The Good In Me [Ziam]

"Where the hell are you?" Niall yells through the phone, Zayn groans because he's had a migraine all day from of his lack of sleep. Once he left Liams place, it was almost 4 in the morning and wanted sleep the rest of the day before going into work. He spent hours tossing and turning in his beg, empty bed only to look it was almost 7 and he's had zero sleep.

He decided to hit the gym to maybe tire himself out and clear his head. It didn't work out because as he punched the punching bag in front of him, he saw images of Liam in his head, crying in his arms, falling asleep and holding on so tightly. His punches were weaker and he grew aggravated so he threw his stuff in his bag and left home early.

He was having a terrible morning, he just wanted to be back in Liams bed with him so he could wake up hoe beautiful eyes and warm smile. He felt bad not leaving a note or message on why he left but it was hard enough walking out the door when all he wanted was to hold him against his chest throughout the night, reminding him he was safe in his arms.

"You better be going back to Liams place" the angry tone made Zayn remember he was on the phone with Niall who was upset.

"I'm at work Niall"

"What the hell did you do to him?" Zayn was confused on why Niall was so upset, he's across the world with his family where it's probably the middle of the night but he still reminds him of the mistakes he's done. "I told him I wouldn't say anything but you really hurt him Zayn, I don't know what the fuck you did but you need to fix it"

"What did he tell you?"

"Nothing, he said he was fine but I could tell by the sound of his voice and the worried calls from Louis that there was something wrong. Louis said he was taking the next plane home because he was stressed on why his bestfriend was upset and not answering"

"Tell him not to" Zayn responds looking at the restaurant through the window.

"He won't listen"

"Make him listen" Zayn raises his voice "look I have to go into work right now but I will deal with it afterwards. I didn't know he was hurt and I'm sorry but right now isn't the time" he looked up to the roof of his car trying to calm his breathing. He was getting upset at the shit Niall was saying to him, it's not like he broke the guys heart, all he did was leave him alone in bed; why was everyone so upset?

"Just please talk to him, I'll call Louis"

"Ok, bye" Niall mutters a 'goodbye' himself and hangs up. He was already about 5 minutes late to work but didn't care one bit, it was a Friday and he knew it was going to be a shitty night. He decided to take a cigarette and smoke one before going in because of all the stress he was feeling throughout the day.

He picked up his phone and opened the text message app, he hesitated in clicking Liams name but did so anyways. He needed to make sure he was okay, despite wanting to back off. Maybe that's why liams upset, maybe he actually did develop feelings for Zayn and was hurt to see he left him without a word. It's exactly what Zayn didn't want to happen, he didn't want Liam to have any type of feelings towards him.
