Punk Zayn Series

"You See Him Get Upset"

You sit on the living room couch as Sophie is by the door, both waiting for Zayn to show up for your date this afternoon. He was almost an hour late and you were starting to get worried. He had never been late for anything since you had known him, especially dates. You had called him several times with no answer. As you end the call for a fifth time, you shake your head. You rise from the couch and grab your keys. You head out the door, leaving Sophie to watch you from the window. He had only taken you to his apartment once so you were hoping you could remember how to get back. After a few U-turns and abrupt reverse moves you reach his building. You noticed his car was still in the resident lot so you make you way inside to confront him as to why he hadn't showed up to your house yet. The ride up to his floor seemed to take forever. Once in front of his door you take a deep breath in and begin to knock. "Zayn?!" You shout from the hallway. With no answer you persist. Knowing that he was behind this door meant you weren't going anywhere without an explanation from him. "Zayn! I know you're in there?" You hear slight steps from behind the door and you lower your voice. "Zayn, babe?" He says nothing as he unlocks the door. You walk in slowly and he shuts the door behind you. You turn to face him. "What is going on?" You ask, worried that he had done more than forgotten.
"Why are you here?"
"What do you mean why am I here? You had me worried."
"Why?" You look at him confused, this sorrowful demeanor just wasn't him. "Why? Because I care about you and when you are an hour late for something, I want to find out why." Your explanation breaks him. He backs up to the door and slides down, reaching the floor with a hard crash. His head immediately falls between his knees. You quickly take his side in the floor. "Zayn what is wrong?" He shakes his head and you notice tears staining his shirt. "Zayn," you say quietly, reaching your hand to his chin, lifting his face to your's. "You're perfect," he begins and you look at him in confusion. "You're too perfect...too perfect for me. I don't deserve you. I thought that if I didn't show up today you would just get mad at me and not talk to me anymore. Then you would have a chance to meet someone you deserve." That explanation really confused you. "Is that what you really thought? You thought that you not showing up once would make me never talk to you? Zayn that's ridiculous!" His head falls back between his knees. "You are the someone I deserve. You are everything I deserve. A bit unconventional yes, but I wouldn't trade you or this for anyone or anything else. I said yes to you and it wasn't just because of Sophie." His head rises at your explanation, tears still falling from his eyes. You reach in to wipe them away, moving his arms to the side and squeezing into him before wrapping them back around you.
