Rock Me

Epilogue

"So, you two are together?" Harry asked with a glint of disappointment in his eyes as he scanned me and Zayn's interlocked hands and unmovable smiles plastered on our faces.

The class had just arrived back from their trip to L.A, and so me and Zayn decided to greet them when they returned. Eleanor was by my other side along with Louis, Niall was away with Liam somewhere- Harry was opposite us sitting on his suitcase with a hand under his chin staring intimidatingly at us both.

"Yes." I nodded, glancing up at Zayn as he smiled down at me. "It happened when you left really.." 

"Ah. I was wondering why the plane ride was so quiet." Harry chuckled, earning a smirk from Louis and myself. "Well, i think you two look great together." He added, honestly. The intercom switched on and a voice echoed throughout the airport to signal passengers to make their way to their needed plane for their paradise across the globe. 

"Thanks mate." Zayn nodded with a grin. "Not like i was looking for approval anyway.." He muttered in my ear before planting a kiss on my temple. I laughed, hitting his chest playfully. 

"It means a lot to me, i mean, us, Harry. It really does." I added cheerfully. 

Harry sighed, shaking his head and stepping forward. "I don't see why it does, things happen for a reason and you guys are obviously meant to be together. Even through all the arguments and hateful words you exchanged... it's young love in a nutshell basically." 

"I didn't think i'd see the day i agreed with you, Styles." Zayn shook his head in disbelief. 

"The past is just the past mate. I wouldn't hold it against you if i were payed too. Shall we move on?" Harry suggested, sticking his hand out in surrender. Zayn hesitated, and i nudged his ribs with my elbow to push him into agreeing on the truce. Come on Zayn. As if the angels answered my call, Zayns hand left mine to shake the other teens hand, and a genuine smile was exchanged between the two. Amen. 

"Does this count for us too?" Niall appeared behind Louis, peering over his shoulder watching the reunion. 

"What do you mean?" I asked curiously. 

"I mean, do you think we could..like.. make up?" Niall turned red at the cheeks as he glanced to Louis and Eleanor beside him, but truthfully, i knew he was mostly talking about himself and his old friend who he lost over something stupid. "I'm sorry, Zayn." Niall stared up at him, the fear evident in his posture and honestly, i felt for him. I wanted to run up and hug him he looked so vunerable compared to the boy who gets excited over an extra portion of chips in a takeaway who risks his life to keep them for his self. 

"Mate, i think it's me who needs to apologize." Zayn stepped forward, just meeting Niall's height. "I'm sorry for being a dick to you. To all of you, really." My heart skipped a beat at his genuine apology, his eyes mirrored sincerity and for that i admired him. He was finally being himself, not the Zayn Malik everyone was afraid of. 

"It's fine." Niall chuckled lowly. Zayn held out his hand for the Irish boy to shake, but instead of taking it, he flung his arms around the figure and patting his back as if they'd not seen each other for years. In a way, they hadn't. Zayn had presumably only just become Zayn again in Niall's eyes, they had only just seen the light, and so they are ready to make up the time they lost as friends. Zayn didn't hesitate to hug him back, in fact i swear i saw his eyes tearing up as they hugged it out.

Louis being the big softy he is ran into them to join in on the hug, screaming "Group hug!"  Eleanor was close behind wrapping her arms around Louis waist. Me and Harry exchanged looks as they all hugged in the middle of the airport, not caring about those around. In the end we just said 'what the hell', and wrapped our arms around the group. After about two minutes we pulled away with the brightest smiles, Niall and Zayn were trying their best to wipe away their tear stained cheeks but failed miserably. I giggled, reaching onto my tip toes to at least gain some height beside Zayn as i wiped his cheeks with my palms. He let out some chuckles as he sniffed, no longer caring that i saw him at his weakest. It was then i realized his weakness was happiness. That was when he crawled out from his shell to be who he was born to be- the total opposite to the bad boy Zayn Malik.

"Shall we all go for a Maccy D's?" Niall suggested out of the blue. 

"Why not?" Eleanor shrugged, pulling up the handle on her suitcase beginning to role it behind her as those with suitcases followed her actions. 

"Can i come, too? Plane food isn't satisfying enough for me.." Liam piped from behind us, running with his suitcase trailing behind him. 

"Of course! Don't see why not." I smiled. He grinned in return joining us. My arms were wrapped around Zayns waist from the side as his arm rested over my shoulder, his happiness was emanating from him, instantly warming my heart.  

No drama. 

No hate. 

Just happiness and smiles all around.. 

Things were better, and they were going to get even more amazing. I just knew it. 

No matter what, i knew i'd have these guys there for me when i need them.

Despite the drama in the last few months, the sacrifices i made and the decisions i had to think about.. this was pretty perfect.

Things could only get better, and if they didn't, i'd make sure they damn well do.
