you and Zayn have been together now for about 4 years now. you and Zayn were together before he went on the x factor. however, when One Direction signed with Modest! management, they didn’t think you and Zayn shouldn’t stay together and made you two stay apart while in public.
at first you were okay with the arrangement because you wouldn’t have to deal with hate from fans since they would have no idea you even existed. but that all changed when Modest! forced Zayn to get into a relationship from Perrie Edwards from Little Mix.
*Zayn comes home from work one day*
though you are meant to stay apart in public, you and Zayn are living together so you get to spend more time together when he isn’t working.
today Zayn was working really hard on their third album so you made sure that you weren’t going to do anything to frustrate him anymore than he already was.
“Hi baby!” you said to Zayn, walking up to him and pecking him on the lips. he had just walked in and you can tell there is something really bothering him.
“Hi darling. how are you?” Zayn said pulling you into a hug. he never hugged you out of nowhere like that unless he was upset about something so that just confirmed what you already knew.
being in a relationship with Zayn for 4 years, there is nothing he can really hide from you. you know him too well to not see when he is feeling down.
“im fine but what i want to know is, how are you?” you said pulling away a little from the hug so you could look into his eyes.
for a moment you two just stood there staring into each others eyes, waiting for an answer. Zayn was conflicted, you could tell because he was scrunching up his forehead like he was thinking way too hard.
“well... management said that i have to go to the Teen Choice Awards this Sunday...” Zayn said very slowly and softly spoken.
“And? we are going to go anyways.” you said, unsure why he all of sudden didn’t want to go anymore.
“they said i have to go with Perrie...” Zayn almost whispered. no wonder he was upset, he had plans to go with you as a “friend” but they were making him go with her instead.
“babe, this isn’t the first award show you’ve had to go to with Perrie, everything will be alright.” you said pushing a little bit of hair off his still scrunched up forehead.
“its not that i have to go with her thats bothering me.” He said pulling away from you, walking to the kitchen.
“well what is it then?” you said starting to get frustrated with him. he wasn’t telling you anything so there was no way for you to help him. Zayn gets in these “i'll handle it myself” moods sometimes where you have to pull him back into reality and get him to let you help. this was going to be one of those times, you could already tell.
