Always In My Heart (Sequel To Love Hurts)

Chapter 20

"You're smoking again, things that bad huh?" Jake asked.

Zayn looked on as his dog seem to be getting frisky with a massive bulldog. He wouldn't mind one, a bulldog, it's fitting. He's been wearing lots of black lately and leather jacket Harry bought for him at a flea market. It had a worn out look but soft as fuck. His smoking again, nicotine free, he doesn't miss smoking but he needs something to do with his hands.

Befitting isn't it? Liam, bought him the cigarettes, the other Liam, his new bff indeed, as his own Liam seem to have jumped ship after Louis left. He's been sitting on a fence for a long time guess his ass fucking hurts he hopped off. Well, its whatever. You're not growing if you don't lose friends along the way, right?

"You're here during working hours, things that bad at work huh?" Zayn said looking around the park, it was not that busy, people were at work probably.

Jake tutted, "Ah, the new Zayn everyone is talking about, coldness master."

"By everyone you mean Liam then, Jake, cause none of my 'real' friends talk to you"

"I'm not involved in whatever fight you guys have going on, so don't shoot the messenger, mate."

"What you're doing here then, putting yourself in the middle of firing line?" Zayn said looking at him.

"Louis_"

"What about him?" Zayn cut him off to ask. Suddenly he wished there was just a bit of nicotine in his fake cigarette.

"Have you talked to him?" Jake asked shivering a bit it from the cold, he can't believe how Zayn looked so relaxed when himself was bloody freezing.

"Have you talked to him, Jake?" Zayn asked.

Jake shook his head, "No"

Zayn clicked his tongue."It's a no for me as well, mate"

"I'm just surprised why you guys fell out though. I mean you were always tight.."

"Too tight.." Zayn commented,

"Exactly, so what happened?"

"I like how you're not asking about your child he didn't get rid of but you want receipts on why we're not talking, Jake. Talk about priorities, mate"

Jake scoffed, "Wow, you are cold hearted, ain't you? What do you mean by getting rid of?"

"Louis was about to have an abortion but he's five months pregnant, so that was cancelled." Zayn said matter of factly.

Jake frowned staring at him. "Whatever it is might be big for you to be this dismissive of Louis then"

"We fucked, is that big enough for you?" Zayn said eyes on Jake's groin for a second then back at Jake's eyes.

"You what?" Jake said getting into Zayn's personal space,

"Careful mate, I'm carrying.." Zayn opened his jacket to show him his gun. Another one of Harry's surprise or necessity as he called it.

"Zayn..are you fucking crazy? You've got children in the house, that's not safe to carry around.."

"Tell that to Harry, Niall and the officer who suggested it as Cowell has friends on the outside. I'm not quite out of danger.."

"What you talking about, Cowell is back in jail, isn't he?"

"He bailed out and came to finish his job in my house. I lost my child did everyone also tell you that, huh? Am I supposed to be warm after nearly getting raped in my own house and have my child punched out of me? How about you tell everyone to fuck off. I'm hurting, I may have cheated on my husband but I'm hurting on how my life had been fucked up for the last two months. So if you're here cause Liam think I'm a bad friend to Louis, you can fuck off mate with your opinion" Zayn said whistling to get his dog's attention and left Jake frowning at his back.
