"Where were you yesterday man? Studio was a mess without you. Had too much fun or something?" Zayn asks as he takes a big bite from his sandwich. I snort out a short laugh.

"I just.. wasn't feeling so well." I lie and he squares his eyes at me.

"You're a shit liar, Harry." He comments and my lips twitch up into a tiny half smile before it drops again. I tuck my bottom lip between my teeth in thought.

"C'mon, it can't be that bad can it?" Zayn presses, quirking an eyebrow. I sigh.

"It actually is." I mumble and Zayn's face falls slightly, all signs of laughter and playfulness evaporated from his eyes.

"It's just some family issues. No problem." I say, hoping my lie is a lot more convincing this time. He looks at me disbelievingly but doesn't push it.

"I hope it's all sorted out."

"Yeah, it is. Thanks." I smile lightly.

"You know," he starts off slowly. "I saw Louis at a bar yesterday."

I arch an eyebrow, eyeing him slightly. "Okay." I simply answer, before taking a small bite off my lunch.

"He looked.. different. Like his entire aura was just so.. gloomy. I think he really misses you." I roll my eyes at his words.

"Louis doesn't miss me." I scoff. "He probably just misses someone whom he can fuck whenever he pleases."

"He's not all bad, you know." He says softly and I narrow my eyes at him slightly.

"Where's this going, Zayn?" I breathe out.

He sighs, putting his sandwich back down and I do the same. "You should talk to him."

"I don't want to." I bite back lamely.

"Har-"

"No, Zayn. If he's really apologetic, he wouldn't be asking you to talk to me through you."

"He didn't ask me to talk to you." I arch an eyebrow.

"Yeah? Then why exactly are you asking me to meet him then?"

"He just looked so upset last night. Like truly heartbroken. I think he really did love you, Harry."

"Did. We fell out of love, Zayn." I mutter.
