Silence (Ziall Horlik) AU

Chapter 12

Zayn's POV

I was startled awake by hearing my mum yelling my name from my own house through Niall's open window. Niall held on to me tighter as I tried to move over to go tell my my mum was here, but the sleeping boy has different ideas for me. It's weird for me how he can't hear a single thing and can sleep through absolutely anything, yet I still think that makes him even more endearing in an odd way.

After a few minutes of being pinned down in bed by Niall, I heard the doorbell ring to Niall's house. Not even a second later, my mum's frantic voice was talking to someone downstairs. I knew I was going to get in so much trouble for sneaking out and not coming home, so I held Niall close to me and pretended to be asleep because I would be killed by my mother once she finds me here. I snuggled into Niall while he did the same back to me in his sleep.

Niall's door swung open and I heard two gasps from the doorway. Niall's hand just slid down my back until it was wrapped around my waist. He does allot of touching in his sleep, but I don't care at all. Even if I was being touched all night in the weirdest ways, I found it to be the cutest thing because it was like his mind was reminding him to make sure I was still there. My shoulder was shaken and I felt Niall being shaken too, causing me to use my best acting skills that I had to act like I just woke up right now.

"Zayn, when did you get here?" My mum asked me like she was thinking something else other than just me sneaking out of the house. I sat up once Niall was sleepily aware of what was going on and let me go. I pulled down the blankets, which caused both the women in the room the cover their eyes. I rolled mine and looked over to see a very confused looking Niall. He moved closer to me and got my hand in his then placed it on his growling tummy. He giggled and I laughed, causing both our mum's to uncover their eyes and both look angry at us. All laughs and giggles were forgotten quickly.

"Don't ever sneak out of the house like that again! Your bed was still made, your window was wide open, your phone is still there and your drawing was just laying there. I thought you got kidnapped!" My mum yelled at me. I nodded at her because I understood all that she was worried about. My eyes wandered to where Maura was signing quickly to Niall, making him cower into my side with red cheeks as he watched his mother's hands.

"Now for you sneaking into Niall's room is a different story. I know I can trust you, but if you both sneak around then we'll all start thinking more is going on then just an innocent friendship. This is so wrong of both of you to do!" My mum told me loudly which caused Bobby to come into the room next. He was dressed in his nice work clothes as he looked at Niall and I. Having him see me in bed with his son made me climb out and stand next to the bed. He looked at me with a warning look like he would rip off my balls if I laid a finger on his son.

Niall breaking down in tears made all the anger on the room vanish. We all looked at him and saw how sorry he was for getting me in trouble and how embarrassed he was. He curled his knees up to his chest and hid his face in his knees. I crawled next him and rubbed his back as he looked up at my mum with his sad blue eyes.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault he's here. We were talking through our windows then I guess we both wanted to spend more time together, so he came over. I'm sorry, just don't make Zayn get in trouble and make him not see me again." He told my mum, then curled into me. I kissed his forehead before looking at his parents and apologizing for this and for coming uninvited. Bobby just gave me a small nod and told me to keep it in my pants before saying he had to get to work. Niall calmed down and remembered he was hungry, so he whined to me a small sound to help him. We both got out of bed and walked out of the room with our mum's following us.

Niall sat at the kitchen table and tried to pull me to stay next to him, but my mum said she needed me to get home because I was still in trouble for scaring her. Niall's mum translated that to him, which made Niall look at me sadly.
