Never Letting Go. (Sequel to Til Death Do Us Part.)

24. Studio Time

*Liam's P.O.V*

The longer Liz and Zayn stood there, enfolded in each other, the farther Niall's face fell.

I didn't blame him. His girlfriend is hugging all over a guy that she had sex with, just four months after breaking up with him. Liz says that she caught Niall with a girl named Brianna, so I suppose the whole sex situation with them is even. They both hurt each other and since they've come to terms with their mistakes, they should be able to move on with it, but Niall was seriously breaking under each tense second of hugging Liz and Zayn were doing.

Was she even wrong for trying to calm him down?

If she wouldn't have stopped him then he would have surely knocked another pap unconscious and that's one more scene the fans have witnessed of Zayn's outbursts. Out of all of the times Liz and the other two girls have saved our careers, you may have to chalk another one up for them.

"Zayn, please stop?" She begged.

Zayn gradually cooled down, fists unclenching and body relaxing. Zayn's eyes returned to their easy going hazel color and he hesitantly wrapped his arms around her torso.

I turned as I heard Niall sigh and he started to walk again, towards the studio.

That's when Liz finally realized her appearent mistake and let Zayn go, jogging after Niall, calling for him to stop. He did so at the entrance of the studio.

I changed my worries to Zayn and approached him, placing a hand on his shoulder.

He turned to look at me over his shoulder.

'You okay, mate?" I ask.

He shrugged.

"Not really." He replied.

"Want to talk about it?"

His eyes shifted behind me and to the others. I turned back and they all were gawking at us.

"Oh. We'll be at the studio." Louis says, taking El's hand and headed towards the studio, everyone following behind them.

I sighed and looked back at Zayn.

"What's on your mind?"

He went to the curb and leaned against a car, pulling a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He pulled one out and placed between his lips, then searched his shirt and jacket pockets for a lighter. Once he found it, he lit it and placed it in the cigarette box, slipping it back in his pocket.

He was supposed to be trying to kick that habit, but it clearly isn't working, seeing that he just opened a fresh pack.

"It's her." He says.

I crossed my arms over my chest and leaned beside him.

"Who, Elizabeth?" I question.

He nodded and blew a line of smoke into the air.

"Well, what about her?"

"I just can't stop loving her." He replies.

What Zayn's saying doesn't really surprise me. He's been in love with Elizabeth for quite some time and then they had sex. That only made it worse for him to attempt to give her up. Seeing her with Niall again isn't helping the fact either.

What's he to do? He's been single since Perrie cheated, but after she died, and he's tried on a relationship with a girl called Sofia, but she cheated too, so now he was just giving up entirely. Which is understandable. Sort of.

I've always preferred being with someone, but Zayn's been through hell and back in the last few years that maybe he's better off on his lonesome.

"She's with Niall again. Really, there isn't anything you can do about it." I say.
