Bad Kitty (Zarry)

Chapter 56

Zayn (POV)  January 14th 1:10am

I hadn't showered in three days, I hadn't spoken to anybody on the phone for three days, I hadn't eaten much of anything aside from crackers and apple sauce for three days. Nothing felt right anymore, I thought my world would be broken and depressing without Perrie but shockingly...this was all over Harry.

He flipped my shit upside down, I hated the cat like man for multiple reasons but my heart kept tugging and pulling and wanting to be closer. No matter how many times I told myself to dislike him, to treat him like crap, to hurt his feelings and push him around a bit...he was a fighter and stood his ground for half of those insults.

But why was I feeling like my world has crashed after losing him? For crying out loud, I lost not only my ex girlfriend but my best fucking friend who also didn't care for Harry. That type of pain was still there but losing Harry...that was something else.

Liam and Niall have been good mates having me here, even though all morning has been weird. It's like they were keeping something from me, the way they shared shaky looks and kept avoiding eye contact with me.

None of it seemed right.

''So Zayn....since you're not in college or working...anymore, what are your plans? Liam wanted me to ask since he's kind of hoping you'd start applying for jobs just for your own sake.'' Niall bit his lip nervously, looking down at his phone.

That's right, I quit my job and stopped going to school. My life has literally fell into pieces ever since that fucking Hybrid entered it.

''I'm not saying you have to do that NOW, not with how the weather has been as of late. But you know....just gotta push you for future plans is all.''

Looking down at my numb fingers, not realizing how hard I had been gripping at the fabric of my sweats.

''I'll look into some jobs tomorrow, not really in the mood to do anything today if that's alright.''

I could see the small twitch of a smile trying to hide its appearance on Niall's face.

''That's more than alright, don't worry about it. And you've already paid this months rent at your place, correct? I don't want us going back there and finding a big red sign on your door that you've been kicked out.''

Chuckling, he worries more than I do.

''Yes, Niall. Everything is always paid two weeks before the actual payday. Don't sweat it mate. I'm good, trust me. I just need a little vacation away from my flat and pretty much everything else minus you guys but that's a different story.''

Sniffling, I needed away from my place because it reminded me of Harry more than it did Perrie and Louis.

''Well since the weather has picked up enough for us to go out and run errands, would you like to go with me to the grocery store? Pick up a few things before another storm hits? The NEWS has been well caught up in making sure we're aware of these bloody things. What do you say?''

Thinking about it, it's been a really hard couple of months due to the weather. Perrie and Louis funerals were tough, there were so many accidents that day and lots of tears. Then being snowed in here even though it was already planned that I'd be staying but for the other two, they're so used to going out and having dinner together and hitting up a few bars that came off a little too romantic than most movies put them out to be.

But it kept hitting me all at once....everybody was out doing their own thing, living up the life they were given but where was Harry? Was he somewhere safe and warm? Was he inside with somebody else that was taking good care of him? Was he taken by some angry scientists that were opening up his organs and eating him?!
