Fireproof // Ziam

Zayn's POV

I can't believe the Where We Are Tour is coming to an end... it felt as if we had started touring the world and singing our hearts out just yesterday!

Honestly, I think I have one of the sickest jobs; I get to travel the world with my best mates and the love of my life, it can't get any better than that! I mean, of course I missed my family because I rarely got the opportunity or time to fly home.

Yet I've been so confused about where Liam and I stand. We've had so many "Ziam moments" during the TMH Tour and also this WWA Tour as well, but he didn't see it like that; he loved Soph*a. I just don't know how he can look at me so lovingly throughout the tour, whisper into my ear at each concert, hand me whatever was thrown on stage at him every time, and let me kiss him as the lights go out if he doesn't see me more than his best mate. Those signs of affection are generally seen in couples, but somehow Liam thought it was a friendly gesture all along.

*Flashback*

I had been bullied all my life... that is until I met Liam. No one ever liked me or looked out for me like Liam did. He was a jock, extremely popular in our class.

In year 10, long before One Direction was a band, we met when his friends decided to beat me up... again. I guess Liam was tired of their crap and told them to stop. I still remember his exact words, "If you touch him one more time, even the smallest hair on hair his head, I will make it my pleasure to beat each of you up personally. Now leave him alone and find something better to do." I thanked him for saving my life; he was my superhero. I know it sounds cliché but if he hadn't done anything that day, his friends would have beat me to death.

"What's your name?" he had asked me. I was a bit disappointed he didn't know who I was but I saw past it. "Zayn," I replied softly. I saw him think for a second. "Zayn," he repeated. "That's a nice name you've got there mate. Doesn't it mean beauty in Arabic?"

I was shocked. Did he speak Arabic?

"Y-yes, yes it does," I half stammered, half spoke.

"Hmm... thought so. I'm Payne. Liam Payne. You may or may not know me, I play football and basketball here" He extended his hand to shake mine.

Of course I knew who he was. Who didn't?

I blushed a bit. "Thanks, for saving me back there. You didn't have to," I said to him.

"It's no problem mate. Don't want to see any one getting hurt. My friends can get out of control at times and I have to keep them away from that."

I admired him, he was such a leader; brave.

Ever since that day, I've been madly in love with that boy. I couldn't get him off my mind no matter how hard I tried. There was something about him that gives me goosebumps and chills. He makes me feel complete. I've been loving him for about six years now. I was fine with the feeling not being mutual, I was used to it; no one really loved me growing up.

But today is our last day of WWA and I have to admit, I'm extremely nervous. We are going to make a huge announcement later tonight AND have a livestream with our fans or as Niall says it, "t best fans in t world !"

I'll admit I'm sad that the tour is coming to an end because that means an end to my public display of affection towards Liam until we start the On The Road Again Tour.

My my, that boy has my heart; he could make it beat so fast and flutter out of control if he wanted to or he could crush it all in one move and I still love him more than anything in this world. I want to spend the rest of my life with him, but I knew the feeling wasn't mutual and I couldn't do anything about it.

Wey hey, tell me what you think of the story so far! (:

This chapter is probably crap because I'm writing this at two o'clock in the morning and I'm struggling to keep my eyes open ! Writing this, I was actually pretty confused at what I was writing but whatever, I'm super tired and can't think straight. (10/6) I feel extremely redundant right now.
