Psycho (z.m)

Chapter 1

Nobody's POV

Dinner time was always one of the worst, Liam would sometimes complain about how Louis should be more responsible, Louis would throw his food, Harry would make bad jokes, Niall would make a mess, Maddie would play with Niall or attempt to make Harry feel better about his terrible jokes, and Zayn would just stay quiet... he always was...

It wasn't always like this, or everything wasn't, Zayn was always a quiet baby and he had always loved some of the most disturbing things, but he was never a threat to his family... after he had turned four he started to change.

He was right now sat on one of the bar stools near the kitchen island while everyone else was sat at the table, he didn't like sitting with everyone else. He swirled his spaghetti around with his fork but didn't take a bite, he was busy thinking about things that were probably far to horrifying for a 7 year olds mind to be occupied by.

"And this morning Louis even stole a cookie from the cookie jar!" Liam exaggerated to which Niall, Harry and Madison gasped.

"No I didn't! I was just making sure it wasn't poisoned or something!" Louis shot back defensively. Zayn rolled his eyes at the humans he had been forced to call his family's annoying behaviour, these kind of things happened almost every night and it wouldn't be much longer until he snapped.

"Ya sure, stop lying, lying can get you in trouble you know." Liam stated, now Louis was the one rolling his eyes.

"Oh please, your just jealous you weren't the one to risk your life trying to save this household and be the hero. You know Liam, you should stop being such a goodie goodie, maybe then you would have more friends!"

"That's enough!" Their father scolded "Liam, you are older than Louis and I expect you to know better than to continue your fighting and Louis, behave yourself when we are at the table and stop making such rude comments"

"Fine" they both huffed in unison. Zayn was almost at his breaking point, one more misfit between those two and he would snap.

Zayn suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder, he turned his head to see his mother staring at him "Zayn, you haven't even touched your food yet." She said softly

He just shrugged.

"I'm not hungry" he replied

"At least take one bite" she insisted.He huffed before taking a few small bites of his dinner. His mother smiled "Thank you."

He nodded

"Anyways, everyone get to bed now, you guys have school tomorrow" Rose said

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Zayn laid there, in his bed, in complete darkness. All of his siblings had always slept with a night light, not him though

He liked the darkness

He could do anything, and nobody would see him, and if there really was such thing as the monsters in your closet that stare at you while you sleep, at least there was something in this world that would actually waste their time staring at him.

A sudden noise from downstairs caused Zayn to shift his gaze from the wall, to the door.
He laid there for a few seconds, waiting to see if it was just his mind playing tricks on him, but then he heard it again.

He slowly got out of his warm bed, and walked towards the door, he pulled the door open slowly after grabbing his baseball bat.

Slowly, Zayn creeped down the stairs, and towards the kitchen where the noise was coming from Only to see his older brother Louis with his hand inside the cookie jar as he chewed on an already half eaten cookie.

Zayn stopped in his tracks and Louis stared at him. He suddenly extended his hand towards Zayn

"Want a cookie" he mumbled, crumbs falling out of his mouth.

Zayn shook his head "I hope you choke on a chocolate chip" he said before walking back towards his room.
