Zayns POV

I was pacing my room like a mad man.I was actually doing this.I was running away from my problems but in reality Im running away with my problem.I wouldnt lie Im quiet scared.We dont know where were going to end up.But then again thats the whole point.To travel on this journey not knowing where you'll end up.Thats the fun of it.I still have my doubts about this.How will we even get along?We hate each other.He said he wanted to "show me how to live life" I know how  to live life.Getting into a great university is living life,moving forward to having a great career as...a...receptionist.......oh.I know what he means.Well I mean theres no worries in living life like that.But I thought he already did that kind of stuff.Guess not.

Snapping me out of my thoughts I heard my phone vibrate on the night stand.

Be there in 10 minutes.You better have packed light Malik.Hxx

Define light.xx

Piss off smart ass.Hxx

I chuckled a little.Maybe this will be a fun journey?But I still have my doubts.

Looking over my bag I check off the items I really need.3 pairs of pants.Check.Couple of shirts.Check.Sweat pants.Check.Underwear.Check.Sweater.Check.Deoderant.Check.Tooth brush/tooth paste.Check

Yes good.This is all I need.What if I need money?I walk over to the edge of my bed and grab a box underneath it.This is where I keep most of the things that I want kept private even if I keep a stack of money I save up for emergencies.Which is probably not a good hiding place for money because anybody could find it but it was either that or my sock drawer and Id possibly forget it was in there.

As Im looking over my bag I get a text from Harry saying hes here.This is it.Thankfully my parents are heavy sleepers.I open my door revealing the stair case just across from me.Walking down the steps is like glass breaking under your feet.One false move and its all over.Its like when your doing something wrong and every little noise scares the piss out you.Yeah Im having this feeling.But I have to do it.Taking this journey means I can live life with no regrets,no turning back.I dont even care if my parents are worried,this is all for me.It may sound selfish but they wouldnt understand.

As I reach the bottom of the stairs I take one last glance up stairs.Walking out the front door made me feel like a free man.In the distance I see Harry leaning against his car with his arms folded across his chest.Hes wearing Khaki pants and a white v-neck that compliments his body with white converse.Compliments his body?Really Malik?I thought.

"What took you so long Malik?"Harry said

"Uhm....my steps kept making noise so I had to be extra quiet."I said.

"Whatever,get into the car."Harry shrugs and proceeds to get into the drivers seat.I never noticed it before but Harry has a nice car.Range Rover.Nice,I thought.

30 minutes into the drive and theres nothing but awkward silence.Not even the radio is on.

I clear my throat then say"Do you mind if I turn the radio on?" "Huh....oh erm sure."As I turn on the radio the song A-Team plays by Ed Sheeran.My muse.At that I fall asleep with no worries in my head.
