Meanwhile...

Zayn's heart kind of took a leap in his chest as he reread the notification, glancing over at how two best friends who were arguing as if they were an old married couple. His teeth anxiously gnawed at his bottom lip and he didn't know what to do. Why was he texting him? And how the hell did he get his number even? He was utterly confused and conflicted, not really sure how to handle this moment. But he decided to reply anyways, curious about how Liam got his hands on his number.

Zayn rolled his eyes as he read the message and glanced back at Abigail and Bella who weren't paying much mind to him. He rubbed at his jaw and looked back at the chat between him and Liam, trying to figure out whether he should go or not. A part of him wanted to go desperately, but the other was too afraid that he might do something stupid that he would regret afterwards. He wasn't entirely sure.

Since then, he had refused to even think about speaking to him. It was still hard for him to get over the fact that he was beaten to death and miscarried their child. For some reason, he was the one who had guilt washing over him since the day he found out.
