"Oh my god, Y/N, I am so sorry, why haven't you told this to me before?" Zayn said still a bit shocked. You couldn't really answer though, you were still sobbing. "I will get you some water, stay here" he said while walking to the kitchen. You answered in a whisper "It's not like I want to go somewhere, do you think?". Zayn quickly rushed back to you with some water, you saw he was hesitantly with what to do. "Uhm, is it okay if I comfort you, I don't really know how you are feeling towards me anymore, but I just really want to comfort you" Zayn asked while scratching his neck and you could see he was getting nervous. "Just hug me" you said, your voice as small as it could be.
You hugged for what felt like hours, Zayn finally decided to speak up. "Y/N, I think I have to tell you something. When we first met, I was so in love with you but I knew you weren't in for a relationship so I wanted to wait for you. I didn't do anything to make it obvious to you that I liked you because I thought you weren't into me like that. After a while I started to accept that we weren't going to be in a relationship, so I decided to set those thoughts aside and look for other girls. And yeah, I found someone, I thought I loved her. But now you've said this, I don't think I can stay away from you any longer. You were not just keeping me company, I really liked your company. So maybe we can start this over?".
You stayed quiet for a while and Zayn didn't seem to mind. It was so much to process for you. "So you are saying that you like me too?" you asked Zayn a bit unsure. "Yes, I do very much Y/N" he smiled weakly at you. "But what about the other girl?" you really didn't want to ask this but you had to. "It was just a fling, I don't care about her, from now on I only care about you" he said to you while he scooted a bit closer to you. You just smiled and you didn't know what to do.
Again it was quiet for some time, you were just enjoying being in each others company. "I really like you, Y/N" Zayn said. He grabbed your face and started to give kisses everywhere, on your forehead, your nose, your cheek and eventually your lips. You giggled, you felt like your were in love for the first time. "Okay, so fresh start it is?" Zayn asked you, leaning his forehead against yours. "Yes, I would like that.
