•THIRD PERSON POV•

Insanity stole into Noura's mind like a deranged thief, taking what was important to her, adding new dangerous ideas, seeding a new personality and muddling up the rest.

New sparks of ideas that once she would have dismissed as bizarre started to grow roots, deep roots, they started to make sense in one revolutionary eureka moment after another, cascading out of control, luring her further and further from the self she once knew.

So here she is standing at Zayn's door step, all dolled up, looking as beautiful as ever,
so dangerously beautiful but you will not dare to ask her or tell her how you feel love has hurt in the worst ways.

She rings the doorbell, once, twice till he opens the door.

When he opens the door she notices the shocked face he gave her, he has turned white as chalk. His eyes and his mouth were frozen wide open in an expression of stunned surprise, and although he was staring straight at Noura, he appeared not to notice him at all.

Noura stares back at him, He looks as gorgeous as ever, his hair has grown out, he has a fluffy beard now, his eyes lit up when he saw her —or she could be imagining it—

"H-hey—" he clears his throat; swallowing down the lump in his throat, he hasn't seen her in ages. "Come in?" It came out more like a question, out of unsureness—Noura was the last one Zayn has expected to be at his door step.

When he spoke his voice trailed slowly, like his words are unwilling to take flight. Noura stares into his lively hazel and honey eyes, She thinks there is sadness in them, the brown looks too glossy, but she could be imagining things.

Noura murmurers a quiet thank you, feeling anxious all of a sudden–but she will not back off now.

It was awkward; that's quite the understatement. It was silent, and the tension could be cut off by a knife, they sit knee deep in silence. each one reverberating around the room like a cymbal, yet no-one blinks or trying to open a conversation.

Noura just stares at Zayn with expressionless face, troubling and captivating the clueless Zayn.

Zayn is the more uncomfortable one because he was not expecting this at all. And he has a date with Valentina, they have been dating for a while—Zayn wasn't really in love with her or even likes her, she was just a distraction; distraction from his feelings to Noura who has showed up out of nowhere in his life–bringing all the feelings to him again. God, he has missed her so much, so much.

But the thing is, Zayn knows what Noura has done once; tracking his phone, after he has left her in NYC, Chad has told him that his phone got tracked for a little while–the tracker got bored and stopped. He found it really strange because why the hell would she do that? And he was hurt; because he was right, he couldn't trust her. Zayn thinks that maybe he's cursed with traitors, first Marie and then Noura, his first and second real love.

Noura was uncomfortable but that's because she's feeling a little anxious and just needs a little boost of confidence; alcohol.
