More Than Forever

All Out Of Love?

        Zayn watched Niall sleep that night. He walked inside Niall's room and frowned deeply. Niall was curled up with his cell phone in his hand. Zayn slowly slipped it from his grasp and saw the screen was lit up. Harry's name was across it....and there were several text messages.....

Niall: He got pissed.

Harry: Why? 

Niall: He thinks I like you.

Harry: Do you?

Niall: Not like that! I'm in love with Zayn. Everything is screwed up now :(

Harry: It'll get better, Nialler. I promise.

Niall: I hope so. I went to bed mad at him. I don't have the nerve to apologize first now.

Harry: Stay strong. 

Harry: you there?

Harry: Look, just reason with him. It'll be alright.

              With tears in his eyes, Zayn looked down at Niall, "I'm sorry." he whispered then bent down and kissed Niall's hair, "I love you." he said then walked out. Zayn went out, smoked a cigarette, and thought about what all he had said to Niall. He had been cruel. He had practically accused the love of his life that he had cheated on him. Why did he act so stupid? Why? 

"Hey." a hoarse voice said. Zayn spun around, "Nialler? You alright, babe?" he quickly put out his cigarette. Nodding, Niall sat down, and yawned, "Just couldn't sleep. I heard what you said. I know you took my phone to. I'm a light sleeper." he chuckled. Frowning, Zayn shook his head, "I'm so sorry about what I did. Will you forgive me?"

"Of course, babe. It was just a stupid argument." 

Zayn knelt down in front of Niall. He gazed into his fiance's perfect eyes and smiled, "I love you."

"I love you too." Niall chuckled. "You think I was really going to stay mad at you?" 

"I thought you were going to call off the engagement." 

Niall slipped off his ring and smiled, "No. Never."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." he slipped it back on. He was getting a tan line, which meant dedication. Zayn kissed Niall's mouth and smiled again, "I love you so much." 

         Niall leaned in, his breathing uneven. He gulped and shut his eyes tightly, "I love you so much too." he opened his eyes and cupped Zayn's face, "Come on. It was just a fight."

Wincing, Zayn pulled away, "I think we're falling apart, Nialler. I really do."

Blushing, Niall nodded, "I get that feeling sometimes."

"But what would happen to the band if we broke up?"

"We would still be a band. We would just be broken up. Nothing different."

"It would be different. If we fell out of love I couldn't look at you the same way again, babe." 

"I guess it would be awkward." Niall stood up and massaged Zayn's shoulders, "Just take some time off. Give yourself a break okay?"

"As in?"

"Take a vacation. We won't have any shows for a while."

"And what about you?"

"I'll be right here. I won't be going anywhere." Niall grinned. Zayn gazed into his eyes a moment then pulled him against his chest. He cradled him, kissed him, and coddled him, "I love you. Did I say that?"

"Only about three times."

               The next morning, Niall showered, got dressed, and jumped when he saw how terrible Zayn looked, "Why aren't you dressed?"

"I'm staying in today." Zayn sighed.

"Are you sure? Don't you need to go out and....uh....have fun? What about the vacation?"

"I'm not going anywhere." he muttered then took a sip of his beer. 

"Are you sure? I mean, I think it would do you some good."

"Are you trying to get rid of me so you can screw Harry?!" Zayn snapped.

Niall's face fell, "Excuse me?"

"Oh shit. Niall....I....I....I didn't mean that! I'm sorry! It slipped!"

"But you were thinking it?! Zayn, how in the hell are you going to marry me if you can't trust me?!"

"I do trust you!"

"No, you don't! You don't trust Harry either! What the hell is wrong?!" 

"Nothing!" 

"Something is wrong! OMG!" Niall screeched and pulled at his hair. 

               Zayn picked up his cell phone and checked his text messages, "Has Harry text you?" Zayn whispered. Frowning, Niall jerked the ring off, and tossed it at Zayn, "I freaking take back what I said, Malik. We're freaking done."
