Hate and Love ( Zarry AU)

Part 54

Harry's POV

"Harry, there is someone at the door for you", my mom shouted.

"Coming!", I screamed back, running downstairs and wondering who that could be, since I hadn't made any plans and kind of just got back from the hospital.

"Hello Hazza!", Lou greeted me and held his arms wide open and of course I immediately ran into his arms and hugged him.

"I missed you Lou!"

"I missed you too! You have no idea how worried Niall and I were!! We visited a few times to look after you, but you probably don't know that, well because you were unconscious...And Niall just found out from Liam that you're back home, so I came to see you, ehm while you're conscious again", Louis stumbled over his words and making me laugh.

"Thanks Lou, I really appreciate it!"

"Of course, you're my best friend!", Lou replied naturally, "by the way, as I best friend I was wondering how come that Liam knew you were back home, but Niall and I didn't?"

"Honestly, I don't know. Zayn probably told him", I shrugged, trying to sound casually and then added, "and yes Lou, I would have let you two know later today. I literally just got home one hour ago."

"No worries. I was just curious why Liam knew and especially now why Zayn would tell Liam that. He'd usually never do that, right?", Lou asked further. I just nodded my head. Of course Zayn had never done that in the past. Well at least I guessed so. But if he told Liam that I'm back home, he might also had told him that we were dating? Maybe? Now I was the curious one. But I guess I had to wait since Zayn and his dad hadn't been home when I got here, but were spontaneously visiting a college nearby.

"Aren't you confused why Zayn cared to tall Liam such a thing?"

"Why are you making such a big deal out of that? I'm his stepbrother after all...", I questioned back. It's not even that I didn't want to tell him about Zayn and me dating. I wanted to. Just a tiny part of me felt like he still would be hurt if I'd date someone else, especially Zayn and not him.

"Sorry, not trying to, I was just wondering", Lou apologized.

"Nah, it's okay", I assured, realizing it's better if I just tell him now instead of hiding something from him. Lou and I just started being back to best friends again and I didn't want to create problems now, that could be avoided, "actually Lou, there is something I need to tell you, but promise me to not freak out!"

"Now you're making me really curious. Just tell it already!"

"Well uhm ZaynandIaredating!", I blurted out.

"Harry can you slow down a bit so that I can actually understand what you are saying", Lou chuckled and expectantly looked up to me.

"I said that...", I took a deep breath in, hoping Lou really wouldn't freak out, before finally speaking again, "that Zayn and I are dating."

"You what???", he asked shocked and I could tell he didn't believe what I just told him.

"You are dating Zayn? Like in dating dating?"

"Yes", I sighed knowing Lou wouldn't shut up about this topic for a while.

"No way Harry. There is just now way I should believe that! I mean we are talking THE Zayn Malik here. The one person that always just either ignored, yelled, hit, kicked or hurt you in another way. And above of all that is your older stepbrother!"

"You do make it sound pretty bad", I admitted, "but I'm not lying to you."

"Alright then, then explain how did all that happen? Like since when do you like him? Since when does he like you? It all just seems very unreal?", Lou demanded confused.

Great now I had to admit to him that I had liked Zayn since the first time I met him. I hoped he wouldn't get mad, because if he knew he clearly could put two and two together and realize, that that was a main reason for me to break up with him.

"Okay, I'll tell you everything...", I sighed heavily and started telling him everything from the beginning.

"This is just... I don't know what to say. Or to think!", Lou replied when I had finally finished explaining everything.

"Are you mad at me, for you know...", I asked worriedly.

"No Haz. I told you it's all past now. I actually have to tell you some new things about my, let's call it "love-life", I'm just still surprised and it's hard for me to picture you and Zayn together. But hey that's just how I feel about it now. I'm sure with some time it'll change. Besides as long as you are happy with him, I'm happy for you! You know that, right?!", he said genuinely.

"Thanks Lou! I am happy, really happy. Zayn and I solved all of our problems, not that there won't be knew ones, but for now I'm feeling better than ever!"

"Okay, good to hear. So what are your parents saying about, well you two?"

"Let's just say that we haven't really talked to them about it. Zayn told his dad and Yaser told it my mom, but because I was in the hospital they didn't really care about it. Although I'm sure my mom has got a lot to say to that. She just hasn't so far. And honestly I am a little concerned of what she is gonna say, but we'll see. For now I don't wanna worry."

"Yeah that's a good decision. After all you just got back."

Lou decided to stay a while and I didn't mind that at all. I had missed his company. Niall's too. But oh well I would see Niall again tomorrow. Since my mom of course wants me to go to school again. And there I was dangerously injured and still gotta go to school. Totally sucks...

"Haz, your phone is ringing", Louis exclaimed and paused the movie, so that I could take the call.

I reluctantly got up from my bed and walked over to the dresser, without bothering to look who called I just picked up.

"Hello."

"Hey babe", Zayn greeted softly and even though he wasn't even here, my cheeks turned red.

"Hey...", I mumbled not wanting to call him by his nickname, since Louis was still in the room with me.

"I just wanted to check up on you, if you're doing alright."

"I'm doing good, actually Lou came to visit me. Which was a nice surprise. Gave us some time to catch up. Now we're watching a movie. So yeah I'm really good"

"I'm glad! In that case, I don't want to bother any longer. We'll see each other in a bit. Love you princess!"

I hadn't even been able to answer when Zayn had already hung up.

"Was that the boyfriend?", Lou necked, already knowing the answer.

"And what if it was?"

"Nothing you're just blushing so much. It's kinda funny. That's where I should have noticed you felt differently towards me. You kinda never blushed..."

"Lou, I...",but he interrupted me right away, "I'm sorry that was dumb of me. I promise you I'm truly over you, it's just I need a bit more time to adjust to that you are with HIM instead", Lou sighed and I knew that he meant it. I also knew that he was probably still a little more hurt than what he showed, so I decided for myself that I wouldn't speak of Zayn and I in front of Lou anymore. Maybe that would help. Hopefully.

Also if Lou was seriously mad and hurt, he would speak to me about that, I'm sure of it, so hopefully I didn't need to worry about him that much now.

"It's okay Lou, I get it. I'm gonna not talk about him", I answered nervously.

"No Haz, I don't want you to not be able to tell me things. If you wanna talk about him, that's totally okay, it's just so weird. Ups that sounded mean as well. I meant it's still really hard to believe that you and Zayn...I just can't picture it."

He was absolutely right. Zayn and I really had come a long way and I hoped things with us would just keep on getting better and better.
