Mind of ZAYN ✔️ Zarry

ch. 7 ✏

Harry woke up by the repeating vibration of his phone under his pillow. He opened his right eye to see the notifications.

Niall added you and 3 others to the group chat Dorks of the '90s

He frowned. "Niall, seriously?!" He whined as he rolled on his bed. Now he's laying with his stomach first. He got a notification again and he opened it.

'Don't try to make the same mistake, every single one of you.' Niall send.

He has seen that and was about to log out when a repeated notification came.

Liam set his nickname to Daddy Direction.

Niall set his nickname to Nandos' Husband.

Louis set his nickname to Sass Masta.

Oh, so they all agree with this. He thought. He was about to set his nickname when his phone vibrated again.

Niall set Harry's nickname to Once a baker.

He furrowed.

He typed a text and send it.

Harry: Seriously, Niall? Ugh! I'll burn you.'

Niall: Hahahaha! Whut? You used to say that all the time. 😂

Louis: Hey Ni, you forgot someone. 😏

Seen by Niall, Liam, and Harry

Niall set Zayn's nickname to The one that got away.

He chuckled a bit when he saw that. He wants to send a laughing emoji or sticker but he remembers they're not in talking terms so he just has seen it.

Seen by Louis, Liam, Harry, and Zayn.

His heart skipped a beat when he read that name. Gosh! He's online. I thought I blocked him. He thought.

Louis: Don't even try it, H.

His eyebrows meet. As if Louis can read his mind.

Another notification.

Liam: Hahaha. Good one, Ni. And yeah, Louis is right. 😄

He furrowed again. He wanted to leave the conversation but then, he didn't want to make himself as Zayn did before. Leaving them. His phone vibrated again.

Zayn: Hey, Ni. What's that for? And what you are guys talkin' about? 🤔

He doesn't know if he'll reply to those messages knowing that Zayn is in the same conversation. He turned off his phone. He got up from the bed and did his morning routine.

***

Niall: Let's go have some Nandos!

Louis: Sorry can't make it.

Liam: Getting ready for Milan.

Zayn: I'm back in NYC.

Harry reads all the messages that are popping up. He didn't participate in the conversation for a day. He didn't know if that's good or not.

Niall: I can see that we really have our own life now. :(

He felt a knife on his chest. They all know that Niall is the only one who pushes them back together. But what can they do? They have successful solo careers and not all of them have finished touring, Niall's tour will be about to start this year. And Harry's still doing a tour. Liam and Louis and Zayn are all working on their solo albums.

Harry typed a message.

Harry: We can talk about Nandos if you want when I come back from LA. Just don't be sad, Ni. I love you.

Seen by Louis, Niall, and Liam

Louis: Hey! What about me? Don't you love me, Harold?

He rolled his eyes before typing.

Harry: I love you, Lou!

Seen by Liam and Zayn

What is he thinking right now? Harry thought.

Liam: Hey, Zayn, it's a day before your birthday. What's the plan? Something special?

Oh fvck! Yes, his birthday is about to come. But, am I supposed to care? I mean, it's already two years, I didn't wish him one, and neither did him. So? Harry thought. He remembers the first year he was not with Zayn. He waited for his call that day. To wish him a happy birthday, but there's nothing. What can he expect? He didn't answer all his calls and messages. So he concluded that he already moved on with Gigi. He cried all night. He misses Zayn so much and he regretted he didn't let him explain.

His thought was cut off by vibration.

Zayn: I don't know, Li. I don't have any plans at all.

No plans? Doesn't Gigi prepare something for him? He asked himself. Then rolled his eyes. Oh, who cares?

***

It's already January 12, and Harry didn't sleep the last night. His mind and heart were arguing about him if he'll wish him a happy birthday.

Just one message will be enough. Just a simple 'Happy Birthday' is all and you can't do it? What will his reaction be? What if he ignores it? And think that I'm still in love with him and laugh at me? No way!

He sits upon his bed that afternoon and he already decided to just not do anything this day. Again, his phone vibrated.

Liam tweeted

He opened the notification and read what Liam tweeted.

Happy birthday, bro! 👊
@zaynmalik

He frowned. He wished that he can turn back time when he wished and kissed Zayn a happy birthday. The time when he used to make his cake and cook his favorite food. But now all he can do is to stare at his pictures and all the updates about Zayn.

***

Niall: Happy birthday, Malik!

Louis: Happy birthday, Zaynie.

Liam: Happy birthday again, bro.

Zayn: Thanks, lads. 🍻

Harry wasn't in a good mood that night. He was just lying on the bed all day. Can't think of what to do. His phone vibrated again.

Niall: Harry, seriously? You just left us all of read here.

Harry: What am I gonna say at all?

He's really pissed off right now. After he saw a picture of Zayn and Gigi going out. No plan at all his face.

Liam: Why don't you wish Zayn a Happy Birthday?

Seen by Niall, Louis, Harry, and Zayn

Fvck, Liam. Really? The phone vibrated again.

Niall: Yeah, wish him to have one.

He facepalmed. He buries his face on his pillow. He wishes that he could just disappear now.

Louis: How many nights does it take to type a simple Happy Birthday, Harold?

"Ugh! Why do I feel like they are doing this on purpose?" Harry stresses out.

Harry: Happy birthday, Zayn! Happy now?

Seen by all

Zayn: Thank you, Haz.

Seen

A beat skipped again.
Haz? He called me Haz. He called me Haz. HE FUCKING CALLED ME HAZ!
