"He broke up with you"

"No. We weren't dating"

"So... He just, ended the friendship with you?"

"No."

Niall and Louis both blinked then leaned back "So uh... What exactly happened?"

Zayn blinked then shrugged "I don't know"

~~~~~

"Huh... Who knew you'd be the bigger idiot? I DID!"

Zayn looked at his dad "You're almost 40, act like it"

His dad rolled his eyes and Zayn frowned "What are you dressed up for?"

His father shrugged "I was called by the courthouse last night, they told me I had to be there today"

Zayn ran his fingers through his hair "Do you know what for?"

His father tied his shoes "Yes"

"Can you tell me?"

Zayn watched his father shrug before he walked out of the room, Zayn furrowed his brows

"YOU'RE WEIRD"

"FUCK RIGHT OFF-oh, hi"

Zayn blinked then stood up, he walked out and his eyes widened seeing his mother

She looked at Zayn then at his father "Hi"

Zayn's father turned to him "Mind getting my entrence papers from upstairs"

Zayn slowly nodded then walked upstairs towards his dad's office

"You have something you have to do?" She whispered

Zayn's father chuckled and shook his head "Yes, and I'd like it if you were there" He said kissing her forehead and she smiled

~~~~~

Liam looked at his feet and his mother held his hand "It'll be fine, sweetie. You'll get it done"

Liam nodded "I hope so"

Louis nudged his leg "Why didn't you tell Zayn?"

Liam shrugged "Haven't seen or heard from him in a couple of days."

Niall chuckled "Of course you didn't"

"Payne"

Liam looked ahead "Yes?"

"Room 25"

Liam nodded and stood up, everyone followed him to the room where he walked in

His lawyer (who he didn't need but his parents insisted on) sat down beside him and everyone else behind him

Luca sat on the other side, a layer of protective glass between them and the judges that will be sitting across from them, then to the left will be the members of the council

Liam looked at his hands when doors opener and people walked in

He wishes he had a hammer to break the rest of Luca's face.

A medic came towards Liam with an injection, Liam moved his head to the side and took a deep breath as he was injected

When the needle was pulled out, the medic put a bandaid over the place then turned around and walked away

Liam looked at Luca who seemed to be arguing with the medic, but none the less got the same treatment

The council door opened and a few figures walked in, but nobody could see them

They were all in the dark and the security stood by all doors with their hands behind their backs

The security came towards Liam's side and opened the door, Liam and his lawyer walked towards the middle of the circular room

Liam's lawyer talked to the judge, and Liam wouldn't be allowed until he was formally addressed

"Liam" Liam looked at the judge and nodded "What's the reason you're here?"

Though Liam's lawyer already spoke, the serum that was in Liam's veins would only ever let him say the truth

"I'd like to get Luca's rights over my records terminated, he was assigned to them when I was 15 and when we were in a relationship." The judge nodded "I felt like I had to assign someone and I felt like it was the only correct choice"

The judge looked at the papers infront of him then at Liam "When did your relationship with Mr. Vitalle end?"

"6 years ago"

"Yet... you were able to get surgeries done in the past 6 years, 3 to be exact"

Liam nodded "The only reason I could do them is because my doctor told the other doctors they were necessary"

The judge nodded "Why now? Why didn't you do it before?"

Liam stayed quiet then shrugged "I don't... Know" Liam said, rubbing his neck "It's my last link to him..." he took a deep breath

"I hate him, I want it cut"

~~~~~

Liam was questioned, by the council; His neck burned at every question but he answered

Some questions were personal, about his amputations, about his heart surgery, about his reasoning for leaving Luca

Luca's lawyer was allowed to speak up a few times but he was silent most of the time

Liam and his lawyer then went back to his cubicle and Liam covered his face

His mother got up from her seat and sat down beside him, she wrapped him up in a tight hug

"I never thought it would be this bad..."

The door to their cubicle opened and everyone turned towards it

Zayn's mother stood there and she quickly walked in and hugged Liam tightly

"I'm sorry dear..."

Liam took a deep breath "How are you here?"

She smiled "Sweetie... who do you think is up there?"

Liam blinked then looked ahead, then looked at her "Zayn?" He whispered

She slowly shook her head "No dear..." She looked down "I honestly don't know where my son is"

~~~~~

Luca was relaxed, too relaxed, then it came time for him to be questioned

He sat in the chair in the middle of the room, as papers were being read by the judge

He then looked up, and blinked "Is it true that you are the reason that Mr. Liam Payne lost contact with his parents?"

Luca took a deep breath and nodded "Yes"

"Other than that, have you ever intentionally hurt Mr. Payne?" Luca got quiet, before he forced a nod "How many times?"

Luca opened and closed his mouth then cringed, he rubbed his shoulder against his neck

"Rephrase the question"

The judge frowned and leaned ahead "How many times have you intentionally hurt Mr. Liam Payne?"

"5" He forced out

"When were the instances that you did?"

Luca gritted his teeth and rubbed his neck, he started with saying how he ruined Liam's relationship with his parents, forced the heart surgery even though he knew Liam wouldn't want it, cheating and when he choked Liam at the gala 6 years ago

"Those are 4, Mr. Vitalle. What are you leaving out?"

Luca cursed under his breath and let out a breath "I gave him the extra doses before his test"
