Tattooed Heart [N.H AU]

Forty-six

*Next morning*

*Summer's P.O.V*

I get out of bed with caution, trying not to wake Zayn. Quietly I walk to the bathroom, getting the knots out of my hair and brush my teeth. I decided to take a shower to try and clear my mind. I made it as hot as possible and stepped in. I looked at the wall for about 5 minutes before actually wash myself. I put the shampoo through my hair, and then left the conditioner in my hair until I had scrubbed my body.

I stepped out and wrapped a towel around my body. As I looked in the mirror, I could see my mascara from last night streaming down my face and I could see my now puffy red eyes; that happen when you cry your eyes out on the shower, remembering what happen with Niall days ago.

Before washing my face on the sink, and drying my face with the towel, I opened the bathroom door, turning right and walking down the hall I reached Zayn's room. Pair of clean black boxers was lying on the bed as well as a large shirt and my leggings from yesterday. I inspect the room before I put the clothes on. It smells just like Zayn.

I pulled my hair into a ponytail, not bothering to having it down and applied a little bit of makeup and lip balm from by bag before I walked out of the room. Zayn was standing by the counter checking something on his phone, nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist. His upper torso was bare, and I was able to see every single one of his tattoos. He looked up and caught me gawking, his lips tugging up in a smirk as he pushed his wet hair off his face.

"Oh- sorry. I didn't mean to stare" I blushed

"No worries Summer. I should probably change now, since you're here now" he smirked as he went upstairs.

He returned with clothes on this time. I wouldn't have been disappointed if he wanted to stay topless, I mean it wasn't exactly the worst sight to be honest. I tried to look away and get that thought out of my head by pouring a glass of water for myself.

Once Zayn dropped me off at home; it was mid-day when the girls to came over. I just wanted to get this weird feeling out of my chest. I couldn't stop thinking about Niall and whether or not I would call him, wondering if he was a wake as well.

I finally managed to get the ear buds on my Iphone in my ear and listen to the most obnoxious song on my playlist.

The last time I looked at the clock, it was ten past 3 in the evening. It felt just like a few moments later when I heard a knock at the door; Zeena and Eleanor burst through it. Eleanor pulled the ear buds from my ears and then fell into my desk chair.

"Damn girl, you look like hell" Zeena said, while blowing a pink bubble gum from her mouth and then letting it smack loudly as it popped.

"You know, people like Niall are hard to deal with" Eleanor said while filing her nails as she sat on my bed.

I turned over on my bed "Your girls are completely fire. You both are terrible at giving comfort to a person"

They laughed. "Tell me if I'm wrong but, if I give you my car keys you would drive straight over to his place" said Zeena.

"I would not!" I protested, sitting down on my bed

"Of course you wouldn't" said Eleanor.

"It's 3:30 in the afternoon. He's probably still hangover from last night" Just then, I hear a faint knock on my bedroom door. Zeena walked and turned the knob. The door slowly opened, revealing Niall on the doorway.
