Mr. Payne - Ziam

Eleven - Befour

Wednesday

I snapped out of my nightmare, sitting up on the bed quickly. I was breathing heavily and my hands were shaking. "Zayn, you okay?", Liam asked placing his hand on my bare back. "Yea", I breathed out shakily and he sat up next to me. "Had a nightmare?", he asked and I nodded. He pulled me to his chest and I sighed. "It's fine now, I'm here", he said running his hand through my hair and I smiled a bit. "Thanks", I said and calmed down. When I was feeling better, I pulled away from the hug and smiled a little to Liam.

"Do you want breakfast?", he asked and I nodded a bit. "Yea, sure", I said and he smiled. "Let's go then", he said pulling me up from the bed. "Can I put my shirt on?", I asked with a chuckle and he smirked. "Nah, I like you like that", he said and I looked down blushing. "I'm just kidding, of course you can", he said and I picked up my shirt from the floor. I pulled it over my head and followed Liam out of the room.

"What do you want?", Liam asked and I bit my lower lip. "Can I just have like cereal?", I asked with a chuckle and Liam nodded smiling. "Of course", he said and I smiled at him. He took out the cereal, bowls, spoons and milk. "Thanks", I said and he nodded smiling. I poured some cereal in the bowl and milk after that. I put the spoon in the bowl too and walked to the table. I sat down and started to eat. After a while Liam sat opposite from me with his cereal.

"I'm giving you a ride to school today, right?", Liam asked and I shrugged. "I guess but people can't see us", I said and he nodded. "They won't", he said and I nodded. "Can I shower?", I asked and Liam chuckled. "Yes, you can", he said a bit mockingly and I rolled my eyes chuckling. "Can I borrow your clothes too?", I asked and he nodded. "Of course", he said and I nodded smiling. "Okay", I said and finished my cereal.

"Just take any clothes you want and there's towels in the bathroom closet", Liam said and I nodded. "Thank you", I said, jogging upstairs. I walked to his dresser and pulled out black sweats and a black hoodie. I walked in the bathroom with the clothes, set them down on the counter and stripped my clothes off. I stepped in the shower, washed myself and stepped out. I took a towel from the closet and dried myself. I put the clothes on and left the towel in the bathroom. I walked back in Liam's room and smiled a bit to him.

"I'm gonna have a shower", Liam said and I nodded. "And I like your outfit", he said smirking and I chuckled shaking my head a little. "Okay, go on now", I said pushing him in the bathroom. I sat on his bed and scrolled through my phone. After a while Liam stepped back in the room only wearing boxers and I quickly took my eyes off of him.

"Okay, I'm done", he spoke and I looked up. I nodded, got up from the bed and shoved my phone in my pocket. I shoved my keys, cigarettes and lighter in my pockets too. "I don't have my backpack", I said and turned to look at Liam. "It's okay, I feel like you won't need it because there's only few days of school left", Liam said and I nodded. "I guess", I said and we walked downstairs. We pulled our shoes on and stepped out of the house. We got in Liam's car and he started it.

"Zayn, are you okay?", Liam asked and I looked at him. "Yea, why?", I asked. "You seem a bit off", he said and I nodded. "My dad killed himself five years ago this day", I said quietly and bit my lower lip. "Oh, I'm sorry", he said and I nodded. "It didn't really bother me much before but now that I don't have any family, it kinda gets to me, I guess", I said and Liam nodded. "If you need to talk, I'm here", he said and I gave him a small smile. "Thanks", I said and he smiled.

We arrived to the school and got out of the car. "I'll see you later", I said walking away. I walked to the back of the school and leaned against the wall, next to Louis. "What's up?", he asked and I shrugged fishing a cigarette from my pocket. "Today is a bad day so don't like make it worse", I told him, lit the cigarette and sucked on it. "Okay", he said and did the same to his cigarette. I breathed out the smoke closing my eyes and leaned my head on the wall behind me.
