His sisters gasped, Demeter's jaw dropped and everyone else just looked at him with wide eyes

Liam shook his head "For years, you told everyone that Zayn did a bad, that Zayn did a wrong" Liam frowned "When he didn't"

Edward frowned "What are you talking about?"

Liam took a deep breath "For years, my mother has been spreading that Zayn killed her sister, my aunt Hera... when he didn't"

The door then burst open and everyone turned towards it

Zayn slipped his sunglasses off and blinked, Liam looked at him and smiled

"I apologise, I didn't know about this meeting until about 2 hours ago... and I do love to make an entrance" he said as he shrugged

Louis smiled, Niall silently cheered and everyone else just watched as he walked towards Liam

He grabbed Liam by his neck, and kissed him, Liam smiled as he kissed him back

He was about to let Zayn sit down but Zayn forced Liam to stay seated and kissed his head

"Do what you came to do, Liam..." he whispered

Liam nodded and turned back to everyone "From the story we were told, is that Zayn liked Hera, Hera didn't like him back and he decided to kill her out of anger" Liam shook his head

"Hera, though closer to Zayn... had feelings for Louis, who never really reciprocated them; because he only ever saw her like a little sister to him"

Liam took a deep breath and held Zayn's hands "But she still tried to confess, though Zayn tried to tell her not to; that she won't get the outcome she desires... and he was right"

Hera ran into her room sobbing, Zayn running after her. He looked at her and she covered her face while sobbing

"Hera-"

"Am I not enough? Will nothing I ever do be enough for him?"

"Hera, listen... you'll find someone I promise-"

"I don't want SOMEONE!! I want him" she said sitting down

He frowned and sat down beside her, before taking her into a hug

She hugged him back with a frown before she looked at him "Will you talk to him? To try and convince him?"

Zayn cringed "You know I can't, Louis will find his person when the time is-"

She shoved him away and hugged her knees "I've loved and wanted him my whole life, isn't that enough?" She whispered

Zayn stayed quiet then smiled "How about I get you some ambrosia? It always made you feel better..."

She looked at him and smiled a shaky smile "Please"

"Zayn left, he came back and her on the floor, the plate fell from his hands and he rushed to her to make sure she's ok... but she was already dead"

Everyone stayed quiet and Liam looked at Demeter "Then you came in... you heard your sister had a bad reaction to what Louis said and wanted to go check on her, you saw her dead in Zayn's arms"

"What else was I supposed to think happened?" She whispered

"You could've asked rather than just point and tell everyone it's Zayn's fault, you could've given him a chance to explain rather than tell Louis you'll starve everyone if he doesn't exile Zayn"

"I had just lost my sister, I was devastated"

"So while being devastated you decided to create a rift between brothers? How sad of you"
