One Direction Bromance One-Shots

For Good ~ Ziall

I've heard it said

That people come into our lives for a reason

Bringing something we must learn

"What are you doing here, Zayn? I told you to leave me alone."

"I know, but...I just can't stay away."

And we are led

To those who help us most to grow

If we let them

And we help them in return

"I don't care."

"I walked here in the rain, Niall. I'm not leaving until you let me inside, and let me explain. Can't you just at least give me that?"

"Well, what the fuck have you given me?"

"Love..."

"Hardly."

Well, I don't know if I believe that's true

But I know I'm who I am today

Because I knew you...

"Please. You know I love you."

"I don't know shit anymore. You've changed."

Like a comet pulled from orbit

As it passes a sun

Like a stream that meets a boulder

Halfway through the wood

"And why do you suppose that is?"

"I don't know, Zayn. I really don't fucking know what would make a person so twisted as to cheat on their supposed significant other. I never should have listened to you."

"It was because of you, love."

Who can say if I've been changed for the better?

But because I knew you

I have been changed for good

"You know, you're not very good at raising a lad's self esteem."

"There was a reason I never told you about what I did. What I used to do. I know you're not going to believe it now, and you probably never will, but it's not the worst thing I've ever done. And it's definitely not because I didn't love you."

"Then why? Enlighten me - preferably before I decide that I never want to see you again."

It well may be

That we will never meet again

In this lifetime

So let me say before we part

"Tell me what you know about having an addiction, Niall."

"...You have to be fucking kidding me. Of all the stupid things you've ever done-,"

So much of me

Is made of what I learned from you

You'll be with me

Like a handprint on my heart

"Listen, Niall. You know I couldn't have done anything else. I don't have money. It was the only way. You weren't supposed to know. Please, don't be mad at me. You know I can't handle living without you. Please..."
