Window to Window ➸ Ziall

Chapter 28

Niall nods, "Yeah, okay."

"We'll be right back" both officers walk towards the door.

"Um, may I see my boyfriend?" Niall asked.

"I'm afraid not kid-"

"Please?" Niall begs with huge eyes.

Officer Rogers sighs and nods before leaving. Seconds later, Zayn bursts through the door, immediately tackling Niall into a hug. "Niall, what the hell is going on?! What did you do?!"

Niall pulls away and takes a seat again, "I'm getting sued" he murmurs.

"What?!" Zayn yells.

"Shhh! Keep your voice down" Niall demands. Zayn purses his lips and nods for Niall to continue.

"Okay, so the night of the party before I saw you, I got in a fight with this guy. He ended up in the hospital, it was pretty serious. I guess as soon as he healed he told the police that I attacked him and now here we are. He wants to sue me and now I have to go to court."

Zayn blinks at him a few times before running a hand through his hair. He whistles, "Wow...I can't believe this is happening, this is insane."

"Yeah, imagine how insane it is when you're the one getting sued" Niall mumbles. "But that's not the worst."

Zayn raises a brow, "What's crazier than you getting sued?"

"I have to stay in a cell until the court date, which is ten days away" Niall says looking down.

"What?! Nooo!" Zayn whines. "I won't see you for ten days?" he reaches over the cold, metal table and grabs Niall's hand.

"I know" Niall sniffles.

Zayn stares at him seeing tears flood in his blue eyes. "Niall, babe are you crying?"

Niall wipes his eyes furiously, "Zayn, this can't be fucking happening. I can't catch a damn break."

"Oh baby" Zayn says sympathetically, bringing Niall's hand to his lips to kiss his knuckles.

"I'm going to jail! This isn't gonna look good on my record! I'll never get into my dream school! My life is over before it even starts! I can't do anything right! I might as well give up! The only thing I've got going for me is a job at McDonald's, if I'm lucky!" Niall yells in defeat, finally cracking.

"Niall, look at me."

Nothing.

"Baby, please look at me."

Nothing, once again. Niall keeps his eyes on the metal interrogation table.

"Niall, fucking look into my eyes!"

Finally, Niall looks up at Zayn reluctantly, a small pout on his pink lips. Zayn gives him a stern look, "Niall, this isn't over. Its never too late to make things right, okay? You're gonna get through this, I'll make sure of it because I love you. I won't let you fall and if you do, I'll be here to catch you. I want you to calm down, baby okay? Breathe."

Niall's brows furrow in confusion until he finally realizes that he's wheezing and his chest was rising and falling rapidly. He clenches his eyes shut and tries to level his breathing while Zayn gives his hand reassuring squeezes. He attemps to think of something that could calm him.

He thinks of Zayn's eyes, smile, and laugh. Even that adorable giggle he does when you tickle him to wake him up. Niall's breathing begins to slow and get normal again. He opens his eyes and stares at his boyfriend, a tiny smile crossing his face. Zayn could only make him feel better. Zayn had been there for him through thick and thin and things got well, so why not now?

Zayn smiles back at him before reaching over to stroke his cheek lovingly. Niall's eyes closes on instinct and he leans into the touch more. Its like all the problems just wash away and its just them in their own little, peaceful world.

"You are such an angel you know that?" Niall opens his ocean eyes.

Zayn giggles, "I guess" he bites his lip, his cheeks tinting pink.

"You are. You're always there for me, saving me" Niall says, playing with Zayn's slim fingers.

"Of course, I love you" Zayn smirks.

Unfortunetly their precious time comes to a close when the door opens and the officers appear again. "Sorry to interupt but Niall you need to come on now. This interrogation room needs to be used in five minutes."

Niall sighs sadly and gets up, walking over to Zayn to pull him into a hug.

"Its okay, everything will be fine" Zayn mumbles into the side of his neck.

"I know, it always is when I'm with you" Niall replies before placing a kiss below Zayn's ear.

They pull apart slowly, holding hands until both boys' hands drop by their sides. Zayn's eyes are glossy and filled tears. Niall smiles one last time before being escorted out the room and around the building to a cell. Zayn stands there for a minute, staring at the door. A sad sigh escapes his lips before he exits to find Louis and Liam to go home.

"Its just so sad that he's getting sued" Trisha says while taking a bite of her burger.

"Shit, Niall doesn't deserve this. Maybe staying in a cell for a few days but not being sued and having to deal with a trial" Yaser replies.

Zayn doesn't say anything, just stares at his food. All he could think about was Niall and him being in some nasty jail cell.

"Dad..." Zayn calls while breaking his intense gaze with his food to look at his father.

"Yeah, kiddo?" Yaser says looking at him over his glasses.

"You still have that friend who knows that guy that helped me get a scholarship at Winston?"

Yaser nods, "Yes, I do. Why?"

"I need him."
