Rehab (Zayn Malik)

Ch 15

"I have to go talk to Dani and El today." Bella announced, I smiled, perfect time to talk to Harry about my plan, it's already been a week. "Have fun." I say softly, "Always fun planning parties." she says sarcastically. I look at her curiously, "They decided to throw a 'proper' baby shower." she says tiredly, pulling on my old hoodie. "Just tell them to tone it down if it goes out of control. Don't be spending all my money love." I tease. "I promise." she says softly, "I love you." she added, "I love you more Bella." I plant a quick kiss on her lips, she smiles and turns around to leave.

I waited about fifteen minutes after Bella left before heading to Harry's. I called him and let him know I was coming, in case I walked on things I didn't want to. When I arrived I made sure to knock in case things were happening. "Hey Zayn!" Harry greeted. "Hi Harry." I say softly, "So you finally got away from Bella?" He teases. "Yeah." I laugh as Niall walks in. "Hey Niall." I say, "Hullo Zayn." he said cheerily, and had a huge grin on his face. "Niall don't." Harry said suddenly. "But Haz!" Niall whined, "I don't want a angry Zayn thank you." Harry said, "Yeah. Uh still here!" I say, "Sorry." Harry said. "Zayn would-" Niall started and Harry shot at him and started kissing him. It happened so fast I didn't know what to do. I stood frozen still processing what just happened, "Uh." I managed nervously. Harry whispered something to Niall before finally releasing him and standing behind him wrapping his arms around Niall's waist. "Guys I'm good with all of this. I really am but please take it a little slow in front of me. It's just a bit awkward to see right now. I don't mean to be rude bu-" I say fast nervous of the reaction. "Sorry Zayn but you don't want to hear what Niall wanted to say." Harry explained.

I look between the two boys and their nervous expressions. "Alright out with it." I snap, "Wh-What?" Harry stutters, "What are you hiding?" I say crossing my arms. They looked at each other nervously, "Zayn-" Harry said "I don't want an excuse." I say, Harry bit his lip, "I told Niall about your plan." I barely heard it he spoke so soft. "Has he told anyone else?" I ask calmly. Harry looks at Niall. "No I haven't." Niall said. "Then it's fine. I don't expect you two to keep secrets from each other." I shrug, their in a relationship, I expected nothing less. As long as nobody else knows it's fine with me. Harry brightened, "And you thought he'd be mad!" Niall teased and pushed him away. "Congrats Zayn. You gave up your player ways for Bella." Niall said and ran his fingers through my hair, "Dang it Niall!" I whine shaking him off.

Niall smirked and bounced away. "So you want to start to Brainstorm?" Harry asked and sat on the couch, "Sure" I say softly. "So I how do you want to do this?" Harry asked, "I have no idea. I just think simple but still different." I say softly. "What if we got her a little cake with the ring on it? I can help you bake it of you want that or we could go get it professionally done." Harry tossed out after a moment of silence. "That's actually really good. I like the idea with you helping me bake it though, it makes it more personal. One question, when is a good time to bring it out?" I say thoughtfully. "That is a good question." Harry said and it went quiet, "Oh god just sing her favorite song and wheel it out, then say it's her present!" Niall said simply and flopped beside Harry. "Since when are you a hopeless romantic?" I tease, "Since I hang out with this one all the dang time." Niall teasing Harry. "I've never heard you complain Baby Bear." Harry says wrapping a arm around his waist, "I'm not." Niall says leaning further into Harry's grip.

I really am trying to be supportive of Harry and Niall. They are my best friends after all. It's just hard, seeing them like this. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy they found someone. It's just awkward seeing them act like this. The kisses are a bit far, holding hands I can deal with. The cuddling stuff that I'm watching, I guess one day I'll get used to it. They still acted like themselves, which is great! I hope they tell the other guys soon though. These guys are like my brothers. I hope one day soon I'll get used to seeing this.

My phone's ringer broke my thoughts. "Sorry. I'll be right back." I mummer to the two boys. They just smile and nod sympathetically. "Hello." I answer as I enter the kitchen. "Hi." Bella's voice came through glumly. "Are you alright?" I ask calmly. "I guess." she says glumly. "Are you home?" I ask quickly. "Yeah." she says. "I'll be back in a minute okay?" I say quickly. "Okay." she says unsure. "I love you." I say, "Love you too." she says glumly. I hang up the phone.

"Sorry guys but I gotta run." I say grabbing my jacket. "What's wrong?" Niall asks worriedly. "I don't know. Bella called and seemed upset so I'm heading home, bye guys." I explain quickly. I quickly pull up to the flat and nearly run into the flat. "Bella!" I call. "In the bedroom." She calls back. I found her curled in the bed covers, "What's wrong beautiful?" I ask moving her hair and kissed her forehead. I saw her smile a bit, "You have no idea how bad I wanna smoke right now Zayn." she says weakly. "Let me be your drug. I don't judge. I can make you laugh, and if I have to murder someone, I'll do that too." I say and she laughs a bit.

"My dad somehow got my number, and called me." she said weakly.
