Little Me [Zerrie]

"Zayn, I know we're five minutes away from your place, but I am going to piss myself if I don't get to a bathroom now." Doniya announces and I glance over at her to see that she's literally holding her crotch to try and contain herself.

"Don, please hold it! I don't know how to get piss out of car seats!" I exclaim and she giggles but then immediately stops.

"Don't make me laugh! I'm going to piss all over your precious seats!" she warns and I keep my mouth shut and pull into a market that will surely have a restroom.

I park the car and we both get out. "Zayn, I don't need a babysitter. I'm just going to the loo."

I move close to her so no one will hear me say, "Do you see how many men are here right now, Doniya? If they see a young and pretty girl like you, they'll pounce. Trust me."

She shivers but only smiles slightly at my compliment. We walk into the store and she heads straight to the bathroom. "Don't talk to anyone and hurry up." I whisper before she goes.

I really just want to get home to Flower. I wish I could've spent the evening with her but I feel like I don't see my sisters and mother as often as I should.

Yes, they live just down the road from us and I can basically see them any time I want, but I've been so caught up with Flower that I forget about the world most of the time. She has a tendency to make me do that and I love her even more so for it.

But instead of being with Flower this evening, I had to make a trip to the hospital because Doniya was being careless with a knife and cut herself doing the dishes. As I wait for Doniya, I begin to wonder was Flower's doing right now.

I bet she's sitting on the couch, staring at her stomach and waiting for our baby girl to kick again. Selfishly, I hope she hasn't because I want to be there when she kicks again. The look of extreme happiness on my girlfriend's face when she kicked will forever be implanted in my mind and I'd kill to see it again.

"Zayn?" I finally notice Doniya standing before me and she gives me a puzzled look. "Zayn, I've been standing in front of you for, like, two minutes asking if you were ready to go."

"S-sorry, I was just--"

"Thinking about her, huh?"

I sheepishly nod and I feel my cheeks heat up. She teases me until we get to the exit and then we're back to putting up an act for the people around us, pretending that we hate each other.

"Hey, Slut." I hear an unfamiliar voice say and the rude word that has been used on the people I care about too many times sets me on edge.

I turn around to see who this man is and what he's talking about. "If I saw you naked, I'd die happy." the stranger says to...my sister?

Doniya gives him a once-over and then says, "If I saw you naked, I'd die laughing."

I bite my tongue to hold back my laughter even though this is truly an awful situation.

"Hey, Malik! You gonna control your Bitch or what?" the guy snaps at me and I fight the urge to pin him against the wall and beat him til he's red in the face. Flower will kill me if I get in a fight.

I decide to go for a lighter approach. "Oh, c'mon, man. Lighten up! You are that appealing to the eye as it is so she was just making a statement."

His jaw clenches in an intimidating way but he turns his attention away from me and back on my sister. "So, we gonna bang at your place or mine?"

Doniya crosses her arms over her heaving chest and answers, "Both. You go to yours and I'll go to mine."

It takes everything in me not to bust out laughing but when he raises my hand to smack her, I'm on him in milliseconds beating the shit out of this scumbag.

"Zayn!" I hear Doniya cry. "Zayn, get off of him!"

I do as told and get off of the man, but when he tries to stand up, I press my foot to his stomach. "Don't you ever go near her again." I sneer and he shakes.

"Let's go." I say forcefully and Doniya follows me to the car. The ride home is silent.

~*~

I drop Doniya off back at her house and then realize that no one is there. I find them all at my house and then offer to drive them home so Doniya won't be by herself. After taking them all back to their place, I finally get to see Flower.

I find her in the kitchen where I had left her hours ago so I take a running start and tackle her from behind. "Hey Baby Number One and Baby Number Two." I greet her and her stomach with our little girl inside and she abrupts into laughter.

"Hi," she brings her lips to mine in a kiss. "Is Doniya alright?"

I nod and hook my arms around her belly. She entwines our fingers and I kiss her on the should before snuggling my nose into her neck. gif to the right that reminded me of zerrie haha :D

"Are you alright?" I ask my beautiful girlfriend.

"Well, the baby hasn't kicked since you left so I'm a little upset about that, but other than that, I'm--" she stops speaking when we both feel a kick in her stomach.

She squeals and a giant smile takes over my face once again. "I love you so much." I tell her and our unborn daughter.

Two hours later, Flower falls asleep mid-sentence. I need to go to the bathroom so I try to slide out from under her without waking her up but I fail. "Zayn?"

"Hmm?" I lean my hand down to stroke her cheek.

"Since you're getting up, can you go check on Jade? See if she needs anything?"

I nod and move her hair off her face and kiss her forehead. I tread down to Jade's room and knock on the door. Maybe she's asleep...

I realize I'm wrong when the door opens and Jade is still wearing the clothes she wore today. She ushers me in and I lean against the wall near her bed.

"She told me to check in on you." I tell her and she just nods and takes a seat at the foot of her bed. I clear my throat awkwardly and ask, "So...how are you?"

Jade shrugs and picks at her nails. "How are you?"

"I asked you first." I counter and she looks away from me.

"I feel like shit." Jade answers and I chuckle.

"Maybe that's because you don't eat enough or get any fresh air. You're in this room all day long." I explain to her the facts that she probably already knows. "Perrie misses you, you know."

"Yeah," she inhales. "I know."

I give her a look, asking for permission, before I sit on her bed. She nods and I take a seat next to her. "Jade, please tell me what's going on with you. You're shutting your own best friend out. Whatever this is isn't just hurting you but it's hurting the people around you."

"Zayn, can you please just trust me when I say that I'm fine and I can handle what's happening to me right now? If it were really that big of a deal, I'd tell you guys."

I shake my head at her. "No you wouldn't," I call her out. "You'd keep it to yourself and think that it'll go away by itself, and maybe whatever this is will, but it's not good to keep things in, Jade. I mean, you're having nightmares every night for God's sake! Perrie and I take turns comforting you when you wake up screaming in the night!"

"And I'm sorry for that," she says sternly. "I really am, I just can't help it."

"Yes you can, Jade. Just tell us what's going on and we can help you with whatever this is." I tell her and when I don't get an answer from this strong-headed girl, I add, "Is it Harry?"

Her expression falters but only for a second. She quickly recovers and turns to me. "Zayn, I'm really tired. I-I'm just going to go to sleep now, alright?"

As much as I want to question the hell out of this frustrating girl, I nod and stand from her bed. Right as I'm about to exit through the door, I turn around to her and say, "At least tell Perrie what's going on. It's breaking her heart to see you this way."

And with that, I make my way back down the hall to Flower.
