Hanging By A Moment

Zayn's POV:
The next day, I went over to the bachelor pad to meet up with the boys prior to our interview at Capital FM. 'Hey lads' I greeted them. 'Hey' Liam, Louis and Niall replied. 'Where's the curly one?' I asked. 'Kitchen' they all pointed.

As I entered the kitchen, the humming noise crescendo. 'Wtf? Why is Harry humming?' I thought to myself. I watched him as he cut his toast in half with a smile stretched across his face. You'd think he was mentally retarded, no offence, I loved him like a brother.

'Harry?' I muttered. 'HEY ZAYN!' he replied enthusiastically. 'Are you alright?' I crinkled my eyebrow as I approached him.

'Yeah man' he replied. 'Just, really happy ' he smiled as he took a bite of his toast.

Beep! He took his phone out of his pocket.

'Sorry, we're busy today' he read the text out loud. 'Who is it?' I asked. 'Sammie, I asked if I can come over today' he replied. 'Oh she got a new phone already?' I asked knowing Harry threw it out of the car. 'Nah' he laughed probably remembering what he did. 'I texted her on Anna's phone' he replied

'How about tomorrow' he tapped a replied back.

Beep! His phone rang immediately.

'Will let you know...' he read out the reply.

Samantha's POV:
'Everything's ready' Anna told me as she entered my room. 'Alright, I'll be down there soon' I replied as I took my handbag. Something caught my attention as my eyes passed the bed side table. I stared at the white envelope that Harry gave me yesterday. Slowly, I took it and opened it up.

...

I stood astonished by what the enveloped contained.

It was a photo from the lunch at Cheshire. Our first ever captured photo as a family. Me, Jacob, Taleiah ...and Harry. A tear slipped out of my right eye and trickled down my cheek. I tilted my head back and took a deep breath. I placed the photo back in the envelope and slid it in my bag. I wiped my wet cheek and proceeded downstairs.

As I descended down the stairs, a visitor was waiting at the bottom of the stair case. 'Hey, what are you doing here?' I asked Zayn when I'd reached his side.

'What's going on?' he pointed at the luggages being brought to the car.

'We're leaving' I replied

'If your going back to LA just let Harry know because his really keen to spend more time with you and the twins' he informed me.

'Where not going to LA...' I replied nervously.

'Where are you going then?' he asked.

'I can't tell you' I kept my head down.

'WHAT?' he raised his voice which made me looked back up at him.

'Is this why you've been trying to avoid Harry? Your running away again aren't you?' he asked.

'Jules' he reached out for my hands.

'Zayn, I have to do this' I told him.

'No you don't. This is wrong' he expressed.

'His getting too close to the twins...' I replied.

'And what's wrong with that? Don't you wanna be a family together?' he asked.

'It scares me' a tear fell out of my eye.

'It's not that I don't want to stay' I paused as more tears emerged. 'But every time he comes too close It scares me' my voice cracked.

'Running away, isn't going to fix anything' he wiped the tears off my face.

'When you left London, Harry was distraught' he said. 'You're my best friend and his like a brother to me but I have to admit, I was there for you more than I was for him' he confessed. 'You wanna know why? Because I thought that you'd need me more than he did' he said

'But if you leave again, I won't be there for you' he said softly.

'Because what your doing is wrong. And this time I'm standing by Harry' he told me. 'Because it'll be him that needs the support this time' he paused. 'The girl he's STILL in love with and his two children will disappear again' he expressed.

I didn't know what to reply back so I just walked off.

'You can't keep doing this to yourself, Not to us, not to Harry and most of all not to your children' he called out. I turned back around to face him.

'Stay here....in London. This is your home' he pleaded.
