Chapter 12 - Bigger Problems

Zayn’s P.O.V

I stuffed yet another shirt in my suit case and looked around once again searching for any item I had missed. When I felt a sudden buzz in my pocket I pulled out my phone and answered it.

“Hello?” I asked wondering who it was.

“Zayn?” A sad voice said at the other end of the phone.

“Niall, are you ok?” I asked knowing it was him with an Irish twang ringing in my head.

“Well, I really need to talk to all the boys and I don’t want to tell them without you. When are you coming back to London?” he asked nervously, I couldn’t help but feel concerned.

“Well actually Justin and I are both coming to London tomorrow…” I trailed off feeling a pang of guilt run through me.

“Really? Justin’s coming?” He asked confused

“Yeah he said he misses London and it’ll only be for a few days. Also I kind of have to talk to you guys too.” I said gripping the phone tighter and rubbing the back of my neck.

“Um, ok well I will see you tomorrow afternoon?” he asked.

“Yeah definitely I miss you guys.” I said chuckling.

“Bye mate.”

“Bye.” I said ending the call and slouching on the bed.

I zipped up my bag and grabbed my back pack. As I pulled my suit case out the door I did one last check to see if I hadn’t left anything. I sighed I rolled my bag down the hall way towards the elevator and stepped in. I pressed the floor of Justin’s room and pulled out my phone relieved there was no one else in the elevator. I scrolled through twitter and decided I should tweet something.

I wrote “Thanks Rome for a beautiful week but I think I’m ready to go home. #Home #London” I pressed send and locked my phone placing it in my pocket. I ran a hand through my hair and stepped out of the elevator. I walked towards Justin’s room and stopped for a moment in front of it.

Justin’s P.O.V

I heard a knock at the door and finished folding a shirt before walking towards the living room and opening the door. The door swang open and a smiling Zayn stood lifting his eyebrows as if asking a question I didn’t know how to answer. I then smiled knowing exactly what to say.

“I love you too.” I said pulling him into a tight hug.

After what felt like hours of making out. I pulled away and cuddled into Zayn’s chest with a large sigh. This was so perfect I have never felt so complete in my whole life, except for one thing, no one knew. I unhinged myself from Zayn and got up grabbing the remote.

“What movie should we get?” I asked sitting down next to him and cuddling in. As I began scrolling through the movies. I felt Zayn staring at me and looked up at him. “What?” I asked smiling.

“I’m so happy your mine.” He said biting his lip.

“And your mine…. Now what the hell are we gonna watch?” I asked glancing back at the screen

“I don’t know? Some crummy love story.” Zayn said chuckling.

After deciding on watching The Note Book, which neither of us ended up paying attention to half way though it just ended up being background noise of yet another make out session. After the movie finished which took us a while to notice, we decided to go in the hot tub and ordered some Champaign to add to the feel. The view from our balcony was breath taking with the beautiful lights reflecting on the sky. I jumped when Zayn suddenly grabbed my hand under the water. I put my glass down and lent forward kissing his soft wet lips.

 -

My eyes opened and I felt a bright light shining on my bare back I looked to my left and saw a quietly sleeping Zayn cuddled into my side. I smiled at the sight, my eyes flashed across the room as I noticed the time on the bed side clock. My eyes widened it was 10am already and our flight boarded in an hour. I slowly pulled Zayn off of me trying not to wake him. I walked over to my suit case and pulled on the first clothes I saw that were clean. I finished packing my bag and went and brushed my teeth and styled my hair. I zipped up my bag and packed up my back pack.

I turned towards the bed and walked towards Zayn.

“Babe?” I said rubbing his back shaking him a little. He mumbled loudly and rolled over his eyes still closed. I lent down and kissed him awake. His eyes flashed open and he mumbled in delight. I pulled away and smiled. “Okay. Get up. We, have a plane to catch.”

Zayn’s P.O.V

I literally fell out of the cab onto the street as Justin shoved me out into the cool London air.

“Ok well thanks Justin for shoving me. I will meet you at the hotel later ok.” I said hugging Justin goodbye. As he jumped back into the cab, I waved goodbye and lugged my bags into the lobby of my building. I walked towards the elevator still lugging my bags and pressed the number for my floor. As I stepped out of the elevator my phone rang, I stopped in my tracks and pulled out my phone and answered it.

“Where are ya?” A loud Niall screamed through the phone making me flinch.

“Well I am like ten meters away from my apartment door. Once I unpack ill come arou-“I was cut off by loud screaming and 4 loud boys crashing down the hall way towards me. I smiled and put my phone away just in time before I was smashed to the ground in a massive hug. “God I love you guys” I said rubbing Liam’s head.

They slowly untangled themselves from me and got up. I took the offer of Louis’ hand and pulled myself onto my feet. Harry put his arm around me and Niall pulled my bag along.

“How are you mate? You look really happy.” Harry stopped and looked me in the eye. “Who’d ya hook up with?” my eyes widened. What had gotten into me? Stupid love!

“Ha-ha, no just getting over some stuff.” I smiled faking, I had a feeling by the way Louis and harry were looking at me that they weren’t stupid. As we walked in the apartment I walked upstairs and dumped all my stuff on my bed and made my way back into the living room where the boys looked like they had already made themselves at home with tons of food on the coffee table and Niall already flicking through the channels on the TV. I chuckled.

“What?” they all said unison.

“I missed you guys.” I smiled sitting down on the couch next to Liam. The room went silent and Niall turned off the TV he got up and stood in the middle of the room.

“I really need to talk you guys. And this is serious……” he trailed off and rubbed his hands together the blurted. “Alexis has third stage Leukaemia.” My eyes widened.

“Oh my gosh Niall what about the babies?” Liam asked. I felt my face light up in shock.

“Wait? What? Babies? As in there is more than one?” I asked trying not to freak Niall out.

“Yeah sorry I forgot to tell you Zayn, Lexi is having twins. But they should be alright. She’s not getting treatment until after the babies are born. Unless it’s too… late….” Niall trailed off, tears beginning to roll down his cheeks. We all slowly got up one by one and hugged Niall. Turning it into one big group hug as we all sang to Niall “You and I Nothing can separate the 5 of us not even the gods above.” Which made Niall chuckle. I smiled and hugged Niall tighter.

I thought my problems were big.
