CHAOTIC LOVE - ZARRY

Chapter 7

Zayn wakes up to an empty space next to him, he sees a piece of paper neatly folded on the pillow, 'Went to grab breakfast, I won't take long since you wake up late anyway. XX Lou'

He smiles while reading it, Louis knows him too well.

The door opens and Louis walks to the bed sitting next to him, "Morning sleepy head!"

"Morning" he mumbles.

"Guess what?" Louis smiles widely while handing him two cards, he looks at them seeing them as IDs, he looks back at Louis frowning, "Did you trade those for your necklace? And I already told you Lou, we won't be staying here! We've been through this!" he sits up on the bed facing Louis.

Louis sighs the smiles again, "No, you idiot. I didn't trade my necklace" he sees Zayn's confused looks, he understands, he never took off his necklace. "Zee, we're not in a horrible place that stops me from using my magic anymore. This is the land of the free! I was chatting to this girl and managed to borrow her ID"

He remembers Louis's abilities of changing stuff into another so he's not surprised, he's just annoyed. Louis wants to stay while he doesn't.

"Louis, I almost walked into Harry. I can't face him again, we'll be in jail in no time"

"Just play innocent!"

"Louis, I don't want to have to pretend ..."

"To be someone else?" Louis pauses and gives him a sad smile then continues, "Look, Zee, you did what you needed to do" Zayn wasn't a bad guy, but people here would never understand what they both went through. He simply had to do it.

"It's not like we can walk around telling people who we really are Zee, it doesn't work that way. Even if we moved to another town, then what? The same will happen there too, and at the end of the day, we'll still be pretending"

Zayn stares at Louis for some time, he's not entirely convinced. But he's right.

"Just carry on with the little white lie. And go get dressed, I found a place where we can provide stable income that doesn't involve fucking or stealing" Louis smiles widely at his friend and pats his shoulder then getting up and taking their breakfast out.

He got up and changed then they both headed out reaching the same restaurant the he went to yesterday, what if Harry was a regular? The guilt won't leave him be.

"They are short on waiters and they provide a good pay" Louis whispered to him once they're in. They both smiled at the manager, showed him their fake IDs, talked a bit about what they're to do and which hours of the day they'll be serving. Zayn was more than happy when he knew that they were given a night shift, he doesn't like to wake up early. They signed some papers and got to meet their colleagues. People were overall kind. Maybe it won't be that bad after all.

"Wanna grab some food?"

Niall didn't live in the castle and he wasn't that much of a good cook so he often dragged Harry along with him to the same restaurant. They served good food and the treatment was very nice. They went in and sat down, ordered their food and waited.

"I'm just gonna head to the bathroom before the food arrives" Niall excused himself. He bumped into some waiter on the way making the waiter drop a plate. He looked furious, "Dude, what the hell?!" Niall just stared at the boy, he was so beautiful, his eyes were mesmerizing. The boy just scoffed at him bending down and cleaning the mess when he got no response. "Sorry, I just .." He cleared his throat, "I didn't see you here before, I'm Niall" he extends his hands for the boy who just stood up once more.
