zayn came back to los angeles late thursday afternoon. niall had finally left november's to make sure naughty boy hadn't ruined the apartment.

"i'm back," zayn called, dropping his suitcase onto the floor.

niall was the first to come greet him, engulfing him in a tight hug. zayn hugged him back briefly, but pushed him off and went to find naughty boy.

"where's NB?"

niall picked up zayn's suit case and put it in his room. he was annoyed, and didn't appreciate the fact that zayn would just ignore him like that.

"he left earlier to go get food or something. to celebrate your return."

zayn plopped down on the couch and started flicking through the channels, "is your girlfriend always a bitch?"

niall instantly turned around, giving zayn a confused look, "what?"

"you heard me. she practically threatened me over the phone a couple days ago; just because she's listening to what chloe has to say about me."

"don't call my girlfriend a bitch for protecting her friend. maybe they're right, zayn. all you and chloe do is have sex. have you even taken her on a proper date yet?" niall angrily stated.

zayn was taken back. he didn't expect niall to ever be against him.

"why don't you mind your own business? are you just mad that i can fuck any girl i want and you can't? is that it?" zayn taunted.

niall didn't know how to reply. he just wanted to stop all of the drama and fighting.

"i treat november with the respect she deserves. it's my choice wether i want to have sex or not. butt out of my relationship and work on your own," niall spat.

he was beyond furious to say the least.

"i don't need to work on my relationship. chloe and i are fine. i feel bad for november. if she were mine i would have fucked her already. she would have enjoyed every second of it, too."

zayn had a smug look on his face, flicking through more channels on the telly.

"don't fucking talk about her like that," niall shut off the tv, making zayn cry out in annoyance. "ever since you started hanging out with naughty boy, you've turned into a dick and i'm sick of it."

"if you don't like it, you can leave. nobody is asking you to stay," zayn stood up, getting awfully close to niall, who was trying his best to stand his ground.

"where do you expect me to go?"

zayn balled his fists, "why don't go you stay with your girlfriend? anywhere but here. i thought you were my mate but obviously you're just like everyone else."

"what the fuck are you on?" niall took a step closer to zayn, "i am your mate. we're best friends! you just need to stop being such an asshole to everyone, especially chloe."

"don't tell me what to do, niall. just don't. i want you gone by tonight. i promised NB he could have your room, anyway."

zayn walked into niall's room and began to pull his sheets off of his bed, then started ripping his posters down. niall ran in and jumped on zayn's back, pulling him down.

"you can't just kick me out! you promised my room to naughty boy? since when, zayn?"

zayn shoved niall off of him and stood up, "if you don't support me and my decisions, i don't want you living here. just leave, niall."

and who was he to argue with that?

november came home after her shift at the dog adoption place and started cooking. someone was buzzing to be let in, so november let them in, assuming it was michael.

a few moments later, there was a knock on the door. november curiously opened it, giving niall a weird look when his suitcases were on the floor.

"uh, going somewhere?"

niall picked up his things and trudged into the living room, sitting down on the couch and holding his head in his hands.

"what happened?"

november sat next to him, rubbing circles into his back.

"he kicked me out," niall simply said.

"what? why? where are you going to live now?"

"he gave my room to naughty boy.. and i don't know."

november lifted his head up with her free hand and gave him a chaste kiss. he relaxed a bit, placing his hands on her cheeks.

"you know you're always welcome here," november smiled.

"i don't want to be a burden. i'll just get a dorm."

november shook her head, "no, you're staying here. that's final."

niall sighed, eventually giving in. he was so exhausted that he didn't feel like fighting with anyone anymore. he just wanted to sleep.

"i'm going to go finish dinner. you go put your stuff away and come help me."

"gotcha."
