I'm Yours

Chapter Six

"Can I stay here for the night?"

Zayn gives me a wary look and then sighs.

"Fine. But you're sleeping on the couch." He opens the door wider to let me in.

I laugh. "Well I sure wasn't going to sleep in your bed mate."

"I can always change my mind." He threatens.

"You can, but you won't." I pat his shoulder and walk into the living room.

He shuts the door and walks into his bedroom. "Don't break anything yeah." He yells before closing his door.

Zayn's apartment is filled with random things. He calls it "art" but I call it shit. Every time I'm over here I "almost" break something. I can't help it if I'm a very curious person.

I lay on Zayn's couch and let sleep consume me, otherwise I'd be up all night.

"You stupid bitch!" I hear a loud sound.

I flinch at the harsh words and the users tone.

I stand here beside the bedroom door wondering if I should be the hero in this situation or the coward.

Before I can decide the bedroom door opens and out walks Liam.

"What are you doing here?" Liam looks pissed.

If I admit to him I had just seen and heard what he did, I know it'll drive him over the edge. So I do what I know I'm supposed to and act drunk.

"Hey m-mate." I smile grabbing his shoulder.

Liam pushes me off. "When are you gonna quit drinking, you fuck head." He shakes his head.

"Where's the bloody toilet?" I slur.

Liam points me to the bathroom. "Hurry up, I want to try my luck in a game." He says before walking downstairs.

I make sure he's far enough before rushing into the bedroom.

Soft sobs fill my ears as I spot Kira doubled over on the floor, her arms wrapped around her torso.

"Kira." I slowly approach her. It takes every inch of my being not to run over to her and hold her close to my chest.

She doesn't look up. "Go away."

I walk to her anyway. I sit beside her on the floor. "Kira." I say rubbing her back. I instantly regret my action when she flinches.

"I said go away." She croaks.

"I won't." I say sternly.

She lifts her head and stares at me with the saddest face in history. "What do you want?" She turns away when she sees my eyes widen.

The right side of her face is slightly swollen and beginning to change color. My heart races and my body fills with anger.

I move her face towards me with my finger. "I'm sorry." I pathetically say.

She pulls her face away. "I told you to go away, didn't I?" Her voice is hoarse due to her crying.

"You can't stay with him." I say, pulling her up and sitting her on the bed.

"You can't tell me what to do." She replies.

Kira and Liam have been inseparable ever since they began dating a few months ago. I never liked seeing them together. Seeing them together always triggered something inside me. It's probably because I was jealous of Liam. I won't deny it, I was and I think every one of my friends knew it. Hell, Liam himself probably knew it too. But that never stopped him from flaunting Kira in front of my face. It drove me crazy when he'd put his arm around her and when he kissed her I always found myself walking away.
