Liam : "Is this about Zayn?"

Louis : "don't start"

Liam : "he does talk to me you know Louis. Do you know what it's like to hear him talk about you and I have to pretend like I'm not fucking you in the night?"

Liam : "I am one of his best friends or did you forget that?"

Louis : "I'm well aware. Can I go now?"
