Unmasked

I parked my car in the driveway of the house, and tiptoed towards the house.

I opened the door quietly and looked around to see if anyone was still awake. I was just about to go upstairs then I hear a voice call my name.

"Hey Zayn, mate! Where have you been? It's 4 am!"

I jump but then I realize it was just Niall. I catch me breath.

"Hey man you scared me! I have been around, but why are you up?"

"I was getting a little midnight snack, you know I can't sleep with a empty stomach!" He says with a big grin on his face while holding a banana.

"Haha yes I know" Well I better get to bed , goodnight." I say quickly before he can start asking me questions.

"Wait your not going to tell me what you have been doing?" He asked with a concerned look on his face.

Patting his shoulder, "Not now, later I need my sleep. And so do you!"

I start heading upstairs, he comes with me. We say goodnight to each other and head to our rooms.

I sigh and lay on my bed wondering when is later... When will I tell Niall...

When will I tell all of them.... I fall asleep in deep thought.

-

I wake up to the smell of tacos. It must be Harry making tacos. I jump out of bed and realize I fell asleep with the same clothes I came in with.

I run to the bathroom and take a long warm shower. While I was in the shower I had to think of a way to tell them. Then I decided I won't do it today. I will just have to lie again.

I sigh and get out of the shower. With the towel around me I look for a change of clothes in my closet. I put on a red and black plaid shirt with black skinny jeans.

"Zayn are you up?"

I hear Liam's voice say

"Yah mate come on in."

He walks in and sits on my bed.

"It's like 1 pm why were sleeping for so long- wait what time did you come in last night?" He asks.

"At like 4!" Niall says walking in with a plate of tacos.

I roll my eyes thanks Niall I think to myself.

"Why does it matter so much guys? Like we don't always need to tell each other everything!" I say while storming out and going downstairs to eat some food.

"What's up with him?" I hear Liam ask Niall.

"Don't know" I hope he's not hiding anything big."

I go downstairs and see Harry making tacos and Louis helping him. I put on a smile and walk in.

"Morning!" Or should I say good afternoon..." Harry says.

"Heeeeyy mate!" Louis says smiling from ear to ear.

"Ha, good afternoon lads, how are the tacos coming?"

"Good! I just finished the last ones, you want one?"

I take out a plate " I would love one, or two."

Harry takes two and puts them on my plate.

"There you go."

"Thanks Harry they smell really good," I say as I take a bite out of one.

"Thanks mate", he says with a smile.

I take some juice out of the fridge and head to the tv, I turn it on, and sit in the middle of the sofa.

"Our show is on Lou!" I yell.

"Oh good, I'll be right there!" He yells back.

He runs and sits beside me with a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch.

As we were watching the movie the rest of the boys decided to join us. Liam sat beside Louis, Niall sat on the love seat with a bowl of popcorn, and Harry sat on the floor.

When the show was done I looked at the clock it was 2:15.

"Shoot I am late." Not knowing I said it out loud.

"Late for what?" Asked Liam and Niall

Harry and Louis just look at me weirdly.

"I have I meet someone."

I jump out of the coach and run to my room to get my car keys. I grab the keys and start running downstairs, but then I was stopped by Louis.

"Where you going mate?" He says while folding his arms on his chest.

"Don't worry, I really have to go Louis," I say trying to doge him but he doesn't budge.

"I am serious Zayn, you've been doing this ever since we've came back to London!"

"Yah it's getting kinda weird", says Niall backing Louis up.

"We are getting worried about you mate," Harry says with a worried look on his face.

Liam comes and puts is arm around me, "You can tell us anything Zayn, what's going on with you?"

By now they are all crowding around me. I look at Harry then to Liam, then to Niall then to Louis who looked pretty mad. I sigh.

" I can't tell you guys,I really can't, I am sorry."

I break out of Liam's arm and go out the door, I look back and see them all looking at me. They looked hurt and worried.

"I am sorry", I say quietly.

I close the door and walk towards my car. I look through the window and see them just standing there shocked. Then I hear Louis say,

"We are getting to the bottom of this.... Even if it kills us."

"Yup" they all say.

I duck before any of them see me.

"They don't know what they are getting themselves into."
