:Zayn's POV:

At work the next day, to say the least, it was quite awkward. Niall and I didn't say a word to each other. I passed him the food and he gave it to the correct customer.

Don't get me wrong. I know what I did was wrong. But I was just looking out for myself.

After work, me and Niall usually walk home together but things certainly have changed. It's almost like there's a force between us. Almost like we can't touch.

As Niall's house comes to a view, do I finally decide to say something.

"Bye Niall."

He turns around and looks at me.

"Now you wanna talk?"

I groan. I should've expected something smart to come out of his mouth. I deserve it.

"No. I was just saying-"

I'm cut off by Niall interrupting me.

"Save it." He says. He turns around and opens his door, slamming it closed.

-next day-

*at work*

Today, work actually isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I mean yeah Niall still isn't talking to me but he's starting to look into my eyes. Almost like were talking through our eyes. Yelling, screaming, cursing, everything.

As work comes to an end Niall turns around and looks at me.

"Zayn, Harry keeps asking about you and he wants to know if he can come over tonight."

"Uh.. Yeah why not.."

"Look. He doesn't have to."

"No, no it's fine. I want him too."

"Okay. Well, I'll drop him off around 7. Sound good?"

"Yeah. I'll see you around 7."

He nods his head and takes his apron off and walks out.

I have got to get ready.

*7:27*

While I'm stirring the noodles there's a knock at the door. I turn the stove down to low and rush to the door. I run my hands down my outfit.

I open the door and Niall and Harry stand there.

"Do you want to come in?"

"Um yeah. For a bit. I gotta go meet Bradlee in a bit."

"Oh.. Your still talking with him?"

"Yes Zayn."

"Okay." I open my door wider and Harry runs inside and goes straight to the kitchen. I probably should've shut the kitchen door.

"So.." Niall says.

"So.." I say.

"I'm gonna go meet Bradlee a little early. Text me when you want me to pick him up. I hope he's not too much of a handful."

"Of course not. And yeah I'll text you."

"Okay. Bye Zayn. Thanks."

"Bye Niall. Your welcome."

"Oh wait!" Niall says. He turns around and goes into the kitchen. I'm assuming he's tell Harry bye.
