Zayn got out of the taxi and ran towards the door, he forced it open and ran inside

"MUM?!"

She came out from a room and rushed towards him, she hugged him but he quickly put her behind him

A few men came out of the room she was in and they all glared at him

"How much does she owe you?"

The man in the front crossed his arms "15"

Zayn's eyes widened "15 what?"

"Million"

Zayn looked at her before he turned ahead "I'll get it"

"Now"

Zayn huffed "I don't have a fucking checkbook on me right now and I have a limit on my card"

"I'll take care of it..."

They all looked towards the door and Zayn frowned seeing his father

The ripped a piece of paper then gave it to the guy, he took it then looked at the other 2 and they all left

Zayn let out a breath and looked at his mother "What the fuck were you doing?!"

"Zayn. Go to my car, I need to talk to your mum"

"Dad-"

"Zayn. Please."

Zayn sighed, he took his dad's keys and walked out, on his way towards the car he heard them both whispering

Zayn stopped and crouched behind the wall

"What happened to you?! Do you WANT to go to prison? Do you want to get murdered?"

"You don't know how difficult life has been!! I raised him alone for 5 years!! Yet he left me the second you waved the fancy life in front of him"

"What fancy life are you even talking about? I still give him a fucking curfew, his card has a limit and if he goes over it he has to pay it, he wants something he pays for it, the only 'fancy' thing I do is give him a roof over his head and drive him to school"

"He has his license, let him drive"

"My god, I love and want to spend time with my son. I drive him because I worry he'll need something but he won't call me because he believes he can take care of it himself, I want him to know I'll always be there!!"

Zayn looked at his hands when he heard his father take a deep breath

"You made him believe he needed to work for the bare minimum, you made him believe he needs to work for YOU to love him. I want him to know I'll love him either way"

Zayn took a breath and stood up, he walked towards the car and got into the passenger seat

A few minutes later his father came out and got into the driver seat and drove off

Zayn sat silently then cleared his throat "Dad"

"Yeah?"

He looked at his father "I'll always need you..."

His father smiled "I doubt it, son... But I'll be there whenever you need me"

"I know dad"

It was quiet for a while then his dad let out a breath "I'd... I'd like it if you see her more often, if you'd like me to be there-"

"I would" his father looked at him then turned to the road "I would... Feel better if you were there"

His father smiled and nodded "Ok"

~~~~~

"So..."

Liam looked at Zayn from over his shoulder "So?"

Zayn hugged Liam from behind  and kissed his cheek, Liam put his hands on Zayn's (that were around his shoulders) and smiled

"Sorry for leaving last night"

Liam shrugged "It's ok, it was an emergency and you explained it"

Zayn nodded then wanted to pull away but Liam stopped him

He cleared his throat "A few more minutes... Please?"

Zayn nodded and tightened his arms around Liam "Gladly"

~~~~~

"Whatever you both are-"

"Friends"

Louis rolled his eyes "Whatever you both are-"

"Friends"

Louis gave Liam a look "Let me talk before I flick the switch on the back of your head" He whispered shouted before Liam rolled his eyes and nodded

"Whatever you both are, whether it's friends or more..." He smiled "I'm happy for you both, I don't think I've seen your eyes shine that bright in years."

Liam rubbed his hands on his cheeks "I felt like the light was sucked out of me for a long time... I just didn't know it" He looked at Zayn and Niall who are standing by Niall's locker

"I feel like... I'm slowly starting to feel like me again, a fucked up version but still me"

Louis smiled and Liam turned back towards him

"I hope you never lose this light, Payno. You deserve it more than anyone"

Liam rested his head against his locker "I guess so."

Louis flicked Liam's forehead and Liam glared at him

"Stop guessing, you better start to believe so"

~~~~~

"They're a lot closer now, they sit together in classes, and hold hands when walking together and leave together too"

Luca dropped his head back "Thank you Jessie"

Jessie nodded, she was about to leave but stopped and turned around

"He looks happier"

Luca rolled his eyes "I give him a week before all that happiness disappears, no matter what u bought him it all fades within a week"

Jessie sighed and nodded before she left and closed the door
