at Louis, his voice incredably calm for the content of his rant. In fact, Zayn found himself relieved to have some distance from Niall, to not have to be so painfully close without a chance.
"Um...Mate?" Louis sounded rather hesitant. "You're kind of on speaker."
Zayn laughed suddenly, knowing that everyone could hear him. "All the better. Niall, sorry for any inconvenience, but we really aren't working out."
"I was thinking just the same thing." Niall laughed, and though the words pained Zayn, and pained him a lot, he let Niall say them. Because he was tired of the entire cycle, tired of Niall not wanting him, not wanting what was right in front of him. He was tired of Niall being so thick and just not getting it. He was tired of being in love. He was just tired of it all, and it Was honestly a relief to break away from his situation, even if it meant shattering his heart in the process. It wasn't likely here was much left to shatter after this long.
"Then Niall, I suppose we are over. Can I go back to sleep now?" Zayn really had no interest in returning to the land of his dreams, but he knew that this conversation would last a long time if he didn't dismiss them and he wasn't sure how much of Nialls voice je could put up with after breaking up with the boy he was so desperately in love with.
"Yeah sure." Louis conceded, knowing Zayn needed some time alone. "Good luck with that girl."
Zayn smiled bitterly. "Thanks mate." He hung up as soon as the words were out of his mouth, setting the phone down on the cot next to him and rubbing the sleep away from his eyes. He was startled into jumping when the trapdoor in the floor opened, Kendalls head poking through.
"I didn't know if you'd still be here, But I brought you a surprise. Come down and see." She commanded, before disappearing down to the ground once more. Zayn followed without hesitation, climbing down after her. The same car from the night before was parked in the clearing, and waiting inside was the cutest little boy Zayn had ever seen. He grinned widely as Kendall picked up the kid and brought him over.
"Zayn, meet Noah." She introduced the two, setting Noah on the ground. He almost instantly stumbled over to Zayn, grabbing onto his leg in an almost hug.
