Zayn didn't know why he had to go to so many doctor appointments, but here he was once again sitting in a little waiting room playing on the iPad while Harry and Liam checked the boy in.

"Zayn come on babe, we are going to go on back." Liam said and so the boy slid of the seat and took Liam's hand happily before letting the man lead the way to a cozy looking room.

"Hello, my name is Dr. Anderson it's nice to meet you." a woman said walking through the door. Harry and Liam quickly introduced themselves as well as Zayn before they were seated on the couch.

"So I talked to you Harry a couple days ago and you were telling me Zayn was having some troubles mentally and socially." and Harry nodded.

"At school he only has two friends. That's it. And his teacher always sends home notes about how the boy needs to participate more. As for mentally, a couple nights ago he had a pretty bad anxiety attack where he said there were voices in his head making fun of him."

"Well that's definitely something." Dr. Anderson said writing some stuff down in her notebook. The three adults talked about various things having to do with Zayn and whatnot.

"So Tuesday's at 3:30?" Harry clarified as their weekly appointment time.

"Yep! I will see you guys next week! Bye Zayn!" Dr. Anderson said waving at the little boy who blushed and cuddled into Liam's chest.

"Papa! You went the wrong way!" Niall exclaimed as Harry turned right out of the school instead of their usual left.

"No, we are taking Zayn to his therapy appointment." Harry said and the two older boys groaned. "We talked about this appointment this morning, it will be every Tuesday's from now on."

"But that was before I knew I had a lot of homework though." Louis complained.

"Yeah me too!" Niall said and Harry rolled his eyes.

"Your brother's appointment is way more important. While Zayn is in the appointment I can drive you boys home." Harry said slightly annoyed.

"You not stay?" Zayn mumbled from behind Harry. The older man sighed, running a hand over his face because he was going to wait until they had gotten there before telling him he was leaving.

"No bud I won't be with you, but Dr. Anderson will be there." Harry said trying to lift the boy's mood but Zayn just pouted in his seat.

Upon arriving at the little office, Harry quickly unbuckled Zayn and carried him inside where Dr. Anderson was waiting for him.

"Hi Dr. Anderson, nice to see you again." Harry said as he shook the lady's hand.

"Nice to see you too! Zayn how are you doing bud?" she asked looking at the boy in Harry's arms.

"Good." Zayn mumbled as he looked down at the ground.

"Well are you ready to come on back? I got some fun stuff we can play." Dr. Anderson said which caught the little boys attention. Harry gave Zayn a kiss on the cheek before setting him down.

"I love you babe and I will see you in a hour, I promise." Harry said giving Zayn one last kiss before Dr. Anderson took Zayn's hand and led him back to her office.

"Did you have a good day at school?" Dr. Anderson asked as she grabbed a few things off of her desk.

"S' fine." Zayn mumbled looking around the room.

"Yeah what did you learn today?"

"Read." Zayn mumbled simply.

"Yeah! That sounds cool, do you like reading?" Dr. Anderson asked and Zayn shrugged. "I have some books we can read, if your good you can even take some home."
