I walked from the kitchen, placing a cup of coffee in front of him. He gladly took it, taking a large sip before setting it back down. I sat across from him, watching him quietly. He took in a deep breath and used both of his hands to rub his face tiredly. I frowned and leaned back, observing my best friend. He didn't look like he used to.

He was definitely much thinner, his eyes were dull and held almost no emotion giving them a dazed, lifeless look. I knew what this was. I went through the same thing when Louis left me for Eleanor. I wanted to hear it from him though. He needed to admit it to me and himself. Zayn sighed deeply and looked away.

"I love him. He.. I told him. Over break. He was over at mine and I kissed him. He kissed back and we, we.. I let him..." He trailed off and tears filled his eyes, wiping them away quickly and taking in a shaky breath. My eyes widened. 

"We had sex. It was more than just sex though. He told me he loved me right after and we fell asleep, but when I woke up he was gone. I called him and he told me that he had to leave. That it was a mistake. That over he had met a girl, Sophia. He said it meant nothing to him, it was just a fuck." He cut off, fighting the tears that threatened to fall.

I moved over from my spot, sitting next to him and wrapping my arm around his shoulder. He leaned into my side and cried. 

"Then over break he didn't talk to me at all. I had to see pictures of him with her." He turned his face into my shoulder and sobbed. I ran my hand over his back soothingly.

"Then today he pulled me into the bathroom, pushed me against the wall and kissed me.It started to go farther than just kissing. You walked in and he glared at me like it was my fault. He told me he wasn't gay and how much he loved Sophia. I cried and he told me that he wanted me to stay away from him for now because he needed time to think." He sniffled and wiped his cheeks.

"He fucked me then got a girlfriend.He must really hate me. It's like he wanted to hurt me! And good for him because it's working." He laughed again bitterly.

"Z.. He doesn't hate you, and I know for a fact that he didn't want to hurt you. You're his best friend and he'd never do that to you. To anyone." I murmured, running a hand through his soft hair. He just shook his head, body shaking from quiet sobs slipping out of his mouth. 

"He probably has feelings he doesn't understand. He's just.. Confused. He's trying to figure out what he wants, he doesn't realize how much he's hurting you in the process." I added but he stayed silent.

"I don't understand what I did to deserve this?" It''s like listening to me before I tried to kill myself. I sighed and looked down into those deep brown eyes that finally held an emotion. But it was something I didn't want to see. 

"I used to feel exactly like that before. But I learned it too late. You deserve to be loved. You don't deserve to hurt like this. But it's part of being in love. You have to be prepared to get hurt. And no matter what, at some point, being in love hurts us. But it's if you can push through it and keep loving is what matters." 

"I couldn't. I tried to end it, I tried to give up. What I found out is giving up doesn't end the pain, it just ends the chances of it getting better. So you can't give up. If you love him, you have to be patient. But I know he loves you, It's in his eyes when he looks at you. It always has been. I know it sounds stupid and it feels impossible but just wait Zayn. It'll get better."

It was two days later I got the call. it was around two in the morning and I woke up to the sound of my phone going off. I untangled myself from Louis without waking him up and picked the phone up quickly so it didn't wake him up. 

"Hello?" No one answered so I looked at who it was and frowned.

"Zayn?" And suddenly Zayn was crying, stuttering out words, gasping for air. I couldn't understand a word he was saying. 

"Zayn? Zayn! Calm down and talk to me!" Louis' eyes fluttered open and he groaned, pulling me down, back to his chest. 

"H-Harry! I need you! I.. I.." He began to cry harder and I couldn't understand the rest of his sentence. 

"Zayn! I'll be there in ten!" I hung up and pushed myself out of Louis' arms, pulling on sweats and a top quickly. I pecked Lou's lips before he could say anything and grabbed the keys.

"I'll be back. Something's wrong with Zayn. I love you. Try and get back to sleep." I whispered against his lips and he nodded sleepily.

"Call me if you need me." He mumbled before falling back on the bed. I jogged out to the car, getting in and speeding to Zayn's. It didn't take long, seeing as how late it was, there weren't many people out. 

I knocked on the door loudly and waited for him to answer before remembering that I had a key to all the boy's places. Taking it out and putting it in the lock, I turned it and slowly opened the door.

"Zayn?" I called out and before I could take another step a body crashed into mine. I stumbled but caught myself on the wall. I looked down and was met with familiar black hair in my face. 

"Zayn? What's wrong? What's happened?" I closed the door, leading us over to the couch. He cried into my shirt and I pushed him back a bit so I could look into his red eyes. 

"He-He.. He came over and told me he wanted to be with me. And then said that he was leaving with Sophia for a while, because he needed to get over me. Because he can't love me and he has to love her. He's leaving Harry!" To say I was shocked with an understatement. Liam was leaving?

How could he do that to Zayn? To us? What was going to happen to the band? I had lots of questions in my mind but now I needed to focus on Zayn. So I held him while he cried, humming quietly in an attempt to calm him down. 

All I did know was everything was about to be flipped upside down and I had no idea what would happen next.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

DUN DUN DUN! To be honest, I have no idea where I'm going with this. This isn't what I wanted to happen but I just kind of wrote it. It just happened. And I don't want to rewrite it. I think this is a good flip to it. So I'm just going to go with it and let the writing write itself. But tell me what you think should happen?

Commnet, vote, follow. Whatever:*
