Imperfect Reality ~ Ziam Fanfic

Chapter 16

The first flight to Malibu was in two hours. We were at the cafe in the airport, the lads eating some food.

''It's been hours Liam, eat something!'' Harry said with his mouthful of his sandwich.

Louis swallowed what he was eating then said, ''He's right Liam.''

I gave them a cold hard stare. ''It's three in the morning, my boyfriend is practically on the other side of the world, and not only that, he's in jail. And you bloody expect me to eat?!'' I roughly got up, shoving the chair out of the way. I walked out of the cafe and sat in one of the chairs.

I flipped my phone open and looked through the photos. I kept scrolling past them, until I saw that one picture. Me and Zayn were asleep on top of each other. I still remember waking up to find a bit of his drool on my sweater. He was softly snoring, and looked so peaceful, so perfect.

I bit my lip to stop tears from spilling. I ran my thumb across his face and whispered, ''I miss you.''

I must've dozed off because I woke up with Louis beside me. Harry was on his other side. Harry had his head on Lou's shoulde, both of them snoring. I felt pain stab through my heart as I realized that would've been me and Zayn. Could've been. Should've been.

Arriving in Malibu

It was nine at night. I was dashing through the airport, with my heart on my sleeve. I hadn't eaten or gotten a wink of sleep in days, I might as well have been dead. But he kept me gong.

''C'mon boys, faster!'' I said eagerly running outside of the airport. I reached the bus stop. The lads caught up, panting and out of breath.

''Jesus Liam you must've been a cheetah in your past life or something.'' Louis was bent down with his hands on his knees. Harry was saying something too, but I wasn't listening. In my excitement, I was too busy chanting, ''I'm going to see him.''

At the Police Station

God it took exactly 37 minutes. I ran in and found a security guard. I grabbed him by the collar and shook him. 'Do you know where Zayn Malik is?'' He released my grip on his collar and shook his head. ''Sorry. But she does.'' He pointed at tough looking lady sitting behind a desk. I nodded and said, ''Thanks.''

I ran to her and said, ''Do you know where Zayn Malik is?''

She looked up and gave me a long icy stare. ''He escaped 27 hours ago.''
