A hand touches my arm and I feel a familiar warmth spread through my body. "You okay?" Liam asks, his forehead creased with worry lines. I nod, unknowingly moving away from his touch and instantly regretting it when hurt flashes through his eyes.
"Yeah." I mumble, looking away from his chocolate orbs, "'m fine." He nods hesitantly, I know he wants to say something to me. But he doesn't.
"Well, I'll be off." he said, "Gotta show Ems around the campus." And just like that, without any further ado, he was off while his arm wrapped around her shoulders and they laughed.
"What is it?" Harry asks me as I watch their retreating figures. I shrugged, looking down at my shoes, "He-um, we were supposed.....He asked me out for lunch today." I mumble, feeling more beat up about this than I should.
After all, it wasn't a date. It wasn't anything serious. I didn't want to go and face his handsome self anyways.
"Zayn." Harry sighs, putting his hand on my shoulder, "You know it's not-"
"Yeah." I smile tightly at him and shrug his hand off, "I know it's nothing, we're nothing. I'll see you later, Haz." With that, I walk away, clenching my fists to stop them from trembling.

I sigh as I make my way down the stairs of mine and Harry's shared flat. I wanted to stay cooped up in my room tonight, but the curly giant had other plans.
I had full plans of avoiding Liam though, which wasn't going to be very difficult. He had been very busy these past two days anyways as he spent all of his time with Emily and barely saw either Harry or me so I doubted that he'll come today.
