He called the only number he knew, even though it was going to put himself and his sisters in a lot of trouble.
"Hey Liam;" Zayd said quietly when his guardian answered the phone, "you need to come down to the precinct, we may have gotten in trouble."
Zayd was met with silence before he heard the phone click, signaling Liam hung up.
Fuck Zayd thought as he was brought into a room to be questioned.
Around an hour later Zayd, Zaria, and Zia we're all released from custody. The pills Zayd had mysteriously disappeared, and the three of them plus Zayn and Liam were on their way back home.
"I can not believe you three," Zayn stated, turning around in the passenger seat to look at his younger siblings.
"Not like we went out and killed someone," Zayd mumbled.
"Quiet, I don't want to hear any of you speak," Liam said as he drove, his knuckles turning white from how hard he was clutching the steering wheel.
Zayn turned to look at his boyfriend, placing his hand on Liam's thigh. Slowly rubbing it to calm him down a bit. Zayn knew Liam was pissed off, rightfully so though. How else were they supposed to feel when they got a phone call from a seventeen year old, seventeen year old they are in charge of, that was being held at the local precinct. The two older men weren't expecting to see the precinct looking like a zoo full of drunk teenagers. But what do you expect when a underage party is broken up. What infuriated them the most is the fact that one, the triplets thought it was acceptable to drink and two, Zayd was selling pills. Liam and Zayn understand what it's like to be young and wanting to drink and experiment. Liam especially understands that giving his past. Not when your underage, and not when you can easily get caught. Clearly the life isn't meant for them.
When the five returned home, Liam and Zayn helped the girls into the living room where they were laid down on the couch. Buckets placed next to them in case they got sick. Zayd kinda just stayed in the background, not wanting to get in the way or get into any more trouble then he was already in.
"Go find some blankets and lay down on the floor, I don't trust you to actually fall asleep in your room," Liam ordered as he sat down on one of the recliners.
Zayn sat in the other one.
Zayd mumbled under his breath while he did as told.
"Why am I stuck on the floor when they are perfectly comfortable guest beds on this level that I could sleep on?" Zayd asked as he made himself a bed on the floor.
"Because I told you to. Like I said I don't trust you to actually fall asleep if you're alone, so this way I can keep an eye on all three of you.," Liam explained.
"Next question, why are you two picking and choosing when you care? One second you don't care that we sneak out and go to parties. But now all of a sudden it's a big fucking deal. Why?"
"It's not that we don't care, there is only so much that we can do. I'd rather you three know you have a safe place to come back to at night instead of going off to some strangers house. I understand what it's like to be a teenager, I understand the want to sneak out and drink and experiment. But it becomes a problem when you get arrested. Care to explain why you had pills on you?" Liam questioned.
"Care to explain why they dropped the possession charge they wanted to charge me with?" Zayd countered.
"That is none of your business Zayd."
"Okay, same goes to you. It's none of your business," Zayd said while rolling his eyes.
"You're a minor, therefore your business when illegal is my business. So try again," Liam stated as he got up to grab a blanket. He had noticed Zayn falling asleep in the chair and wanted his baby to be comfortable.
