Ziall: Broken Promises

Chapet 6: Forgiven yet Forgotten

"I'm sorry for being the reason this is over."

Zayn's heart dropped and his breath hitched. No. Niall couldn't possibly mean that could he? They were together. They couldn't break up so soon; or never. Zayn cared for the lad too much to just give up so easily.

"Niall. open the door now before I knock it down," Zayn said sternly. His eyes were beginning to burn but he tried not to let the tears show by blinking fast. He had to be strong. For the both of them.

"Please leave me," Niall's soft voice barely reached his ears, "I wanna be alone."

"Baby you know you don't want that. Come on. Open up please," Zayn begged.

There was silence as Zayn stared at the knob hoping to see it turn. When he was about to knock again, the lock clicked. Zayn quickly reached for the knob and threw the door wide open, almost smacking Niall in the face.

As the door flew open, a wave of air hit Niall's face making him shiver. He quickly met Zayn's eyes, and before he could say anything else, Zayn threw himself at him making him stumble backwards a few steps, the door closing behind them. Zayn's arms were securly wrapped around Niall pulling him into his neck. Niall began to sob against his chest, not being able to hold back the tears.

"Shh. It's ok baby. It's ok," Zayn tried to comfort him, but even his own chest was tight just at the image of seeing him broken.

"M-my m-mom ha-tes me!" Niall's body shook.

"No she doesn't. I'm sure of it. She's just shocked that's all," Zayn swallowed the lump in his throat. He had to be the strong one now.

"We c-an't be toge-ther. She-she-"

"Shh. Don't say nonsense. Everything's gonna be fine ok?"

Niall shook his head no against Zayn's black shirt and continued sobbing. Zayn pulled away from the embrace and quickly cupped Niall's cheeks making him meet his gaze. Zayn planted his forehead against Niall's and closed his eyes.

"Shh baby. Breath. I know it hurts but you have to calm down," Zayn opened his eyes to meet Niall's oceany ones. Niall's broken heart reflected through his eyes as he tried to stop sobbing.

"What if she breaks us apart?" he asked brokenly.

Just at the sound of Niall being in pain made his chest tighten even more. He slightly tightened his grip against Niall's cheeks as he brought Niall's face closer to his, smacking a quick peck on his lips, then another.

"She won't ok?" Zayn said against his lips.

"How do you know Zayn?" Niall slowly pushed Zayn away and turned around giving him his back. "You can't be sure. This is all over. And it's my fault! I'm the one that wanted to come out!"

"Stop blaming yourself Niall," Zayn frowned. "It wasn't any of our faults. If you want someone to blame blame humanity, but not you."

Niall didn't say anything but didn't face Zayn either. Zayn slowly brought his hand up and rested it on Niall's shoulder, turning him to face him. He really badly wanted to say those three little words. He so badly wanted to pour his heart out to Niall, but he was sure the broken boy in front of him wasn't ready to hear him. It's crazy because you'd think that now Niall needed to hear those three little words more than ever. But in Zayn's point of view he thought he wasn't ready. Especially not now, because Zayn knew that if he confessed to Niall how strong his feelings were, Niall would feel devastated for breaking his heart because Niall was sure they were over. So Zayn did all he could do and pulled Niall towards him, quickly letting his lips land on Niall's salty ones. Niall gasped at the sudden action but quickly melted into Zayn's arms, gripping onto his black shirt. Zayn moved his lips against Niall in a very slow passionate way. He wanted to show Niall how strong he loved him. Zayn wanted to pour his heart out in this kiss, and thankfully Niall allowed him.
