I Won't Tell -Zayn Malik Au-

Chapter Forty Two

~Zayn Pov ~

"Zayn you coming?"

I hear Liam called from inside the foyer. "Yeah," I called, shrugging on my jacket, emitting a huge sigh. I'm going back to my house and I'm hoping i don't have to come face to face with my fath- well, Yaser again. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind staying over at Liam's or crash at my girlfriend's.

The honk of the horn letting me know Liam's already in the passenger side waiting on me outside, so i opened the front door and shutting it behind me. I almost killed Liam with my glare. I got into my driver side, shutting the door and putting on my seat belt. It was quiet between us maybe we both know I wanted it that way as I pulled out of his driveway and drove away from his house.

During the drive, I could feel Liam looking over at me but I didn't look over at him. I continued driving, focusing on the road. "Maybe he's not there," Liam broke the silence.

"He better not be there," I muttered. "I really don't have anything to say to that man."

I hear Liam let out a short breath. "You know, he is your dad. Maybe just hear him out-"

"No," I cut him off. "he did me and my mother wrong. He's only trying to get us to forgive him so he do it to us all over again. And i'm letting that happen. Besides, I don't believe he had that help." I muttered the last part.

"But Zayn no matter what he's still your dad. Whether you like it or not. My old man screwed up but at the end of the day he's still my dad. Maybe you should think about giving him a chance."

"No," I say sternly. "Alright? There's no way. Just leave it." It was silent again between us as soon i pulled up to my house.

When we got out the car, my mother came out the house as if she knew of my return. She was in her sky blue robe and slippers; her eyes weary i could make out gray under her eyes. Its as if she hardly get any sleep at all last night; probably because worrying about me and i felt kind of bad about that.

I looked behind her to find no one else coming out behind her before i met her gaze again. "Mum,"

"Zayn, i was worried about you," She say, pulling me into a hug which i returned.

"I'm fine," I say, pulling away. "Where's-... Is he still-"

She shook her head. "He's gone. He left earlier this morning."

I stood awkwardly with my hands in my pockets, and nodded. "He didn't want to be a bother to us anymore, he told me. So he felt its best if he stayed away."

I could sense sadness in my mother's tone but tried her best not to cover it up. She really love my dad, and I could understand that. What they had before he turned out the way he was; it was very special and life was just perfect. And then, i don't know what happened.

"Um, you boys want to come inside?" She gestured behind her.

Liam and I both followed my mother into the house, the atmosphere was warm and I could smell fresh coffee coming from the kitchen. It was quiet and peaceful inside, all you could hear is the sound of our footsteps entering breaking the silence. "Want me to get you anything at all?" She looked between Liam and I.

"No thanks," Liam say politely, while I mumbled a 'no'.

My mother nodded, "Okay. Well, you both make yourself at home. I don't know if you had anything to eat but i'll be happy to make you something before i leave for work."

"No, don't bother Ms. Malik, I'm fine." Liam say smiling a bit.

"I'll go and take a quick shower and be right down," I say heading for the stairs.

~Liam Pov~

While Zayn was upstairs doing his business, his mother told me what happened last night and how Zayn just snapped. Soon our conversation ended when we heard him coming downstairs and joining us in the living room; his hair damp and messy.

"How was your shower, hun?" His mother asked straightening her posture.

"It was okay,"

Then there was slight knocking at the front door interrupting the silence. "Let me get that," She stood up from the couch, heading to the foyer to answer the door.

"Are you expecting anyone?" Zayn asked.

"No," His mother answered.

Zayn turned to me and I just simply shrugged. We could hear voices in the foyer and then all of a sudden -- Perrie appears around the corner and sees us with Ms. Malik following behind.

"Zayn baby," Perrie greeted going over and hugged Zayn.

I was getting clearly annoyed at this. She's hiding something and is playing my best friend. If only Zayn know what his so-called girlfriend did behind his back.

"Um, I'm going to go and get ready for work. And Perrie, thanks for stopping by." Ms. Malik say giving a warm smile, before walking out of the living room leaving the three of us alone.

"Hello Liam,"

I looked up to see Perrie looking at me with that friendly-innocent-but-stupid-smile on her face. "Hi Perrie," I say, putting on a fake smile.

She furrowed her eyebrows but shrugged, returning her focus back to Zayn. "Um, your mum told me about you and your dad."

Zayn rubbed the back of his neck with his hand. I could tell he clearly didn't want to to talk about it. "Uh yeah,"

"You want to talk about it," She say with concern in her tone, that was enough to make me want to gag.

"Excuse me, while I go use the loo." I say with fake smile and left the living room. Well, that was a lie; only to save myself from revealing the truth of what she's really up to.

I was going to pass up the foyer and head for the kitchen until I heard what sounded like something vibrating on a hard surface. As I traced the sound, I see what look like Perrie's phone on the table next to the key bowl and a . I didn't want to be nosy but maybe it wouldn't hurt if i took a little glance.

I could hear Perrie and Zayn still engaging in their conversation in the living room, so I went over and picked up her phone to see she have one new message. I don't know whether or not if should open it; it could be just some other message. But I want to know. I need an answer whether or not, if it's true Perrie's indeed hiding something.

I looked around to make sure everything's clear before my thumb tapped at the screen. What's really stupid ..she didn't lock her phone. How stupid are you to leave your privacy out in the open? Especially something like this--

"Liam,"

I spun around at the sound of my name to see Ms. Malik coming down the stairs. "U-um, y-yeah?" I stuttered, slipping the phone back to its original place on the table from behind me.

"Hey," She smiled, slinging her cream colored peacock coat on her arm. "Are you leaving or.."

"No, no actually i thought i might have left something.." Wow, that came out dumb.

"Oh okay," She lightly chuckled.

Soon, Zayn came out the living room with Perrie following behind him. "You about to leave?" Zayn asked.

"Yeah, um, the office called and I have a meeting to attend," She say grabbing up her bag and keys from the bowl. "You call if you need anything." She say directed to Zayn who nodded and giving a quick peck on his cheek. It wasn't until i heard buzzing on the table behind me.

"Wait, Liam did I leave my phone over there?" Perrie asked gesturing behind me.

I turned around and picked it up to see she have a incoming call before turning to her. "Looks like you have a call."

"Oh, I'll take that," Perrie say taking the phone without hesitation. "I'll be right back, its probably dad." You lying whore. Its probably Tom.

She disappeared into the living room while Zayn and I say our 'see you laters' to his mum and she was out the door. The house phone rung and Zayn went to go answer it in the kitchen and this was moment of truth. I was itching to find out who Perrie's talking to. Whoever she's talking to, they spoke for quite awhile.

I inched my way to the living room and peered in to see Perrie with her phone to her ear. "I know, I wish I was there too. But I can't."

I stayed where I was and listened carefully. "Tom, I can't leave my boyfriend's house now, just got here. Maybe sometime later, I'll come over? .. Okay, baby.."

I couldn't help the smirk growing on my face. Perrie just found herself in a whole lot of trouble.

-Following week- Monday

I arrived at school with Niall, once we walked inside everyone said 'hi' to us as usual. Of course, considering were popular and all; but to be honest I don't like it.

"I thought you said you were going to join me for the brunch at my place this morning," Niall nudged my arm.

"Sorry, Ni. I woke up kind of late." I say. The past few days was suffocating. I haven't heard nor seen Danielle, she's been ignoring me. And I was starting to really miss her.

While walking to my locker, that was when I spot her at her locker. She shut her locker and then met my gaze. Just as i was about to had the urge to speak, she instantly looked down and passed me up not looking or talking to me.

"I see she's still not talking to you," Niall said from beside me.

I ignored him and we both went to my locker, just as I opened it I threw my books inside and grabbed my math book before shutting it. "She hates me." I simply said.

"She doesn't-"

"Yes, she does. She didn't answer any of my calls nor could even look at me." I sighed. "I told Zayn, to end all of this madness. And i really hope he take my word on it."

"What you mean?" Niall asked.

"Gabriel," I said. "All this torturing her, its wrong and it needs to stop. So i told him to call it off. Its exactly why Danielle and I not talking, she found out what i've kept from her and so, here we are."

I heard Niall sighed. "I cannot lie, but you're right mate."

"I am?"

"Yeah," Niall nodded. "this is going too far. And I didn't think anyone let alone you putting a stop to this."

I nodded. "Its time someone does." The bell rang, Niall went his way and I went the other to math class. I had that class with Harry and Louis, so we talk almost the entire the hour without getting caught. But right now, how I'm feeling, I just wasn't in the mood.

I walked into the classroom and took a seat next to Harry, giving him a simple nod and small smile.

"Hey, Li. Whats going on, mate?" Harry smiled.

"I don't know," I shrugged, flipping pages in my math book.

"How are things with you and Dani?" I heard Louis asked.

I emitted a sigh not sure if i wanted to talk about it. "Zayn told me she's still not talking to you." Harry spoke.

"We're ...I don't know. But god, I miss her to death." And that's the truth, I do love Danielle. I will always love her no matter what. Speaking of Zayn, I began thinking whether or not if I should tell him about his girlfriend, Perrie and this Tom guy are up to. I wondered if Zayn does find out if he'd lash out at them both, especially Tom who he disliked more. Our math teacher walked into the classroom and soon we started with our lesson.

It was my lunch period and was at my locker putting away my things and sending a quick message to Danielle of wanting to talk before heading off to the cafeteria.

I walked down the soon quiet hallway and that's when I spotted Perrie and Tom at his locker-- what look like to be making out. I walked up to them, turning Tom around by fisting the collar of his shirt, shoved him against the lockers and punched him in the face-- really hard making his nose bleed. I would have done much worser than that. Perrie eyes went wide in shock looking at her lover and then at me. "Liam, what the fuck is your problem?!"

"So this is what you're been doing to Zayn behind his back? Sneaking around with this prick!"

"Liam, this is not what you're thinking and its none of your damn business." Perrie hissed.

"What happened to being honest, Perrie, huh? What ever happened to that?" I asked. "Wait until Zayn knows about what you been doing this entire time."

"Now you just stop there, Liam." She say taking steps toward me. "You are not to say anything to him, you hear me?"

"Who is you telling? You listen for what I'm about to say. You either tell Zayn or I will." I tell her, before walking off.
