Hope you enjoy x
“So,” Harry began, “If he does all of that stuff to you, why don’t you just leave him already? I doubt I’d be able to last an hour with that twat.”
They had been sitting with each other for over an hour – Zayn was sure he’d promise he’d leave about 30 minutes ago – and they had been discussing where Zayn stands with his relationship with Niall, Zayn found it rather easy to tell just about every detail to Harry, he was quite easy to talk to.
Zayn shrugged, suddenly feeling uneasy. “It’s just… He tells me he loves me, and I believe him, and I don’t want to leave him all alone, it’s my fault his parents and his sisters died, after all.”
“No,” Harry shook his head, “It isn’t your fault, you need to stop believing everything he says, he’s wrong. You had no control over the timing of his family’s death; you’re not the one who decides that, Zee.”
A part of Zayn knew he was right, there was no way Zayn could’ve predicted something like that would happen, and it’s not like he wanted it to happen, it just did. But another part, a much bigger part of him, didn’t want to believe Niall was wrong, believing Niall was wrong would lead to Zayn realizing he needed to get out of the relationship, and even attempting to leave Niall… Zayn doesn’t even want to think about what would happen to him.
Zayn took in a sharp breath. “I-I just… I c-can’t leave him…”
“You know what I think?” Harry said. “I think you’re afraid to leave him, and not only that, but you don’t want to leave him ‘cause deep inside, you still think the old Niall will come back to you one day.”
Zayn never thought about that, he did want the old Niall, of course he did, that’s the Niall he fell in love with, but he never thought it was the reason he was so hesitant in leaving Niall.
Harry grinned, “Yeah, you can thank me later; I should’ve been a psychiatrist…”
Zayn shook his head; thinking about his situation with Niall only gave him migraines. “I’ve gotta leave.”
“Alright,” Harry nodded. “I called the taxi service around 20 minutes ago when you went to use the restroom, should be here any moment.”
Around 10 minutes later, they heard the faint beeping of a taxi, Zayn got up, ready to leave, until Harry pulled him into a tight embrace. “Don’t hesitate to visit me; it’s rather lonesome here.”
Zayn nodded, slowly returning the embrace, “I’ll try.”
Harry pulled away, a playful smile on his face, “All I ask.”
They said their goodbyes, and Zayn made his way back home, staring unconsciously out the window. The taxi pulled up to the familiar house that Zayn always refused to call a home, his heart just wasn’t in it. He got out painfully slow and handed the driver the money, watching as the taxi drove away until it was out of sight.
He walked up his porch and unlocked the door, making his way inside and nearly tripping over a… suitcase? He looked around, was Niall leaving him? Wouldn’t there be at least two suitcases?
Niall came stumbling in, looking at Zayn and giving him that look of pure disgust, he burped before speaking. “I’ll deal with ya later, you’re just lucky I love you, I’ve got some business I need to take care of, I’ll be gone 2 weeks, don’t try to fuck around while I’m gone.” He picked up his suitcase and forcefully kissed Zayn before rushing out the door.
And just like that, Zayn felt free.

“So what you’re saying is his boyfriend, fiancé, whatever, didn’t give two shits about where he was?” Louis asked, intrigued.
“Yes,” Liam sighed. “That’s exactly what I’m saying.”
Louis shrugged, “Well then there’s not much we can do, can we?”
Liam’s eyes widened, “What? The hell do you mean there’s nothing we can do?”
Louis sat next to Liam, threw an arm around him, and rolled his eyes as if it was plainly obvious. “It’s not our life, Li, Zayn knows what he’s in, it’s his choice what he wants to do about it.”
“What? Louis, we have to protect him…”
“Uh, no,” Louis shook his head. “That’s not our job, Li, leave him be.”
Liam could only stare at him, dumbfounded; he couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Zayn could’ve been threatened into the relationship for all they knew, and here Louis was denying that they do anything about it. He didn’t know where this need came from, the sudden need to hold Zayn and keep him away from anything harmful, but dammit he was going to do it whether it was his business or not. He wasn’t going to lose someone he cared about, not again. (A/N: You’ve literally known him for like a day Liam you over dramatic troll.)
The closing of a car door interrupted Liam’s thoughts, he got up and walked over to the window, lifting up one fold of the blinds and peeked through.
“Didn’t know you were a stalker, Li,” Louis said.
Liam looked over and glared at him before he continued peeking, he saw Zayn coming out of a taxi and felt instantly relieved that Zayn was alright, but he frowned, noticing the bandage on Zayn’s head. He saw Zayn go inside and waited a bit, could’ve been around 4 minutes, when he saw a drunk – no surprise in that – and wobbly Niall leave the house, a suitcase in hand, and watched as Niall hopped into the car, driving off to who knows where.
Liam walked away from the window. Niall could’ve finally left, meaning Zayn was safe and… Zayn was alone.
He stormed out of his house, ignoring Louis’ calls, and ran up to Zayn’s porch. He fixed his hair, don’t judge him, he just wants to look decent, and quickly knocked on the door.
Zayn emerged from the house, and instantly smiled at the sight of Liam, the smile that made Liam weak at the knees and made him feel his heart flutter.
“Hi,” Zayn said.
“Hi.”
A/N: Finished chapter 5, I swore this was chapter 6 for a second, oops.
Sorry for this lousy chapter, I really wasn’t feeling it, it’s definitely not my best work and I apologize for that, this chapter really sucks.
But now Niall’s gone, yay! Here’s to hoping Liam and Zayn become a lot closeeer.
Awkward question time.
Do you think the taxi driver saw Liam creepin?
Do you think Louis’ creepin on Liam and Zayn?
Did Liam fix his hair properly or does he still look a mess?
