Zayn's POV

Ah, what a nice day; my first day of being love-free. I took a whiff of the air and took in Liam's cologne instead of fresh air. I didn't mind though, he was just my best mate after all; nothing more and nothing less. I slowly lifted myself up from the duvet and instantly fell back down. My head hurt so much, it felt like I was being punched and kicked over and over again. My bouncing on the mattress and groans must have woken Liam, because he was propped up on one arm, just as groggy and just as hungover as I.

We both glanced at each other and laughed because we looked so stupid right now. I stopped laughing as fast as I started; my head hurt like hell when I did.

We slept it off for another two hours, until Liam's alarm went off. I got up and threw on a pair of Liam's sweats over my Marvel boxers and walked down the stairs into the kitchen. I fixed myself something to eat and carried it to the living room, where I began to flick through every channel there was trying to find the movie Iron Man.

Liam came down ten minutes later wearing a skin tight maroon tee with black skinny jeans ripped at the knees.

"Good morning Li!" I shouted enthusiastically.

He gave me a funky look; I had been giving him the same greeting everymorning - a barely audible frunt of a hello - but today, I was all smiles and laughes. He knew that I've been depressed, but he didn't know that he was the reason. It was better if he didn't know. He was shocked to see me so happy; I have been like this for about a year now, ever since him and Soph*a got together.

"Morning Zee! You're mighty chipper this morning!" He smiled a genuine smile, because his best friend was happy for once.

"So, what are you doing today?" I asked him as I finally landed on channel 426 which was playing Iron Man.

"Erm, I think I'm going to go hang out with Niall today, since Soph doesn't really want to talk to me right now," he replied a bit nervously.

My heart dropped a little when I heard that, but I quickly got over it; I was over him. "Oh, that's pretty sick I guess," I replied with a shrug.

"Yeah...hey Zee? Are you okay? You're so....blissful all of the sudden...I just want to make sure everything's okay..."

"Oh, everything's grand Liam! I think...I think I'm out of depression!" I grinned ear to ear to prove my point.

His jaw dropped. "Oh my gosh Zee! Yay! I'm so happy for you! This calls for celebration! We can do that soon okay? Ahh, I'msohappyforyouimsohappyforyouimsohappyforyou!" Liam grinned back. He knew that I've been in really bad condition, the only one in the band actually, and I know that he genuinely cares about me.

He gave me a bear hug and rocked me side to side. We stayed like this for a while until we both broke away.

"Okay, well I'm on my way to have breakfast with Niall now, call me if you need anything!" Liam said as he threw his leather jacket over his shoulders.

"Alright mate, have a good time! Bye Li!"

"See you later Zee!"
