Harry's POV

"I feel so bad Zayn, I really wanted to tell him." I exclaim, plopping down on Zayn's couch.

"Your protecting him Harry. Do you want him in danger?" I shake my head, "Then why are you so bothered about it." I sigh sitting up. I really didn't expect Zayn to understand why I was so distraught, he never understands.

"I want to tell him- but then he'll be afraid of us." I can already see the look of fear on his face as I tell him I eat people to survive. "I don't ever want him to be afraid of me."

Zayn sighs, sitting down his phone to look over at me. "He's your friend, correct?" I nod, "Didn't you wanna always keep your friends safe?" I nod again

"But-"

"Think about if you did tell him. How do you think he'd react? Just like any other person would Harry. If you really wanna tell him do it but be prepared to lose a friend." I close my mouth. He's right and I hate it. If I tell Niall I'll lose him forever and I cannot ever lose him. If I don't tell him I might still lose him.

Why is this so hard??

I spent all night thinking about what I was gunna do, and exactly what I was gunna say next time I saw Niall. At first I was prepared to tell him everything from day one to now. As I followed that plan my mind wandered to if I didn't so I went with that plan. After hours of debating with myself I decided not to tell him.

The morning was literally hell. I hadent an ounce of energy in my whole body. Louis was extreamly confused why I was so quite and distant. He almost seemed concerned.

"Hey Harry," Lou says walking into my room, "Niall is going to come over for a bit... is that okay?"

"Yeah," I almost whisper, "Just please, keep it down." He nods, shutting my door quietly. I rolled back over to 'my' side of the bed.

About five minutes later a knock came from the front door. I heard Louis tell Niall that they had to be quite and of course Niall obeyed. It was about ten minutes after Niall came over that I got fed up with laying in bed so I quietly padded down the hallway.

Lou and Niall were both on the couch watching a film. Niall let out a small yawn, making me smile. He looks fricken adorable when he's tired. "Hey guys." Niall jumped.

"You scared me!" He exclaimed, his hand placed over his heart.

idiot.

I chuckled hopping over the couch, sliding smoothly between the two, "What are you guys watching?" Louis shrugged.

"Some shit film Niall chose." Niall gasped, leaning over and punching Louis in the stomach.

"This isn't a 'shit' film! This is a classic!" Louis rolled his eyes.

"Niall this movie came last year and got almost a thousand dislikes." I let out a small chuckle as I watched the two argue.

"Bu-" Niall began only to be cut off by the front door ripping open. Zayn stormed in, soaking wet.

"Zayn?"

"You assholes!" He shouts, tearing off his jacket, "I called both of you almost fifty times!" I furrow my brow and pull out my phone.

holy shit.

"Zayn I'm sorry my pho-"

"I don't give a shit if your phone was on silent! You fuckers said you'd come get me!" I cringe, remembering I did tell Zayn we'd come get him.

"Zayn..." He rolls his eyes.

"Just shut up and get me some clothes." I nod, quickly getting up and following Zayn to my room.

I pulled out some black sweats and a white shirt tossing them his way. He thanked me and headed to the shower.
"I'm really sorry Zayn." I called after him. He turned around, flipped me off then continued to the shower.

fuck too too Zayn.
