The Good In Me [Ziam]

22

The sound of a car alarm going off woke a deep sleep Liam, he groans and brings a pillow over his head but the sound didn't stop and he was awake at this point. He threw the pillow to the side and off the bed, the alarm stopped which just made him frustrated because why couldn't it stop when he was trying to sleep. He turns to the other side of the bed, keeping his eyes closed, when his arm lands on the empty side, he opens them to see no one there.

He sits up looking to see the clothes on the dresser and the phone on the nightstand gone, which means he was gone. He wonders when he left and why. When he heard his phone ring from a distance, he realized it wasn't with him in the room and got up immediately to look for it.

Once he reached the living room and saw the device light up on the couch, he grabs it only to see it was Louis calling; disappointed it wasn't him.

"Hello"

"Hey Payno!" the loudness from his voice cause Liam to bring the phone away from his ear "geez its about time you answered, I've left a bunch of messages!"

"sorry, was asleep" he mumbles, sitting at the couch and sees the empty glass that once had water.

"I see that, long night huh?" Liam could tell Louis was smirking without even having to look at him. He leaned back and looked at the ceiling, not answering right away. He was just thinking back to the night before because he didn't understand why Zayn left, did I do something? did I say anything? "hello? Liam, you still there?"

"o-oh yea, sorry"

"What? is Zayn distracting you again?"

"He left" Louis didn't reply for a moment and Liam felt his chest begin to hurt, he didn't know why he was so upset but he was. He was hoping to wake up next to him again, seeing how peaceful and beautiful he looked asleep. He wanted to feel the warmth and comfort in his arms again. The thought caused Liams eyes to water but he tried to hold them back "so what did you need to tell me?" he lets outs the best he could but his voice cracking in the end caused Louis to worry.

"What's wrong Liam?"

"N-nothing, why'd you call Louis?"

"Liam..."

"Look if you're not going to tell me then I'm just going to hang up and go back to bed" he didn't want to yell but the more Louis pushed him, it made him want to cry. After having a terrible nightmare and then Zayn breaking his promise on being here for him, was what set him off.

"Mate, I'm just worri-" before Louis had a chance to finish, Liam hangs up and tosses his phone back on the couch. He brings his head into his hands and let his cheeks become covered in tears when remembering his dream.

The view of the living room he was in sent shivers down his spine, it was his old home, the one he had lived with his ex. He turned to the sound of footsteps coming down the the stairs and sees him, Stephen. He had on his usual suit that he wore for work, he had his suitcase in his right hand and the phone in his left as he spoke with someone on the phone.
