Chapter 44: Thank You

The first thing I woke up to today was the knock on the front door. Waking up at first, I didn't exactly realize where I was. Looking around though, I soon realized I was lying on my couch in the living room. And Jake was asleep on the floor with his toys and blankets that were wrapped around him. 

Getting up, I trudged over clumsily to the door, opening it only to find the person I should've been expecting, but totally forgot he was even coming. 

"Zayn! Oh my gosh I totally forgot to clean up! NO no no the house is a mess you cannot come in here." I panicked. 

Zayn simply kept the grin he had on his face, biting back laughter. "Well then silly where am I suppose to go?" With that, he dropped his stuff and gave me the biggest hug ever. I hugged him back, and soon enough, I was putting his stuff in the guest room, next to Johns, while he picked up Jake and started to play around with him. 

"Zay!" I giggled as I heard Jakes tiny voice echo through the house. 

"Hey Jess?" Zayn asked. 

"Yeah?"

"Is he supposed to have this thing on his stomach?" Meeting him in the living room where he was playing with Jake, I saw what he was talking about. "What is that?"

"I don't know, Z." I answered curiously, and honestly as I felt around it. "It's not an outie is it?"

Zayn looked skeptical. "No..."

I sighed. "Alright. I'll make an appointment for the doctors office." I said as I walked to the kitchen. 

"Is there anything you need me to do?" 

"Yeah, you can come talk to me." I giggled. 

"Have you heard anything from Liam?" Zayn asked. I shook my head. When I said I wanted to talk, this was the last thing on my mind but it was gonna come up anyways. 

"Z-" I started. 

"I know. This is the best conversation but I need to know where you're at. How have you been the last few days?" Asking that, he looked at me intently. Studying my every feature, probably taking note of my dark circles, hollowed out cheeks, and weight loss. It's not that I'm purposefully not eating, it's just I've taken to eating smaller portions. The appetite really isn't there anymore. I can't sleep, as you know. I'm just not in the best health. 

"I've been fine." I answered trying to keep the mood up. It was dimmed, but, that doesn't mean it should be completely ruined. 

"Jess," Zayn sighed grabbing my hand. "I thought the whole point for me to come here so that way we could be here for each other?"

"Fine then Zayn it hasn't been great at all. I can't eat. I can't sleep. All I do is think. And stress. And cry. And feed Jake. And cry some more. I don't know what I'm doing." I finished. My eyes started to water as I looked at Z with lost eyes. "I don't know what I'm doing." I repeated. 

Zayn looked hurt. He looked like he wanted to help so bad. Like he wanted to grab me and hold me in his arms forever, and at the moment it didn't sound like the worst Idea. "I'm so sorry." He looked down. "I'm don't know how to help besides be here. But I hope it's enough."

I softened. "It is Zayn. I appreciate it so much."

I called the doctors and scheduled an appointment for Wednesday which was 3 days away. After all of it, Zayn had managed to feed, change, and put Jake to sleep. I found him rocking his crib in his nursery. 

"Nothing can come between you and I.." He sang softly. 

"You're good with him, you know." I whispered. Zayn smiled softly. 

"I know."

"Hey," He looked at me. "Thank you."

"I've wanted this for a while now. Just me and you." He explained as he looked down again. I blushed. 

"I really like y-" He was cut off by a knock on the door. I excused myself quickly before rushing to the door. Opening it, I found myself regretting not looking through the peep hole first because I was met with a man similar to how I looked and felt. A disheveled figure I once thought I knew, but no longer know anymore. 

I growled. "What are you doing here." He opened his mouth to say something but I didn't want to hear it. "Go. Go now and don't ever come back. I hate you." My heart ached but it felt so good to say these things. Why?

I closed the door, and thought of how he would even think of coming here. But then I thought...

Zayn. He did this didn't he? He planned to come back with Liam too. 

I burned with rage. And I called him out to the living room. I paced as I heard him close Jakes door and come to meet me. 

"What happened?"

I snapped my head towards him. Pointing a finger accusingly, hands shaking, I shoved him back. "You invited him didn't you? It's why you came back!" Another shove. 

He looked so confused. "What? Jess-"

"No! This is all your fault! You did this!"He started to grow angry and frustrated. 

"What are you talking about!"

I continued to ramble on. "You! It was you who set me up-" immediately I was cut off by Zayn slamming his lips onto mine, and hoisting me up to latch my legs around his hips while he picked me up and pushed me up to the wall. 

"I don't know what you're talking about," He said between kisses. "But you're really hot when your mad and this was the only way I could think of getting you to shut up."

I didn't know what to do, but the fire that still burned in me needed to be used, and at the moment and the situation we were in, there was one way I thought of using it, and I did. 

It ended with Zayn and I going to my upstairs bedroom. 

You can imagine what happened but as we lay there in bed, looking at each other.. Zayn says, "You're beautiful."

I snorted. "Are you saying that because I possibly just gave you the best fuck of your life, or because you mean it?"

In all seriousness he looked at me and said, "Jess, I've always thought you were beautiful. It's the real reason Perrie and I broke up."

And with that, my heart dropped.
