Replies From Me - Ziall (Sequel to MFH)

9. Merge

" Zayn, zayn!" The boss Ricky, a mid height man in his 30's with a bit of a belly, walked into the kitchen looking for one of his workers.

Cough cough

" Hey Z." Another worker, in his mid 20's & brunette, tapped zayn on his shoulder so he can answer the man yelling in a small environment.
Zayn nods and walks towards Ricky. "Ye-" Coughs in his balled up fist "Yes sir?"

The tired man sighs "Go home."

" What, why?" He asks in confusion.

"Because you've been coughing since you walked into the front doors. Go home, eat something, ice your side or i don't know. Even by looking at you something seems off."

He was right. Zayn was a bit pale and has been coughing since his ride here. Zayn was going to negotiate with him, but at that moment he coughed so hard that he thought he ripped a vocal cord in his throat. He nods and rick smiles, thanks him and leaves to somewhere else.

Z's pov

I grab my phone from my back pocket and dial my rider for tonight.

"Hey liam, can you pick me up?"

*

I open the back door and step out. Damn it's cold. I put my hands in front of my mouth and blow in them to get some warmth. I could feel the vibrations from out of the building. They were playing a rihanna song. Of course. ( No hate towards her tho. Love her songs XD) I begin to walk around the corner, but then stopped to find a blond guy against the wall with his head down, smoking. He looked familiar.

I was going to pass him, instead i stopped a few feet in front of him.

" It's twenty dollars, if you're going to stare." the guy said with a chuckle.

"Oh i'm sorry." I ran my hand over my naked head. If only i brought my jacket, it's freezing.

"Wh-why are you not wearing a jacket?" i say trying to make a conversation.

He looks at me then looks me up and down. "I can ask you the same." he blew the smoke in the air between us. Now i know why he looked familiar, it was the guy i saw walking on the side of the road, when my mom took me to get some meds.

"Was in a rush i guess. So..." i lean up against the wall behind me. "What's your name?"

He looked up at me with a smug face, "Alexander, but i go by Alex." he winked at me which caused me to laugh a little.

"I'm zayn." he nods and grabs something from his front pocket, a pack of cigs. He tips it over in my direction. I nod and take one. "Thanks." I put it in between my lips and looked at him. He took out & turned on his black lighter, then litting mine up.

I breathe in the smoke and release it through my nose. During this time, me and alex were just staring at each other. He wasn't bad looking, he was cute even. Blonde hair, some parts are wavy, brown eyes and pink lips. I take a quick look of his full body. He was skinny and shorter than me.

" Do you remember me?"
He blew a puff away from him then looked at me.

" I think so. I was walking and you were in a car passing me."

" Yeah."

" Mhm, you were to hot to forget." He mumbled looking down to his or the street.

I felt my cheeks get warm. "Well alex, can i have your number for you know...research purposes."

After nodding, he takes my phone and puts in his number.
"If you see me again on the street, just give me a honk."
We laughed and i say okay. At that time, a car honked. I turn towards the end of the alleyway and see a familiar car.

"Thats my ride, gotta go."
We say our byes and i walk quickly to liam.
I get in and was about to say hi, until he stopped me.
"What the fuck zayn?" He rips the cigarette i still had out of my hand and out of his open window. "No wonder you're coughing shit loads."
"Sorry." I say with a sigh.

After getting home, i ate cup of Ramen noodles, watched tv now i'm upstairs in my bathroom.
With the shower water running, i look through my cabinet to see if i had anything to help me feel better. At that point, i see the pills i was assured to take for my rib.
I take one capsule out of the bottle and put it in my mouth. I cup my hand under the sink and turned it on, filling my hand up and turned it off.
After swallowing it down with the tap water i thought to myself...

Hope these work.
