Chapter 17.

The next day, I had just ignored Zayn. Every time he tried to talk, I didn't listen. I didn't even spoke to Alia or my parents. I even avoided Muskaan, because she would catch my lie easily. I just spent my day in El's bed. Scribbling my thoughts on papers. This was normal for me, if I wasn't able to speak about my problems to anyone, I would start sketching. But the sketches were according to my mood. Today, I drew a heart with wings, which had a sword inserted inside it. It showed my emotions. I was heartbroken.

This was the reason, I was afraid to confess my feelings for Zayn. I knew if he broke my heart, it wouldn't be easy to cope up. My vision became blurry as I remembered the picture from yesterday, and all the moments of me and Zayn.

I heard the door open, so I quickly wiped my tears and started giving my sketch some finishing touches.

"Hey..." I looked up to find Liam looking at me, at the door.

"Can I come in?" He asked, I nodded and smiled. I closed my sketchbook and kept it on the nightstand. He came and sat in front of me.

"Just, came by to check out how you're doing.." He said and smiled.

"Thanks Li, I'm good." I replied.

"You were sketching?" He pointed at my messy, graphite coated fingers. I nodded.

"Can I see?" He asked, I bit my lower lip nervously.

"Please?" He asked again, this time giving me puppy eyes.

"Don't give me that look.. fine". I said, still unsure. He smiled and took the sketchbook. He scrolled through almost every sketch.

"You have our sketches too.." He looked at me and nodded proudly. I slightly laughed.

"You did this with pens?" He was amazed.

"Yea, not a big deal." I shrugged. It really wasn't, I was used to this.

"It is, for me." I smiled at his sentence.

"You really have to draw something like this?" He asked as he reached the today's sketch. I sighed.

"I can't help it Liam.. Art is my best way of expressing feelings." I said leaning my head against the headboard, the waterworks were here again.

"You know what.. I think you should talk.." He said as he gave my hand a light squeeze.

"To him..?" I laughed sarcastically. "No way!" I added.

"Not to him Ash... you should talk to someone about how to feel. Don't let your thoughts be in there for longer time." He said tapping my head. I sighed.

"If I feel like that.. I will." I assured him.

"Don't forget Ash, if you wanna talk, your brother's always here." He said widening his arms. I laughed slightly and hugged him. We pulled away after a bear hug.

"Now! Come for lunch in Harry's room!" He said getting up.

"No Liam.. I'm not hungry." I shook my head.

"Make up something else love! You said that for breakfast too.. come on now." He said taking my hands and dragging me from the bed.

"Liam! Leave me alone!" I said as I gave him an annoyed look.

"Please....?" He gave me those puppy eyes again.

"Ughh... I told you don't use them!" I said rolling my eyes. He laughed.
