Baby "Jayn"

"Nobody, Jayn'sh a big boy"

Chapter 55
{Zayn}

Zayn walked down the hall, curiously looking around. A man stood by a doorway talking into his phone. Zayn tip-toed inside, grinning as the man didn't notice him.
He looked up and a soft gasp left his lips. Tables were placed in rows and a kitchen was made at the end of the room. Fruits and vegetables as well as dessert were placed on a counter, and Zayn smiled. He trotted excitedly forward, leaning up on his tip-toes and grabbing a small red fruit he had never tasted. He eyed the fruit for a little while before popping it in his mouth. A sweet rich taste spread itself in his mouth and Zayn hummed. "Nam."

"Kitchen's closed. Claud if that's you again..." A woman walked up to him, a puzzled expression taking up her old one. "Who are you?"
Zayn froze, two small red fruits in hand.
The woman looked around and then kneeled down. "Who did you come with?"
Zayn swallowed. "Leeyum and Hawwy and Nawiall and Loueh."
The woman's eyes brightened. "Oh, you're the little boy!"
Zayn shrunk back, looking down at the fruits in his hand. Would he get punished? He was always told not to touch things that weren't his. Zayn began to grow nervous and he quickly placed the delicious fruit in the lady's lap. "Showwy."
She smiled. "No worries, you like strawberries?"
Zayn glanced at the red mini fruit and nodded. "It'sh tashty," he admitted.

The woman grabbed a plate and scooped up a few more strawberries as well as lots of small round blue fruit. She placed a banana in the plate too and set it down on the nearest table. Turning to Zayn with a smile, she nodded her head towards the plate. "Go on."
Zayn smiled and climbed up the chair. He eyed the blue mini fruit as the woman began to cut an apple. Picking it up, he placed it on his tongue. It was cold but tasted good, really tasty.

"So, what are you doing here?" she asked.
Zayn wiped his mouth with his shirt sleeve. "Jayn wash awone. Hawwy left."
"Really? Where did he go?" The woman asked, chuckling to herself.
Zayn shrugged. "Jayn dwon't know, but Leeyum and Nawiall and Loueh went too."
"Who's supposed to look out for you?"
Zayn shook his head. "Nobody, Jayn'sh a big boy."
The woman smiled, placing the plate with the cut apple in front of him.
Zayn grinned at her toothily. "Thank ywou."
"You're welcome dear. Why don't you eat and I'll be right back." The woman told him, and Zayn just nodded.
He began to dig in, a small smile on his face. He would ask Leeyum later if they could also bring strawberries home. Home. Zayn wiped his mouth. He was living with them. He was eating with them. He was sleeping with them. He had fun with them. And Louis had said it was his home too, and Liam had said they were a family.
Zayn nodded to himself. It was his home too now...right?

He grabbed the napkin beside his plate and dried his hands, jumping off the chair. As he leaned up to grab the banana, a little giggle made him turn his head. He looked at the door, but nobody was there. Deciding that he had probably heard wrong, Zayn grabbed the banana. As he tried to peel it, the same giggle was heard. Zayn's eyes widened. It had come from under the table.
Suddenly in one swift motion, someone grabbed his banana and ducked back down. Zayn caught a flash of blonde hair, and he crouched down on his knees. He looked under the table to see someone reaching the end of the table. Their shoulder-length blonde hair was visible as they stood up...with a banana and small packet of something red. Strawberries.

Zayn frowned. She was stealing food! What if the woman came back and thought Zayn had done it? She would tell the boys, and they would be so mad at him.
Zayn crabbed forward, dodging the chairs. He reached the end and stood up, bumping his head on the table. "Ow," he mumbled as he crabbed out and stood up. He turned to his right on time to see a flash of the blonde hair and a mischievous grin.
Zayn ran after the girl, out of the room and down the hall. People were beginning to notice the two toddlers, passing them in great speed.

"Wait, come back!" Zayn said to the girl as she climbed up a set of steel stairs. Zayn followed gingerly. When he reached the top, the screaming almost penetrated his eardrums. He had no idea where he was. A huge metal building surrounded him, and a few guys were talking and working on a computer at the other end. There was a door too, but it was closed. Zayn held his ears and his eyes landed on the girl. She was hiding behind a thick curtain, peeking through it. He curiously tip-toed forward.
What he saw made him gasp loudly. The screaming had increased and he could hear the beat of a song playing. From where he stood he could see thousands of people below him. Zayn took a cautious step back.

The girl turned to him with a sheepish grin. She handed him the banana, and Zayn took it. "Who ywou?" she asked, her Bambi eyes looking at him from head to toe.
"Am Jayn." Zayn told her. He recognized her from the picture in Harry's room. So that's who he had been carrying.
"My nwame ish Luksh!" she exclaimed proudly, and Zayn smiled. He pointed to the curtain. "What'sh dat?"
Lux leaned forward and whispered in his ear. "They come hewe and shing!"
Zayn was about to peek through the curtain again when a voice yelled, "hey, you kids!"
His heart thumped and he glanced at Lux with wide eyes as man jogged towards them.
"Wun!" Lux yelled and the two toddlers sprinted forward. The man was fast though, right behind them.

Zayn swallowed the lump of fear as he saw that there was a dead end. There was no going forward except jumping down. Lux suddenly bounded to their right and Zayn followed instinctively. They found themselves behind the curtain, where the screaming and booming had increased. Zayn held his ears tightly, his eyes landing below him where lots of girls were screaming. Others stared at him with wide eyes. He heard a booming voice and looked up. Thousands, no a number bugger than thousands, of people were screaming at the same time, and his heart raced.

The lights dimmed suddenly and he glanced to his right. Louis, Liam, Niall and Harry were standing by some tall stands as another, this time slower, beat played through. Niall began to sing, and Zayn watched curiously as his voice boomed through the place.
I figured it out
I figured it out from black and white
"You kids come back here, right now!" The man lifted the curtain and beckoned them forward.
Seconds and hours
Maybe they had to take some time
Lux froze beside him, and Zayn didn't know what to do. Should he go forward and run to the boys? An uneasy feeling grew in his stomach as he looked at all the people, only being able to see movement, heads and lights.
Liam was singing now, and Zayn glanced at the man. Lux stood on her tip toes and screamed in his ear, "I have an idea!"

I know how it goes
I know how it goes for wrong and right
She walked forward and the man's eyes widened. He talked into his phone thingy as Lux pulled Zayn along. She pointed to the curtain two meter away from them. "Let'sh go undew thewe and then wun downshtaiwsh!" she yelled in his ear, and Zayn nodded.
She lifted the curtain up and he crouched behind her.
Tight like us
Did they ever fight like...us?
The tone in Liam's voice made Zayn look up. Four pair of widened eyes stared back at him. Harry quickly turned around with a scowl, continuing to sing.
Louis stepped back from his stand, and grabbed a water bottle. He quickly drank it, eyes glued on Zayn. When it was finished, he walked forward. Zayn glanced behind him to see a set of water bottles sitting there. Louis was coming here.

"Jayn, come won!" Lux grabbed his hand and tugged at it. Zayn snapped out of his thoughts, his stomach churning as he crabbed on the other side. He stood up and noticed the man still talking on the phone thingy. Lux ran down the steel steps carefully, and Zayn followed. His head hurt from all the screaming, and his heart was thumping loudly. An uneasy feeling grew in his stomach, making him swallow thickly.
Lux bolted into a room and Zayn followed slowly. Two pair of stern eyes met theirs as Lous crossed her arms, and Caroline raised an eyebrow. A cute baby with coffee colored skin, black dress and a checkers bandana crawled on the floor.
"Hi mummy!" Lux squeaked, digging her blue shoes on the carpeted floor. Zayn didn't have time to comprehend the two ladies as his eyes darted around the room.

There.

Running forward, the toddler reached the toilet just in time to throw his stomach's contents, his head hurting.

<><><>A/N<><><>
Okay so I'm so mad. I'm furious. I'm seething. THEY CUT OFF THE PART WHERE LOUIS TELLS HOW HE AND HARRY MET. 😩 why oh why. If they want to convince the world that Larry isn't real, then cutting off how they met is such a freakin good idea. Note the sarcasm.
Apart from that, The London Session was awesome, GMA was trash, Jimmy Kimmel was ugh, Ellen was good, and today's Jonathan Ross!

Important note to those who care: I do believe that Zayn will make great music that he likes, but both parties, ot4 and Zayn, are lying about certain things and it's making me hella suspicious. So if you really are interested I suggest you this link, and to listen behind Liam's solo in 1:25. Come up with your own opinion, cuz...there's something going on behind the scenes. Listen closely along with Liam singing, keep you eyes on all the boys and where they stand... It's almost like Zayn was in the original perfect. Maybe it's because he did record with them, maybe not. But just listen, even if you just want to listen to how perfect sounds with Zayn (:
