I Don't Wanna Live Forever (A Zaylena fanfic)

Chapter 3 - The Following Morning

After a night of continual weird troubled dreams, Zayn wakes up feeling fuzzy. He didn't get much sleep and haven't been able to ever since the nightmares started happening. And the thing that troubled him more was the couple's loud arguing in the house across the street next door. The screaming, the arguing, the crying, and the blows heard inflicted on the woman throughout. Zayn worried.

Showering quickly and grabbing himself a quick breakfast with a cup of coffee, he then grabbed his duffel bag and head outside to his car. Suddenly a weird guest shows up in a huge black limousine full of people. As the window rolled down, his buddy greeted him, his name was Louie. (Not to be confused with Louis Tomlinson from One Direction).

"Hey, ZAYN! What's happin'? Remember that?" he asked him with a huge smile. " "Yeah, yeah, I do. What's up, man?" Zayn asked him. "Eh, not much, but we figured we'd give you a ride to the studio." Zayn looked into the limo, seeing what a huge favor his friend had done, he couldn't possibly turn that down. Plus, he'd have a hard enough time trying to open the door to his own car while being stuck having to listen to the couple's constant arguing in the house across from his apartment. 

"Sure, why not?, My car won't start anyway." agreed Zayn. "Alright! Let's hit the road." said Louie and Zayn grabbed his duffel bag and hopped into the limousine for a ride to the studio. But the noise from the couple's arguing next door still bothered him, that is until the door closed and the windows rolled up and the music started blasting loud R&B from the speakers.

After the car ride there, he then jumped out of the limousine and made his way to the studio, pouring heart out to the beats of his R&B music.

After the studio session, he then thanked his fellow producers and collaborators,  grabbed a green tea to go and head back to the limousine with Louie to chat. On the way home,  they were discussing the state of their music careers when they overheard a neighbor's arguing. They were at it, AGAIN. "Now, where the hell are you going?!" screamed Justin to his girlfriend. Selena was tormented by the situation between herself and her boyfriend and took a chance to escape it by taking a quick walk down the lane in the neighborhood. "I'm just taking a walk, for God's sake, Justin, get off my back!" Selena spoke back and Justin walked to the front of the house and screamed at her, waving his hands. "You know what? You're trash! You're always going to be trash! And don't even think about walking away from me because you ain't going nowhere, just like your career!!". Tears formed in Selena's eyes from these harsh words thrown at her. "I-I-I have to go to a friend's house!" She sobbed and Justin blew her off. "Ah, what the hell does she know about real friends?"

Selena sobbed to herself and just kept walking, keeping her arms closely tucked into her as the wind picked up a slight chill. It was only sunset. It was cold but beautiful. Much like Justin's treatment of her lately. As the temperature got more chill, Selena kept her arms close to herself and just kept walking. She figured she's walk herself home because she'd rather not risk Justin coming to pick her up in his car. After stopping at a friend's house for some talk and rest and relaxation, Selena decided to walk home and then it got dark. Three hours later, it gotten darker and colder and she was still walking out late. At this rate, Selena could at risk of anyone finding here, anyone capable of attacking and kidnapping her.

Seeing her walk all alone in the cold, Zayn asked Louie to pull the limousine close by Selena walking and aid to her assistance. Selena panicked as there were no other cars around this time of night and seeing this strange black limo follow her, she picked up the pace thinking it was Justin stalking her again. Luckily, Zayn and Louis picked up their car speed as well and caught up to her. Defeated, Selena stopped and looked at the window. "Look, Justin, I know what you're doing so STOP STALKING ME!". "Uh, my name ain't no Justin but I'm happy to help give you a lift, miss." It was Louie greeting her. Seeing who it was and relieved it wasn't Justin stalking her, she apologized for her outburst. "Oh, I'm sorry! I though-" "That's alright, miss-?" Louie asked her. "Selena. Selena Gomez." She introduced herself. "Ah, Selena, yeah! Would you like a ride? It's quite cold out here!" Louie asked her. "Oh yeah! Thanks!" Selena agreed and hopped into their limousine. Once inside, Louis introduced her to himself and his buddy Zayn. "Hello, uh I'm Louie whom you already met and, uh, this is my buddy, Zayn". "Hi..." Selena held out her hand to him. And Zayn held hands with her. And from that minute on, he just couldn't stop staring at her.....
