**Zayn’s POV**
HARREH
Oh no
I NEED YOUR HELP
Are you dying?
YES well not literally but YES I AM DYING.
Does it have something to do with your ex?
Wow you’re good. LOUIS HAS A ANOTHER BOYFRIEND ALREADY!!
And this concerns me how?
You’re my best friend, help me with this. I was in love with Louis.
Do you want to come over? I have ice cream and we can order pizza if you want. And how did you find out that he has a bf?
I still follow him on Instagram and Twitter duh. I’ll be over in 10 mins.
Kay
Ten minutes later I’m letting myself in Harry’s house with the key he keeps under a rock.
“Honey, I’m home.” I yell. I can actually hear Harry roll his eyes from the kitchen.
“Twenty-five minutes? Okay, bye.” Harry said the placed his phone on the kitchen counter. “My parents are out of town for the weekend, and they told me not to have anyone over. Let’s go in the living room.” He said. We walked into the next room. He sat on the couch and patted the spot next to him. I sit down and Harry places his hand on my shoulder and starts rubbing it. “So what leads you believe Louis has a new boyfriend?”
“Well, first he tweeted about it being a good day,” I pause to unlock my phone and open Instagram. “Then, he posted this picture:”
“The caption says ‘Teaching him the piano’. He never taught me how to play the piano.” I huff. Harry squeezes my shoulder reassuringly.
“I could teach you.” He suggested.
“It’s not about the piano Harry!” I semi-yelled. I lowered my voice and continued. “Sorry. I was in love with him- I still love him. I will alway care for him, and I told him that. It’s probably the only reason we’re friends. I just don’t understand how he moved on so quickly and I’m still wallowing.” I didn’t even know I started crying until Harry turned my head to wiped my tears away.
“What do you want to do about it?” Harry asked.
“I need to move on. But I want to show him that I already moved on.” Suddenly an idea popped into my head. I opened my camera app. “Kiss me.”
“What?”
“Just do it.” He didn’t question me again and leaned down to capture my lips in his own. I almost forgot my plan as I pressed my lips back against his and took the picture. I pulled away right after and avoided eye contact with Harry as I went back to Instagram and posted the photo.
“Officially yours @/harrystyles”
Harry was about to say something when, the sound of the doorbell rang through the house.
“That’s the pizza.” Harry said as he stood up. During his absence, I checked Instagram and noticed that the post of Harry and I already had 1,639 likes. Did I forget to mention that I’m Instagram-famous? Well I am. “Zayn! Get your lazy ass in here.” Harry called. Rude. I slipped my phone back into my pocket and walked into the kitchen.
“What kind of pizza did you get?” I asked.
“Plain, I wasn’t really sure what you would have wanted.” He shrugged, took a slice, put it on a plate at walked out of the kitchen. I was about to reach for a slice when I felt my phone vibrate. It was a text from my friend Niall.
What the f-ck!?
Hello to you too
This is not the time for formality. Are you and Harry dating? Why did you post a photo of you two kissing? Why was I not informed? Why don’t you love me anymore? Don’t you value our friendship?
No, it’s complicated, because it’s not important, I love you more than I love drawing, our friendship is the most important thing to me.
Does it have something to do with your ex?
First of all, how does everyone know that? Second of all, maybe??
Wait
Is this because he posted a photo with that guy?
Yeah…
Zayn.
What?
That’s not his boyfriend.
That’s his cousin.
You’re kidding me right?
I wish I was.
Ugh okay. Thanks Niall.
You’re welcome? Anyways I’ll see you later.
Later
Well that couldn’t have gone worse.
“Zayn? Are you okay?” It might get worse.
“Uh, yeah. Just got distracted.” I quickly grabbed a slice of pizza and slabbed it on to a plate. I walked back into the living room Harry was eating and watching some tv show. I sat next to him.
About an hour and four slices of pizza later, we were cuddled up together on the couch watching some romantic comedy. It was half ten at night and I was half asleep. My thoughts were keeping me awake. I was thinking about the kiss Harry and I shared earlier and if he felt anything. I was also trying to figure out if I felt anything then, or feel anything now. Cuddling with him was okay, but it didn’t feel right. I forced myself to stop thinking about it and focus on sleeping.
~Morning~
I wake up due to my pillow moving. Wait, what? Oh yeah. Harry. I opened my eyes, blinked a few times until I adjusted to the light, and checked to see if Harry was awake. He wasn’t. I decided on not waking him up and just leaving; I’ll text him later. I carefully stand up and walk out the door. About ten minutes later I’m in my house, plopping onto the couch. I’m not even on the couch for one minute before my phone goes off twice. I have two text notifications. The first one is from Harry.
Hey I noticed you left. Things aren’t going to be awkward cause of last night, right?
Things will only be awkward if we make them awkward.
The next text is from Louis. Wait, Louis?
Coffee at twelve. You know where.
I’ll be there.
Why would Louis want to meet me for coffee? Especially at the place we went to all the time when we were dating. Wouldn’t he rather be with his new boyfriend?
That’s his cousin.
Does Louis want to talk to me about Harry? Oh sh-t. I forgot Louis and I have this thing where we would tell each other that we started dating another person. Should I delete the photo? Nah.
I get off of the couch and walk into my bathroom to take a quick shower.
~later~
I’m at the coffee shop waiting for Louis to arrive. I sat at the table that we would usually sit at when we came here together. In all honesty, I didn’t even mean to sit here; it was a force of habit. About 10 minutes after I arrived, Louis walked in.
“Hey.” I said as he walked over to the table.
“You’ve got some explaining to do.” He said, sitting down across from me. He grabs the coffee I bought for him with one hand and pulls his phone out from his pocket, unlocks it, pokes it a few times, and places it down in front of me with the other hand. On the screen is my most recent photo on Instagram.
“Do you want the truth or a lie?”
“Hmm let’s hear the lie first.” He smirked at me.
“Harry and I are dating.” I lie, obviously.
“And the truth?” He asked.
“I thought your cousin was your new boyfriend, I got jealous and wanted to show you that had also moved on. In reality, I know that I will never be able to move on and that I will always be in love with you. That’s the truth.”
“Let me tell you something, Zayn. I have been really thinking about some things for a few days; one of these things being our relationship. We broke up because I didn’t feel the same way towards you as you felt towards me. That was the exact opposite of how I felt. I was madly in love with you, but I was afraid to admit it to myself. I was scared that if I put my feelings out in the open, they would get crushed. Last week I was wondering where we would be in our relationship if I had actually embraced my feelings instead of running from them. So this morning, when I saw that picture, I was crushed. I thought that I had lost any chance that I might have had to get back together with you. I asked you to come here immediately after I saw the picture. I was not only sad about there being no chance of us getting back together, I was upset because I thought you broke our promise to tell each other if we start seeing other people. However,” he paused. He reached across the table and grabbed my hand. “I still have extremely strong feelings for you, Zayn, and I was wondering if we could try again?”
“A-are you sure?” I questioned. I don’t understand why he would want to get back together with me after I had put him through what I did. If I were him, I’d run and never look back.
“I’ve never been more sure about anything else in my entire life.” He smiled at me, taking a quick sip of his coffee. I gave him a shy smile back and squeezed his hand.
“Let’s try again.”
