Niall and Zayn's families have been close forever, but Zayn has never liked Niall.. Like ever. Zayn bullies Niall almost to the point of no return but pretends to be nice for the sake of his parents relationship. Niall feels hopeless, he doesn't know why he gets bullied so much, all he has is his best friend Liam, while Zayn has Louis and Harry.

It's pretty clear what it means. Zayn wasn't fulfilling his end of the relationship, backing out of their commitment and possibly being unfaithful. Niall loved him but had to accept that Zayn just wasn't in it for the long-run. Amazing cover by -Mullingaar

It's the little things you're supposed to enjoy. When the sky is any color but blue or when the sun shines. But Zayn Malik... He didn't enjoy anything. Hell, he was going to die one day so why the hell get your hopes up? Zayn just didn't care about his life. He wasted it on drugs, sex, alcohol, and bumming money of his friends. But it seems to be the complete opposite for Niall Horan. Zayn didn't get the fucking idiot, maybe that's why Zayn enjoyed his presence. Niall loved everything. Every little thing. The silent beat of a butterfly's wings made his day. Zayn just didn't get him at all. But Niall got Zayn. He knew what Zayn felt and Niall knew that Zayn could be helped. But maybe Zayn wanted help. Zayn never really knew someone so happy could have such a horrible life like Niall. Maybe somewhere in there is when they fell in love. Maybe that's when Zayn can finally learn to enjoy the simplest things. Like the silent beat of a butterfly's wings.

"Niall, I'm scared." "What are you afraid of Zayn?" "I'm afraid that I'm just another person you're going to use and pretend to like me, to take away my innocents." "I won't ever do that Zayn, I promise you I won't. I will protect you against myself and the world." "Why do you have to protect yourself from me?" "Because Zayn, you're so innocent and I wanna do bad things to you." Spectacular cover By ZaynJPayne
