I'm dedicating this chapter to @Lita_Lou my really close friend. Thank you for making all my covers Jess, you are such a sweetheart. <3

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zayn's POV:

Li! The cab is here, let's get to it. 

"Coming Zee."

Liam's emotional pain was quite noticeable. I really wish I could help him, oh wait.

"Li, what did one hat say to another?"

"Ummmm, I don't know, what?"

"You stay here I'll go on a head.

"Wow, that was so corny but thanks Zayn. I really do appreciate what you're trying to do".

He flashed a weak smile but it didn't fool him. The distinct feeling of heartbreak was still etched into his eyes. They said so much. 

The cab ride was fairly quick since it was still relatively early in the night. There was a bodyguard at the entrance and Liam flashed the tickets and we were ushered in.

The club was massive. It wasn't too packed.

"Hold tight Li. I'll order us some drinks." 

Liam's POV:

I really can't stop thinking about her. She was the light to my darkness, the sky to my ground. Without her, I feel incomplete. I can't even seem to enjoy myself.

"Is this seat taken?"

"My friend just went to get us drinks but I wouldn't mind some company."

"I'm Harry."

"Liam."

"So Liam, what has you so troubled? You honestly look like you've seen someone die mate. Do you want to talk about it? I know this may be come as odd but it's a new year and I'm trying to start the year off by being there for others and I think maybe you need someone that will listen.

"Harry, I appreciate it, I really do. It's just so hard ending the year off on such a depressing note. I loved my girlfriend, I really did. I put everything into that relationship; it was supposed to be her and I celebrating the New Year tonight. I come home to find her in the middle of sex with another man. I felt humiliated, worthless and honestly, I don't wanna celebrate the new year. I'm alone, I have no one". 

"You have your friend Liam, and you have me. She honestly didn't deserve someone as good-hearted as you and her actions clearly showed you who she really was. 

Zayn's POV:

"What can I get you?"

"Can I get 2 gin and tonics please?

"Sure, that'll be 10 pounds."

The bartender seemed to a very enthusiastic person since he really did seem to enjoy his job. He handed me the drink and before I knew it, a cute blonde bloke started giving me goggly eyes.

"Hey there, what's a pretty boy like you doing all by yourself on this fine New Years Eve."

It was really startling since I never expected to be hit on throughout the night. Generally, he's too quiet for anyone to really take notice. The blonde boy was indeed attractive; in fact he was oozing with sex appeal.

"First of all, I'm here with my best bud, secondly I'll take that as a compliment and lastly, you're not so bad yourself"; he chuckled.

 The blonde lad's face blushed. It was clear that there was some sexual tension in the mix.

"So, what's your name stranger?" the blonde bloke inquired.

"Zayn, yours?"

"Niall".

"That's a really unique name, oh and I take it you're not from around these parts? The Kiss Me I'm Irish t-shirt is making me believe that you're from Ireland but it's never good to make assumptions nowadays. So, tell me about yourself Niall."

"Well my name is Niall Horan and I moved from Ireland two years ago for college. I'm here with my best friends Harry and the bartender Louis. I'm 20 years old. I'm interested in guys and might I add that quiff suits you nicely. You really are one of a kind."

"That's sweet. Well I should tell you a bit about myself then. My name is Zayn Malik, I'm also 20. I'm here with my best friend Liam and I too bat for our team if you know what I mean."

"Well, that's good to know.", Niall cheekily grinned.

Right at that moment I felt someone's breath on my neck. It was warm and familiar but something didn't feel right. I glanced behind me and it was Li with some other guy. 

"So this is why you brought me along. To see you try to get a quick fuck, thanks Zayn. I thought we were friends but clearly you have other things on your mind. Consider our night and friendship over." 

Li went to the bartender and ordered half a dozen vodka shots. He downed them within seconds. It scared me. I went up behind him and tried to caress him. I didn't think much of talking with Niall at the time but it was selfish. This night was supposed to be about Liam, about our friendship. I clearly let my selfish desire get in the way of our friendship.

"Shut up and kiss me."

"What?"

"You heard me. I want to feel those lips. You're mine Zayn and he can't have you."

I was astonished at his declaration. I knew that he was always bi-curious, but I never imagined that he'd be interested in me. I was afraid that it was just the alchol making him lose clarity of the situation. 

He pressed his lips on mine and I gave him my full attention. I must be dreaming. This can't be real but it is. My best mate is seriously heavily making out with me and it feels so damn good. Curse those luscious lips.

"I'm honestly wasted Zee so maybe we should head back."

"Sounds good Li"

I passed Niall my number and apologized but he seemed to understand. 

"Good luck bro", he whispered in my ear.

The cab ride back seemed to last an eternity. Once we made it back to my flat, Liam jumped on me and he started to grind on me. His body is so damn muscular and my gosh, I felt his hard on.  We were making out on the kitchen tabled and continuously pressed kisses all over body and it felt exhilarating.

"I want to fuck you Zayn."

"Li, you are clearly intoxicated. I think we should head off to bed. Oh and it's past midnight. Happy New Years".

Those puppy dog eyes really tore my heart apart but I knew I couldn't take advantage of him. Clearly he wasn't sober enough to make such a decision.

I tucked him in the guest bedroom and he passed out within seconds.

I feel like such a shit friend. I let my feelings get the best of me and took advantage of Li at his most vulnerable state. I don't deserve to be his friend but all of the kissing and grinding felt so intoxicating. His plump lips took control and made me gasp for air. It made me think of that new Beyoncé song:

"We woke up in the kitchen saying how the hell did this shit happen? Oh baby; drunk in love, we be all night; Last thing I remember is our beautiful bodies grinding off in that club, drunk in love. We be all night, love, love. We be all night, love, love. We be all night, and everything alright, no complaints for my body, so fluorescent under these lights"

And that's when I knew. I had to tell him.
