"Zayn, I need you to come back. I'm performing in two days, and the song doesn't work without you." Liam said, wishing Zayn would look at him.

The two of them were talking on Skype, however, Zayn was busy drawing.

"Can't Liam. I've got so many ideas now, and I know there are more to come." Zayn said, shading in the leaves on a tree he drew.

"We recorded that song together. We have to perform it together too." Liam told him.

"Plus you've been over there for almost a week." He added.

"I intended on staying for longer than that, Liam." Zayn reminded him.

Although, even if it had only been a week, Zayn missed sleeping in his own bed.

He certainly didn't miss Los Angeles though.

"Isn't a week enough to see a little and get some ideas?" Liam asked.

"No, and I can't just leave." Zayn said.

"Why not?" Liam asked, staring at him.

"Because I met someone. We've become friends and he'd be sad if I left." Zayn spoke truthfully.

"Oh c'mon." Liam scoffed, chuckling. "Seriously?"

"Yeah, he's helped me out a lot. I don't want to just leave him." Zayn admitted.

"Get his Skype or something if he means that much to you." Liam said.

"Look, postpone the performance for another few days and I'll come, okay? Just give me a few more days." Zayn negotiated.

Liam sighed. "Fine."

"So...who's this guy?" Liam smirked.

"Boy, more like. His name is Harry, and he's only eighteen." Zayn said.

"Wow. Like them young, don't you?" Liam teased.

"It isn't like that. He's cute. Like, you want to put him in your pocket or pat his head, you know? I feel like I need to protect him." Zayn explained.

"I see. So you don't find him attractive?" Liam asked, hoping Zayn would move on from Niall.

He couldn't stand that twink.

"Nah. I mean, he's attractive but it's a visual thing. I wouldn't mind painting him or something, but he's not my type." Zayn shrugged.

"So now you have a type?" Liam chuckled. "Don't tell me it's Niall."

"No, I'm just saying I don't see Harry as someone I'd want to....do stuff with. He's probably still a virgin anyway. He's just....cute." Zayn shrugged again.

"Like in a you want to squeeze him type of way." He added.

"Oh, so like you are?" Liam smiled.

"I'm not cute. I can still kick your ass, even if you've got bigger biceps." Zayn reminded him.

"Right, of course." Liam chuckled.

Zayn smiled, seeing that he and Liam had been talking for over an hour.

"Are we done here? I'd like to get some rest."

"Suppose so. I'll call you in a couple days." Liam said.

"Okay. Night." Zayn smiled.

"Night Z." Liam smiled back at him before he ended the call.

"Do they ever feed you at that school?" Louis asked, watching how much and how quickly Harry was eating.
