The Abandoned Hallway (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter 2

                                ~~~Previously in 'The Abandoned Hallway'~~~

My eyes widened and I looked at Niall who had the same expression as me. "This is probably why no one sits with me Niall.." He just nodded and looked behind me. I turned around again and 'Oh no' I thought after what I saw.

~ Louis' POV ~

I saw Zayn's hand coming towards me and I immediately blocked my face instinctively. But to my surprise, Zayn put his hand on my shoulder." Louis, I see you have a new friend!" Zayn says with a menacing smirk on his face." Actually Niall was just leaving. Right Niall?" Niall nods hesitantly and starts to get up. "Why the big hurry Niall?" Zayn says, he looks at Liam and Liam stands behind Niall. Liam places his hand on Niall's shoulder and Niall immediately sits back down.

"Now we just came over for a little chat. Isn't that right Liam?" Liam looked at me and Niall and smiled. It was a nice warm smile, one that a brother would give. "Yeah we just wanted to chat with you guys!" He looked over at Zayn, almost pleading with his eyes. Zayn gave him the death stare for a second and quickly changed back to his excuse of a smile. I looked over at the clock and saw that the bell was about to ring.

As I looked around, the students were eyeing us. They're probably surprised Zayn hasn't punched me in the face yet. I turned back and saw Zayn eyeing someone at his table. I followed his gaze and was met with the most breathtaking person I had ever laid eyes on. Their hair was brown and curly. Their eyes- an astonishing emerald-like green. And their smile, their smile was a perfect smile. They had dimples and they looked like they had a cheeky personality with that smile.

I pried my eyes off of them and returned my attention back to the matter at hand. Zayn was in like a thinking trance when the bell rang and I took it as my chance. I grabbed Niall and hauled us out of there. "What were you thinking?! Sitting with me like that?! They're probably going to beat you too now!!" Niall looked at me with sad eyes. "I just thought you needed a friend after all this time of being alone but, I guess I made a mistake..." Niall gave me one last glance and turned around. I grabbed his arm and walked into the basement. "Look, I'm sorry I yelled and freaked out on you. I just don't want anyone getting hurt because of me..." Niall's eyes instantly lit up and he was back to his old cheery self again. "Its alright. I would've done the same thing."

He suddenly gave me a hug. I hugged him back and a few seconds later we stepped back. "We need to get to class now." Niall nodded and we both bolted to our next class. When we were there, I looked at Niall's schedule. My mouth dropped. We had every class together. "Niall, did you know about this?" Niall looked and noticed what I was talking about. He gave me a sheepish smile. "Thought I should let you find out for yourself." I smiled at him. There's just something about Niall that makes you happy. Like there's this essence of happiness radiating off his body. "I just never noticed you. That's all" I said, now thinking how I could miss his laugh and accent. "Well you were always looking out the window or zoned out..." Niall mumbles. Awkwardly scratching the back of his neck. the bell rings and everyone is in their seats.

~ Zayn's POV ~

"HOW COULD YOU JUST LET THEM GET AWAY?!" I yell furiously at Liam. "I didn't see them starting to get up..." "YOU DIDN'T SEE THEM!?! I THOUGHT YOU WERE WATCHING THEM?!" "I was but then I looked over at you and- never mind." I eye him suspiciously. "Finish what you were saying, Liam, NOW!" "It wasn't really that important." "FINISH IT NOW!!" "NO BECAUSE THEN YOU'LL HATE ME!" Liam yells back at me. I step back. Shocked at his outburst. Liam rarely gets mad. I look over at him. "Hey man, I won't hate you. Just finish off your sentence Liam. Please?" Liam looks at me. With the look on his face it looks like he's having an internal war with himself. His expression goes blank. "No Zayn. I can't. You'll hate me and I can't risk our friendship." 'What did he mean by that?' I wonder. I look at him one more time and then turn and head to class.

After school was over, I met up with Liam as usual. He seemed a bit distant after our argument. As I looked at him, he wouldn't even glance at me like he normally would. "Hey Liam, you ok man?" Liam finally looks at me. He waits a few seconds to say anything. "Yeah mate. I'm fine." He then looks away and goes back to being distant. "Liam you know I can tell when something is bothering you. Just tell me what's wrong." He looks up, shakes his head and heads toward his car. I follow him and stand in front of the driver side door. "Why can't you tell me?" "I already told you Zayn. You would hate me forever." I sigh. We've been friends practically since birth and told each other everything. "Alright. I'll give you space. But I thought we would always tell each other everything?" He lifts his head up. "I just- I can't tell you this time Zayn. I'm sorry. I wish I could.." I look at him. He just seems so sad and I feel so bad. What could possibly make me hate him? I hug him and he hugs back tighter. "You know I would never hate you, but if you feel this strongly about it then you don't have to tell me." He pulls away. His face looks surprised. "Really?! You actually mean that?" I smile. "Yeah mate, you don't have to tell me if you feel that strongly about it." His eyes instantly light up and he smiles. "Thank you so much Zayn. I don't know what I would do without you!" "No problem Liam. After all what are best mates for?"
