Like I Never Loved You At All {Sequel To Life's Highway}

Chapter Thirteen-Maybe A Little Bit

"...So," Zayn started. "I'm allowed to tell you guys that Darian's pregnant now."

"Congratulations," Liam said as he took a sip of his drink. "Again."

Harry nodded in agreement as he say back in his chair, the recording studio was empty but that were still sitting there, silence filling the room.

"Hey have any of you heard from Lou or Eidee lately?" Zayn asked looking from Liam to Harry to Niall.

"No," Harry shrugged. "I was hoping Louis said something to you guys 'cause he hasn't been answering me."

"I haven't spoken to Lou or Eidee since Eidee was over when we were recording." Niall added. "I would ask Chan if Eidee mentioned anything but we're not speaking."

"Well I don't blame her," Liam replied. "You cheated on her."

"I never cheated on her."

"Well according to the Internet you did."

Harry nodded. "Oh Carly wants to kick your ass, good luck mate."

"I didn't fucking cheat on her, she knows that." Niall snapped.

"Then why isn't she speaking to you?" Liam countered.

"Because she's p-never mind..."

"She's what?"

"I think I'm gonna go to Louis'." Zayn announced before Niall could reply. "You know, see if he's there."

"I've gotta get home." Niall said. "Arizona won't go to sleep unless I read her a bedtime story."

"Ooh so she prefers you over Chantelle?" Harry smirked.

Niall rolled his eyes as he got up from his seat. "No, but the kids are mostly with Chantelle during the day so Ari refuses to go to sleep 'til I'm home."

"And if your out to late Chantelle might assume your cheating." Liam mused.

"I'm not cheating so it doesn't matter-see you's tomorrow."

Niall walked out of the room leaving the three alone. There was a BANG from Niall slamming the door shut echoing through out the room but besides that it was total silence; awkward silence.

"Recording tomorrow?" Zayn asked as he rose from his seat next to Liam.

Harry nodded "Yep."

"Well, I'll see you guys then."

Zayn didn't even bother knocking on Louis' front door, he just opened the door-surprised it was unlocked-and walked in without a second thought.

"Louis!" Zayn shouted as he looked from around the foyer. "Lou!"

"It's fucking nine at night!" Louis' annoyed voice shouted back.

Zayn rolled his eyes. "Yeah recording was nine in the morning-oh wait you didn't come!"

Zayn walked through the house briskly entering the living room where Louis was lying on the lounge; beer in hand.

"Are you drunk?" Zayn asked as he looked around the room.

"Maybe a little bit, nearly kind wish I was." Louis shrugged.

"And Eidee's okay with that?"

"Eidee isn't here so why should I care what she thinks?"

"Is Tellie here?"

"Where else would she be?"

"So, your here drunk with an seven year old?"

"I'm not that drunk, but yeah problem?"

"Where the fucks Eidee?"

Louis shrugged. "Paris, Brazil, Italy, actually she probably went to China-no she'll stand out there maybe not..."

"Lou what a-"

"Read this." Louis snapped throwing a piece of paper at Zayn. Zayn read the all the messy writing his eyes widening in shock.

"Lou-"

"That's why I'm drunk, that's why I've been drunk every night for a week, now goodbye Zayn wish I could say nice seeing you but it wasn't."

"A week? You've been drunk all week?"

"That's what I said."

"Where the fucks Tellie?" Zayn snapped throwing the letter back at Louis. Zayn wasn't hesitant, he didn't at all feel comfortable with the idea of his niece here. Not knowing Louis was drinking.

"Sleeping." Louis replied smoothly. "Why?"

"You just told me you've been wasted every night and you expect me to just leave Tellie with you?"

"Yes I do."

"Hell no! You're fucking drunk Louis, fucking drunk."

"I'm aware of that."

"Then you understand why I'm not leaving Tellie with you." Zayn sneered before stalking out of the room.

"What the fuck?" Louis snapped as he got up from the lounge following Zayn.

"You can't take care of Tellie while your drunk."

"Well tomorrow I'll be sober," Louis shot back.

"Then what? You'll get drunk once she goes to bed?"

Louis didn't answer he just stared at Zayn his fists clenched.

Zayn scowled. "I'm not leaving Tellie with you."

"Yes you fucking will!" Louis snapped as Zayn walked towards the staircase. "Don't you dare fucking touch Tellie!"

"L-"

"Don't fucking touch her! My fiancé fucking left me, I'm not about to let you take my fucking daughter. You lay a single finger on her and you're dead Zayn!"

"You should've thought of that before you started getting drunk every night!"

"Get out of my fucking house Malik." Louis hissed. "Get the fuck out of my house!"

"I would if I knew you weren't going to get drunk tomorrow night!" Zayn shouted loudly anger flooding through his body. "What the fuck is wrong with you? You can't just get wasted everyday because your pissed that your fiancé left you! You have a fucking daughter! And if your gonna stay drunk all the time I'm taking Tellie with me."

Silence filled the room as Louis and Zayn both glared at each other, neither saying a word but both knowing exactly what the other was thinking.

"You think I'm gonna hurt her." Louis murmured. "Don't you? You think I'm gonna fucking hurt her."

Zayn clenched his jaw and pressed his lips into a thin line. "Don't take it personally Louis. People do crazy stuff when they're drunk. "

One thing let to another and soon Zayn's fist were clenched as he went to hit Louis' jaw.

Neither Louis or Zayn noticed Tellie standing at the top of the staircase watching Louis and Zayn in horror. Her face was completely full with fear as she watch Louis punch Zayn's abdomen.

Tellie couldn't stand it anymore, she ran down the hallway tears in her eyes trying to blink what she'd just seen out of her memory.
