Snowed in (1D fanfic)

Chapter 2

Zayn pov

I arrived at the pub 15 minute later after I paid the driver and made my way towards the entrance. I could hear a few voices that seemed somewhat familiar coming from inside. As I opened the heavy doors I saw a group of young men sitting by the bar talking amongst themselves. As I got closer I started to recognise the different sorts of british and a irish accent. I knew those voices too well. I was not in the mood to start a conversation with the boys, besides I already knew they wouldn't want to talk to me either. I slowly walked past them making sure not to attract attention to myself, i wasn't going to let them ruin a perfectly good night. I made my way to the back of the pub, making sure I wasn't seen, and sat myself down with my drink in hand.

4 hours and many drinks later I had decided to head home, it was now even more empty than before, Louis, Niall, Liam and Harry being the only ones still sitting at the bar. I made my way towards the exit and tried to open the door but it jammed against something and wouldn't open. I tried again but it still wouldn't budge. I looked out a window nearby only to see that the carpark and the entrance was covered in 3 foot of deep snow. I let out a loud sigh, realising that this much snow meant I would not be leaving anytime soon.
I pulled out my phone to call Gigi and let her know that I wouldn't be home for a while. I pressed the home button to turn it on only to be disappointed by a black screen and a dead battery. I knew Gigi would only be worrying about me if I didn't call her. I looked around for someone who would let me use their phone but the only people left were the four boys I least wanted to speak to. I slowly made my way over to where they were sitting. I knew this was my only option, but how much I dreaded having to speak to them was hard to put into words. As I began to walk over to them I noticed the nervous glances they gave me. I'm sure they were just as surprised to see me walking over to them as I was. I hadn't properly spoken to anyone since I had left the band five years ago.

Louis POV:

I looked up to see Zayn walking towards us. Surprised would be an understatement. Zayn who I hadn't heard from in years, Zayn that left our band in the middle of a world tour, Zayn that had bad mouthed me after he had left, was walking towards me and what used to be the rest of One Direction. I guessed the rest of the boys had noticed him too by this point, they all had slightly startled expressions on their faces. I don't think any of them had really spoken to him either, this was slightly reassuring - if none of us were on speaking terms with him I don't think he will be too chatty. "Hey," he said "I was just wondering if I could borrow one of your phones to let Gi know that i won't be home for a while?" I stayed silent, I knew if I said anything I wouldn't be able to refrain myself from letting out everything that had been building up over the past years. Just as I saw Liam take his phone out of his pocket to hand it to him Harry interrupted. "Hey?! That's all you have to say after everything that has happened? You must be joking." he spat. I was surprised to see Harry so angry, I guess there had been issues between him and Zayn too? After Harry and I had broken up I decided to stay away from social media. I knew all the gossip would've just made everything worse at the time. Harry continued to say "I don't know if everyone else has magically forgotten, but I most certainly haven't. And if you think I am just going to whatever crappy excuses you have, save it. I couldn't care less. Niall, Liam thanks so much it's been lovely catching up with you, but I will be leaving now." I will admit it did hurt that Harry hadn't even mentioned my name, but he did have a point, we hadn't said a word to each other. He grabbed his coat and stormed to the door. He pushed against the door, but it didn't move. He gestured to the bartender "Excuse me I believe this door is locked." With a puzzled look on his face the bartender walked towards Harry. He fumbled with the lock on the door for a while before turning to Harry "It's definitely not locked, must be something blocking it."

"Yeah, there's about 4 foot of snow outside. I think we will all be here for a while longer." Zayn said.
"Thanks for telling me that before I tried to open it." Harry said in frustration.
