Flashbacks (ZARRY AU)

PART 26

Harry told Bella what happened. He told her that Liam almost lay his hands on Harry on the restroom and that Bella decided to call the police. The past out Liam from the restroom was now held by the police and Harry was glad.

Liam's sick, Harry could tell.

Bella's event got help up because of the scene Liam has caused. Harry even apologized because somehow, he feels like it was his fault since Liam was after him

"Nonsense Harry, it wasn't your fault. Liam's the one to blame. He's obsession with you lead him to assault you...he's disgusting" Bella said as she, Harry and the other guests are now crowding outside since Bella called the police "I trusted him you know? He was the one who designed my building for my clothing line...turns out, he just wanted to get invited to my launching so he can catch you" Bella added as she looks at Harry "But now he's going to jail for a while...so don't worry" Bella gave him a smile.

Bella then look at the medical truck and saw Zayn who's seating on the edge of the open truck getting examined "You should introduce me to your man" Bella looks at Harry with a wide smile as Harry's breathing hitches "He's your hero now, huh?" Bella added and she can't stop grinning because she's fangirling.

Harry looked back to Zayn and back at Bella "He's not my hero, he's my partner...and now I know that he's got my back" Harry answered.

After Bella and Harry's conversation, Harry went to the medical truck where Zayn was waiting for him. Harry stopped when he's inches away from Zayn "Is your head okay?" He asked as he put his hand on Zayn's head, running his fingers on his hair "Yeah, I guess. But the medic said to get xray...just to make sure nothing's lose" Zayn gave a chuckle as he put his hand on Harry's waist "Harreh..." Zayn softly said, his expression slowly changes into a serious one "Yes, Zayn?"

"I wanted to say, I'm sorry" Zayn said as Harry's fingers stopped caressing Zayn's scalp.

He removed his hand atop Zayn's head and sat beside him on the truck "I'm sorry for being a coward, for being weak...." Zayn looked at his palms that's settling on his lap "I'm trying to be your 'hero' because I think that was the only thing I can be worth it for you" Zayn slowly looked at Harry's eyes "If I'm not gonna be your hero, then I'm worthless....right?" Zayn added as Harry's hand raised and put it on Zayn's cheek "You're not worthless okay? And I never, ever thought of a useless or worthless. You're Zayn....an artist, kind, warm and a man with a beautiful heart...." Harry gave a soft smile "I don't need a hero Zayn, I just need someone who's going to be there for me....who's going to be beside me all through out" Harry leaned in "I just need a partner to fight with me....and I chose you to be that Partner....My Zayn" Harry whispered as Zayn's heart beat thumps.

Zayn held Harry's free hand as he held it tight, lacing their fingers "It was wrong of me to abandon you Harry....but this time, I will stay. I will stay on your side and stay to be Your Zayn" Zayn whispered back as Harry can't help but to give out tears...tears of joy that finally Zayn realized it!

Zayn slightly moved his body away from Harry and seeing Harry's tears, he smiled and wiped his tears with his hand "I hope those are tears of joy?" Zayn said as Harry gave out a chuckle "Thank you for finally saying this. Thank you for not abandoning me...." Harry responded "Zayn, I love you...." Harry added as Zayn's entire being is in ecstasy!

He already heard Harry's I love you before but that was with doors closed but now, seeing him saying it in person and in front of Zayn, it hits differently.

Its more sweet, intimate and romantic.

Zayn leaned in and captured Harry's lips and when they've parted "I love you too Harry Styles, be my boyfriend" Zayn straightforwardly said as Harry felt happiness, love and romance. Harry's arms made its way on Zayn's waist and hugged him so tight and he squealed "YES ZAYN YES!" Harry answered as Zayn chuckled and hugged Harry back.

"I'm never abandoning you again, My Harry" Zayn's thought said and this is the promise he made for himself.
