Steal my Heart (ZARRY AU)

Chapter 23

Zayn's heart shattered to pieces. That was the most painful word that Harry said—Wishing he hadn't met Zayn.

Rodger took Zayn back to the apartment. He stayed for a while, watching his brother crying and throwing a havoc. Rodger don't want to say that he deserve it but—he deserves it.

Harry is a precious gem.

Why would Zayn do that to him? Zayn cried and cried until he fell asleep. Rodger left Zayn, locking his apartment. Rodger sighed. His brother is an idiot. He wasn't thinking on doing things. He wasn't thinking of what might happen next if he'll do this or that.

After weeks of moping and being miserable, second semester started.

Zayn wasn't in the mood to attend his classes and Rodger had been with Zayn. To make sure he's not gonna kill himself after that has happened. After Rodger closes his shop, he always checks on Zayn if he's still alive. And good thing he is.

Rodger is thankful that he only caught Zayn staring at an empty space and not killing himself. Rodger forced Zayn to get up and attend his classes but it's no use. He's too broken. Days later, Rodger went to Zayn's professors to inform them that Zayn was sick. He need to lie in order to get handouts.

After Rodger got all his handouts he stroll the Uni. So this what college kids looks like. They all looked fucked. Rodger didn't bother going to college. At the age of 10, Rodger asked their stepdad to teach him how to repair cars. Their stepdad taught Rodger to fix cars and took over their stepdad's business which is the automotive repair shop. Rodger works while Zayn studies. What else does he needs?

He was about to put on his headphones when he saw Harry, walking like a zombie.

Rodger was about to put his left headphones on when he heard an honking sound. He's eyes immediately landed at Harry and he was about to get hit by the honking car! Rodger acted fast as he ran towards Harry and grabbed him by his elbow and pulled him out of the street.

Harry landed on his butt as Rodger crouched down to him "Hey, Harry? Harry! You okeh?" Rodger gently shake him as Harry shake his head and stared at Rodger and seeing those brown eyes and tan skin, Harry jolted "Stay away!" Harry shouted as the students suddenly stopped and looked at Harry and Rodger. Harry blinked a few times and he face palmed realizing that it was Rodger who held him and not Zayn "I'm sorry" Harry said "I'm sorry, Rodger" he repeated "I thought you're Zayn" Harry mumbled as Rodger's expression softened. Rodger reached for Harry's arm and helped him get up "Are you alright?" He asked as Harry didn't answered him but took his hand anyway "Come on, let's get out of here. People are staring" Rodger said once Harry's already up. Both of them then walked out of the Uni as Rodger led Harry outside.

"I'm really sorry I shouted at you Rodger, I really thought you were Zayn" Harry softly said as Rodger and him are at the cafe near the uni. Rodger and Zayn really do look alike except, Rodger has a mature looking face compared to Zayn's and he has a goatee unlike Zayn who only has small stubble on his chin.

After the incident, Rodger brought Harry at cafe. Not the cafe where Niall works, its a different one that's just beside the Uni and its The cafe where Rodger first saw Harry.

Yes, Rodger and Harry already crossed paths and Rodger won't deny that Harry is attractive. When he first met Harry, they bumped at each other when Rodger opened the Door for him. Harry smiled politely at Rodger and because of his smile, Rodger concluded that Harry is beautiful. In fact, he can't stop staring at him. And when Rodger heard that Zayn already has a boyfriend and even showed him the photo, Rodger's breath hitched seeing Harry.

Rodger didn't interrupt their relationship but instead, he supported Zayn and he can see that Zayn was happy with Harry. But when Rodger heard what Zayn did, he wanted to punch to his brother that his soul will come out. But he didn't because he loves his brother.

Harry is too pure to be treated like shit. He'd put up with Zayn's shit and Rodger concludes that this man sitting opposite to him is a good person and too good to be with Zayn.

"I uh—I'm sorry what about happened between you and Zayn" Rodger said as Harry looked at his hands on his lap "Yeah" Harry mumbled "I wanted to ask if you're okay but I can see that you're not so—I won't ask" Rodger said as Harry nodded "I'm okay. I'm gonna be okay" Harry said as his lips quivered.

He's about to cry again!

Harry took a deep breath as he forced smile "Thank you for saving me earlier Rodger and I'm gonna be alright" Harry said as he stood "Excuse me" he said as he left the cafe. Rodger also stood as he ran and catch up to Harry.

He followed Harry, just to make sure that he won't get killed or get into any accidents because he's mind is off somewhere.
