The line

Talk

In less than five minutes Zayn knocks on the door and enters immediately*

Louis: You're so freaking stupid. 

Zayn: I know sorry I forgot you can't come.

*Zayn looks at him and sees tears on his cheek but his look is numb*

Zayn: why so sudden? 

Louis: hm?

Zayn: why did they decide to do it out of nowhere? 

Louis: why would they wait if he has the location they are at?

Zayn: true.

Louis: mhm

Zayn: he'll come.

Louis: Ema called him papa… and he didn't hear it yet.

Zayn: shit. He will 

Louis: if he doesn't? 

Zayn: did you tell him?

Louis: I couldn't… it would've broken his heart… 

Zayn: yeah… um how's your leg?

Louis: it's there. 

Zayn: does it hurt?

Louis: I don't know Zayn, stab your ankle with twenty knives and see how it is yourself. 

Zayn: sorry.

Louis: I don't care man… 

Zayn: how long should it last?

Louis: I don't know… I guess not more than three hours max… 

Zayn: is it hard?

Louis: hard what?

Zayn: not being able to leave.

Louis: it's torturing 

Zayn: he loves you, a lot.

Louis: I love him too…

Zayn: I met someone 

Louis: who on earth would stand you?

Zayn laughs: it's part of Harry's team… Liam. 

Louis: oh I met that lad. He's a good one, don't be stupid and ruin him too.

Zayn: I won't. I won't make the same mistake. 

Louis: do you even know what mistake you made in the first place?

Zayn: I didn't care. About the way he's feeling I thought because he's an officer he's strong, I was a shit.

Louis: aww look at you finally saying something very true.

Zayn giggles: what do you want us to do? Sit in silence or talk.

*Louis shrugs and looks at Zayn. Zayn looks at him and for the first time he sees him defeated, powerless, scared, terrified even, teary eyes, he looks at him and all he can think of is that Harry can't die. Louis looks away and crosses his arms to his chest. Louis stares at the wall in front of him and feels his hands starting to shake. He shakes his head*

Louis: talk. Tell me something. 

Zayn: what do you want me to tell you?

Louis: anything I'm losing myself and I swear to God Zayn once I do, I will leave this house without giving a shit. Tell me about Liam or whatever. H-how did you meet?

Zayn: um we met at your trial and he was very open-minded and all… we went to a coffee shop after your trial and then we went home. 

Louis: hm?
