Chapter 17

5 Years Later
''I've just wanted to say a massive thank you Hamilton, and I'm incredibly sorry that it's time to go. You guys were absolutely amazing so thank you so much!'' I blew them a kiss, and they screamed even louder. I smiled as I ran off the stage.
I bumped into someone and I immediately said, ''Sorry.'' I looked up into familiar blue eyes. 
''James?!'' He burst out laughing then hugged me tight. I buried my head in his neck, breathing in his scent. ''I missed you.'' I whispered. He tightened his grip on me then said, ''I missed you too.''
He released me and saw that I was a bit teary. He poked my nose. ''Now now, no need to drown me in your tears turtleboy.''
I giggled and slightly blushed, ''Sorry-'' He stopped me with a kiss. He leaned back and said, ''I like it a lot better when you aren't talking.''
He pulled me in a kiss again. I could feel his grin, which made me feel all tingly inside.
I finally pulled back, my face flushed. I gave him a peck on the cheek then said, ''I'll be right back after changing.''
''Don't take too long.'' He said.
''No promises.'' I winked.
I was smling my whole way to the changing room. As soon as I opened the door, all I saw was hazel eyes, olive skin, ruffled hair, and thick long eyelashes. He had a bit of a beard, some wrinkles, bags even, but he still looked beautiful. It was him. I could just feel it in the air. I broke from his gaze and looked down at the floor.
''Liam-'' He started coughing, alarming me. I patted him on the back, then had him sit down on the couch.
''Here drink this.'' He greedily took the cup from my hand and sloppily drank all the water. He wiped his mouth with his hand and said, ''Sorry.''
I said nothing. I didn't know what to say. Then I looked at him. ''Where have you been?''
He had pain in his eyes. ''I've been on the run Liam. I just, I found you, I can't,'' He choked on his words, tears streaming down his face.
''But now you and me can finally be together.'' He got up and started pacing around the room. ''I have enough money to buy a little cottage and-''
''But-''
''-we can just live there and, and-'' I grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him. ''Stop it!'' He looked at me confused. 
''I can't be with you.'' 
''But why?'' He whispered.
''James.'' I turned to walk away, when he said, ''Wait.''
I stopped and turned around, enraged. ''Look, I've moved on alright? You couldn't even tell me the bloody truth about your life! Zayn, Zaid, or whatever the hell it is, with you all I've experienced is pain. I'm finally happy for once in my life, and you decided to come strolling in. Just get out of my life!'' I shrieked at him. I started walking away but he grabbed my arm.
''Okay, I don't have any fight in me left. I don't really think my life is actually worth fighting for. But you want the truth? Fine. I am Zayn Malik. But I have a twin brother, Zaid Mehta. My parents didn't want twins so they gave him away. The moment he found out he was an orphan, I'm guessing he went crazy and killed his parents. Now everyone's after me since I look exactly like him.''
Suddenly the door opened, and in walked James. 
''Surpri-'' His eyes trailed down to Zayn's hand on my arm, then looked back from Zayn to me.
''What's going on?''
