Zayn's breath hitched as the doorbell rang. Harry could see his creased brows and fidgeting hands. He put a comforting hand on Zayn's shoulder as if to tell him that he's there for him.

Zayn closed his eyes, taking a long deep breath and went to open the door.

Niall had gone to his and his girlfriend's shared apartment but he said that he would come back tomorrow.

'I don't even want to see her after what she and her mother did to you Zayn. You didn't deserve it', Niall had said before he left for his apartment.

Harry's jaw clenched as the door opened and Gigi appeared. She hugged Zayn but he didn't hug her back. For a split moment, Harry saw the hurt on her face but she masked it with a fake smile.

The most fake he has ever seen.

That fake smile too faded once she saw Harry behind Zayn. Her expression changed to one of hatred and despise. She threw a nasty glare at Harry and he just rolled his eyes.

Harry remembered meeting Gigi at a function earlier where he shook hands with her and the other boys hugged her.

That time, Harry didn't hug her because she was dating Zayn. He wouldn't admit but he was jealous and wanted to be in her place.

But now the tables have turned. Harry has realised his feelings for Zayn and Gigi is out of the picture now.

"Hello Styles", she said in a overly fake voice.

Harry just nodded.

"Uhm... Would you like to have some tea?? ", Zayn asked politely.

"No, I would like to leave soon as he is present here to give you company", she commented and Harry narrowed his eyes.

'As if I want you to stay here anymore bitch', Harry thought to himself.

Zayn cleared his throat to get rid of the awkward tension and said, "You can take Khai and I will come to your place to take her a week later".

"Yes, sure but before that I would like to speak to you Zayn privately", she said, emphasising on the word 'privately'.

"Can we not do this now? ", Zayn asked frustatingly.

"Please Z", she said in a low voice, sounding almost sad but both the boys could make out how desperate she was.

Zayn just gave in to her request. "You're gonna be okay, right??", Harry asked.

Zayn nodded with a smile and they both went inside Khai's room to talk.

"What do you wan-", Zayn started but before he could complete his sentence, Gigi slammed her lips on his.

Not even a second later of their lips touching, Zayn backed away and rubbed his lips from the back of his hand.

"What the fuck is this?! Are you crazy?! Do you even know what are you doing?!", he shouted, his nose flaring with anger.

"Come on Zee. Our break up was a mistake. I know you want me back just as much as I want you", she said, getting close to him, running her hands up and down his chest.

Zayn took a hold of her wrist to stop her and stepped away from her.

"No! I don't want it back", he declared.

"Why Zee?? We both were so happy together"

"No, we weren't", Zayn said, rubbing his temple, his other hand on his hip. "It was a PR stunt until you got pregnant. After that I tried to have a real relationship with you but I couldn't because I don't have feelings for you. Never had and never will".

"Oh yeah, because you still love that pathetic bitch who is standing outside", Gigi scoffed.

"Don't talk about him like that and you are correct, I do love him", he said proudly.

"Really?! After all this time?! After he abandoned you when you needed him the most?! ", she asked, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Always", Zayn answered.

[A/N:- Again sorry to put it out there but my inner potterhead wanted to put this scene. I love how Snape declares his love for Lily in this scene. So, I thought to put this scene for Zarry ;) ]

"Faggot", she spat at him and Zayn flinched.

Gigi turned around angrily and lifted Khai in her arms and took her clothes bag too. She stormed out of the house but glared at Harry first.

Zayn sunk down on his knees, buried his face in his hands. Just a second later, Harry came in and wrapped his arms around the older lad.

"Zee! Zee! Look at me", Harry said softly. Zayn slowly looked up, tears welled in his eyes, threatening to fall.

"Sh-she called me a faggot", Zayn whispered. "Again"

"Again?? When did she call you that before?? ", Harry asked.

Zayn sighed and started to tell all about his and Gigi's relationship.

Flashback

18 September, 2015

It was the first time Gigi and Zayn were meeting. Their managements had set up a date for them in a private place.

It had been half an hour since then and Gigi had been rambling constantly all about her life, not even giving a chance to Zayn to say something. He was hell bored.

"So, that were my past relationships. What about you, Zayn?? ", she asked.

"Um... Listen Gigi, since you and me will have to go through this, I want to make it very clear that I love someone else".

Her face fell and the smile was long gone. When she didn't say anything, Zayn continued, "I have dated so many girls in the past but all for publicity. I haven't loved anyone from them, not even Perrie".

"What?! So the engagement was fake?", she gasped.

Zayn nodded in agreement. "I love Harry".

Gigi's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets at the mention of Harry's name.

"I want to make this clear that I still love him and please don't expect me to do something with you apart from what our managements ask us".

Gigi nodded reluctantly.

"We just followed whatever management said like puppets but one day I got drunk and we had sex and the next day itself I regretted it. But she was sober and she could have stopped me but she didn't. I got fed up with all the shit and broke up with her. But later we found out that she was pregnant with my child and we got back together just for the sake of Khai", Zayn sighed and ran a hand through his hairs.

"Gigi", Zayn called out and she hummed in response. "I want to reunite with my band members".

She tensed visibly. "Wh-why?? "

"I miss them and I want our friendship back", Zayn answered.

"You can't. They hate you Zayn. They don't want you", she told. "I guess it's better if you stay as you are. Seperated"

"That day I couldn't understand why she did this but now I know. She didn't want me to meet you again because she feared that I might leave her for you", Zayn told truthfully. Harry was shocked but tried to keep his cool.

"What happened then? ", Harry asked as he rubbed Zayn's arm.

"She told her mother about it and she was worried that I might leave her daughter", Zayn scoffed. "She came and started living with us. I let her stay with us for a month and half but then it got out of hands because she started interfering in my life".

"Are you crazy Zayn?? ", Gigi shouted. "You still want to go back to your bandmates. It's stupid. They don't care about you so, why do you?? "

"I have told you thousand times. They are like my brothers", he shouted back.

"So, is Harry your brother too?? ", Yolanda questioned.

Zayn's jaw clenched at the mention of Harry.

"Please don't. I don't want to fight over this. I am gonna be with them again and you can't stop me", he declared.

"Faggot", Gigi shouted, stabbing at his chest with her pointer finger.

"What did you just call me?. ", Zayn asked with furrowed brows.

"Faggot", Yolanda answered as she took big steps towards Zayn. He backed away from her until he was against a wall. Yolanda stood in front of him and pushed him so, that he was pinned against the wall. "That's what you are! Faggot. We told you so many times to stay away from Harry but look at your shameless gay self, going back to him again. What a queer!! ".

Zayn was breathing heavily. His anxiety coming back. He felt like he was going to black out. Yolanda again pushed him and now he couldn't take it anymore.

He pushed her back.

"That's why she put violence charges on me", Zayn told with a sigh.

Harry wrapped his arms around Zayn tightly, engulfing him in his arms and kissed his forehead.
