Lakshita's P.O.V---

We were sitting  in Starbucks and I was sipping my caramel latte while Zayn was drinking his coffee. "Isn't this place nice?" I asked, leaning back on my chair and looking out the window. "It really is." He sighed, sipping his drink. "Don't you have rehearsals tonight?" I questioned and he nodded. 

We threw the cups and walked outside to tour around this beautiful British Colony called 'Stanley'. I caught his hand and entangled my fingers with his. We walked in silence, looking at the place. There was huge H&M shop occupying an old British building. "Lets sit." Zayn said, pulling me to this bench that was under a big , shady tree. 

"Javaad... what's wrong?" I asked and he sighed, looking away. "Nothing." Was all I got as a response with a shrug to it. "You can play this 'nothing' game with me. I know you, Zayn. But I will also not force you to tell me anything. But I want you to know that I am always ready to listen." I said and he did not respond. I sighed and stood up in front of him. 

"I am going to explore. Call me if you need me." I said and started walking. I turned once to see Zayn sitting in the same place with his head down. It was so unusual. Whatever it was... he was scared to tell me about it and I really hope it affects both of us in no way. 

I walked through an arch spotting an ice cream van. Buying a vanilla cone, I started walking further. I spotted a variety of shops. There was a fence made of rocks that separated the sea from me. I sat on the rocks, dangling my legs and looking at the complete blueness in front of me. Cold wind blew over me and I hugged myself, also licking the ice cream. 

More than an hour of sitting there, I was getting bored. I jumped down and walked further, deciding to check out the shops. There was a shop selling statues and glass tubes the size of my middle finger with names inscribed in it. I bought a glass tube asking the man to inscribe Zayn (heart) Lakshita. Paying him the money, I decided to walk back. 

It was lunchtime and Zayn said we would be eating in a restaurant in Aberdeen, the once fisherman village. There were a lot of sparrows. One sat on my shoulder and did not fly away. I chuckled to myself, walking back to that big tree, with the sparrow still on me. A little boy passing me took a picture in his shutter camera and I posed for him. It printed two photos instantly. 

He asked me something in Mandarin I guess and I had no clue. "You know English?" He asked and I nodded. "Are you Lakshita?" He asked and I nodded, raising an eyebrow. "How do you know my name?" I asked and he pointed far ahead. "Someone there was calling your name. It looked like he needed something." The boy said, handing me a copy of my photo. Thanking him, I sprinted back to where I had left Zayn. 

"Zayn?" I called and he looked up. "Where the fuck did you disappear off to, Lakshita? It's been two hours!" He shouted and I crossed my arms over my chest. "I told you I was going to look around this place. You also could have called me. Why the fuck didn't you do that?" I asked and he sighed. "Okay. Let's go to Aberdeen." He said, holding my wrist, pulling me with him. 

Not saying anything, I followed him. We got into the bus and Zayn took a seat on the left column and I took one on the right column. I unlocked my phone to see a call from Selena. Grinning, I called her. 

"Hey, honey!" I heard her chirp. "Hey, I am so happy to hear from you." I replied and Zayn looked at me. "I heard you are in Hong Kong. I am too. I was wondering if you would like to be in my music video. We are filming it tomorrow night." She said and I mentally jumped up and down. "Are you serious?! Oh My Goodness! I would love that." "I love your enthusiasm. So yeah, I'll see you at 11 pm tomorrow.  Don't forget to bring your swimsuit." She said and I grinned. "Swimsuit? Yeah sure. I'll see you tomorrow at 11 pm." I smiled and we hung up. 

I turned to look at Zayn and he was glaring at me. I wanted to tell him everything but just sighed, looking out the window. "Who was that?" I heard him ask after 10 minutes. "Selena." I said and he glared at me. "You want me to believe that? Why the fuck is he asking you to bring your swimsuit? And at night? It definitely wasn't a girl." He shouted. Thank Goodness no one was on the upper deck.

"Do you even hear yourself, Zayn? Are you seriously dumb? Why am I going to lie?" I asked and He shrugged. "I am leaving Zayn. Go fuck yourself." I snapped, climbing down the bus as I reached a stop. I stopped a taxi that was on the road and got inside when Zayn came up, but I just left. 

I went back to the hotel and saw Niall. "Hey, where is he?" He asked. "I don't fucking care." I snapped and walked to the room. Zayn's clothes were all over the bed. I threw the down, locked the room and climbed on to the bed. His laptop lay aside and I picked it up, going on Netflix. '13 reasons why' came up and I curled into the blankets, watching my favorite show.
