I felt snuggling to my side and opened my eyes. I couldn't see anything but black but when I tried to move, the body wrapped around me more. I moved my ankle just a bit but hissed in pain which caused Zayn to jump up.
" Are you okay?! " he asked worried. I took a deep breath as the pain subsided.
" I'm fine. " I heard footsteps as I looked into Zayn's mesmerizing hazel brown eyes.
" Niall? I came to- Zayn? What're you doing in here? " Liam said with a glare and guilt washed over Zayn's face and I saw his eyes start to water. I brought my hand up to his face and wiped his eyes and smiled at him before looking at Liam.
" What Li? " I asked. Zayn turned around and just stared at Liam.
" I Uhm... Why is Zayn in here? " he asked me.
" Because he was crying and he came up here. " I told him and Zayn stood up slowly.
" Li... I'm really sorry.... " he said quietly. Liam looked between me and him in disbelief. He sighed and smiled at Zayn.
" I am too. I'm sorry. " I saw Zayn wipe his eyes before hugging Liam. Liam hugged him back and released him before walking to me. " Are you okay Nialler? " Liam asked concerned as he sat down beside me and examined my foot and face. I saw Zayn tense a bit and I gave him a strange look.
He just shook his head. That's weird. " Yeah I'm fine Lili! " I told Liam just before he moved my foot which made me hiss. Zayn sat down next to me and hugged me.
" Niall, I think you broke your ankle. " my head shot out if Zayn's neck and I looked at Liam.
" No! It's just twisted! It's been like this before! " I assured him. He sighed and stood up. He had this look in his eyes but I couldn't tell what it was. Zayn must've knew because he tensed and stared at the floor. His grip tightened around me.
" I'm going to go get Larry and go to Simon. Bye Z. Bye Ni. " Liam said with a smile and left. There's was talking and groaning before the door downstairs shut and the car was being drove away. I looked at Zayn who dramatically un-tensed.
" Zayn? Why were you so tense just a second ago? " I asked him and he looked down at me.
" I uh.. He... Uh... Nothing. " he stuttered.
" Zayn. Please tell me? I won't mention anything. Please? " I begged him and I knew he was about to give in. I put my best puppy dog face on and he caved.
" I think Liam likes you. More than a friend Niall. "
To say I was shocked was an understatement. My eyes were wide and I had my mouth gaping open just a bit.
" No he doesn't. Quit being ridiculous. " I told Zayn with a laugh. A nervous one.
" Do you not see the way he looks at you? The look in his eyes? It's want Niall. It's want. Jealousy. " Zayn told me with a completely straight face. I'm surprised he managed to do that. I would've started cracking up.
" But, he has Danielle! " I told him.
" It doesn't matter! Harry had Lexi and now he's with Louis. He wants to be with you Niall. There's no denying it. " I leaned back against the head board as Zayn looked down at his hands. He kept taking deep breaths almost as if he was about to cry.
" Zayn? " I whispered.
" Maybe he does deserve you. " he mumbled and I saw a tear fall.
" Why would you say that?! " I gasped out.
" Because I sure as hell don't deserve a boy as perfect as you! " he looked up and his eyes were filled with tears and it looked like if you even just dropped something he would break.
" Yeah you do Zayn. " I mumbled quietly.
" You remember the day you say me and Liam wrestling? " he suddenly asked me. His voice shaky.
" How could I forget? " I chuckle softly.
" We weren't wrestling Niall. " I looked at him confused.
" What do you mean? "
" He told me he kissed you and liked you and I lost it. I tackled him to the ground and started throwing punches at him. He was crying and when I saw you out of the corner of my eye I just froze. I couldn't move and I felt like I would just shatter. When Liam covered for me... I thought it was the best thing he's ever done. For me at least. I don't deserve you Niall. Liam does. " His voice cracked at the last words and he stood up and ran out of the room with tears falling.
I couldn't grasp anything. Zayn was hurting Liam. Again. But I thought it was just for fun. I've dated a boy who's hurt my best friend for a year now. I suddenly gasped and yelled for Zayn.
" ZAYN!!! " I yelled my loudest. I heard a choked sob before a sniffle and the raven haired boy walked back into the room. He had his head down and I could still see his body shaking and hear the sniffles.
" Hmm.? " he said shakily. He still didn't lift his head.
" Zayn, you deserve me. You deserve me just as much as Liam. More actually. " I told him but he just shook his head at me.
" No I don't Niall. " He turned around and started walking out again.
" But... "
" Don't Niall. "
" You're the only one I want to be with. "
