The dim lighting of a lampshade scattered in the entire living room as Zayn kept glancing at Niall on the sofa. There were too many words that he wanted to voice but not had the courage to say it. He was terrified that the blonde would do something drastic—a fear that he could not handle. Zayn has seen this kind of behavior from Niall before. This was what he did before right after the abuse he took from Aiden—distancing himself from everyone. And now, the history was repeating again. He has to let Niall know that he would not let his boyfriend shoulder this kind of burden by himself.

"Niall..." Zayn called out, risking that the blonde would turn on him, but he didn't get any responses at all. The blonde was sitting on the sofa, staring intently at the wall. Zayn had to bit the inside of his cheek to restrain himself from screaming out loud.

Now, Zayn couldn't help but to blame on him. If only he insisted on accompanying him, then none of this would happen—that he would able to defend Niall from his vicious attacker. If only...

The second hand of the wall clock kept ticking—the only sound that could be heard from Zayn's flat. Even though Zayn wanted to say something, what possibly could he say to alleviate the suffering of his boyfriend? It was literally killing him that he was unable to protect the only person that matters to him.
