Him.

ANNE:

I don’t know why but his words made me had a stroke pass by.

This is what always shakes me the most.

He doesn’t have split personality disorder, right?

‘Thank you.’

Is that what that rude handsome devil just mumbled loud enough to me when all I did was a try to help Niall?

And more specifically, risking his life in my hands!

“Why don’t you just lay down for a bit?” a voice interrupted me, making me flinch as an unexpected one hit me.

I looked over to see Liam and Louis stepping inside, behaving like those seniors in college.

“So snowflake’s game is over right?” Liam pointed at unconscious Niall, laughing with Louis as they shared the same joke over and over again.

“Sorry to disappoint you but he’s just asleep.” I nodded.

“Damn this blonde really is a hardcore man surviving again.” Louis hit fist against his palm, pretending to be upset.

“Again?” Has that happened before?” I interrupted their cycle, earning a good cold stare from two gentle- man who aren’t laughing anymore.

“It has.” Liam answered, nodding while he stepped closer in my direction.

Another new rule to be stuck in that little brain of yours:

Never ask any of them to elaborate an answer they have intentionally decided to keep shorter unless you want them to strangle you.

If they want to, they would without further interrogation. (Whether you’ll like it or not)

“It’s not just him who has been through shit like this.” Louis added, looking between Niall and me.

Holding my urge to ask because I knew they’d spill anyway or so I felt, I played even more innocent.

“We all have gone through these roughs more than once.” Liam supported Louis statement.

“Who did this exactly?” that was the most interesting question of all.

“I wish we knew.” Liam mumbled in a low voice but was audible.

“No fucking clue.” Louis spoke out aloud with some bold phrases.

“Will they kill you or just threatening?” that worries me a lot on the inside to see them risking their life.

“As many times it has happened, no matter how severe it was but they always left us alive so maybe just a threat but you never know.” Liam looked up, meeting his eyes with mine.

“How long it’s been since it first happened?” I leaned forward, keeping my voice convincing.

“It first happened in 2021 when the band was discussed as a matter of concern and solo careers were forced on us because Harry and…” Liam trailed off the end of the sentence.

“Zayn had a fight.” I completed the sentence, connecting dots between what Niall told me and Liam’s words.

“Fuck!” Louis cursed, rushing to my side.

Wait. What happened?

Did I just say that aloud?

“Who told you that?” Louis asked, looking at Liam as they shared the same weird ‘it might get you killed’ look.
