[Gotta stay high all my life, to forget I'm missing you]

Days go by and Zayn seems to be getting better and better at dealing with Xavier's death. Leroy been their for emotional support and Zayn is thankful for having him by his side. Zayn notices Niall strange behavior of giving him dirty looks and Leroy pushing Niall away from him. Zayn his happy that he doesn't have to talk with Niall just yet, he's still hurting and can't be suffocated with Niall's rude looks.

"Leroy, can I asked you something and promise you won't get mad." Zayn asked messing with Leroy's headband on his forehead.

"If it's about me taking a crap in your bathroom, I apologize for not warning you about the smell. It almost knock my ass on the floor."

"No, it's about Niall."

Leroy arched one eyebrow up, as he played with Zayn's raven hair, "What about Niall?"

"Does he hate me or something? I keep getting dirty looks from him and I think it's because I'm not talking to him. I just need a little more time, but it seems like he doesn't care about me. I don't wanna lose him, like I lost Xavier." Zayn choked out a whimper and Leroy comfort the small boy.

"Niall is being a gigantic prick and he just wants to be nosy AF about what's going on with you and he's very stubborn, but he's going to wait. I doubt he hates you, more like hates me because I'm hovering around you like a ufo. I'm trying to give you space until your ready to talk to him."

"Thanks Leroy for everything. I don't know how would I survive without you. Your like my guardian headband angel." Zayn giggled, kissing Leroy's cheek and cuddling with him.

"I'm honored to be your guardian headband angel and speaking of headband, I got you one." Leroy says with a smile and handing Zayn a small box.

"Really!?" Zayn eyes lit up with
excitement.

"Of course, do you want anything to drink? I'm heading into the kitchen." Leroy offered standing up.

"No thank you."

Leroy left Zayn's room to head downstairs to the kitchen to get a glass of milk and he finds Niall at the couch giving him a glare.

"Do you want me to fix your eyes for you? Cause I'm sick and tired of your pissy attitude." Leroy sassed, opening the refrigerator and taking out the carton of milk, then pouring it into a glass.

"I'm annoyed at the fact that your spending to much time with my Zayn. Why can't I see him? It's been almost a whole week since I talk to him and it's like your hiding something from me. Tell Zayn that whatever going on that he can suck it up and get out of his room." Niall snapped.

Leroy slammed the carton of milk down and faced Niall, "I'm going to say this one more time, so listen before I beat your inconsiderate prick ass. Zayn is suffering from losing Xavier and it's MY job as his best friend to make him better and you giving him nasty glares is not helping, so back the fuck up and let Zayn have his space. Oh and your sound like a controlling Harry, so you need to check your self before acting like a childish brat." Leroy snapped back taking his glass of milk heading upstairs leaving Niall to his thoughts.

Leroy hears crying inside Zayn's room and quickly goes inside to comfort him.

"Zayn, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

"You got me a brown headband." Zayn says with a weak smile.

"You don't like it?"

"No I love it, but it reminds me of Xavier because he said his favorite color is brown, like the color of my eyes." Zayn cried and Leroy hugged the boy rubbing his back.

"It's going to be okay, I'm here for you." Leroy coos.

"Why does my headband say Séx God Malik on it?"

"Because that what you are Zayn. Beautiful and perfect just like a sèx God." Leroy says snapping is fingers.

"Ok, can you help me put my headband on?" Zayn asked.

"Of course baby boy." Leroy says taking the brown headband and putting it on him.

"How does it look?"

"AmaZAYN! Yasss Twinies!" Leroy shouted mushing his face against Zayn's as he snap a few pictures.

"Can we visit Xavier's ashes by the lake next to the hospital, please, I just wanna give a proper goodbye." Zayn begged.

"Of course." Leroy says kissing Zayn's forehead.

****

Zayn and Leroy arrived at the lake were Xavier ashes were scattered, it was his dying wish and the hospital granted it.

"I'm going to sit by the other bench to give you some time alone." Leroy says and Zayn nodded.

Zayn sat at the bench closet to the lake and he just admire at how clear blue it was. A few tears rolled down Zayn's face as he remember the good times with Xavier.

"Hi Xaver, you probably can't hear me from up above in heaven with the Angels, but I wanted to say thank you for protecting me against Harry and Aurora. I feel super bad about you dying, it's not fair that you had to die that way and I blame myself for you dying. I truly love you Xavier and in the end I would've choose you over Niall." Zayn says sniffling, as he sobbed.

"I'm going to lean towards Niall for comfort and I know that sounds like Niall's rebound, but I love Niall first than I loved you. It hurts that I had to choose between you both and it's not easy that your gone, but I'm going to be happy with Niall, I may sound selfish, but I need to get over you Xavier and I'm sorry for moving on. I hope you understand that I want somebody to love me, I've been to lonely and I need someone to hold me. I'm letting you go Xavier and hopefully the spaces between us will hold our memories forever." Zayn chokes out, as he has no more tears to cry.

Zayn dries his tears with his sweater and looks over to see Leroy with headphones twerking to music, as people give him weird looks, that made Zayn gigged loudly. Zayn knows he's going to be okay because he has friends and family that he can depend on.

Zayn ran off and gave Leroy a hug and Leroy hugged back, then leaning down wiping the dried tears off Zayn's face.

"How about we get some ice-cream?"

"Double scoops!?" Zayn asked cheering, while bouncing a little.

"Ok double scoops." Leroy grins, as he puts his arm around Zayn and they headed off.
