My Royal Highness (ZARRY AU)

Chapter 15

The wide doors opened as Harry entered the large hallway.

His Father and Mother are seating on their thrones as Harry slowly approached them. Harry's mom is smiling and his dad, well, as usual—serious face "Hi Darling" the Queen said as Harry smiled at her "I've called you here to tell you that we decided—" the King paused as he stared at Harry "—that I decided to appoint you as the new King" The King said as Harry's eyes widened "What?!" Harry gasped as the King nodded "Yes, from now on, on this day, I've appointed you to be the King! I'll be giving out invitations for your coronation" The King then gave Harry the sample invitation "That’s the sample invite" the King smiled at Harry as Harry tore open the invite.

His eyes widened and his heart pumping, he looked at his parents "You can't do this! I'm not yet ready!" Harry pleaded "Nonsense, we have faith in you that you can, Dear" His Mom said as Harry shake his head "I can't. I can't run this kingdom! I'm not yet in the condition to do so" Harry wanted to cry "Son, look at me" The King said as he stood and approached Harry. He put his hand on Harry's shoulder "You can do this Son, we've been preparing you this for your whole life" The King sweetly smiled at Harry. The King never shows that kind of affection towards him "Its time to put those preparations to a test. We have faith in you" The King added as Harry stared at his dad "Do you really think I can?" Harry whispery asked as the King nodded.

It's been weeks and Zayn hadn't quite put his life back together.

He's still hurting and still hoping that Harry will return.

"Who am I kidding?! He's not coming back! He's a prince for a crying out loud!" Zayn said, almost shouting. Louis and him are in a party. Zayn took another shot of vodka "Whoooo! Come on Louis! You're not drinking!" Zayn yelled.

After Harry left, Zayn had been moping around his room for a week and now, he's everywhere. Like, Zayn is always partying all night, making excuses to Gary that he won't be working. Louis grabbed Zayn by his arm "Come on Zayn, that's enough" Louis said as Zayn shook off Louis' hand "Don't be a kill joy! Have some fun!" Zayn shouted as he dance to the music.

Louis rolled his eyes and forcefully grabbed Zayn and pulled him out of the party "Hey! Quit pulling!" Zayn said as he wiggled his arms away from Louis.
Louis tightened his grip as he continued to pulled Zayn away from the party. When they've reached the pavement, Louis let Zayn go "Oh man! I hadn't have enough drinks yet" Zayn whined as Louis shook his head "You're being ridiculous Zayn, you're drunk! We're going back to the dorm" Louis said as he hold Zayn's arm, steadying him while walking.

Louis tries his best to help Zayn get back on his feet again. Harry leaving Zayn, crushed Zayn so bad. He'd been skipping classes and he doesn't paint anymore. Louis tried everything, he tried reverse psychology, hypnotization, and everything he learned from class to reverse Zayn's thinking but nothing helps.

As they've entered the dorm, Louis helped Zayn lied on his bed "Why?!" Zayn whined "Why didn't he told me Lou?! We've loved each other! I know he love me, but why didn't he told me?!" Zayn said crying as Louis sighed "Get some sleep bud" Louis said as he went to his bed and opened his phone.

Louis then smiled seeing Niall's text, they've been texting a couple of days now and Louis is just happy every time they communicate through text "How are you?" Niall texted "A little bit tired. Zayn gone drinking again, and I'm here, helping him out" Louis replied back "Don't let him drink then" Niall suggested as Louis thought of what to reply.

His fingers tapped his phone and replied back "I'll let him drink to let Harry out of his system. He'll get over it soon" Louis said as Niall hadn't texted back. Louis fell asleep waiting for his reply. It was morning when Louis saw Niall's reply "You're right. Zayn must let Harry out of his system. He'll be crowned as a King soon" Louis read as his eyes widened, Harry will be King?!

Zayn groggily opened his eyes, his head is pounding! He groaned as he slowly sat on his bed. He put his fingers on his temple, massaging them. He also looked at his side of the room, its all a mess.

His paintbrushes are everywhere and so are the crumpled papers. Zayn sighed—what are you doing Zayn?! You've been miserable when Harry left. You shouldn't be this way. You've been skipping classes and work. You have one goal remember?

To finish senior year and graduate and with this kind of attitude, you'll be left out for sure, Zayn thought. Zayn then looked at his desk, the Meteora album is still on his desk, still brand new. Zayn stood and grabbed the album "I better give this to Harry" Zayn mumbled.

Louis went back to the dorm with cupcakes and cup of coffee in hand. When he opened the door, he's shocked to see Zayn, tidying his side of the room "Well, good morning?" Louis said as he put the coffee and cupcakes on his desk "Nice to see you tidying up your room" Louis grinned as Zayn looked at him and gave out a small smile "I need to get up Lou. I can't mope around forever" Zayn said as he put all the crumpled paper in the trash can "I now know that Harry didn't intentionally hurt me and I still need answers. But for now, I need to get up. I need to put my life back together" Zayn said as Louis smiled, he wanted to hug Zayn "I'm proud of you Buddy! That's the way it should be" Louis said as Zayn nodded.

Zayn's life is slowly progressing, he just realized that moping around will not bring Harry back. He's still hurting, but Zayn knows that slowly, the pain will fade. Zayn focused his time studying and meeting the requirements on school. He is a graduating student after all. Zayn is painting again, but his paintings are off. The professors said his paintings are incredible but for Zayn, it's just merely colors and nothing else.

But at least Zayn is back on his feet again.
