Part 34 (Final)

Zayn woke up to the sound of his alarm clock ringing. As much as he was hoping otherwise, he didn't get much sleep last night. Then again, he didn't expect to, since he came home to a slurring Harry on their anniversary last night.

At the thought of Harry, he looked down to see him sleeping peacefully beside him and he just realized Harry must have huddled up against his back last night while he slept. Considering this bed was king size and Harry was right up under him, Zayn knew that Harry fell asleep before he sobered up. Or else, he would have known Zayn was angry and didn't want to be touched. For that reason, he didn't know whether to feel sorry for him or not.

Zayn was careful not to wake him as he made his way to the bathroom for a quick shower. Today was a big day. The CEO of the company he worked for wanted to talk to him and have dinner with him. This wasn't something that just happened every day, so it must've been something big. And he was bothered, nervous and excited.

After his fifteen minute shower, he got out, put on his clothes, grabbed his important things and made his way down the hallway to Liam's room.

"Li. It's me." He said as he shook the sleeping boy awake.

"Daddy?"

"Yeah, it's me. I came to tell you goodbye because I might not see you tonight, okay? I love you. Go back to sleep." And he kissed his head. He was sure to retuck Bear in with him as well before he left the room and headed for work.

Night had already come but dinner had finally passed and Zayn didn't know what to say. He had really big news that he couldn't wait to tell him. He knew it was after almost ten o'clock and that Liam had been in bed over an hour ago. But he still couldn't wait to share it with Harry.

Once he parked the car in the driveway, he got out with his computer bag and he quickly unlocked the door, letting himself in. All the lights in the house were off, but he knew his way around, so he locked the door and made his way upstairs. The only light that was on, was coming from his bedroom.

"Haz?"

"Zayn?"

He sat the bag down on the floor against the wall when he realized the voice sounded muffled. It was coming from the bathroom, so he made his way to it.

When he walked all the way in, he was puzzled at what he saw. Harry was sitting on his knees at the toilet and it was obvious that he was crying.

"What's wrong?" He asked and he rushed over to him.

Harry immediately wrapped his arms around his legs and hugged them. "I thought you left. What took you so long?" He wailed. "Why did it take you so long to come back?"

Zayn looked around with confusion and turned his face up in disgust when he noticed vomit in the toilet. Harry must have cried so much, he made himself throw up.

"Please don't go, Zayn! I promise I'll do better. I'll change. I'll be a better boyfriend and a better father to Liam. I won't do it again. Just don't leave."

"What... What's going on?"

"I'm sorry." Harry sobbed onto his suit. "I'm so sorry. I won't hurt you again. Just stay please. Just stay." His bottom lip wobbled and he looked at Zayn with bloodshot eyes. Zayn couldn't believe it. He had never seen Harry on his knees begging like that before.

"I'm not angry, Harry." He sighed.

"But I fucked up. I messed up our anniversary and I can't take it back." Zayn nodded down at him and carded his fingers through his hair. "I know but it's okay."
