Chapter Eleven

{I'm jittery from caffeine so this won't be edited until tomorrow}

Zayn was out with his one-year-old twins at the Victoria Park enjoying a his day off and spending time with his boys. They were sat by the water watching other families with older children running around and feeding the ducks. He watched as his sons nibbled on banana's getting it all over their lips and chin when he heard a familiar voice shout his name.

Zayn became stiff silently praying that he was wrong.

But he wasn't.

"Hey Zayn." Liam said cautiously as he slowly walked to stand beside Zayn who was sat on a blanket with the boys. "Umm, wow."

"What do you want?" Zayn spat bitterly and yeah Liam knows he deserves that. 

"I was out for a jog, and I thought I saw you from across the pound so I ran over here and yeah, it's you." Liam mumbled out quickly 

"Yeah, it's me so you can leave now." 

"Actually, I. I wanted to talk to you. I've wanted to you for a while like I never wanted to stop talking to you. I swear."

Zayn hadn't looked up to meet Liam's eyes yet but when he did he could see the genuinity behind them. Liam was sorry.

"I just. I mean, are th- are those your kids?"

"Yes" Zayn replies dryly trying to show Liam he doesn't want this conversation, which thankfully he understands.

Liam takes a deep breath and takes a seat next to him and Zayn visibly stiffens. 

"It's good to see you've moved on mate, you deserve that. The lads and I were gutted about what Louis did to you."

"RIght."

It went on like that for a while, Liam apologizes and Zayn spitting back bitter one word answers. But when little one year old Elijah crawled across the blanket and into Liams lap, Zayn's defence mechanism fell and he slowly started to open up to Liam.

He was getting his best friend back. And whether he wanted to admit it or not because he was still hurt, he was excited for it. 

***

For the rest of the promo tour after that night, things had been a bit awkward between Louis and Zayn.

Louis because even though Zayn had told him it was alright, he still felt guilty that he had ruined the budding friendship between he and Zayn. 

Zayn because whenever he had a free moment his mind was on Louis, the way Louis skin felt, the way his lips still molded perfectly with his and LouisLouisLouis.

Louis was sleeping in his bunk when the sound of Zayn shouting in to his phone woke him up. 

"Alex, you were meant to pick up the boys last night... My mum has work later she can't take the boys with her and now she has to disturb Donyia on her only day off so she can watch the boys...Yes i understand she doesn't need to work but she likes to work and that's not the fucking point!...Fine, see you in a few days you twit!" Zayn yelled followed by the sound of a phone slamming in to the wall of the bus. 

Louis quickly jumped out of bed almost tripping over Harry's legs sticking out of Nialls bunk and ran to the back lounge room. When he got there Zayns jaw was clenching and unclenching in anger and he was running his fingers through his sleep styled hair. He ran and sat next to Zayn careful not to touch him yet because it was clear Zayn was agitated.
