************** ZAYN POV *************

I woke up the next moring with a smile on my face. I couldnt deny that even though Livi was hurt by what Harry did I was a little bit glad he did it. Last night at the club I was sure that Harry and Livi were actually going to do something about their apparent feelings for eachother, then when Harry and Caroline kissed that went down the drain and gave me a window of oppurtunity with her. Livi was completely vulnerable and miserable for that matter. She cried on my lap the whole ride to the hotel and when we got to her room she let me hold her until she fell asleep. Her last words before drifting off was a small whisper of thank you. Even after she was fast asleep i stayed there feeling her head on my chest, breathing heavily, and peacefully dreaming her problems away. I never wanted that moment to end but I decided I was going to devote the rest of this time her with her, I would be her rock, her shoulder to lean on, I would make it so she depended on me at least as much as I wanted her. So I got up dressed quickly, made sure my hair was reasonably presentable and dashed out of my hotel door. I walked down the hallway eager to reach her door but I nearly stopped in my tracks. Harry was leaving from the direction of Livis room, grinning from ear to ear. He looked up and smiled brightly at me.

" Hola Zayn" he said giddily. He seemed over the moon

" Harry...what were you doing?" I said not wanting to sound too eager for an answer

" Just straightening a few things out." Harry said smiling, his eyes were shining like he had absolutely no care in the world " off to see Livi?!" he added brightly.

It bothered me to no end that there wasnt a hint of worry or jealousy when he asked if I was going to see Livi. He wasnt worried at all that Livi could have feelings for me or that I would try to get her? Or maybe he was just secure in Livi and His feelings for eachother....

" mhm" I answered distractedly

"Alright. See you later mate!" He called while walking past me

How could things be ok between them? I saw Caroline and Harry kiss with my own two eyes, she could have forgiven him so easily...she wasnt that weak. was she? I watched my hopes for Livi begin to dwindle. No. Im not going to just give up like this, when you really care about something you should hold your ground and work for it? Anything worth getting doesnt come easily. With a sudden burst of courage I walked up to Livis room and knocked on the door without hesitation. The door swung open instantly and Livi was smiling and her mouth was curved like she was already about to say something. When she saw that it was me she closed her mouth and instead gave me a sweet smile.

" Zayn! hey" she said kindly

" Hey, I just came to check to see how you were doing." I said searching her eyes for any sign of anger or sadness I had seen only the night before. I saw nothing, nothing but blissful contentment

" Im much better." she said, both of us still standing on either side of the door way. " Harry came here this morning and explained everything. By the way thanks for taking care of me last night; I dont know what I would have done without you. Im sorry I ruined your fun." 

"you didnt at all." I answered honestly " clubs arent really my scene anyway."

I wanted to ask her how she could buy anything Harry said especially considering he didnt come back to the room last  night but I didnt want to come off as a horrible best friend. Harry has been my mate for longer than Livi has been in my life.
