I Got Paired with a Nerd (Zayn Malik)

Chapter 10; A Story To Tell

(A//N: Hey cookies, Talia here, here's the next chapter of IGPWAN, sorry for the wait. I've been busy with my book LMLL, but now isn't the time to talk about that... The video on the side is of zayn saying 'louis, what are you doing?' like he does in the chapter, just imagine he says Leeyuum kay? ANYHOE! Please enjoy AND... ZIAM ALERT!!)

*Liam's POV*

I watched helplessly as she ran down the street to god knows where, by now, I regret leaving her without saying anything, it just made me realize how much I missed her.

Sighing, I started walking around aimlessly, hoping something good would come out of today. I pushed my bag pack up my shoulder which I hid from my mum at the restaurant.

After a few minutes, I came to a stop by the edge of a forest, I started ruling out the pro's and con's of going in there.

Pro: There might be something good behind there.

Con: I might get hurt.

Pro: You Only Live Once.

Con: You Only Die Once.... Unless your Jesus Christ...

Shrugging mentally, I started moving branches away from my body, with fail, the branches kept scratching against my body. I saw a little park ahead and started heading towards that.

I immediately stopped walking when I heard taking, I looked over a small branch to find a boy around my age sitting on a swing, he was drenched I can tell you that.

I can also tell you that he was wearing just a plain white tee and... rubber duck boxers? And maybe, just maybe, star wars socks? I don't know I can see a bit of colours on there.

I crept quietly up to the clearing, hoping to catch a few words of what he was saying, I know it's nosy, but hey, what have I got to lose? The boy moved, and a bit to quick I think because he fell off of the swing and got an angry look on his face.

"I HATE MY LIFE!" The boy belted out, making me jump back, his head snapped up and his eyes wandered the deserted park, when his eyes found me, I smirked.

"So what are you doing here? May I ask?" I questioned him, I walked out from my little hiding space and walked over to him, I grabbed the zipper to my bag and pulled out a waterproof jacket and handed it to him, his face brightened up a little bit by the small gesture.

 I raised an eyebrow at him, waiting for him to answer my question and sat down on the other swing, then he started ranting about his life, he explained about the crap he deals with everyday by a group of jocks, I was shocked, but hid it so he could continue, I sat there listening to him, and he told me everything, even though he didn't know my name.

I got up and held my hand out to him, he smiled a smile and grabbed my hand, I pulled him up and smiled at him, I started walking, gesturing for him to follow, he did as told, so I took him to a near by cafe, before we went in I stopped him and pulled out a pair of sweat from my bag that I was gonna use for working out later, and gave them to him, he gave me a questioning look, but gave me a grateful smile.

He put them on and we both walked into the small homey cafe, the warm air instantly hitting me.

We sat at a near by booth for four, and both of us put our legs up, relaxing after a stressful day.

"I'm Liam, by the way, Liam Payne" I said after a moment of silence, he held out his hand, I placed my hand in his and shook it.

"Zayn, Zayn Malik, and sorry for earlier, I was just mad and-" He started to rant, but I cut him short by waving my hand in a dismissive way and smiled.

"No, you seemed like you need to get it off your chest" I grinned, he smiled back and nodded slightly.

We spent the next hour or so talking about this girl called Sammy.

All then came Liam... I took a deep breath and began explaining my situation. I explained it from the beginning, me leaving her, not calling her, the whole marriage situation.

"... And she doesn't want to marry me, but I want to marry her.." I trailed off, wiping a stray tear from my eye.

*Hour Later*

"No! Leeyuum what you doing?" Zayn asked in a weird voice, I laughed and pushed myself higher on the swings.

At the moment, me and Zayn went to a park near my house, talking about our families, but I decided to faceplant the swing, get up and, well, swing?

I stopped swinging and brought out my phoe that was currently ringing, I checked the caller I.D to see an unknown number. I clicked 'accept' and put the blackberry to my ear.

"Hello?" I said in a questioning tone.

"Liam?" My heart fluttered at the sound of her voice, making me even more guilt than I was for leaving her..

BEEP.

The phone beeped, signalling she had hung up, I sighed and looked at the screen to see a picture of me and Tara about a week before I left.

I felt an arm go around my shoulders, pulling me into a side hug, I turned around to see Zayn with his head on my shoulder.

I hugged him back and we both quietly told eachother it would be okay.

"Malik" I heard a slow, hoarse voice say, I turned around to see a boy with bright green eyes and curly brown locks.

I turned to Zayn who had by now tensed up.

*Zayn's POV*

"Malik" I knew that voice anywhere, turning around slowly to see the same person I thought it was, ladies and fucking gentleman, my bully, Harry fucking Styles.

I tensed up quickly and shot out of the side hug I had Liam in, what? I didn't want to give him another reason for him to bully me.
