Change Of Heart (Narry/Zouis) *On Hold*

5. The Storm Is Coming

Chapter 5 

Last chapter:

"Not so flexible anymore, are we now?" I asked smirking and Zayn turned his head to me.

 "Shut it, Tommo," He said. I gasped at the nickname. He never called me that before, but I could see the mischievous glint in his eyes. That prick!

 After the next directions, Zayn spent down a little more and I could see his shirt rise showing his hip.  Oh my God...

Present:

"Zayn-" I started, but he cut me off.

"You win. I need to go to the bathroom." He said, and stood up, covering his hip with his shirt. He ran into the bathroom and I followed him. Fortunately I caught the door, before he could shut it.

"Zayn, come on. Talk to me!" I pleaded. It wasn't supposed to be like this. I should have known. He turned to look at me, with a sad expression on his face.

"I'm sorry. I should've told you, but I just… I didn't want you to guys to worry." Zayn said, looking at me, and then behind me. I noticed the other lads came as well.

"Zayn, show us your stomach. You’re not getting away with this so easily." Liam stated, with calm voice. Zayn seemed unsure and looked at me. I nodded, smiling slightly. He lifted the hem of his shirt up to his chest and I heard a gasp behind me, which I guessed to be Niall.

"Zayn, you should have told us! We could have helped!" Niall said, hurt in his voice. I looked at Zayn's stomach and hips, in shock. There were bruises everywhere and he was really underweight. His hip bones were sticking out and I couldn't believe he was dealing with this by himself.

"Why would you starve yourself?" I asked, numbly, as I stared at the broken boy in front of me. He looked embarrassed and then shrugged.

"I just haven't felt too hungry, lately, and my dad has been taken care of." He was lying about the eating thing. That’s for sure. He bit the inside of his bottom lip when he was lying.

"Your dad did this? Why?" He shook his head and told us he didn't want to talk about that right now. We still talked about it anyway in the kitchen and it turned out that his dad had been hitting him for quite a while now. He reported his dad, a while ago, and he was taken to prison, until his appeal date.

"How did we not know about this?" Harry asked this time and Zayn bit his lip.

"I tried to do it without the press knowing about it. And I asked the police to keep it as a secret." Zayn explained, smiling a little now. Liam stated that he should have told us, so we could have helped him.

"It's fine. There’s not really any problem anymore." Zayn said and I started to protest, just to be stopped by a loud lighting strike. My eyes widened and I balled my fist so hard that my knuckles were white. I have always been terrified of thunder and that wasn't going away anytime soon.

"Let's watch a movie okay? It's not like we have anything else to do and Simon has brought some great movies, because I asked him to." Liam said and I felt relieved. Maybe a movie would calm me down a bit. We all gathered in the living room, but I was still wanted to talk about Zayn's problem, after the thunder, of course.

"Oh my God! If you were the one to suggest the movies, there is nothing but Disney movies." Zayn whined and I smirked, turning to look at Liam. He looked at Zayn, with a hurt expression on his face.

"Do you seriously trust me less? Of course I asked for other movies as well. And you should have a little more trust in me! After all, you are the one who didn't tell anything about your condition!" Liam said, looking really hurt now. I was shocked because he didn't usually yell at anybody; but I guess he was just worried.

"I couldn't tell because you guys had other issues to deal with and there's nothing you could have done!" Zayn shot back, but Liam didn't think it was over, yet.

"You could have come to live with us! We were supposed to tell everything to each other." Liam said now, quietly, and Zayn seemed vulnerable than ever. I just wanted to hug him so badly.

"I'm sorry for not telling. I thought that I could handle it by myself, without bringing you guys into it." Zayn apologized and we group-hugged each other, until the lightning struck again. We all jumped back and stared at each other before we cracked up and started to laugh like maniacs.

"Way to ruin the moment." Zayn stated, a small smile on his face. After we all stopped laughing, expect Niall, we decided to watch Finding Nemo first, since Liam was the one who got the movies in the first place.

Zayn's POV

After about twenty minutes, I looked at the guys. They were all focusing on the movie, so I could steal a little glance at Louis. I didn't exactly like what I had seen: he was cuddling with Harry. Surprise, surprise; but Harry was biting his earlobe and Lou was smiling like he's the happiest man in the world. Why couldn’t I be like that, with him? He would just find it weird, if it was me who he was cuddling with. I sighed and leaned against the couch, since I was sitting in the floor.

"Whassup?" Niall whispered in my ear. I shook my head and he let it be. I wasn't ready to tell anyone about my feelings yet and I wasn't sure if I ever would be. I continued to watch the movie and, after a while, I was really focused on it. I kind of liked the movie, but that wasn't a thing I would admit so easily.

When we were in the middle of the movie, I heard shuffling but I didn't really pay attention. In no time I felt someone to crawl between my legs and I woke up from my Finding Nemo-trance. I looked at Louis who was sitting between my legs like nothing had happened. I felt my face heat up, but luckily it was dark in the room so no one could see me.

I felt Louis to grab my wrists and bring them around himself, like I was hugging him from behind. Oh lord, kill me now. He pressed his back to my chest and my breath hitched.

"You're comfy and warm, and Harry was whining how hot he was, so I decided to come here. I hope that's okay." Louis whispered and I snorted, earning a few funny looks from the guys.

"It's fine. You don't have to even ask. You're comfy too, and warm..." I trailed off and nuzzled my face in to his crook of neck for, a while, before pulling away little. Yeah, there's definitely something wrong with me, if Louis can make me act like this. He kissed my cheek and I was ready to die of a heart attack.

This was going to be long night.

Author's note: So, there's a chapter 5, I hope you liked it, loves! The next chapter will be Harry's and Niall's point of view again. :) Sorry for the shortness of this chapter!
