*Zayn's P.O.V.*

I watched her give me a weak smile before walking out of the club. My mind was screaming , pleading at me to go after her but my feet were glued to the floor. Someone smacked my arm and I looked up to Sierra staring at me as if I was an idiot.

"Well don't just stand there you idiot! Go after her , run!"Sierra exclaimed pushing me towards the door. I looked back at Aina who smiled and nodded , mouthing for me to go after her. I grinned at her before I burst through the door.

I looked down both sides till I noticed a short figure walking down the pavements. I ran down the pavement after her. Ad I got closer I noticed she was shivering and sniffling.

"Fay..."I whispered , carefully placing my hand on her shoulder. She jumped before turning around to face me. She looked up at me shocked as she wiped away the tears that were streaming down her face.

"Don't cry , please , please don't cry."I whispered as I wiped away her tears with my thumb before leaning my forehead against hers. She closed eyes tight trying to keep back the tears as I stared down at her beautiful features.

"You're absolutely beautiful , you know that right?"I whispered to her as I leant down kissing her cheeks. She laughed with no humor at all as she shook her head. She opened her eyes , they were rimmed red and glossy from crying.

"Yeah , a beautiful who-"I shook my head at her as I closed my eyes , pinching the bridge my noise.

"Don't say that , please don't ever say that. It's the biggest lie out there. You're not what he says at all. You're absolutely amazing. Okay?"I asked her lifting up her limp hands in my own staring into her eyes.

"Thanks Zayn but , I think you're girlfriend is waiting back there for you. You should go and meet up with her."Fay said weakly as she tore my hands away from her face , taking a few steps back.

"That doesn't matter right now , my main concern is you at the moment. Come on , let's drive you home."I said as grabbed her hand in mind walking back to my car. She didn't protest and followed silently.

"Are you gonna be fine staying at your house?"I asked her after we got in the car. I started it up putting the heater on to keep her warm. She shook her head silently.

"No , can I stay at your house please? If not than I'll call up someone else."She whispered with a broken voice. It pained me to see her like this , so I leant over wrapping my arms around her bringing her into a tight hug.

"You don't even need to ask to stay at my place , you know that Fay."She just nodded as I pulled away and left the club. I quickly texted Aina telling her that I'd pick her up right after I dropped off Fay but she told me she didn't need a ride.

"C'mon Fay."I said as she exited the car slowly. I picked her up bridal style because she was just walking to slow for my liking. I walked through my house and up the stairs.

"You can borrow some of my clothes if you want and there's extra blankets at the foot of the bed if you're cold."I answered as I tossed her some of my clothes. She left to the bathroom as I quickly got dressed.

"Night love."I mumbled about to walk out the door.

"Wait Zayn,"Fay called as I turned looking at her expectantly,"stay...Stay with me please.."She pleaded , her brown eyes begging me. I gave her a small smile as I nodded.

I got under the covers as she got in next to me. I could tell it would take her a while to fall asleep so I wrapped my arms around her placing my head on her shoulder.

"And I'll be gone , gone tonight. The ground beneath my feet is open wide , the way that I been holdin' on to tight , with nothing in between...the story of my life , I take her home , I drive all night to keep her warm."I sang quietly to her.

I could tell she was falling asleep so I continued singing.

"Zayn , have you ever loved somebody , like truly loved somebody but , you were to afraid to tell them?"She questioned me after I had finished singing to her. I smiled to myself as I nodded

"Yes , I have actually."I said as o stared down at her , the same smile still on my face.

"Who was it? Was it Aina?"She asked sadly. I stared at her confused as I shook my head.

"To tell you the truth no , it wasn't Aina. I was , still kinda am actually , in love with a girl I'm good friends with , she's everything a guy could ever want and more. She's absolutely beautiful not only on the outside but on the inside as well."

"She's so strong and independent , it's absolutely incredible. She's made a huge impact on my life and even though she's younger than me , I see her as a role model. She's very inspirational and she's been through so much."

"I don't know how I would've survived if I was in her shoes but , she doesn't seem to see me in the same way. In other words I've kinda been...Friendzoned by her."I sighed , shrugging a bit at the end.

"What? Is the girl stupid or something? How could someone ever friendzone you Zayn?"She asked with such shock on her face I almost laughed. I chuckled as I smirked at Fay.

"No she's not stupid , I just think it's the fact that she's to afraid for a commitment especially one with a friend. She's to scared to lose someone again and I respect that but , I can't wait forever."I frowned.

"Well just...man up and tell her that you love her Zayn. I'm sure it's gonna be hard with the fact that you're with Aina but if you truly love this other girl I say go for it."Fay said she faked a smile but I could see a sadness in her eyes.

"You really think that'll work?"I asked her as I studied her face and eyes. Fay nodded bit though she seemed to be thinking about it.

"I think so yes , I mean who could reject you? You have it in the bag babe."She mumbled looking down at her lap.

"I'll ask her in a bit."I said with a smile. Fay rolled her eyes scolding me.

"Zayn ask her tomorrow , I'm sure the girl is trying to sleep right now."Fay said flixjing my forehead.

"Nah , I don't think she's asleep."I said with a 'secretive' tone.

"Whatever , I'm going to sleep."Fay said as she turned away from me and closed her eyes. I sighed leaning against my headboard as I stared down at her.

"Fay...You awake?"I whispered to her after a while of silence and thinking.

"Yeah.."She mumbled.

"Can I tell you something?"I asked her nervously. She sighed as she sat up turning to face me raising an eyebrow.

"Continue. This better be important since you woke me up."She grumbled. I frowned , as I looked down.

"Oh...I'll ask you some other time than. Just go back to sleep."I said as I went to lay down but I was stopped by a small hand grabbing onto my bicep.

"Zayn , I was just joking. What's on your mind?"Fay asked. I fiddled with my fingers as I tilted my head from side to side.

"Well , there's really is no easy way to put this , I mean if there was I probably would've told you a long time ago believe I had planned to but I never did , I should've though."I started rambling.

"Zayn!"

"Sorry! Okay Fay , I-I.."I closed my eyes as I took in deep breath before opening up my eyes again and staring in Fay's.

"Faylen , I'm in love with you."
