Three Way Relationship

39 - No more Drama, please?

Zayn's POV

Paul and I raced up the stairs, determined to get home before Justin does.

I don't want him to think I wasn't there, so I'm praying we got home before he thinks so.

Just as we ran passed Liam's door, I heard Liam call for me.

I stopped, Paul knocking straight into my back.

"Li, I'm in a rush." I said quickly.

"Justin's in my apartment, Zayn." Liam chuckled.

I moved around Paul and ran to Liam.

"Is he okay? Can I go see him?" I asked.

"Of course." Liam chuckled, "But he's fallen asleep on my couch so..."

I rushed passed Liam and into his flat, smiling once the lounge came.into view.

Justin was curled up, wrapped in one of Liam's blankets, and fast asleep.

I quietly walked to him, gently sitting beside him so he was behind me as I sat on the couch.

I smiled down at Justin, liking how he was so calm and relaxed.

"Okay, he's okay..." Paul sighed in relief.

I looked up at him, "Does he have to go back to Pattie's?"

"Yeah." Paul sighed. I frowned. "But, I'll let him stay with you and tell Pattie and Jeremy that Justin is okay and staying with a girl from school, alright?" Paul smiled.

I smiled back at him thankfully.

Liam walked into the lounge, biting his bottom lip.

"I gotta go, I'll pop in soon to check on him, okay?"

I nodded at Paul, watching as he walked out of the flat.

"He was upset, Zayn." Liam said once Paul was gone.

I furrowed my brows, "About?"

"I'm not sure, but he looked pretty down. I went up to see if you were home and he was sitting beside the door, frowning and looking tired. I took him to mine and he instantly fell asleep on the couch..." Liam sighed.

I ran my hand through Justin's hair, sighing.

"Li, can you go open up my door and hold it open while I carry Justin up?" I asked him.

"Sure, keys?" Liam smiled.

I chuckled him the keys before turning to Justin.

I placed one arm under his arms and back, and the other under his knees before lifting him bridal style.

Justin curled up, pressing his face into my shoulder. I smiled as I headed out the flat and upstairs.  

"Za-Zayn?" Justin mumbled. I glanced down at him.

His eyes were barely open, so he was half asleep.

"Yeah?" I smiled.

"Hm.." Justin hummed, falling back asleep.

He must be pretty tired.

I made it up the last step then walked the short distance into our flat.

Liam was holding the door while I entered.

"Thanks Liam." I said, heading to the bedroom.

"Keys are on the table beside the door. Bye Zayn!" Liam called out.

"Bye!" I shouted back, laying Justin on the bed.

I heard the front door close, signalling Liam had left.
