The Good In Me [Ziam]

17

It was a late night at the cafe when he saw him again. After about a week and a half of not seeing him, there he was. Liam was cleaning the fryer in the kitchen when he heard the bell to the door ring and peek over to find the dark haired lad with two random women.

He hasn't noticed him so the brunette takes this chance to hide, the only other person that was working with him was Jade and she seems to have disappeared off somewhere.

"You sure it isn't closed?" A high pitched voice asks.

"Nah, doesn't close for another hour" his voice sent chills down Liam's spine but he couldn't show himself "hello can we get some food?"

Jade peaks her head from the back and sees Liam crouching in the floor of the kitchen. She opens her mouth about to ask why he was hiding until he brings a finger to his lips signaling her to not say anything. She gets the idea and looks to the front to find the reason he was hiding.

"Yes, how may I help you?" She speaks loudly walking to the front to make herself visible.

Liam hears them order their food before Jade returns "what an ass" she mumbles before starting the stove to cook whatever they wanted.

"You could take care of them on your own right?" She gives a reassuring nod towards him as he stays on the ground while she makes their food.

He felt bad for making her do all the work and whatnot but he can't see him, not now and not ever.

After that day Liam never saw him again. Louis would mention him once in a while but Liam would immediately change the subject. It's like his name was a stab in his heart. The one guy he was starting to grow feelings for, already hurt him and they weren't even together.

"Harry finally texted me" Louis mentions as they were in the middle of watching a movie. Harry and Louis haven't spoke for a while and Louis wished he knew why especially since the tall lad kept ignoring him.

"What did he say?"

"'I'm sorry'. That's it. He never said anything else just 'I'm sorry'" Louis rolls his eyes looking angrily at the tv. Liam bites his lip wanting to comfort his friend but before he even had a chance to do so a knock at the door interrupts them.

Liam walks over to the door wondering who'd be coming over this late at night but when he opens the door, his question was answered. The tattooed man that deeply hurt Liam, flicks his cigarette before stepping on it and turning to face the brunette.

Nothing is said and all Liam could think is why was he here? And how could he still be so beautiful?

"Is Louis here?" He asks with no expression on his face, like he didn't even have any reaction to seeing Liam again, especially after what happened the last time they were together.

Liam doesn't answer right away because then Louis comes up behind him to see who was at the door "what're you doing here Zayn?"
