Chapter 9 - Tell me a lie

Liam rolled over over and over again. All the boys who were out were back except Zayn. Where could he be now, in the middle of the night. He wouldn't do anything stupid.. would he? Liam let out a moan as he thought about the worst that could happen, that he lost his friend, who was also his mate, his brother.. and most importantly, when he thought he loved Zayn too. Oh what on earth were you thinking Liam? That could never EVER happened. But... what if it did? What if he had said, said to Zayn that he loved the boy too? Would it be this complicated? Would Zayn disappear in the middle of the night? It might be worse,wasn't it, when they had to keep their little secret from everyone?

It didn't matter to Liam anymore. He just wanted to see Zayn home, safe and sound. It was the first time since they moved that Zayn spent time overnight without texting Liam. It really hurt. Liam missed Zayn's jokes, Zayn's smile, Zayn's laughter. Without the playboy, the room was so empty and the night was so lonely. Liam had been waiting for Zayn the whole night until 3 AM in the morning hoping that the boy would call him and ask him to open the door.But finally, Liam had amitted defeat when he could no longer resist the comfortable bed laying in front of his eyes.

"WHAT DID YOU DO LAST NIGHT WHEN YOU DIDN'T GO HOME MISTER MALIK?" Liam was aoken up by a sound of Simon which he thought the sky was falling down. What the hell was that? Simon Cowell? Here? In the break of dawn? (Liam looked at the clock on the wal and found he was just sleeping for 2 and a half hours. And yet, what did uncle Simmy say? ZAYN WAS BACK? In a blink of an eye, Liam found himself grab for the coat and head downstairs. It was really weird for him to get out of bed in such hour right after hearing Zayn's name. It was like instinct, magnet.. he didn't even know anymore.

Liam walked towards the table when found the two men was sitting there talking, well arguing actually. "Vas happenin guys?" Liam didn't know if he was allow to call Simon 'guy', but Liam had head for nothing but Zayn now.

Zayn looked up and caught Liam's eyes. And for a moment, Liam thought he died, but then he quickly looked away to Simon, asking for what happened, although he had already known

"There's no space left for you in this conversation Liam, so don't poke your nose into our bussiness." Zayn stated nonchalantly. Liam knew the boy was just mad at him, but he could also hear the sound of his heart being torn.

"Behave yourself Zayn! He's your bandmate and seriously, the behavour wil kick you out of the band in no time." Simon seemed piss. He must have been angry since Zayn was overnight.

Anyhow, Zayn didn't seem to care about what Simon said. His face was nonchalant. In contrast, Liam seemed to freak out. Wouldn't it be his fault if One Direction split. And more painfully, he wouldn't be able to see the black-haired boy again.

"Oh my god. Is it about Zayn left home without permission? I'm so sorry. He told me that and asked me to report back, but I'M was absent-minded enough to forget everything!" Unbelievable! Splendid! Zayn knew Liam was telling lie, and that was the most stupid lie he had ever heard. How the hell can he forgetbthat HIS ROOMMATE was absent?

But it seemed like Zayn was the only person who could spot out the stupidity in Liam's sentence. And the arguement seemed to have reached it's end when Simon said. "Oh yeah and now it is miter Payne. You've got a lot of explanation to do Liam... but after I get back from my work."

Liam sighed in relief while Zayn secretly observed him and Simon walked towards the doorway. "Tell the boys I say hi"

Simon left and the roon was once again filled with silence.

"I'm back to my room now." Zayn spoke first, tore the silence. He didn't even ask why Liam told such lie. He didn't care about Liam anymore, and it really hurt. Zayn was stupid.

"Wait where do you think you're going?" Liam put his arms on Zayn's shoulders to stop the boy. "You haven't told me what you'd don-"

Zayn pushed Liam's hands out of his shoulders. "Don't touch me. And that's none of your bussiness!"

Liam was taken aback. He opened his mouth and then shut, like a fish out of water, litterally. Zayn hated him. The only thing he could say now was that Zayn really hate him!

"Oh and if you must know," Zayn saw Liam's awkward moment and he wanted the boy to know how miserable his life was when Liam turned him down. He wanted to see more of Liam. "I hooked up with your ex. What is her name? Oh, Alisa!"

Liam widened his eyes, what did Zayn just said? How could he? Yesterday Zayn said he was in love with Liam, and the next day, he said he had hooked up with Liam's ex. What was that supposed to mean? Which word came from his heart?
