015.

Zayn was confused, and he thinks he should be mad too. He's been fooled again, and this time by someone he thought was his friend. Not that Harry wasn't his friend, but he truly thought he could trust Niall. And now, because he did trust him, he felt stupid. So utterly stupid that he has fallen for yet another joke.

And it seems as if no one in this world wants him to be with Liam. Every friend of his, meaning Harry and Niall, has tried to seperate them. Harry tried to help Liam escape, in which he succeeded in. And Niall, Niall has taken Liam in and has kept him away from the person who loves him most. 

Zayn doesn't even want to begin to think of what could have went down while Liam was staying there. Doesn't want to think of the many ways Niall has betrayed him. All of this is just too much for him.  He was so desperate to get his Liam back that he had actually considered calling up Harry to help him search for the man. And calling him would automatically mean to forgive him for the thing he has done, and Zayn was actually willing to do that.

Now though, He doesn't think he's ready to forgive him, because, thanks to Niall, he is reminded of how much he has been betrayed and lied to. He's tired of it. Yet, he can't bring himself to be really mad at Niall. Maybe he didn't know Liam was his? 

But then again, the way his body went rigid when, most likely Liam, popped up, made Zayn think otherwise. Maybe he hadn't known very long, or maybe Liam wanted him to keep it a secret. And most likely, that was the case. If so, Zayn doesn't think he coud be that mad at Niall, not when Liam wanted him to do it. Because in the end, the only thing/person who mattered, was Liam.

And then again, what if it wasn't Liam? Then Zayn is just making a big deal out of nothing. Niall could have very well been telling the truth. 

Zayn doesn't know what to think. He needs answers. Answers to the questions that keep flying by in his head. The only way to find those answers, however, is to go and knock on the door of the house that belongs to the man himself.

Zayn almost gets up and does just that, though he remembered in time that he only just came from there, pushing it and going there just to find out it's not who he thinks it is will make niall exasperated. Zayn doesn't want to do that. And maybe, he also thinks this because he really needs to calm himself down if he wants to think properly.

The next day, at evening, Zayn is driving towards Niall's home. He parks out front instead of in the driveway. This will give him some time to walk and plan out what he is going to say. He doesn't normally do these things, but he doesn't want to waste Niall's time with his silly thoughts and crazy imagination. 

He rubs his palms on his jeans, not because they're sweaty, no he doesn't get sweaty palms, but because he's nervous and needs something to do rather than punch the sterring wheel. He's feeling all these various types of emotions again. Where he's Angry,confused, frantic, excited, and so much more that he can't decipher.

Why's he angry? Because it's been too long since he has seen Liam. Too long. And he just wants to hold him close whether Liam will let him or not. There's little hope in which he's holding on to, and honestly he hopes Liam is here. And if he is, there's no promises on whether Zayn will lose his temper or not. He's been known to have 'out of the blue' moment where he just does the craziest things.

He thinks maybe he should stop being a creep stalking Niall from his car, so he does just that and starts his walk up the driveway.

As soon as the door opens to a bewildered Niall, Zayn doesn't waste any time in getting straight to his point. He doesn't find the need in elongating anything, he only wants Liam home with him and then he'll be fine.

"Is Liam here?"

"What? Liam? Who's that?" Niall gets this fake skeptical look on his face that Zayn isn't buying one bit.

"Liam. Kind brown eyes,puppy looking features...You know? Liam?" Zayn honestly doesn't know any other way to describe him. Not unless Niall wanted him to get into detail of just how Liam'sbody parts looked.

"Sorry mate, I don't know what your talking about."

"Then who did I see yesterday?"

"Zayn, I told you mate, It was just my frie-

"What's his name?" And Zayn thinks he has him there because Niall honestly looks constipated trying to figure out what he should say next. Zayn knows he can't come up with a name because there is no one other than Liam. And Zayn can't help but be a bit smug about it, but also a bit angry because Niall has attempted to lie straight to his face.

And then Zayn storming past Niall. Niall tries to stop Zayn by tugging at the sleeve of his jacket. It doesn't help because he only just tugs the jacket right off of Zayn. Zayn starts rocketing towards the bedroom.

He bursts open the door to reveal a shocked and or scared Liam. Zayn somehow forcefully but calmly grabs at Liam's arm, pulling him off the bed and into the living room where he proceeded to stride towards the door.

"Zayn! Wait!" Wrong words.

"Wait? Wait for what? I've been waiting for too long now just to get Liam back and you want me to wait some more just so you can yell out some invalid excuse as to why you had him here instead of telling me? Yeah I don't think so." He tugs at Liam some more, Niall stops him again.

"I just didn't want to lose you as a friend, you have no idea how lonely I am mate." Zayn almost let's loose. Almost.

Then a fist is flying towards Niall's face, straight to the nose. Niall staggers back, and Zayn doesn't seem at least a bit regretful. But he is, He hasn't lost all respect for Niall, he figures he can forgive later on sometime.

"Ha! Friend my ass, you lied to me Niall. I don't even want to think about what you tried to do with Liam, but he's mine. Stay away from him and maybe, just maybe I'll forgive you."
