30/08/2017

Zayn was hugging his mother tightly

"I'll miss you..."

"Me too... Take care ok? Its a 7 hour flight, but I expect a call as soon as you land. I'll keep track of your flight online"

Zayn smiled and nodded "Of course"

"Never stay out too late on your own! Even with friends- No! You have daytime classes and not nighttime for a reason"

"I know..."

"Take care... Ok? I expect a visit in January- as soon as you're done with your semester exams"

"Booking the first flight back"

"You better..."

"Aisha will be 10 months by then! She'll keep the house busy for ya"

"She is more energetic than you were..."

"Everything will be fine"

"Ok... Where's liam?"

Zayn took a deep breath "I can't say goodbye to Liam..."

"Why?"

"Because... It'll hurt too much"

"Then don't say goodbye... Say I'll see you soon"

~~~~~

Liam opened the door and gasped when keys flew into his hand

"Zayn-"

"You're driving me... Let's go. Baba and mama are already crying I can't take it"

Liam smiled and nodded, he pulled a flannel on and walked out of the house and into Zayns car

He got into the drivers seat and Zayn got into the passenger seat, they both buckled up and Liam started to drive

He smiled when Zayn put his hand on his thigh

"I start school at the end of this month"

Zayn smiled "Senior babes... You'll be a senior"

Liam shook his head "And you're a college man! How cool is that?!"

"Cool enough to excite you. Isn't it"

"Oh it definitely is! My best friend is a college man! Imagine how cool that'll sound"

"Who will you tell pup?"

"Pleeeease... I'LL WEAR IT! On a shirt"

Zayn chuckled "You already do liam"

~~~~~

Liam frowned, he was holding onto Zayns hands tightly

"I'll miss you..."

"Me too babes"

Liam smiled and weakly nodded, Zayn kissed his forehead and then looked into his eyes

"Facetime won't do you justice at all" Liam whispered his voice cracking between the words

Zayn smiled and hugged liam tightly, liam hugged back just as tight

"I regret it... Don't go Zaynie please..."

Zayn smiled weakly and kissed Liam's cheek "I regret accepting it now too, but I'll talk to you, every single day"

Liam pulled his pinkie out and zayn smiled linking them

They both kissed their thumbs before they kissed each other

"I love you Zee..."

"I love you too Liam, more than you know..." Liam nodded and pulled away, Zayn took a few step backs and Liams eyes widened "WAIT!"

Zayn nodded and stopped, Liam took the necklace he was wearing off from around his neck and put it around Zayn's

He pulled a ring out from his back pocket and put it around Zayns finger

"These belong to you..."

Zayn smiled "I'll see you soon"

Liam smiled weakly letting zayns hand go "I'll see you soon Zain"

Zayn smiled, Liam can see the tears welling up in Zayns eyes "You too, Leeyum" Zayn said before he turned around and walked away
