Who Did It? (One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter One

Zayn's POV

Wednesday

These past couple days have been awful. Scratch that, this past week has been awful.

A little over a week ago, I saw something. That something has been driving me crazy. That's all that has been on my mind. I haven't been able to sleep or eat. I just don't know what to do about it. There isn't really anything I can do. Unluckily, something unfortunate was able to take my mind off of... what I saw.

On Monday my mom called and said she couldn't come visit me before we leave for tour in two weeks, which means I won't be able to see her for another six months; And it's already been three months since I last saw her. I know it's hard to beleive, but even a twenty year old guy can miss his family. Being my usual self, I bottled up the feelings and did my best to push them to the back of my brain. It was the least of my worries.

Due to the past week's events, I've done my best to avoid the rest of the lads. I couldn't look Harry or Louis in the eye, or any of them for that matter, knowing what I know. Adding onto the guilty feeling I got when I was around them, I also felt sad and disappointed. Those three things were not a good combination for me, I don't think they're a good combination for anyone. Knowing that I don't have the best temper, I decided I wanted to be alone before our charity concert this Friday.

On Tuesday, however, Harry and Louis invited the rest of us boys to their flat. I really wanted to decline, but I couldn't. I wasn't ready to talk about what I saw last week. Especially with us about to go on tour in just a few weeks. If I didn't go over to their place, though, they would know something was up. I already spent the last week distancing myself from them so they probabaly were already suspicious of me. Maybe this will be a good distraction me. The last week all I've been thinking about is how I should come about with this secret. When is the right timing? Should I tell him? Is it worth the risk? Will he hate me if he finds out from another person, soon after to find out I kept it from him?

Anyway, I decided to go over to Harry and Louis' so they didn't get suspicious of anything. Like usual, we didn't do anything too exciting. We just sat on the living room couches with some beer and chatted a bit. I, however, was keeping to myself and not really participating in the conversation. Unfortunately, the one person I was dreading even looking at can read me like an open book.

*Flashback to Tuesday*

"Zayn, are you alright? You haven't really been talking much." Harry said , his voice full of concern.

"Yeah... I'm fine." I mumbled. I didn't even bother to sound fine, maybe if he could tell I was lying then he'd just let me go home.

"Zayn, we can all tell you're lying." Louis piped up. "You're not fine. You haven't been fine for a week now. You have been ignoring us. Something is up, and you need to tell us."

Yes, something was up. But I was not going to tell them. If I haven't told them what's bothering me yet, what makes them think I'm going to tell them now? They're so ignorant sometimes. They know I hate to be pestered about stuff. They how aggitated I can get when they do this kind of stuff.

"Louis, I'm fine! God dammit! You're all so annoying sometimes!" I yelled. Alright, I admit it. I overreacted. It's obvious I am just trying to cover up my emotions with anger. But it's the only way I know how to hide them. I am not about to look weak in front of my friends. Louis looked at me angrily, he opened his mouth to say something but harry stepped in.

"Zayn, there is no need to yell right now. We just want to know what's on your mind." Harry said calmly. Me and Harry are alike in many ways. He has the same unfortunate traits that I do, he's stubborn and tempermental. I can tell he's trying to keep a level-head, but I know he won't be able to keep it like that for long. After what I saw last week, I can't look at Harry without feeling disgusted by him. Everything about him right now is pissing me off. It's about time he gets what he deserves.
