The Perfect Storm (Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 7 -- He's Moved On

Elsa's P.O.V.

I can't do this. I can't see him with another girl. I looked around the bathroom and spotted a window which led out to the fire escape. I made my way out the window and quickly ran down the fire escape. When I was half way around the building, I heard someone yelling my name.

"Elsa!" I heard a voice scream. I instantly turned around and saw Zayn running towards me. I wanted to run away so bad, but I knew I couldn't do that to me. Once he caught up to me, he pulled me in for a hug.

"Els, where are you going?" he asked.

"Zayn, you know I can't see him with another girl." I said.

"You heard that?" he asked.

I nodded my head and the tears fell and Zayn just stared at me.

"Do you wanna be my dirty little secret?" he smirked.

"Zayn!" I said and slapped him. "You're awful."

"I meant just a secret. We could keep you from Niall. Ya know the boys and I." he said.

"For now, I think that's best." I said.

"Alright. Do you want me to take you back to your flat?" Zayn asked.

"Actually, I was wondering if I could stay with you." I said.

For a second he didn't answer, and then all of a sudden a huge grin appeared on his face.

"I wouldn't have it any other way." he said and hugged me tight. I instantly called my mom and dad to tell them my plans and at first they didn't agree, but once I told them it was Zayn they calmed down and actually thought it could be a good idea. Zayn and I then got in his car and he drove me to my flat and once inside I talked to Lucille and she decided it was best that she head home and she also helped me pack all my stuff. After packing, Zayn and I drove her to the airport and I promised that I would come see her soon. We then headed back to Zayn's flat and he helped me bring all my stuff in and help me unpack.

"Now that unpacking is over, what do you wanna do?" he asked as he plopped down next to me on the couch.

"How about our old tradition. Watch reruns of Grey's Anatomy and order pizza?" I asked.

"That sounds awesome." he said and instantly got up to order pizza. I grabbed my Grey's Anatomy seasons out and put the first disc in and plopped on the couch. Zayn came back with two cans of soda and then sat down next to me, and pulled me close to him.

"I've missed you so much Elsa." he said while looking down at me

"I've missed you too." I smiled. He smiled back at me and leaned down to kiss my forehead.

Zayn and I have a different relationship than the other boys and I do. Before Niall and I dated, Zayn and I tried to have a relationship, but it was too weird. We both felt like we were dating our siblings, so now we're just best friends, or more like brother and sister. We have a platonic relationship, which I absolutely love.

Next Morning

When I woke up, I patted the spot next to me, expecting to feel Zayn's warm figure but he wasn't there. So, I slipped out of bed and made my way towards the kitchen and found Zayn cooking up a storm. He must have heard me because he turned around and smiled big at me.

"Good morning sleepy head." he said as he placed a plate of breakfast food on the counter. I sat down at the island and Zayn handed me a fork and I began to dig in.

"Zayn, how has he been?" I asked, now breaking the silence.

I watched as Zayn set down his coffee cup and sighed.
