Canvas - Z.M

Chapter 13

"The problem with wanting is that it makes us weak." ― Leigh Bardugo.

Zayns POV

"We should probably go now." Candice yawns tiredly. "Some people are starting to leave."

"Not yet." I frown annoyed as I try to contain the rage and anger thats pulsing through me.

I clutch onto my glass and take down my water to stop my thirst for alcohol.

"God, you're shaking." Candice gaped. "What's wrong?" She grabs my arm.

I stand suddenly to walk outside into the smokers area to see Louis. I grab his joint he was about to puff in and he scowls.

"Hey!"

"I need it!" I say annoyed before taking a hit.

"Oh. Hey!" Louis chuckles. "I thought you were someone else."

"I'm going to kill Liam."

"What did you do this time Payne?"

"Not him!" I frown as I look over Louis side to see Liam. "The other Liam. The fuck head with Lorena."

"Oh. I see. You're jealous." Louis smirks.

I sigh annoyed. "No I'm not."

"Yes you are." Liam says.

"Mate, if you want her just grab it and like pull her towards you and if you set her free and then she comes back. She's really meant for you." Louis says before laughing.

I frown at him. "What?"

Louis frowns. "I don't know? What are we talking about?"

"Lorena!" I scowl.

"Oh, right. Chill man chill." Louis chuckles and I wait for him to say something until he turns to talk to Liam.

I roll my eyes and sigh annoyed as I bury my face into my hands. "I'm never going to get her back man."

"Who are you talking to?" Louis chuckles. "Are you talking to yourself?"

"You're too fucking high." I say annoyed.

"I'm not. You can talk to me Zayn." Liam smiles.

"No I don't like you." I chuckle before standing.

He frowns and I sigh before sitting next to Liam.

Liam pats my back. "What's up man?"

"I lo- I miss her." I quickly change my words and Liam nods.

"Right. You miss who?"

"My mum Liam." I say dryly.

"Oh that's nice." Liam smiles and I frown at him.

"I'm talking about Lorena.

"Oh right." He nods. "Thats cool."

"Are you stoned?"

"A little." He smiles cheekily and I frown.

"You said you weren't."

"He was lying fool." Louis cuts in after his ten minute space out. "Pass us the joint."

Oh. I hand him over the blunt before standing and Liam looks up at me. "You look nice." I frown at him.

"Thanks Liam." I punch his arm playfully before walking inside.

At least those two idiots managed to get my mind off a few things.

"Zayn!" A skinny brunette runs to me and grabs my arm only I realise it's Eleanor.
