Back to the start

6.

I burrowed deeper into the covers as I inhaled the familiar scent, a smile creeping into my face as a million memories flooded my brain.

...

A strong pair of arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me into them. My eyes snapped open in a panic and I gratefully turned my face into his chest, panting heavily.

"Shh" he cooed, stroking my hair gently. He held me there for a while, his breath tickling the top of my head. I followed the beat of his heart to slow down my own breathing.

He placed a kiss on my forehead and using his finger, he gently lifted my face up to his, placing another soft kiss on my lips.

I smiled at his sleepy face. It's hard to believe that I get to wake up to this every morning. It's something I'm never going to take for granted.

He looked so beautiful, his big brown eyes still drowsy from sleep, stubble adorning his cheeks and chin from days of not shaving.  His hair hung floppy across his forehead. He hates the way he looks in a morning but honestly this is my favourite version of him.

I twisted away from him so I could rest my head on his bare chest once more.

"Another nightmare?" His voice was deep and raspy.

I nodded, knowing he could feel the movement.

"Was it bad?" I asked, snaking my arms around his waist.

He pulled the duvet tighter around our bodies as my arms broke out in goosebumps.

"You were screaming" he told me, worry evident in his voice. "What were you dreaming about?"

"My family died" I lied, knowing nothing on this earth would make me admit what really happened in my dream.

"I love you Han, I'll always be here to fight off the nightmares" his fingers began to trace up and down my arms, sending a shiver down my spine.

I smiled to myself, knowing in my heart that I really was the luckiest girl ever.

He flipped me up so I was straddling his hips, making me smirk down through my messy fringe.

"I love you too" I told him, placing a tender kiss on his lips. "I think it's time I showed you just how much"

...

I rolled over in the bed, reaching out for Zayn's body, smirk still on my lips.

The bed was empty.

And then it all came flooding back. Zayn isn't here.

I opened my eyes rapidly and found that unsurprisingly I was in Zayns old room.

Why the fuck am I in here?

I attempted to sit up and felt an ache in my head.

Aw, I've been drinking.

Luckily for me, whoever put me to bed last night was clearly looking out for me as there was a glass of water and pack of pain killers on the desk next to me. My guess is Liam.

I took the tablets and drank the water gratefully before checking my phone.

Sure enough, I had a text from Liam.

'Hope you're not feeling too bad, I've cleaned up the mess in your room. You didn't wake anyone up so don't beat yourself up about it. Gonna try and make sure Z is gone when u wake up. Text if you need anything x'

The mess in my room? What the fuck did I do?

Oh god. I went batshit crazy last night. Perrie rang while we were in the taxi. I called him out on all the lies he ever told me. It wasn't pretty.

We were still shouting at each other when we got back to the house. I ended up drinking a lot.

Oh god no, it keeps getting worse.

He blamed me. Said he wouldn't even be with Perrie if I'd have heard him out, if I'd have stayed with him.

I cried.
He tried to kiss me.
I punched him.
Started shouting and throwing things at him.
Liam came in and tried to calm me down. I tried punching Liam.
Lots of things got smashed.

I'm such a dickhead.

I groaned as I swung my legs out of the bed. I need to get out of this room right now. I made my way down the hall and paused before entering the kitchen where I could distinctly hear muffled voices.

I pushed open the door tentatively, and immediately all eyes were on me, conversation ceasing awkwardly.

"Mornin" Esme broke the silence with a smug smile.

"Nice clothes" Harry gestured to Liam's shirt that I was wearing, which only just reached mid thigh.

I blushed a little as I sat down at the table.

"Looks like you're used to wearing nothing but his top" Niall wigged his eyebrows suggestively.

I looked at Liam in confusion who was currently running his fingers through his hair in annoyance.

"Erm.." I began but Lou cut me off.

"We know you've been fucking each other" he told me bluntly, folding his arms across his chest.

"What? How?" I looked at Liam with a glare but it was Esme who answered.

"You wrote it on the fucking fridge!" She snorted with laughter as she pointed to the mini whiteboard attached to the fridge.

'Liaaaam if u want sum lovin then come to ma room ps pls last more than 10 mins this time xxx p.p.s this wasn't Hannah'

Oh god I hate myself.

"Well that clearly says it wasn't me" I attempted to lighten the mood before looking at Liam for help.

"It gets worse" he told me, shaking his head lightly.

"Worse?" I asked incredulously.

Lou handed me today's newspaper with pursed lips. Well if Louis isn't making jokes about it then it really must be bad.

I forced myself to look at the headline and closed my eyes in frustration.

'Call off the wedding?!' Was the title, above a picture of me and Zayn looking pretty cosy sat outside the club, me with his jacket around my shoulder and him tenderly playing with a curl of my hair.

I threw the newspaper to the side in annoyance. I really don't want to read the rest.

"Nothing happened" I told them all quickly. "He found me outside and brought me home, we actually had an argument"

"Yeah it looks like it!" Louis pointed to the offending image.

"It looks really bad Han" Es agreed with my brother. "They even got in your tattoo, everyone knows it's one of his drawings,him spray painting it on the wall was shown in the damn film" She laughed weakly but I didn't, automatically looking down at the stupid tattoo I let him give me on my leg.

"That doesn't mean anything" I tried to defend myself.

"The fact that you haven't got it covered up is enough, people will always jump to conclusion for some gossip" Harry shrugged. He clearly took my view that this wasn't as big a deal as Louis and Esme were making out.

"Simon is livid, you better go get ready because we have a meeting with him" Liam finally spoke up, making me curse mentally.

This will all blow over so quickly. All I've gotta do is put out a statement that nothing's happening between us and it's all sorted.

"Prepare yourself, Zayn and Perrie are going to be there" My brother informed me smugly.

What a great day this is turning into.
