Chapter 13

[A/N] Heyy!!! I'm sorry for updating so slowly!! >________< I really wish I'll have enough time to update quicker with longer chapters.

The picture on the side is kinda how I pictured Daniel to look like. I'm sorry if my drawing skills are not good. OTL But yeah. That's how I imagined Daniel to be like; in all his classiness and such. If you can't see it (cause I can't), here's the link: http://instagram.com/p/Xh0cqXqqbL/

This chapter is dedicated to KayleeJohn cause I love her and I worship the ground she walks on and I'm so happy that she updated her Narry fic. She is honestly such an amazing author and I feel so honoured that she's reading my fic!! kahdksjdlaksksl!!

[Zayn's POV]

It's been nearly three weeks since Louis had sat us boys down (not including Liam) to plan for Liam's party. Three weeks of a very stressed out Louis who was either constantly on his phone planning for the party or with Liam. A stressed Louis equals a strained band. We couldn't function properly as a band without Louis' vibrant personality and usual antics that he would get us all in trouble by.

So far Niall, Harry and I have been receiving very up to date information about this party of Liam's. It was to be held the Saturday before Liam's actual birthday, and would be a week from now. The guest list wasn't very long; a couple of close friends, the live band, some of Liam's mates and our 'other halves' as Louis liked to call it. Basically referring to Perrie, Lizzy and somehow Daniel. I have no idea how Daniel got invited as Niall's other half when they aren't even dating in the first place.

It actually kinda irks me how close they've gotten ever since they met at the restaurant through me. I felt like I've lost a bestfriend that day. Niall's hardly home anymore, and if he is he would be holed up in his room with Daniel over. And the worst part is that I somehow get the feeling that Niall has been avoiding me lately. At first it was just little things like a small hello instead of his usual hugs and laughter, but then it spiralled to a simple nod in my direction and hardly and contact between the two of us anymore.

It saddens me actually, to think that he would choose spending time with a person he's only got to know for a month compared to with us boys who've been with him since X Factor.

"Why so down, Z?" Louis's voice called out from across the kitchen. I had been staring at my half empty mug of coffee for God know's how long.

"Nothing," I sighed. "Just thinking."

"'Bout what?" he asked, sliding into the seat opposite me.

"Niall."

"Oh, is that so?" Louis cocked his eyebrow up, reaching across the table and helping himself to my coffee.

I laughed as he spat the contents back into the cup and grimaced. I've always like my coffee dark with no sugar while Louis raved over anything sweet. He has the sweetest tooth for anyone of his age that I know of. Honest.

"Goddammit, Zayn," Louis cursed. "A little sugar in this won't kill."

"I never told you to drink it," I shrugged.

"You're a little bitch you know that?"

"Mm hmm. Know it, and proud to admit it," I smirked.

"Whatever. So, you were thinking about our leprechaun?"

"Yeah," I said, and it suddenly occurred to me how weird that sounded. Like I was in love with him.

"Huh. Well what about him that's got you thinking so long and hard about?"

"It's just that he's like hardly around these days. I feel like he's distancing himself from us, you get what I mean? Like, he's always out with Daniel, and even when Daniel is over they stay up in his room and such. Doesn't it bother you that they're spending so much time together even though they're not dating?"
