Over Again

Chapter 8

Harry's P.O.V.

 

                I looked to Louis facing me, lying on the bed right next to me, his face seeming emotionless. I gave him a small smile which came out weaker than I expected. "You do know that the boys already suspected us?" I said. "That's the reason we broke up!" He yelled. I stared in a surprised shock. "I'm sorry, I just really....."

                "You still know I'm over it. You know I still love you" We both stare at each other. "Yeah I know, I also love you but I can't." "You're lucky, I love you too much to ask further, I'll respect your wishes. But this doesn't mean I'll stop being your best friend." He chuckled playfully, ran his hands in my hair and ruined my hairdo in the process. "Alright Boo."

                He leaned in and placed a peck on my cheek. He smiled and I returned the response.

                I also leaned towards him to kiss him on the forehead when we heard Zayn shouting. "The peace is broken." Louis joked but I pinched him giving him a smirk.

                Afterwards we heard Zayn stomp away and heard Liam calling after him. Coming next was someone took a car which we assumed was Zayn. We went to peek through the door and Liam saw us.

                 We saw him looking into Zayn's room with a blank expression, like he was unsure what emotion to show.  "What did you do Liam?" I heard Louis speak from behind me. We both waited and Liam responded. "Nothing, Zayn just..." he trailed off. I was really anxious and couldn't wait "Just?" I mimicked. "Nothing, everything's fine. Just go back to sleep." Looking away and shrugged. He didn't want to tell. Maybe it has something to do with him spending so much time with Zayn. Liam went into his room and closed the door roughly.

                Louis and I looked at each other. I saw the same look of confusion on his face as me. He shrugged and so did I. We gave up and went back in our room. I closed my door slowly.

We went to sleep afterwards not wanting to overthink whatever happened tonight.

I woke really early, like it was still dark. I looked at my watch and it was still 3:30 a.m. I tried to go back to sleep but something was really bothering me. I didn't know what. I slid out of bed carefully not wanting to wake a snoring Louis. I went out of the room and checked on the boys' rooms. First Liam's, he was quiet. I quietly closed the door not wanting to wake him since he would be up by 4 for his jog. Next I looked into Zayn's and Niall. Niall was sleeping peaceful but Zayn wasn't in. Maybe he was in the kitchen. As I went downstairs and into an empty kitchen a thought of worry came in. Okay, his not here. Maybe in the bathroom?

I checked on all three bathrooms. There was one near the stairs, another by the kitchen and one near the master bedroom. To my surprise they were all empty. I started to get cold chills... Where is Zayn? Don't tell me he hasn't come home after he left?

Not wanting to bother the people still sleeping, I got my phone and dialed Zayn's number. After a few rings, it went to voice mail. I tried again and same result. After a few attempts I just left him a message, "Zayn Javadd Malik, where are you? I'm getting worried please call back immediately."

After that I just sat down on the couch waiting for a reply.

~after 1 hour

               

                Okay now I'm really worried. My feet were shaking uncontrollably. I was could my heart beating. I feel my asthma acting up. I was biting my lip out of anticipation.

                "Where is He!?" After one hour of waiting, I snapped.

                Someone coughed behind me to get my attention. "Who are you looking for?" Doniya and Tricia walked down the stairs followed by Safah, Niall and Louis, like they were queued to enter the scene. Louis gave a smile and a wave which I returned.

                They waited for me to respond, which I forgot. "Oh sorry, Yeah Zayn hasn't come back since last night." "Really? I didn't even notice he left. Did you try to contact him?" Tricia said as her motherly instincts stepped in.

                "Yes, I have for 1 hour now. I went around and noticed he wasn't in the house. So I started to panic." I replied swiftly, which is out-of-character for me.

                "Calm down. Zayn can take care of himself." Doniya stated calmly. "Let's just go around down town to search for him." Grabbing her car keys Doniya opened the door and stood there for about a minute.

                "Is everything okay?" I questioned. Doniya just looked around and stepped aside.

Zayn was on the doorstep we all froze at what we saw.

"Oh hey guys. Where are you going? Why are you all standing there?" We heard Liam's voice but still shocked we couldn't respond. Well if you're all gonna stand there, I'm gonna go for my jog." I heard footsteps on the stairs which I assumed was Liam said walking down the staircase. "Well I'm o.." Liam finally saw what we were looking at.
