Zayn's chewing his lip nervously as he paces the hotel suite, he knows realistically that this is everything he's ever wanted really, but Zayn's never really been good at the realistic. He's itching to paint but if he gets paint on this expensive suit, he'll probably die, or the suit will explode or something equally as dramatic. Zayn needs Liam, but he's not allowed to see him, not before the ceremony starts,Gemma's orders. Deep chuckling from across the room makes Zayn's gaze snap to where his best friends are sitting, his eyes narrowing in on Harry where he's sat in the chair laughing, "I'm going to remember this" Zayn mutters, crossing his arms, just as there's a knock on the door. It opens a second later and Gemma bounces through it, "so everything looks perfect out there, I think today's going to go exactly as planned" she exclaims, as there's a bright flash through the room, and Zayn arches an eyebrow at her. "Ok ignore the Paps, you knew they were going to be here, everything else will be perfect" Gemma amends and Zayn rolls his eyes at her, as she comes over to fix his tie. "Gems, can I please see Liam?" Zayn whines and Gemma laughs shaking her head, "sure, but you have to go through him" she giggles opening the door to reveal Jim, Liam's head of security. Zayn pouts, "well that's not fair" he huffs, as Harry, Gemma, and Niall all laugh. "If it helps kid, Alec is corralling Liam into his room"Jim chuckles and Zayn sighs, biting his lip and closing the door again, knowing there is no way he's going to get to Liam before the ceremony.
"Just relax Zee. It's almost time to start" Harry soothes, coming over and massaging Zayn's shoulders. Zayn sighs and allows himself to relax into his best friend's touch, it helps, it always has, he feels less like crawling out of his own skin, and more like he can handle whatever the world wants to throw at him. A bang against the window, followed by another flash draws everyone's attention to the window, to see another paparazzi controlled drone hovering outside. Zayn groans and moves to flop into Niall's lap, "Ni make them go away" he groans, as Niall starts massaging at his hair, Zayn whines as Niall moves his fingers quickly, "don't mess up his hair" Gemma warns and Niall flips her off, making Zayn and Harry laugh, just as there's a knock on the door. "Who's that?" Zayn asks, as Gemma shrugs and moves to open the door, revealing Zayn's two younger sisters, Waliyha and Safaa push past her into the room, "Zayn, you look incredible" Safaa breathes. "Yeah, thanks for inviting us" Waliyha adds, Zayn just smiles moving off Niall's lap to hug his sisters, who until recently were not involved in his life at all, "thanks for coming" he murmurs, pulling away from the hug.
Another knock on the door a few minutes later has everyone looking up confused, before the door swings open to reveal Jim again, "I swear I didn't try to go anywhere" Zayn mutters and Jim laughs, handing Zayn a folded up piece of the hotel stationery. "Special delivery" he grumbles, before stepping back into the hall and closing the door again. Zayn furrows his eyebrows and bites his lip, before flopping onto the couch and unfolding the paper, to reveal Liam's messy handwriting.
Zayn,
I feel like a prisoner, and it's our wedding day. All I want is to come and see you, but between my sisters and Jim and Alec there's no chance. I hope you're ok in there and the paparazzi aren't driving you too crazy, I'm sorry about them, but you know as well as I do there's nothing I can do to make them leave. Just a few more hours baby and you'll be all mine, and I'll be all yours and we'll be on our honeymoon, and I'm never going to let go of you. Anyways, this is getting long and sappy, I love you babe, and I'll see you at the alter
Love, Liam
"Ok, Zayn's broken, what was on that paper?" Waliyha asks, snapping Zayn out of his daze from reading Liam's note. Harry laughs, slinging an arm around the girl's shoulders "that's his 'Liam did something cute' face. So I'm guessing a letter from lover boy" he teases. Zayn pouts, flipping his best friend off which makes Harry gasp, in mock offense, "mean" Zayn mutters, before hugging Gemma tightly, "I wanna see Liam, Gems" he whines. Gemma laughs, hugging Zayn tightly, "soon, ok. I promise" she soothes and Zayn knows, no one is going to give in so he nods, refolding the paper and tucking it into his pocket.
