Dusk Till Dawn - Ziam

Chapter Two

Zayn always parked in the same spot when he went to Eleanor's studio, always right next to Eleanor's car far from the entrance. As he made his way towards the studio, he saw Harry and Louis approaching as well from the other side of the parking lot.

"Hey Zayn!" Harry said as Zayn opened the door for them, Louis smiling at him as they walked in.

"Hey" He replied softly following them inside.

"Well, look who finally decided to show up!" Eleanor said from behind the front desk, smiling at the three.

"I've been busy" Zayn said rolling his eyes making his way behind the desk.

"Oh yeah? Busy doing what exactly? Because you keep saying you're gonna come but you just never show up."

Zayn sighed and sat down on the chair and looked up at her. The truth was that Zayn always told Liam he was going to Eleanor's but he never actually went to the studio, or to be with Eleanor for that matter.

Eleanor was nice enough to keep up with his lies, vouching for him whenever someone like Liam or his parents asked about him, and how she thought he was doing. She'd always lie and say she thought she was doing okay. She truly felt bad about lying but Zayn was her best friend and she would basically help him out in anything because she knew he'd do the same for her.

"So you haven't been coming here or?" Louis asked as he looked over at Zayn in confusion.

"No he has, he just promised to be here early today but you know Zayn, he's never early to anything" Eleanor replied giving Zayn a gentle squeeze on the shoulder.

Louis seemed to have bought it since he only nodded and didn't ask further questions. Zayn sighed in relief before standing up once again, and following Eleanor, Harry and Louis to one of the five studios the building had.

"Okay so, this is spacious enough, don't you think?" She looked over at Louis and Harry, Louis shrugging his shoulders and Harry looking around inspecting the room.

"Yeah, I guess we can work with this." Harry replied after a few seconds, turning over to look at Zayn. "You don't have to do this if you don't feel comfortable you know that, right?"

Zayn had promised Harry and Louis to choreograph their surprise dance for their wedding, but that had been three months ago when Zayn was feeling great and believed he could help them out. Except, now he didn't feel so great, but he also didn't want to go back on his promise to his best friends.

"No it's okay, I can do it" He nodded, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Liar." Harry made his way towards him wrapping his arms around Zayn, hugging him tightly. "Zayn, I honestly understand if you can't. Eleanor can help"

Eleanor nodded, Zayn sighing and hugging Harry back. "Fine. But if you need me please let me know"

"We will" Eleanor replied as the two pulled away. "Harry, go and pick the song you guys want to dance to while I show Zayn what he can help me with in the front desk" Eleanor grabbed Zayn's hand and they walked out of the studio, making their way towards the lobby.

"So what did you find out?" Eleanor asked once they were far enough for Harry and Louis not to hear them. Zayn sat down behind the desk and Eleanor stayed on the other side, leaning against the counter.

"I was finally able to get a hold of someone who could give me the information I was looking for." Zayn started, Eleanor nodding for him to go on.

"Well apparently Miss Clara doesn't work there anymore so I really couldn't speak with her for information, which I knew she would have given me but I also find it very weird that she's no longer there since she saw Ruby like she was her daughter. Anyway, I was able to talk to Sarah, you remember her? The nice lady at the reception?"
