"What the fuck", Harry shouted as he let Liam come inside. He didn't want to though but if anyone else saw Liam, he would probably get killed. Not that Harry cared about him, it's just that Harry, Louis and Zayn will be interrogated for that and Harry doesn't want to have more unwanted problems.

"Zayn", Liam said, completely ignoring Harry. Zayn smiled brightly at Liam and hugged him. Liam was shocked because he and Zayn were never close but reciprocated the hug because he had realised that Zayn wasn't bad and he had been going through a lot. Maybe seeing someone whom he had known for long, made him happy.

It gave another reason to Harry to kill Liam. Harry was jealous. He would never admit that but he was. Zayn's eyes were sparkling with happiness, all because of Liam and that stirred something inside Harry.

His jaw clenched with anger as he saw the other two interact.

"I am so sorry for whatever you are going through", Liam said in a dejected voice. "I-i tried to stop Zafar but you know him. He doesn't listen to anyone"

"I understand", Zayn said, looking down.

"Okay! Cut this drama! Payne, what the fuck are you doing here?? ", Harry growled.

"Harry! Calm down, okay. I am here to talk with Louis", Liam said in a hushed voice.

"No!", Harry said, sternly. "First, of all its Styles for you and don't even try to call me by my first name next time. Second of all, I won't let you talk to him. I know you will ask him for forgiveness and say a loads of bullshit excuses to make him forgive you
but I won't let that happen so, get your sorry ass outa here"

Zayn kept quiet because Harry looked really angry and he didn't want to say or do anything that would add fuel to the fire.

Liam had always called Harry by his first name and it was quite difficult to change the habit now.

"See, Ha-, I mean Styles", Liam said calmly, though he was getting irritated but tried to keep his calm. "It's important for me to meet him. Please understand"

"I will ne-", before Harry could complete his sentence, Louis came inside.

"What the hell is happening here? ", Louis said, looking at the three.

Liam's expressions immediately changed. He looked relieved after seeing Louis.

"Lou", he whispered as if trying how the nickname sounded from his mouth. Louis's heart thumped when his name rolled off his ex-lover's tongue.

"Why are you here? ", Louis asked, swallowing the lump in his throat.

"Wanna talk to you", Liam asked, taking a tentative step towards Louis. "It's important. Please

Louis thought for a while before saying, "Harry can you give us privacy for some time"

"But Louis-"

"I know you are worried. I just want to hear what he has to say"

"Fine", Harry huffed. "But if he tries anything, call me. Let's go Zayn"

Zayn nodded and hugged Liam once again, saying goodbye to him. Harry rolled his eyes, jealousy sparking inside him once again. Louis resisted the urge to chuckle at Harry's reaction.

Harry went with Zayn to take him to his room, leaving the exes together.

Liam wanted to hug Louis but he couldn't. Not after he cheated on him.

"So, what are you doing here??", Louis asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

"I need to tell you something", Liam started. "Zafar is planning an attack"

"What! But-", Louis said but Liam interrupted in between.

"Listen to me first! It's important and don't interrupt in between. Just hear me out"

Louis nodded.

"Two of the guys whom you took from Zafar are his spies and they have been sending all the information to him. He is planning on attacking here and kill everyone. Zayn is not one of them, I can guarantee you this. He is innocent and his is not aware of this. I got to know about it yesterday and I thought to inform you. Harry wouldn't have believed me because he hates me so, I didn't tell him anything. Please you also don't tell him right now until I know everything about their plan. I wanted to warn you about it, that's all".

"Why are you telling me this? ", Louis asked. "You say as if you care about me. Because I know you don't otherwise you would not have left me for that bitch"

A single tear rolled down Louis's cheek. Liam tried to wipe it off but Louis stepped away from him.

"I didn't cheat on you Lou", Liam told. "It was all Zafar's plan. He drugged me and forced me to sleep with that person then, called you so that you can see me with that guy. I tried to explain it you but you never listened to me"

Tears streamed uncontrollably down Louis's cheeks. He didn't even care to wipe them off and Liam's heart ached to see him like this

"I love you Louis", he blurted out.

Louis's eyes widened at this. "Y-you can't. I can't. I-i need time"

Liam just nodded in response.
