One night stand-Zayn Malik

Chapter 67- Together.

  

It was getting dark and the boys and Erica were still at Zayn's house. We had nothing to say but still we sat in the living room and atleast tried to talk about something. Zayn spend the whole day in his graffiti room, Erica had to get more painkillers because of her neck and Harry took great care of her. I wanted to do something but after the conversation with Zayn I was afraid to even move. What was going to happen now?

" We know she did it, that twat" 

I woke up from my own thoughts as I saw Louis stand up. 

" I believe Erica" Liam said and pattered Louis on the shoulder, like he had his back on this one. 

" So do I, this is way out of town, something that Perrie would pull off" Niall sniffed up his nose and fixed his jeans as he stood up. They looked at me like I was supposed to agree and stand up now, but I had no energy. 

" I'm in this battle with her" I suddenly said and looked at them. " She won't stop until she has him, simple as that" 

" Ohh no no no Tara" Louis gasped and hurried to sit down next to me. He took my hands in his and looked deep into my eyes, it was almost uncomfortable.

" You are not letting him go now ! Sweetheart, Zayn and Perrie go way back and yes he did love her but the second he saw you at that mask party he realized that he never loved her. He didn't know what love was for god's sake until you guys kissed ...or whatever" He rolled his eyes and smiled, showing off his white teeth. I could not help but smile back at him. 

" You see it? " He squeezed my hands a little before letting them go. " And everything that you put yourself through-" Louis was interrupted by Niall who looked more serious than ever.

" Us..what you put us through" 

" Niall don't.." Liam whispered but they all knew that Niall was hurt and he would never let this go.

" All the lies, all the hiding, Modest and we stopped a fucking wedding" 

" Niall , enough" Liam had his hand on Niall's chest like he had to stop him from slapping me. I stood up quickly, making Louis back off in his seat.

" I think I recall that you slept with one of my people, therefore it was all your fault because you couldn't keep it in your pants infront of the staff ! " 

" Tara you should calm down" Louis stood up and tried to cut the tension between me and Niall. 

Harry suddenly stood in the room with the phone in his hand. He was polite as he thanked someone and nodded his head once in a while.

" We just called the police" He said and put his phone in his pocket. I could sense some heavy disappointment in his voice. 

" And ?" Louis asked for all of us.

" Not enough evidence, nothing to do" 

We all felt the same drop in our stomach as he told us that police wasn't able to help us out. 

" Are you serious? They almost killed her" Liam said disappointed and let go of Niall. I quickly looked at him. Why did we always fight? 

" You need to tell her to back the hell off" Niall said and the room went quiet.  He didn't brake the eye contact we had. I knew what he was doing. He was showing me that he had my back on this one. 

" Warn that bitch" Louis said and little smiles appeared on our faces. Niall nodded his head smiling. 

" Maybe Zayn should own up to his mess , for once" Harry was the only one not smiling. 

Zayn's P.O.V

I started off with making someone like me, but more wicked. Arms, chest, face and green hair. He had someone in his arms, resting her head on his chest. Black for the outlines, soft pink for the closed eyelids, blue for the hair she would have if she was a superhero and the red...Red for her kissable lips that gave me butterflies everyday after all this time. His tattoed arm was wrapped around her like he was protection her. After a while I took one step back to look at the work I had been doing for the last past days. 

First they were separated. They looked at each other with the corner of their eye and above them was a dark cloud. My eyes followed the wall and the sprayed people got closer and closer and as they got closer the more color they had. Now he finally had her and his cloud was gone. Hers was gone too, but she had an umbrella in her hand, just in case if a storm would arrive. 

I sniffed up in my nose. The storm was coming, and the storm was Perrie. Why didn't she just let all of this go ? She never loved me anyway. What did she need? I stared at the woman on the wall. She was perfect. So beautiful and peaceful and the way her lips curled up into a little smile as she rested her head on his chest was magical. 

I  let go of the spray and took a deep breath. I needed to get my shit together, for once.  I opened the door and the dark welcomed me to the hallway. I looked at my watch, it was two in the morning and everybody had left.

I looked into the bedroom hoping to see Tara but it was empty. I got this awful feeling that somebody had invited her to stay at their place, that she didn't want to stay with me. I can't blame her after what I said earlier...

I walked into the living room that was lighted up with one lamp. There she was, curled up in the sofa probably freezing. Without thinking I lay down next to her and wrapped my arms around her from behind like it was the last cuddle.

After a minuet I heard that her breathing had changed. She was aware of my presence. 

" I'm an idiot" I said.

" You are an idiot" She said tired and I could not help but smile.

" I know that what I said was wrong..." I was about to come up with the right words when she stopped me by saying my name and turn around.

She placed her hand gently on my cheek before kissing me.

" I know you, you just needed a little time" She looked so calm as she spoke to me. I don't know why but I wanted to hug her and hold her so close to me.

" Thank you for giving me the time to figure out how serious this is...we need to do something . Perrie needs to stop acting like this

" She doesn't know what she signed up for" I added and Tara left out a little laugh.

" We are in this together then.." 

I kissed or on the forhead before pulling her closer. 

" Together"
