How It All Fell Into Place.. (Zerrie story)

Skype Call Turns Into A Plan

Zayn's P.O.V

When I went out for a drive to clear my head, I came to realize that I haven't spoken to the boys in two days, and when you're that close with your best friends, that's a long time. So after I sent Don and Perrie out for their little bonding session, I decided to Skype the boys. I texted them five minutes beforehand, and they all agreed. They were already online, probably talking to each other before I texted them. I immediately got a call to join a group that was already made. Yep, they were talking before. I accepted(obviously) then four faces popped up on three different screens.

Louis was on the far right, Liam in the middle, Niall and Harry on the far left and a little picture of me in the top right-hand corner.

"Hey lads!" I say, waving.

"Hellooooo!!!" Louis shouted, waving way to over-enthusiastically.

"Hey Zen." Harry said. I glared at him, because he knew i dont like that nickname that the fans gave me. They say it's how I say it but no.

"Hey, Hazza boo." I smirk.

"Whats happening, lads?" Liam asked.

"Not much, chillin with Nialler here." Harry said.

"I've just been hanging out with El. Nothing interesting." Louis said boredly.

"Li? You alright?" Niall asked, staring at Liam's screen, which made us all look at him.

"Mate, are you crying?" I asked.

"No shit Zayn!" He half yelled.

"Woah, woah calm down! What's wrong?" Louis asked, obviously thinking he caused this problem.

"I-I broke up with Sophia." Liam said quietly, looking down.

"What? Why?" Harry and I asked at the same time.

"I.. It wasn't feeling right, it was so hard to do. I couldn't get her alone, she said 'Anything you can say to me, you can say in front of my friends' so I told her I thought we needed to break up and then she slapped me." He said quietly, before bursting into tears again.

"She slapped you?!" Louis shouted, making us all wince from the loudness coming from our speakers.

"Y-Yeah."

"What the hell! Why didnt you do something?!"

"What could I have done Lou? I'm one-fifth on One Direction! If I did something bad it would have been all over twitter and T.V and I'd be thrown in jail for fucking 'women abuse'!"

"He has a point." Harry said, filling in the awkward silence that came after Liam spoke.

"Oh Liam, mate. Sorry." I said. There was a noise coming from downstairs. I heard giggling and concentrated on that instead of the conversation at hand.

"Hey, guys. I'll be back, OK? I think Perrie's home."

"Where'd she go?" Niall asked.

"Shopping, with Doniya."

"Mate! That's like, sending a zebra into a pack of lions!" Harry cried.

"Don't think so. They're giggling. I'll be back." I say, just before the door swung open, Perrie stood there with piles of bags in her arms. I went over and took half the bags, placing on the bed. Perrie did the same, then came and kissed me quickly.

"Babe, I'm Skyping the lads, want to join?" I ask her, pulling her in for a hug.

"Yeah, sure! If that's alright?" She asked. She always got insecure when she's talking to the boys, but she doesn't know that they love her almost as much as me, almost.
