Finding the way home

- Liam, what is wrong with you? You haven't been yourself this last week, Cheryl said

- I'm sorry, I've just had some things on my mind, Liam said

- You can tell me anything, you know that, Cheryl said and sat next to Liam on the sofa

- I know, Liam said and kissed her forehead before he got up and walked to his office, where Cheryl wasn't allowed in.

He went over to the storage unit where he kept all of his old photos, the ones he didn't want Cheryl to see. He picked up a box and took it with him to the desk. He opened the box but hesitated. Why did all the feelings start to resurface now? What had triggered these feelings to return? Then he remembered.

Liam logged on to Twitter as he always does. Then something caught his eye, he had received a direct message. He rarely receive those so he wondered whom it would be from. Liam froze when he saw it was from Gigi. Liam hated when Zayn and Gigi started going out, but over time he started to accept it, but only on the surface. Deep down he wanted to use her as a punching bag. However, he couldn't tell that to anyone.

Liam braced himself as he opened the message. "Hi Liam, I know we've never met or haven't spoken to each other, but I really need to meet you and talk to you. It's really important. I'm staying in London for the next week. I hope you'll reply and will want to meet me. Gigi xxx".

After Liam finished reading the message his left fist started to clench tightly. The thoughts started to race through his mind for her reasons to write to him and what could be so important. He then remembered reading online that Zayn had suffered a bad anxiety attack and had to cancel his first solo performance in the UK. Liam remembered how he used to calm Zayn down before they got on stage when he was still in the band. Liam started replying to Gigi's message: "Hello. I can't seem to figure out why you would write to me, what could be so important? Can you elaborate on what is so important? Liam". Only two minutes had passed when Gigi wrote back: "Hi again, I understand your confusion, and the only thing I can say is Zayn. I'm staying at the Savoy, and you can just write to me here, if and when you want to meet. Gigi xxx". A big knot started to gnaw in Liam's stomach. He had a feeling that it was about Zayn. Now that he knew it was about Zayn he felt like he had to meet up with Gigi to find out what she wanted. He looked through his calendar on his phone to see when he had the opportunity to go to London. Sunday was the only day he thought Cheryl wouldn't object to him going on. He then wondered if he should stay at a hotel over the night, or if he should contact Niall and ask him if he could stay the night there. He decided to contact Niall, who said he was always welcome to stay over. Niall would be home that day just relaxing anyway. Liam opened Twitter, went and wrote Gigi back: "Hi. I can be in London on Sunday at 2.30 pm. Where can we meet and talk? Liam". "Sunday it is. You can just come up to my suite and we can talk there. Looking forward to seeing you. Gigi xxx".

Liam looked down in the box and took a handful of pictures up. He flipped through them as he started to tear up. They were all from the time when he and Zayn had been the happiest. When everyone was focusing on Louis and Harry, and didn't realize that Zayn and himself were as in love as they were. Liam looked at a picture of Zayn and him looking into each other's eyes. You could really see the love between them. Only a fool or someone in denial wouldn't be able to see that. Liam looked at his phone. It was 11 am. He had to leave in half an hour and then he would have half an hour spare time. He dried his eyes, went to the toilet to wash his face so it didn't look like he had been crying. He went into the bedroom and grabbed a bag and put in some clean clothes he could wear the next day. He grabbed the bag and went into the living room where Cheryl and Watson was watching TV.

- I'm leaving now, Liam said and gave Cheryl a kiss

- Where is it you're going again? Cheryl asked
