DOES HE KNOW?ZIAM

4 Years Later

Zayn was having what he could call a nice life.

His job was nice, he retired from the spotlight preferring a quieter job as a Songwriter/Producer. The money was good and the better part was his schedules.

He had more than enough time to spend with his daughter, taking her to daycare and bringing her home every day. He even had time to cook dinner every night for the two of them, and sometimes play together.

Occasionally his parents would visit claiming that they never see their granddaughter often, so they would take her out for the day, giving him some well-deserved time for himself. Some "Zayn-time" like Harry calls it every time he babysat for him with Louis. The innuendo never failed to make him laugh. It was not funny but what caused the laughter was the reality of doing nothing of "Zayn-time" just cleaning, doing laundry, working, or maybe sleeping.

With time, he learned that Louis was the responsible one, and never to let Harry alone with his daughter if he wanted his walls free of painting.

Niall visited too when he could. But between touring around the world and him recording at the studio, his visits became less and less frequent, but he always took time to Skype-call him and his daughter at least once a week.

Louis worked with him as a songwriter, retiring too from the scene, but for other reasons. While Zayn retired for his daughter, to better take care of her. He learned he could not properly raise her, if he was always on the road like Niall, or attending some crazy party for his image. Louis retired because he was tired of the attention and fame; he just wanted to make music without the craziness that came along with it sometimes. They decided they had their fair share when they were in One Direction.

As to Harry, he still was a famous singer. His career lived the transition from One Direction to a solo artist better than the others. His agenda was full just like old times, but somehow, his relationship with Louis never suffered from it. That was what Zayn always admired in them, they seemed to overcome easily every rough patch that came toward them.

Zayn came home after a long day of working with a new group, his daughter was asleep in his arms. He opened the door carefully trying not to wake her, she was just like him. She always made a fuss if someone woke her up.

He laid her in her bed before going down to the kitchen to make dinner. Niall was supposed to come the next day. After weeks of not seeing him, Zayn really missed the blond. So he planned on preparing a good amount of food, he knew he wouldn't have time for it tomorrow.

Half way through his preparation his phone rang, cursing he answered without checking the caller ID

Zayn is sitting in his couch watching the TV quietly after putting Olivia to bed. When suddenly his phone rang

"Hello?," Zayn said

"Z, you and Oli need to leave the house now!!"Harry, after he recognized the voice, shouted through the phone as soon as Zayn answered.

"W-Why?," Zayn murmur worried

"Li-L-beep-beep-beep" Zayn wasn't able to hear the end of his sentence, the line went dead. Harry cursed and threw his phone sending it right to the wall of his hotel room, it broke in pieces. He went to the hotel phone composing Zayn's number, but the line was busy. He pictured the worst, feeling powerless because he was miles away from his friend.

Suddenly his phone started to ring again. But this time it was an unknown number.

"Hello?"

"Zayn it's me Perrie ,I was just at this charity event and Liam was here!. He somehow knows about Oli. After I accidentally confirmed it he took off .I think he is going to your house, but you need to leave now! He is already in his way toward your house.
