Forbidden Love

Closer to Zayn

(Tiana's POV) 

I woke up the next morning and went to the living room to see Josie and Liam on the couch. 

"Where's Lou?" I ask. 

"He left to go to some wedding with his family." Josie says. 

"Oh okay." I say and walk to the kitchen. 

I grab some cereal and eat. 

"Hey Tiana!!!" Josie yells. 

"Yea?" I say. 

"Li and I are going to the fair!!! Bye!!" she says. 

Before I could protest, both of them run out the door, too excited to notice anything around them. 

I hear someone calling from down the hall. 

"LIAM?" it sounds like its coming from the bathroom. 

I put my bowl in the sink and walk to the door. 

I knock on it lightly. 

"He just left. You okay Zayn?" I say. 

"Uhh...." he says and I slowly open the door. 

"WAIT!" he says and I stop. 

I hear some movement, and then "Okay now come." 

He's in the tub, covered in a towel with plastic covering his casts. 

"I just need some help to get into my wheelchair...." he says and points to it. 

I wheel it close to him, and I let him use my shoulder and support to get on. 

He sits down and smiles.  

"Thanks." he says. 

"No problem. Here." I say and push him out to his room. 

He smiles again but looks at me nervously. 

"Hey can you.....umm....help me get dressed?" he says, cheeks getting red. 

"Uhh sure." I grab some jeans, underwear, and a T-shirt from the draw and place it on the bed. 

"Here lift your legs up." I say and he does it. 

I slip on the boxers and he pulls it up all the way himself. 

I do the same with the jeans, and he is able to put on the T-shirt himself. 

"There we go!" I say and clap my hands together. 

"Thanks Tiana.....you'll be a great mom." he says. 

It makes my day to hear him say that, because that's what I've been trying to do for a while now. 

"Thanks." I say and find it impossible to hide my smile. 

"Wait....how did you-" I say but he cuts me off. 

"I..I saw you and James last night. You guys will make a great family." he says. 

"Thank you." I say, but my face isn't as happy as before. 

I love James. 

I really do.... 

But when I'm with him, it doesn't make me as happy as with Harry... 

And he just seems....different?

I let out a sigh and he tilts his head. 

"What's wrong?" he says. 

"A lot of things." I say. 

"Like what? You can tell me. I'll help you out." he says and smiles. 

"It's a long story...." I say. 

"I've got time." he says and winks playfully at me. 

"Okay fine...." I sit down on the bed and tell him everything that's been going on.

(Harry's POV) 

The next day I just stayed in my room, and looked at my old stuff. 

I picked up a box and opened it up. 

It had a small stack of photos and a little note. 

At the top, the note said, 'The Tiana Box:)' 

I laughed at it, and continued to read. 

'Hey Harry! I love you best friend! Happy 10th Birthday! I'm giving you this box with this camera. Take the camera, and whenever we do something fun...take a pic!! Then when you get a chance, print them out!!:)' 

I realized that only half the photos from the camera were printed out, and there was still a lot left. 

Just then I had a great idea.... 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

(Zayn's POV) 

We both sat on my bed by now, and when Tiana was finished telling the story, I was just surprised. 

She had two guys deeply in love with her... 

And maybe even 3.... 

I was snapped out of my thoughts when Tiana leans on my shoulder. 

I looked down at her and smiled. 

She smelled really good... 

Like flowers and fruit, making me inhale deeply to smell more. 

"Zayn?" she asks and leans up. 

"Uh...y-yeah?" I answer, getting out of my trance. 

"Did you just sniff me?" she asks, eyebrows raised. 

"Uhh....yea...sorry. You smell good." I say and rub my neck. 

She laughs. 

"Thanks." she says. 

After a couple of minutes of silence, she unknowingly rubs her belly from under her shirt. 

"C-can I see?" I ask and she just looks at me with an unusual expression on her face. 

"Okay...sure." she says and lifts up her shirt a bit. 

It's not that big, but you can see a small bump. 

I rub her stomach a bit and she laughs. 

"That tickles." she says. 

I laugh too, and pull away. 

By now it's 5:00 and we hear the front door open. 

Loud footsteps come all the way down the hall. 

"TIANA!?" a voice says. 

"IM IN HERE!!!" she yells and the person comes in. 

James.... 

She quickly gets up from the bed when she sees the look on his face. 

His face is red from tears, and his face is wet. 

"What happened?!?" she says, her arms on his shoulders. 

"M-My Aunt." he says and bursts into tears again. 

He leans on her shoulder and she wraps her arms around him. 

"A-a man came....she didnt k-know what he was doing...." he goes on and on, but struggles with tears. 

"Babe calm down, breathe, and tell me again." she says and it calms him down a bit. 

"He-he had a gun...at the airport.." he says and by now I'm already on the edge of my bed. 

"She-she got shot." he says and continues to cry.
