Chapter 15 || • Now Or Never •

Narrator

Niall was about to place a knock on the door when he stopped halfway, looking at Zayn. The raven haired boy just gave him a smile, and that's what it. His smile gave Niall somewhat an assurance that he never knew he'll get from him, that no matter what he's going to be there. He turned his head back to the door, pushing his hand as it connects with the door knocking lightly. His other hand was held by Zayn.

For a long time, this was the first time both of them felt so close to a person. Niall built walls, secluding his real self for anyone who came near. Although, the only person he allowed inside those walls was Louis. He filled the gap which Niall thinks that's missing. Meanwhile, Zayn became devoted to his job. Knowing his job would be the key to the love he's searching for so long.

Right now, both of them are just happy. They both felt that everything was right in place. Maybe that's why the two of them couldn't be happy or contented because there was something missing. That they needed someone to fill a gap, that they thought they have forgotten well which Niall tried so hard to forget.

The door swung open, revealing Maura. "Niall! Where have you been?!" She immediately stated, stepping closer to his son.

"M-mom, I went out to...well...clear my mind, met some weird guys but Zayn came and got me home." He doesn't want to say he was almost raped. He knew his mother worried enough that he hasn't came home early so he doesn't really want to add fuel to the fire.

"Really? Zayn? Thank you for getting my baby boy." She gushed, smiling at Zayn. "M-mom!" Niall huffed, getting embarrass for being called baby boy in front of Zayn.

"You're welcome-"

"It's Maura." Niall's mom quickly interjected.

"You're welcome, Maura." He smiled because of how closer the mother and son is. "Why don't you come in, Zayn? You both look exhausted." That's why she didn't even bother to ask further questions. As long as his baby boy came home in one piece, that's all that matters. Although, she knows Niall was just partially telling the truth.

"Ah no, it's fine. Now that I know Niall's back home and safe I'm okay." He turned to Niall, "You should get a rest. It's late. I'll go ahead." Zayn turned to his heels, ready to go but Niall still had his grip on him pulling him back to place. "Stay." The raven haired boy turned back as Niall raised his head to meet with him. "Please?"

Zayn hesitated for a while before giving his answer, "S-Sure."

"Alright then, why don't you boys come in?" Maura huffed which caused the two boys to enter the room. Once the two had entered, she closed the door.

Niall sat on the couch with Zayn.

After a little while, Maura came to them holding two mugs which were blowing off steam. "Here, drink this."

"Thank you." Zayn immediately replied, taking the two mugs and handing one to Niall. Both of them took a sip of their mugs, which contained hot chocolate. "It's late now, Zayn. Why don't you stay for the night?" Maura suggested, feeling worried for the boy and it's the least she could do to thank him.

Zayn gulped his drink, "Uhm...well..." He's not sure because Harry is still waiting for him and what will he say to Harry?

"You're from shooting aren't you?" Niall murmured. "You must be really tired. Don't worry, you can sleep in my room. I'll take the couch."

"Uhm, I still need to inform Harry about it..." Zayn announced. "Oh yeah, Harry!" Niall exclaimed, completely forgetting about Zayn's manager who drove them to his home.
