here's a picture of Liam bc stuff is happening this chapter, and bc I like this picture of him. :)

"I need you, right now."

"What the hell did he do this time?!" Niall asked Zayn. He tried to do it calmly, but when his best friend called him crying, he was anything but.

"I need you, right now," Zayn sat there, tears running down his cheeks, eyes red. He looked like a mess.

Niall sighed, wrapping his arms around his best friend. While Zayn was crying in his arms, he had already thought of a thousand ways to kill Liam.

It was almost an hour later when Zayn felt like telling Niall everything. Zayn had explained everything that happened, from what he knew what happened the past year, and everything after he found out about Louis.

"I thought we could get over this, and take care of his love child, but I can't. I love him, but now he lost me."

"Zayn, are you–"

"You hate him as much as I do right now, are you really going to take his side, right now?" Zayn cut Niall off.

"I do hate him, even more now. But he's made you happy, you've two have been together for thirteen years–"

"Am I happy now? Those thirteen years are flushed down the toilet now. He loves me, but he loves Louis. He's undecided about us, when he should be decided. He married me, but right now he's probably with him telling Louis that he loves him. Because–"

"What if he chooses you again?"

"Again? I'm not going to playing this game. I'm done with Liam for good." Zayn looked at the wedding band on his ring finger. He stared at it, and pulled it off his finger, tossing it away from him.

"I need you, right now, to tell me that again," Louis giggled. It's been two weeks since Liam showed up at Louis's door confessing his true feelings.

"I love you, Louis. Do I need to keep repeating it?" Liam asked.

"I love hearing you saying that you love me," Louis smiled, pressing his lips against Liam's. The simple action made Liam's stomach full of butterflies. Something he hasn't felt in a long time.

"I love you, Louis–" Liam's phone rang, cutting him off. "I. . . Have. . . To. . . Answer. . . It. . ." Liam said between kisses. Liam stood up, and walked into the kitchen and pressed answer on his phone. "Hello?"

"You're a fucking asshole. I can't believe you would actually fucking do that to your fucking husband. Zayn deserves better than your fucking ass. And you better–"

"You don't understand anything, Niall," Liam told Zayn's best friend. "This is between me and Zayn–"

"He told me everything– and right now, he's filling out divorce papers and you'll be getting papers to sign soon. And I swear to god if you don't sign them, I'll hunt you down, and make you regret everything you've ever done. Sign them, and I'll let you live your life with that whore and the lovechild."

"Woah, stop right there. I still care about Zayn, and when he asks me to sign them, I will for him. Not because I'm being threatened. And don't you ever call Louis a whore again if you want to live–"

"Like I'm scared of you, Liam. All talk, no action–"

"Niall? Who are you– You'll be getting divorce papers soon. And sign them so you can live your life with Louis and the baby. And I can live my life without you."

"Zayn–?" It was the first time Liam has heard Zayn in weeks. Liam had come to conclusion that he'll always love Zayn, but not like that anymore.

"Just stop, Liam. Just sign the papers, and we'll hear from the judge in a couple months, and we'll be free from each other. You'll be with Louis, like you are now, and I'll be happy and single. Goodbye."

I'm sorry.

also, this is the last chapter. And I'll start writing the epilogue bc I never knew how I wanted this to end.

Also, so many ziam shippers, I'm sorry, but lilo is endgame in this story. This was hard to write bc I'm such a ziam shipper.

Don't worry, Zayn will have a happy ending.

Don't worry, I didn't forget about Harry and/or Brady. They'll be in the epilogue.

I'm sobbing rn bc I'm actually ending this book, which I started in 2015.

The epilogue should be up in a couple days, and then maybe I'll do a character asks? Maybe?
