I can't live without you (zarry)

Chapter 19

The drive back home is filled with silence and tension.


Zayn occasionally looks at Harry while driving, but Harry just looks out of the window the entire time, deep in his thoughts.


Zayn doesn't dare say a word. He is driving fast so that they can reach home quickly and solve the problem. He doesn't like the look on Harry's face, it looks too glum for his sunshine.


After Zayn parks the car in the garage, Harry immediately opens the car door and walks out. When he remembers that he doesn't have the keys, he stops at the front door patiently, waiting for Zayn to open the door.


Zayn gingerly opens the door for Harry.


Harry rushes inside and goes straight to their room. All Zayn can do is follow him.


Harry pulls out a bag, opens their wardrobe, and starts putting his clothes in the bag.


That's when Zayn starts to get worried. "B-Babe, w-what are you doing?"


No response.


Harry is still putting his clothes in the bag.


"Babe?"


"Don't ever call me babe again!" Harry yells at him, making Zayn startled.


"And I'm leaving." Even though it was just a murmur, Zayn hears every words considering that the house is filled with silence.


"I-I'll bless y-you and h-him. I know h-he is a good boy, a-and he suits you very well. I-I always knew you would l-love him if it wasn't f-for m-me. You will make a cute c-couple. I'm sorry. I'm l-leaving and you don't have to worry about me. Promise me y-you will have a happy life, y-yeah?" Harry's voice cracks. It's clear that he is crying, judging by his shaking shoulders and light sobbing.


"Harry, look at me." Zayn gently says.


Harry shakes his head furiously, still facing away from Zayn.


Zayn sighs, walking towards Harry and standing in front of him. He grabs Harry's chin, making him look in his hazel eyes.


Harry immediately closes his eyes, "S-Sorry, I didn't m-means to cry."


"No, babe, look at me." Zayn demands.


Harry obeys, it's his natural instinct to listen to Zayn.


Zayn looks at Harry with seriousness and sincerity. "No. I'll never have a happy life if you are not by my side. I can't live without you and you know it. And no, I don't love Justin. Not even a slightest bit. I never loved Justin, not even in high school. My heart belongs to you and only you. You are the only one I love."


Harry's feels like his heart can finally beat again, and it's beating so fast because of Zayn's sweet words. "But..."


"No buts." Zayn says, making Harry startled. How could he hear-


"You said it out loud baby." Zayn smiles fondly at him "All the drama started the night I went to the club to hang out with Liam and Niall. Justin came with them. When they went to dance, leaving me and Justin alone, he drugged me. That's why I unknowingly had sex with him, and I don't even remember a thing about that night."


"B-But that m-morning..." Harry feels a deep pain in his heart even to recall that morning.


"That morning before you came, Justin suddenly straddled me and kissed me, catching me off guard. And when I was about to push him off, you walked in. It wasn't what you think you saw, baby." Zayn said in all honesty.


Harry looks into Zayn's eyes, he knows Zayn isn't lying. He watched him grow up, of course he can tell when Zayn is lying, and when he is not.


"So, you were drugged?"


Zayn nods.


"So you didn't kiss him back?"


He nods again.


"So you didn't find a new lover?"


He nods yet again.


"So, you forgive me?"


Another nod, but this time it's Harry who nods.


Zayn grins at Harry.


Harry grins back at Zayn.


And then they lean in and kiss each other with passion, longing and love.
