Unbreakable (Liam Payne Fan-Fiction)

Chapter 55

Liam's POV*

It was one in the morning when we finally finished decorating and we were all shattered.

"Good work boys", I said sleepily as I sat my tired body down in the armchair that sat in the corner of the newly decorated room.

"Thank god", Harry groaned, sitting on the floor next to the armchair.

The was a number of relieved sighs as we cleared up the few remaining bits of rubbish and admired our hard work. I was personally pretty impressed at how well it had turned out. It was exactly how Emily had described what she wanted.

We drove back to the girls and we all headed straight to bed, we had all changed our clothes at the house because we didn't want to give the surprise away by coming back stinking of paint. I said goodnight to the boys and we all walked into separate rooms. I tiptoed quietly into mine and Emily's room, trying not to wake her up but at soon as I moved the bed sheets aside so that I could get in I felt her hand grab my tshirt and pull me onto the bed.

"I missed you today", she told me, wrapping her arms tightly around my neck.

"Why are you still awake?", I asked.

"I couldn't sleep without you, I never can", I already knew that she would say this, it was just nice to hear it sometimes.

She nuzzled her head into the crook of my neck and it was only a matter of minutes before her breathing became slow and heavy and I knew she was asleep.

Emily's POV*

I got up in the middle of the night needing the toilet. I peeled Liam's arm from around my body and climbed out of the bed. I was surprised when I saw the kitchen light on as it was at least 3 a.m. I went to the toilet and decided to go and investigate. I opened the kitchen door and saw Zayn standing by the counter, swearing under his breath.

"Need some help?" I asked with a giggle as I noticed that he was attempting to make himself a hot chocolate.

He looked up at me with a smile that said "Yes please", and I giggled again.

"Go sit down you goof", I gently shoved him towards the bar stools.

I made us both a hot chocolate and Zayn looked at me in amazement.

"How did you do that so easily?", he asked.

I just shrugged in response, taking a sip of my drink.

"What're you doing up this late?", I asked him and the perfect smile fell from his face.

"Well- err- Perrie tried to call me and I didn't answer, and I just couldn't sleep after that", he told me and I nearly dropped my hot chocolate at the sound of her name. Images of what she did to me flashed through my mind and I winced at the memory.

"What do you think she wants?" I questioned him and a frown formed on his face.

"I don't know Em, I haven't spoken to her in months and now she tries calling me, I have no idea what she could possibly want", he told me, the gap between his eyebrows narrowing.

"Can I ask you something?"

"You can always ask me anything Em", he said and I smiled.

"Do you miss her?", I responded.

It took him a few seconds of thinking before he answered.

"I guess so, but I don't think I could ever forgive her for what she did to y-" I cut him off mid sentence.

"Stop right there, you need to let go of that, it wasn't your fault and it wasn't your problem, so if you miss her, do something about it, you'd regret it if you didn't." I explained.

Zayn's POV*

Emily was wrong, it was my fault and my problem and I still carried the guilt for what happened. But was also right, I would regret it if I didn't tell Perrie how I felt, I wanted to sort things out with her. I thanked Emily for everything and kissed her on the forehead before going back to my room with my phone in one hand and my hot chocolate in the other. It was now four in the morning her but Perrie was on tour so there would no doubt be a time difference, otherwise she wouldn't have called me so late.

I picked up my phone and dialled her number. She answer after the first ring.

"Zayn?" she said quietly, almost nervously.

"Hey", I said back through the phone.
