Over Again - Ziall (Sequel to "Just One Time") ✔️

Chapter 6 - We can't be together

Zayn’s POV

I screwed up, big time. I can’t believe I lost Niall, again. He just ran off and I couldn’t do anything about it.

I knew where he lived, but I didn’t know whether he wanted me to just turn up.  He would think I was a stalker or something! I had just been watching him for the past year. Shit, that does make me sound like a stalker. But it’s not like that, I just wanted to make sure he was okay, and he really wasn’t.

I watched him go to the club we kidnapped him from every Friday night, looking for me, but I was hidden in the shadows so he couldn’t see me. I watched him break down every single day, sometimes more than once a day, but his friend Josh was there for him. I was happy Niall finally had someone there for him, after how his Dad neglected him as a child. Though, I was jealous too. I was so jealous that Josh could be there for him and I couldn’t be.

I want to hold him while he sleeps, I want to wipe his tears away when he cries, I want us to laugh together, I want us to have movie marathons, I want to spend the rest of my life with him. I love him. I don’t want to be without him.

I had to go see him. I jumped up from the bench where I was just with Niall and walked to my car that was just across the road. Niall didn’t live too far, just around a 5/10 minute drive. I jumped into my car and sped off down the road to Niall’s flat.

When I arrived, I parked the car outside and ran up to his door knocking on it quite frantically. I could hear Niall inside the flat sobbing, and it broke my heart.

“Josh I’m going.” I heard Niall say before I heard footsteps come closer to the door. When the door swung open, Niall was shocked to say the least when he saw I was standing there.

"Please Niall, let me in! I want to apologise!" I begged. I needed for him to hear me out. I wanted to explain properly, not just a pathetic excuse like I gave him at the park. I needed to give him a proper explanation.

“Zayn?! What are you doing here? Please can you leave me alone?” Niall seemed tired, he seemed like he was drained of all the emotions. He tried to shut the door in my face, but I put my foot in the way of the door and looked him in the eyes.

“Niall, please! Let me explain. You don’t know what happened. That last day, that wasn’t my fault. I wanted so badly to kiss you goodbye, maybe even exchange numbers, but most of all I wanted to show you my face. I wanted to show you who I am, what I look like. I-Niall, please, let me explain?” I saw Niall’s eyes fill up with tears when I mentioned that last day, and to be honest, mine did too. Whenever I think about Niall that last night we had together always comes to mind.  The way he made me feel, the way I made him feel, how perfectly he fit into my arms, how his lips felt against mine, and even though I couldn’t see his eyes, I knew they were beautiful. Starring into them now made me feel weak at the knees.

I almost screamed when Niall sighed and opened the door all the way so I could make my way inside. Though I didn’t, I didn’t think Niall would appreciate that. I muttered a quiet thanks before stepping inside. I didn’t know where to go, so I just waited while Niall shut the front door.

“Is everything okay Ni?”  I heard, who I could only guess was Josh. When he appeared in sight, I knew it was Josh. He squinted at me before looking at Niall. “Who’s this?” Niall sighed, and then replied.

“This is Zayn-” Niall was interrupted by a furious looking Josh.

“This is the douche that broke your heart?! What the fuck is he doing here? How does he even know where we live? Actually you know what, fuck this. I have watched Niall for over a year break down every single fucking day and where the hell have you been huh? I bet you’ve been shagging every living thing you can find, then fucking them off, just like you did to Niall. Leave now. I’m not having him break down into tears again over you.” Josh had steam coming out of his ears, metaphorically of course. But he was still livid.
