"Is he dead?" I heard someone whisper.
"Poke 'em and see.." I heard another voice say.
"Okay.." A female voice said this time. I felt something poke my skin, but it tickled more than hurt.
"Five more minutes," I mumbled before turning over to where my face was facing the wall.
"No, Zaynie. We are having our walk today." Who ever was speaking yanked the blankets off of me.
"UGH!" I groaned as I sat up on the hard mattress bed.
"IT'S ALIVE!!" Sylvia screamed.
I winced.
Ben, Jack, Austin, Stella, Neal, Serenity, Jace, and Lydia sitting around my bed.
"Morning Princess," Neal said.
I rolled my eyes at him and stood up, "Okay, I'm up now, so can you guys get out so I can get dressed?"
"K," Jack said and they all walked out.
"Meet us outside the trail," Stella said as Austin intertwined their fingers together.
I nodded as the two love birds walked out the room.
I took a quick shower, threw on some grey joggers and a white V-neck T-shirt.
It took me 13 minutes to get to the trail. I wouldn't have taken so long if the elevator wasn't broken.
"Zayn!" I heard someone yell. I looked over to see Lydia waving her arms in the air and jumping around, trying to get my attention. I laughed at her childish behaviour. She acted just like Louis, just not as hyperactive.
"Hello loves!" I cooed as I walked over to them.
They all chorused a hello. I looked around and took in my surroundings. It was still a little dark since it was, like, 4 in the morning, but the sky was turning a beautiful orange-blue. The woods were very still and silent. You could hear the birds chirping and the crickets cricking... or whatever they do.
We talked for awhile and then started to walk down the dirt path. It was about 3 miles long. After being in that building for a week without working out, you get a little out of shape.
"WHO WANTS TO RACE TO THE END?!?" Lydia yelled.
Jace took off running.
"HEY!" Lydia yelled while running like a cheetah after him, "YOU CHEATED!!"
I smiled and looked over at Stella. She was looking longingly into Austin's eyes and smiling. He held onto her hand.
Something seemed a little off key. He seemed.... angry? Scared? Sad?
I furrowed my brow and looked a head of me. The building came into view and gathered up all my energy and sprinted for the building. I would do ANYTHING for one of Harry's burgers. And one of Liam's chocolate moose cake. And some of my Mom's enchiladas. Oh man! Now I'm hungry!
I stopped outside the entrance door and fell onto the floor. I laughed randomly and tried to catch my breath -which was epicly failing because I was laughing so hard.
"Mr. Malik? Are you alright?" A women in one of those old nurses outfits that nurses wear in horror movies and shit said.
"Yeah," I stood up and ran to the canteen.
I grabbed a blue try and grab almost one of everything -Pizza, hot dog, chili, chicken strips, chocolate cake, ice cream dish, and to balance it out I also grabbed some strawberries.... dipped into chocolate...
What can I say? I'm in a chocolate mood!
I dug into my food -eating it all except for the crust of the pizza and the green, useless things on the strawberries.
I mean, why do they have those things on there?! What if an old person was eating a strawberry and ate the green leaves and dies the next day?! What if-
"ZAYN!" I looked up to see Jace and Lydia hovering over me, trays in hand.
"Uh- Yeah?" I asked
"We wanted to know if we could sit with you!" Lydia said smiling. I gestured for them to sit. After a few minutes of small talk the rest of the 'gang' came and sat at the table.
Five more pieces of pizza, lots of laughing, and almost starting a food fight later, me and Jace were playing football (A/N: American Football, or as I like to call it, handegg) outside.
He is really good. I threw the ball and it spiraled to him. He caught it with one hand and in a flash he was throwing it back. The ball smacked me in the face and I held onto my chin. Wow. That kid has an arm!
"Are you okay?" Jace said once he controlled his laughter. I looked up a him and both burst into laughter.
"Well today was a pretty predictive day," Jace said throwing the ball into the air and then catching it.
"Yeah, it was," I said laying down on my bed. I looked over at Jace. He was laying on Stella's bed and was tossing the ball in the air. I noticed writing on the ball.
"What does that say?" I pointed to the ball.
He held the ball in both hands, "Oh, it's the signatures of the LSU footballers."
"What's LSU?"
"Louisiana State University, It's in the US.... It's also where I'm from," He said in his American accent.
"You're from Louisiana?! Do you really have alligators in you back yard?!" I sat up and leaned in for the answer.
""Uh-No." He smirked at me, "Where in the bloody hell did you hear that from?"
Bloody hell, that reminds me of Niall.
"My friend Louis told me you did. His Uncle moved to Louisiana before he died 4 years ago..." I smiled at him and he shook his head smiling.
***********
I heard the door unlock and open.
I have been sitting in this boring room alone since Jace had to go to concealing an hour ago.
"Hi Zayn," Stella said as she pulled off her coat and threw it on the floor by her bed. I swear this girl is more messy than Harry! Okay, why does everyone here have to remind me of my friends?
"Hi," I mumbled.
"What's wrong," She looked at me, worry in her blue eyes.
"Nothing, just missing me friends," She walked over to me and hugged me.
"You'll see them soon! I promise."
For some reason, when she touched me I suddenly felt like everything was gone. Like her touch has some force that pushes everything away....
