Chapter 20

Zayn’s POV

            A knock on the door interrupted us in the worst time.

“It’s 11:00pm, what is someone doing here?” Piper asked worried as she studied my face.

“I’ll check.” I said kissing her nose making her giggle. She wrapped her arms back around my neck and brought her chest to mine smiling up at me.

“Hurry back pretty boy.” She whispered before turning around and walking down the hall towards my bedroom, looking at me over her shoulder and winking at me making smirk. I walked over to the door and opened it, surprised to find a worried Louis standing on the other side.

“Lou?” I asked raising one of my eyebrows as his eyes darted behind me, scanning the room.

“Is Piper here?” He asked finally looking at me.

“Uh yeah she just went down to my room, whats wrong?” I asked as he bit down on one of his nails.

“I’m worried about Harry. I think Piper is the only one that can bring him back.”

“Bring him back?” I asked..

“Just get her and lets go.”

            We arrived at the flat in record breaking time. We walked into the front foyer and immediately I heard something shatter making Piper jump. I wrapped my arm around her waist.

“It’s okay.” I whispered.

“What’s wrong with him Louis?” I asked.

“He just found out that his grandma died.” He said quietly making me almost stumble back. “That and after your fight today, he’s just gone mad.” He added.

“You guys fought?” I asked. Piper looked up at me worried, her eyes glistening. She nodded and I tightened my grip on her, anger pulsing through me.

“Do I go talk to him?” Piper asked quietly.

“I think if anyone will have luck doing so, it would be you.” Louis said nodding. She looked up at me for approval making me stare down at her heavily. I kissed her head and let go of her hip, watching as her tiny figure snaked down the hallway.

Piper’s POV

            I tapped on the door, hearing the pacing continue and someone grunt.

“Harry.” I whimpered. The pacing stopped.

“Piper?” His shaky voice sounded.

“It’s me.” I said leaning on the door.

“Go back to Zayn’s I don’t want you in here.” He said stepping towards the door.

“Harry it’s okay just let me in.” I said trying the door but it was locked.

“I don’t want you seeing this.” He said loudly.

“Harry.” I begged. There was silence and then all of a sudden, the door cracked open. I pushed it open and closed it behind me scanning my eyes over the room quickly. The pillows were scattered everywhere, his couch tipped over, a vase broken on the ground and a big crack down his window. He was sitting on the edge of his bed, starrign up at me holding onto his bloody fist.

“Harry your hand.” I said running to him and sitting down beside him. I grabbed his hand but he yanked it away, turning his face away from me.

“Hey.” I said putting my hand on his face and turning him to face me. His wet eyes met mine and his bottom lip shook.

“It’s okay.” I whispered. He shook his head and collapsed into me. His heavy body swallowed me as he wrapped his arms around me sobbing.

“It’ not. Nothing will be.” He sobbed.

“Shh, it’s okay. I’m here.” I whispered running my hand through his hair. He pulled back and starred at me.

“Why are you?”  He asked.

“Lou came to me.” I said starring into his green eyes.

“I’m sorry about everything I said.” He said beginning to cry again.

“Stop, it’s okay Harry that’s the least of my worries.” I said pulling him back into a hug.

“Just hold me.” He begged making me close my eyes and squeeze him tighter.

            I stayed in there with him for about 20 minutes before he finally let me go to go get the first aid kit. I walked out of the room, closed the door behind me and headed down the hall to the living room. As soon as I entered Louis and Zayn stood up and were now joined by a worried Niall and Liam.

“Hey.” I said smiling at them. They both nodded and Louis stepped forward.

“Is he okay?” He asked making me sigh.

“I think he’s doing okay now, his hands a mess though.” I said making a worried look spread on Louis’ face.

“I’ll go get the first aid kit.” He said, running off the hall towards the bathroom.

“What happened when you were in there?” Niall asked.

“He cried mostly.” I said starring at the ground. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Zayn stepping towards me. I closed my eyes and felt him snake his arm around me, I could sense him starring down at me. I leaned into him and opened my eyes, seeing Liam and Niall leaving the room to give us privacy.

“You okay?” He asked quietly as he brushed a strand of hair behind my ear.

“You didn’t see his face Zayn, the hurt in his eyes.” I said keeping my gaze on the ground.

“Look at me.” He said sternly making my eyes travel up to his.

“What happened to Harry’s grandmother was awful and its going to effect us all but you cant let that make what he did to you slide by, he was wrong okay? Don’t feel bad for saying something today to him.” He said making me shake my head. I wrapped my arms around his waist and snuggled my head into his chest as he kissed my head.

            The funeral is tomorrow. The boys have been taking turns watching over Harry to make sure he doesn’t do anything he would regret. Ive noticed he’s probably the most sensitive out of the bunch of them, but at first glance you wouldn’t assume that. It was Zayn’s turn over night so I spent the night at his house waiting for him to return in the morning. I had no idea how it would go over; Harry and Zayn being alone in the same room together but I’d find out in the morning.

            The bed sunk beside me and I inhaled the scent of his cologne making me melt into the sheets. I felt him brush hair out of my face and bring his lips to my bare shoulder, kissing it gently.

“Morning sleepy head.” He whispered making me smile. I slowly opened my eyes and was met with his big, brown beautiful ones.

“Welcome to the world of non lazy people.” He teased making me laugh.

“Shut up you’re more lazy then me.” I said shifting over and wrapping my arms around his waist. He draped his arms over me and turned his head in, kissing my neck.

“How’s he doing?” I asked running my finger up and down his spine underneath this shirt.

“He’s alright, as good as he can be doing.” He said running his hands through my hair making me sink into his strong chest. I didn’t say anything, not wanting to ruin the moment. When I was with Zayn I could forget about everyone else and just be in the moment with him. I could forget about the stress of it all and learn to focus on what was right infront of me.

“Would my girlfriend like to spend the day with me?” He asked making me pull back and smile up at him.

“Girlfriend?” I asked as he put a strand of hair behind my ear.

“Yes.” He said smiling making me bite down on my lip and shriek quietly causing him to laugh.

“She would love that very much.” I said bringing my lips to his.
