So Will the Plan Work? [A Ziam Fanfiction]

Chapter 30-The beginning of the ending

Hey, guys!

I really thought that this would be the very last chapie of this story but apparently, this chapie turned out to be longer than I thought. I didn't want to turn this into a 6-7 paged chapter cause that's way too long so I decided to split the chapie into 2 different ones. So this isn't the last chapter of the story as I had said but updating the next one won't take long since it's already done.

So here is chapie number 30...enjoy!

[LIAM's P.O.V.]

The more I keep re-reading this article in front of me, the more I realize how badly I cannot leave Zayn. I just cannot, not anymore, at least. But Zayn could. At any point of time, Zayn could just shrug me off without a single thought and go back to her—to Perrie. Zayn’s free to run away if he wants, I guess he already has. What if he actually settles things with Perrie and go back to her just like before? Could this happen? Could he really leave me?  But right there on the edge of my heart, I hope Zayn doesn’t.

I keep the paper aside and press the heels of my hands against my eyes to stave off the tears. I look at Niall who has been standing right beside me the whole time, just waiting patiently. I tried to offer him a smile, but it probably came out as a grimace because Niall instantly gives me a hug. He doesn’t pull apart until my breathing evens out again and this time, I actually manage to give him a proper smile.

“C’mon, come down for breakfast. Then we can talk about this with Harry, yeah?” Niall asks and I nod, not trusting my voice at all.

Harry, Niall and I ate breakfast in silence. Harry and Niall kept passing me worried glances throughout the time. After breakfast, Harry didn’t waste a minute to ask me, “You’re alright?”

“Yeah, much better than before. At least now we know where Zayn is, right? That’s a positive.” I lied, trying to sound as convincing as possible. They both knew I was lying, of course, but they didn’t push the issue.

“Right.” Harry said, pausing, “Okay, so I think we all should head to Perrie’s right away. I’ll just go and grab a sweatshirt or something and Niall and you also get changed.”

“Yeah, we’ll leave in 5 minutes, cool?” Niall said.

And wait, what?!

“Guys, hold on. Why are we going to Perrie’s?” I asked and earned myself two dumbfounded looks.

“Zayn’s at Perrie’s, remember? Now c’mon, we have to talk to him.” Niall reminded as if I had forgotten that bit.

“No, wait.” I said, “It’s okay. I mean, Zayn’s at Perrie’s, that’s fine.”

“Liam, what are you on about, mate? You have to talk to Zayn, clear everything out. So what’s wrong?” Harry asked.

I shook my head. “No, forget it.  Zayn doesn’t need me anymore. We’re done, guys. Isn’t that exactly why he went back to Perrie’s?”

“Liam, are you serious? I’m sure there was some other reason why Zayn and Perrie were spotted together. He can’t just go back to Perrie like that. He loves you, and you know it. This is all just a big misunderstanding. You both just need to talk it out and everything’s gonna be fine, trust me.” Harry said, looking straight into my eyes. His voice sounded so sincere and I really wanted to believe what he was saying but I couldn’t.
