Chapter 16

*Alex's POV*

"Bye guys!" I said to Ryan and Chantelle as I opened the front door.

I entered the house and locked the door, turning around to see Niall smiling at me.

"What..?" I asked him, slightly confused.

"Did you bring any food?" He asked excitedly.

"No. I was too busy partying." I lied.

He believed me and nodded, walking away to the living room. I laughed and walked up to my room.

I changed into my PJ's and picked up the plate I had brought, covered in foil.

I skipped down stairs and sat beside Niall who was still upset. I put the plate on his lap and he looked up at me.

"Food?" he asked. I nodded and he attacked me in a hug.

"You act like you haven't eating in years." Harry laughed.

"I haven't. Alex, while you were gone, they have been starving me." he pouted, mouth full of ribs.

"Niall, we had pizza 10 minutes ago." Liam said.

"Shut up." He stuffed his mouth with more food.

I looked around and noticed Zayn wasn't there.

"Where's Zayn?" I asked.

"He went out somewhere." Harry replied. I nodded and looked at the blank TV screen.

Typical Zayn, probably out getting hammered again.

"Enough about Zayn, we're gonna watch a movie." Louis declared loudly.

"What movie?" Chloe asked us.

"Toy Story." Liam suggested.

"No babe, we've watched that millions of times." Danielle said.

"Lets watch Love Actually." Harry said.

"Yeah!" Chloe agreed. Harry smiled and kissed her cheek.

"I'm in the mood to watch Nemo." Niall added. I sat back in my seat and watched as they all started bickering about what movie to watch.

"SHUT UP!" Liam shouted, causing everyone to quieten down. " I think we should let Alex decide."

They all looked at me.

"Um.. I would like to watch Finding Nemo." I told them, earning a grin from Niall. Louis ran to put the DVD in as someone else switched the light off.

"Are you okay? You're pretty quiet?" Niall whispered as the movie started.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I smiled at him.

"Okay, love. If you say so." he said, putting his arm round me and hugging me.

"Look at Niall and Alex getting all comfy over there." Chloe wigfled her brows. Niall and I just laughed.

I couldn't concentrate on the movie, my mind kept drifting to Zayn. Did he really mean what he said? Well, probably because it's true. I am all those things.

I wonder where he is now and I hope he is safe.

I need to stop. Why am I thinking all these things, especially when he was horrible to me. I'm not letting him off the hook that easily. I hate him... I should. But why do I like him?

I'm such a strange person.

"Alex.." Niall shook me. I snapped out of my trance and looked up to fine that the TV was off and everyone was gone.

"Where is everyone? What happened?" I asked.

"They've gone to bed. You were day dreaming.." He said yawning.

"Oh oay, you you can go to bed. I think I'll watch TV for while." I told him.

"You sure?" he asked sleepily.

I nodded and he walked off. I heard his door shut and I just sat there for a couple more moments. I really should go to bed..

I stood up and started walking upstairs when I heard the front door slam. I looked downstairs to see Zayn stumbling towards the stairs. He saw me and grinned.

"Lex..Is that you?" He slurred, clearly drunk. He tried to come upstairs but nearly tripped.

"Yeah." I said, rushing to help him upstairs. He put his arm round me as I tried to drag him up. I took him into his room and lay him on the bed

"Lexa, I love you, you know that? I only do these things to help you. And I love you." He slurred and grinned. I rolled my eyes as took his shoes off. How much had he drank?

"Yes, I know Zayn. Now go to bed." I said covering him with the blanket. I turned around and walked to the door.

"Lex?" I heard him say.

"Yes Zayn?" I said,turning around again.

"Will you stay?" he asked, stretching his hand out. I shook my head.

"I have to go to bed." I whispered.

"Please?" he asked. He looked so vulnerable.

I know I was angry with him but he's my Zaynie. I'm always there for him. I nodded and climbed beside him in the bed.

"No funny business." I told him firmly.

"But babe, I'm a comedian. I'm full of funny business." He laughed quietly. I smiled and shook my head, turning away from him.

I felt his arm go round my waist and pull me closer to him. I struggled to get out of his grasp. I finally got away and turned around to see he was asleep with his mouth open.

I sighed, before turning around and going to sleep.

I put a picture of Alexandra at the side.
