Zayn's POV

Lou and Haz were snuggled up next to each other, the smaller, brown-haired boy snoring slightly into the larger, curly black-haired lad. We were recording three songs today - none of which were mine and that upset me. I hated that feeling; whenever I try and put effort into something, it all goes to waste. I wrote four songs, and none of them made it to the album. Frustrated, I sighed rather loudly.

Liam heard and glanced over. "You alright Zee?" With worry plastered all over his face.

"Yeah, I'm grand," I said sarcastically.

"Do you want to talk about it babe?" He covered his mouth as soon as the word 'babe' came out. "I didn't mean to say that, I-"

I chuckled at how cute he was being. "It's alright babe," I smiled.

He smiled back.

Something felt so right about us calling each other babe...what the fiji Zayn? You got over him ages ago, what's this monkey business? Liam is happy with Soph*a so why am I even having these thoughts?

"Are you sure there's nothing wrong?" his voice broke into my thoughts.

"Yeah...everything's...everything fine. Don't worry about me," I said.

I smiled lightly at him, hoping he would believe the smile. And he did; he always did.

I sighed and walked away. I needed to calm myself down so I went outside for a smoke. After standing outside for about five minutes, Liam and Louis appeared next to me. Can I ever get some alone time? Damn.

"Well good morning Sleeping Beauty!" I joked to Louis.

He ignored me. "Mind if we join you?" he asked rather annoyed. He was always grumpy when he woke up. They both lit their cigarettes before I had the chance to say anything.

"Well you've already lit up, so I mean I guess," the annoyance prominent in my voice.

"Well isn't someone in a bad mood?" Louis said in a tone that made me want to sock him in the face.

I shot him a warning glare and put out my cig moments later. I walked back in, desperate for some time alone. I picked up Niall's electric guitar and began strumming a bit to a tune I knew well. I began humming.

It's been so long, its been so long, maybe we're fireproof...

I was interrupted by someone shouting, "BOYS??? HURRY UP AND GET YOUR ARSES OVER HERE BEFORE I DRAG THEM HERE"
