*** Zayn’s POV ***

My loud thumping head only got worse when I was forced to wake up from my deep sleep by the piercing squeals and yells of the boys jumping on my bed. They knew how much I loved my sleep, especially at times like this when I needed to recover from the dreadful effects of a hangover. I stubbornly kept my eyes shut and pretended their rowdiness wasn’t affecting me, irrationally thinking if I did so, they would go away. But I knew better than that, of course they wouldn’t stop. They are the ‘Kings of Banter’. 

"IT’S TIME TO GET UPPP!!! IT’S TIME TO GET UUUUUP! IT’S TIME TO GETTTT UUPPP!!!!! IT’S! TIME! TO! GET! UP!" they sang over and over again, jumping everywhere like chipmunks on caffeine,

Liam had belly flopped on top of me while Harry and Lou were pulling at my arms and hair, with Niall yelling to the top of his lungs with his guitar. I had no option but to get up. 

I opened my eyes to four faces of cheeky grins. 

"Good morning babe, or should I say.. afternoon!!?" Lou said only centimetres away from my face,

"C’mon then sleepy head, get up, we’ve got lunch ready downstairs! You need some food in you." Liam chirped squishing my cheeks,

They all left the room and made their way downstairs as I sat up on the bed resting my head on the headboard. I looked around the room and realised I was in the spare bed inside of Harry and Lou’s apartment. How did I get here?I thought. I tried to fight off my headache to desperately search for answers inside my mind of how I got here and what exactly happened last night. 

And then, it hit me. My eyes widened as the memories came rushing through, "Oh fuck!", I threw the covers over me and sprinted downstairs to see the boys. What the fuck did I do? Or more like why the fuck did I do it! Absolute instant regret filled inside of me. How could I do that to someone so important to me?

I finally reached the boys and practically collapsed the top half of my body onto the dining table, shocking them all.

"Someones hungry!" Harry poked,

"That would be me," Niall answered,

”..Zayn? Are you alright?” Lou asked,

Liam had stood up from his seat and placed his arm around my shoulder trying to make eye contact with me as I shook my head, closing my eyes. "Holly." I let out,"Why did I do that?" 

They all sighed and got up from their seats to stand around me. "I tried to warn you.. you wouldn’t listen." Lou said,

"She’s never going to talk to me again.." I frustratedly clenched my fists and walked a few steps away from them,

"What’s the deal with you and that girl? I don’t get how she convinced you to leave randomly in the morning to go clubbing in Liverpool." Niall asked,

"I don’t know Niall! I don’t know why I did it. I just did it. Alright?" I was so angry with myself my tone came off a little too stern, "Fuck, I’m sorry Niall, I’m just so" .. "It’s okay Zayn," Niall said coming closer to me, giving me a hug,

"Boys, I’ve gotta fix this. I need Holly." I sighed, 

"We know. And we’re here for you." Lou replied patting me on the back,

"She’s never going to forgive me.. I just know it.."

"She will." Harry said, "I’ve seen the way she looks at you. We’ve all seen it. She’ll forgive you."
