It Never Ends

*ilianna’s POV*

“I love you so, so much, my ilianna.” Louis sang to me through the phone.

“I love you too, Louis- Bear. I’ll see you tomorrow.” I spoke to him, grinning way too hard.

We told each other goodbye over and over again until I finally hung up. It was always so hard to let him go.

Louis made me laugh like no other and completely understands me to the fullest.

At least I got to be with him on Saturday after the whole Monse incident. It’s going to be awkward seeing her again.

I wasn’t sure if anyone has spoken to Monse regarding the situation. I didn’t even know if Ariana knew because I didn’t tell her.

But Zayn has a tendency to open his mouth a lot. He literally tells everyone everything. And he doesn’t leave anything out.

Zayn and I were home at home, finishing up our homework that we always did at the last minute.

We haven’t spoken since Niall’s party because I was still angry at him for telling people my personal information.

I knew that he wanted to apologize to me, which he did. I was able to forgive him, but he kept his distance from me.

“Lily?” Zayn knocked on my door.

Zayn stood in my doorway with a bowl of popcorn. “I was just wondering if you were done with your homework.”

I gently nodded at him and smiled. “I just finished. Why, what’s up?”

“You want to watch a movie with me? Just like old times?” he asked, shaking the popcorn bowl.

I giggled and jumped up from my bed and stretched out my clothes, following him downstairs.

Zayn had already propped up the pillows on the sofa and laid out blankets for us to share.

“You planned this.” I accused him.

“No, I just knew that you were going to say yes.” He corrected me.

I sat on the sofa and snuggled next to me, placing the bowl in between us.

We decided on watching “We’re The Millers” and waited for the movie to begin. During the time, Zayn took the time to speak up about everything.

Probably everything he’s been holding in.

“You’re different,” He said quietly. “You’re so happy all the time.”

“Is that a bad thing?” I asked confused.

Zayn smiled a bit and shook his head.

“It’s not a bad thing. It’s great. It just, I don’t know. I guess I’m kind of jealous that I couldn’t be the one to make you this happy.” He finally admitted.

He laughed a bit at his own confession.

“Who would have known that it was Louis all along?” he guessed.

“What do you mean?” I asked, unsure of what Zayn was trying to say.

It actually brought a few tears to my eyes. Louis meant so much to me, and Zayn meant so much more.

“I don’t know. It’s like, he’s so protective over you. Someone says one thing about you, and he’s in the conversation, defending you, sticking up for you, even when we’re only saying good things about you or just mentioning your name. I’ve never seen him like that before.”

“Oh.” I said silently. It was all I managed to say.

“It’s just so crazy though.” Zayn said, pausing the movie and rubbing his face.

“What’s so crazy about it? I thought you would’ve known we would end up together.” I assumed.

Zayn laughed again before looking at me with a serious look. I couldn’t tell if he was about to yell at me, or be completely honest.

“Louis’s so much nicer and mature now that he’s looking after you. It’s like he has a purpose or something.” He described Louis.

“And then you’re so happy, and you’re changing so much.” He continued on. “You’re finding your old self again. The ilianna that isn’t afraid to stand up for herself and confront others when they’re wrong.”

I was surprised that all of this came out of him. I didn’t think he would call me out regarding mine and Louis’s relationships.

We did love each other. But it was hard to show affection in front of Zayn. I knew it was still hard for him.

“Wow, I never thought about that. I guess…yeah,” I said. “Louis’s pretty great.”

Zayn smiled and grabbed my hand. He laced our fingers together and reached over to kiss my temple.

“I don’t think I tell you enough, but you’re a remarkable human being. I’m so glad you’re my sister.” he said.

“You’re going to make me cry Zayn, and we haven’t even started the movie.” I whined, taking the remote to play the movie.

Zayn laughed at my reference and pulled me closer to him.

“Thank you for always being here. You make me just as happy.” I confessed. “I love you.”

“I love you too my beautiful little sister.” He said as the opening scene began.
