The world moves on, another day another drama, drama
But not for me, not for me, all I think about is karma
~~~~~
Zayn's fists were bloody. Bloody with Brian's blood
He couldn't hear anything, he couldn't hear the banging on the door behind him
He couldn't hear Brian's screams
He couldn't hear anything but Liam's screams of pain.
They didn't want him to watch the videos, but he did.
He watched. Every. Single. One.
He doesn't know how he managed to come downstairs and lock the door, he doesn't know anything
But wanting Brian to feel as much pain as possible
He then pulled away and stepped back, Brian coughed and spat out blood
Zayn blinked "Were you responsible for what happened to Tomlinson?"
Brian met Zayn's eyes, one of his eyes seemed like it will never open again and the other was bruised
"Answer me Brian, because we don't need your face to get shit out of you"
Brian let out a grunt then nodded, Zayn was about to walk out when Brian spoke up
"Ya know, the boy's a lot like you." Zayn froze keeping his back to Brian "Which is funny, since you didn't even raise him and he doesn't know about your existence"
Zayn blinked and kept on walking until he left the room, ignoring everyone as they looked at him, but he ignored them all and walked away

Louis, Harry, Niall Yaser and Trisha were all sitting together
"What's the plan Louis?" Yaser said looking at Louis
Louis stayed quiet then shrugged "I honestly don't know.... I wish I did but I don't" He said then dropped his head back with a sigh "Brian being this close of a proximity to him was a bad idea-"
"It's also what he needs" Harry said looking at Louis "If Brian gets too far, he can escape-easily!!"
Louis frowned and turned to Harry "So you think having a human punching bag this close to him is a good idea?"
"Better than him thinking that Brian could escape at any given moment"
Niall sighed "You both are arguing like your child is in danger" Niall turned to Yaser "We have to keep Brian here. That way you can keep an eye on him as well"
Yaser looked at Trisha "What do you think?"
She sighed before she stood up "I don't know." She said before she walked away
Yaser and Niall quickly got up and ran after her
Louis and Harry looked at each other "Harry. We can't keep Brian here"
"Louis. We have to"
Louis shook his head and stood up "We can't, and we won't. It's more risky that way"
"I get that you're his right hand man but that doesn't mean you make all the decisions"
"I know Harry, I know" Louis said then they both stood up
"Yaser should make the decision"
"Yaser wants Zayn to trust him so he'll do whatever Zayn wants"
"Yaser stopped Zayn from murdering Brian. He'll do what he thinks is right"
"You think so??"
"I know so Lou.... Please just trust me"
Louis stayed quiet then shook his head "We'll vote. A group vote. He stays or he goes"
"And let's do it on paper, not voiced."
Louis smiled and nodded "I'll ask Zayn about it"
~~~~~
"Can you ask him?" Louis said giving Trisha a worried smile
She frowned "It's your plan? Why should I?"
Louis rubbed the back of his neck and shrugged, she sighed and nodded "Give me a few days then I'll ask him"
Louis nodded, he was about to walk away when he stopped "Trisha"
"Yes love?"
"Has Tony always been.... Like this?"
Her shoulders fell and she put a bookmark in her book before she placed it down on the table
She patted down beside her and Louis said down
"Explain"
"Has Tony.... Always been a homicidal maniac who is power hungry that he's quite literally ruining his brother's life?"
She smiled weakly and shook her head "No, he wasn't always like this." Her smile fell "In fact.... He's who always kept Niall safe, from everything and everyone." She looked down at her hands "When we first brought Niall home, He-Niall I mean, was too scared to touch anything because he was worried he'll break it." She smiled "Tony noticed that, and dropped his glass from our dining room table, little Niall was so worried about Tony but Tony just said-"
Tony frantically shook his head "No. Its ok, mama and baba won't get angry if we break something by mistake- they'll just be worried we'll get hurt"
Louis smiled "He seemed like a good brother"
She slowly nodded "He was an even better son-" her smile fell "But something happened to him, when he was 20" She cleared her throat "And Brian was who he went to for comfort because he didn't believe his father and I would be able to help him"
Louis furrowed his brows "You think.... Tony was manipulated by Brian?"
She smiled "I hope I'm not just telling myself that" She laughed quietly under her breath and it made Louis smile again
"But if you don't believe me, ask Niall"

"There wasn't a lawn mower he didn't protect me from" Niall said not stopping his typing
Louis frowned "That's a weird thing to say"
"It was an us thing to say" Niall said, stopping for a second before he continued
"I used to be scared of lawn mowers, I don't know why, maybe the loud noise but whenever the Gardner came every morning, he'd cover my ears if I had just woken up then take me to the closest window to show me that it's not after me"
Louis slowly nodded
Niall sighed "He wasn't always bad.... Yet I suppose it's a Malik thing"
Louis frowned "A.... Malik thing?"
"A brother trying to kill a brother, brother hurting a brother"
Louis noticed something it Niall's eyes then nudged him "Hey, at least you weren't hurt in the process"
Niall smiled "Guess so."
~~~~~
Harry and Louis were seated together, while Louis was looking ahead, Harry was looking at Louis
How is he.... Mine
Harry smiled and kissed Louis' cheek, Louis smiled and turned to Harry
"What are you thinking about, love?"
Louis stayed quiet then rested his forehead on Harry's shoulder "I don't think we'll ever leave this world behind" He mumbled
Harry furrowed his brow "What do you mean?"
Louis shrugged and sighed then turned back ahead "It's- the rush Hazza." He mumbled "It's the rush, the run and-" He looked down
"It's the power"
