New Family, New Step-Brother, and Zayn (Zayn Malik Fan Fic)

Chapter 55: Okay Liam

--Zayn's POV--

I felt bad about the fact that I was having second thoughts, but I couldn't help myself. I cared about Ally so much, and I didn't want to make things harder for her. I know I've said it one hundred times already, but I knew it was wrong of me to ask so much of her.
"Zayn, you're literally so stupid. If she's saying it's okay to have another kid then you should just go for it. Anyway, I don't want to hear another word about this whole kid situation. How is the marriage doing?" Harry asked.
"It's going great, actually it's pretty perfect in my opinion. Sure we argue, but what couple doesn't?" I asked.
"Guys, I have to tell you guys something." Liam walked over to us.
"What is it?" I asked.
It was only me and Harry at the bar, along with Liam who had just returned from the restroom. He honestly looked like he was about to cry, or he had already cried some.
"I just broke up with Danielle." He choked out.
I went wide-eyed I was sure of that. They had been together for so long, and sure he had talked about them breaking up, but I didn't think it would really happen. Harry went straight to comforting Liam while I sat there observing the whole ordeal. Poor Liam.
"I-I don't know what I'm going to do without her, but I know it was for the best." He sobbed.
"Let's get out of here. We can go to my place for a little bit. Would you like that, Liam?" Harry asked.
"Yes please. Given the fact that I live with Danielle I don't want to be there right now." He cried.
"Do you want to stay with me and Gabby?" Harry asked.
"No, I don't want to be a burden to you two. I can survive in a hotel room while I'm looking for an apartment." Liam said.
"You really wouldn't be a burden to us, Liam. I'd rather you stayed with us instead of spending money at a hotel." Harry said.
"It's not like he's going to go broke." I laughed, trying and failing to lighten the mood.
"You aren't helping." Harry whispered.
"I figured that much. Let's go to Harry's place, and if you don't want to drive to a hotel you can stay with him. Sound like a plan, Liam?" I asked.
"A good a plan as any I suppose." He whispered.
I could only imagine how much he was hurting. It would devastate me if this were to happen to me and Ally. We did have a child , though, so that would hurt a lot more. But Liam and Danielle had so much history, and they always seemed so happy. They were like the type of couple that everyone could see lasting for the rest of their lives. I can only imagine what she was going through right now. She was stuck in the house she and Liam lived in, with photographs and memories of a soon to be forgotten past. They will become exactly what she'll be replaying in her head; a memory.
I wished that they could hopefully settle whatever differences they had, and patch things up. Except, with the way Liam was speaking, I doubted that was going to happen.
"She didn't love me anymore; I'm almost sure of it. She didn't even care when I had to leave for tour or when she had to leave for her dancing." He sobbed.
"Liam it sounds to me like you broke up because of the traveling and the distance. I know she loved you, that much was always more than obvious." Harry said.
"Yeah, I think the fact that she didn't make a fuss about leaving hurt you. So automatically you assume there is someone else in the picture." I said.
"So you don't think she was cheating?" He sniffled.
"Of course not! Ally and I don't cry and get all emotional in front of each other when I leave, but deep down it's killing the both of us to be separated." I said.
"Maybe just you..." Harry said.
"Not helping." I muttered
"Payback really is a bitch, isn't it?" He snickered.
"This really isn't the time to be childish,  don't you think?" I bit back.
"Sorry." He replied.
I looked over at Liam who was basically a puddle of tears. An ugly crying mess with a broken heart. He must be devastated, and dying inside no doubt. Poor boy.
We pulled up to Harry's house, and I knew I couldn't leave Liam like this. I certainly couldn't leave Harry alone with him either. So I texted Ally telling her that I was going to be staying at Harry's for a little longer than I planned. Obviously, she wanted to know why, but I ignored the message. I made a mental note to explain everything to her the moment I walked in the door otherwise I might not ever come out of the house again. She'd have my ass just for ignoring the message...
