   Ȥayn didn’t tell anyone he was gay. Hell, he was even surprised some people didn’t already see that he was. He was always hanging out with a certain Irish blond. But they have always hung out with each other, ever since they were youngsters. From the moment that Niall had asked if he could borrow some of Zayn’s crayons in Kindergarten Zayn knew that they were gonna be friends.

They grew up together, always hung out on weekends and after-school, always talked about everything, told each other everything. Well almost everything that is.

It was when Niall was gone from school one day that Zayn started to notice some things. Of course Zayn thought that Niall had gotten sick one day and had to stay home… but he didn’t expect for him to be gone the whole week. And gone for the whole week without even calling to tell Zayn what was up. Even when Zayn called him—almost 40 times but it wasn’t like Zayn was counting—Niall hadn’t picked up the phone once. Not even Niall’s parents.

Maybe Niall was seriously sick. Maybe a family emergency came up. All these thoughts running through Zayn’s head. He didn’t know what to do, maybe Niall just needed some time off? But this wasn’t like Niall, he would always call and tell Zayn whenever something happened.

It was when Niall was gone for a week and a half Zayn finally went to his house. At first Zayn had mixed feelings about this, he didn’t want to annoy Niall. But then on the other hand Zayn wanted to be a good friend and make sure he was ok. Surely you had to cut Zayn some slack.

On the Wednesday of the second week Zayn turned down the opposite road towards Niall’s house after school. Walking quickly he made good time and got there within 10 minutes, passing all the usual landmarks on the way.

Zayn was now standing outside Niall’s house, everything dark. Which was quite odd because Niall’s mother was a stay at home mum, her always leaving something on in the house signaling that life was there. But no, everything was dark.

Zayn walked up the cobblestone path, clambering up the wooden steps that lead onto the front porch. His feet leaving loud thumps as he walked across the hallow deck and knocking on the door. The echos of his knock sounding through the other side of the door and into the house.

Zayn stood there for a few moments. Once 15 seconds passed by he knocked again. Still no one. He was about to knock again. That was until he heard a loud crash and thump come from inside.

Zayn stopped short, getting closer to the door.”Niall?” he questioned. “Niall you in there mate?”

No sound. Zayn put his ear against the door. He didn’t hear anything, but he swore he did a few seconds ago. “Niall I know your there. I just wanted to see if you were alright. You know, check up on you t’s all.”

Still no sound. Zayn waited a minute before he sighed and leaned down, flipping up the door step mat. “If you won’t come out, then I’m coming in.” Zayn explained as he stood up, now holding a key in his hand. Putting the key in and turning it the door opened. Zayn put the key in his back pocket, and strolled into the house.

Everything was dark, that was the first thing Zayn noticed. Well that and the small blood stain in the hallway.Zayn’s eyes widened, as he took a step back. The stain wasn’t that big, about the size of Zayn’s hand, but still it was a blood stain. And nothing ever was good about a blood stain.

Zayn was about to call out for Niall, but he decided against it. Whoever the intruder was in the house would get him if he said a word. Well that is if an intruder was here. Tightening his backpack around his shoulders, Zayn walked into the living room. Careful as to where he stepped he slowly made his way across the room and grabbed the poker from the fireplace. If there was someone here, then he might as well have something to protect him just in case.
