Curiosity (Zayn Malik/ One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter 4

When we arrived all the boys were sitting at the back if the restaurant in a booth. Trying to be low key, being the worlds biggest boyband and all.

'Hey!' Louis shouted, Niall and Liam shhh'd him and we all chuckled and said our hellos.

I sat either side of harry and zayn, who was on the walkway side and opposite Niall. Dinner was normal, the small chitchat and eating. halfway through finishing our meals 2 young girls came up to zayn and tapped him on the shoulder, he turned his head and the youngest girl hugged him.

'Awww hello cutie' said Niall with his thick Irish accent

'Hello' the girls said shyly

'Could you sign this please for my sister, she's a big fan' asked the older girl and handed Louis a piece if paper,

'Of course we can sign this 'for your sister' Niall said The paper went around and all the boys signed it. The oldest girl went to grab the piece if paper.

*Zayn's POV*

She reached in front of me to collect the piece of paper as I was almost finished signing it, I saw her wrists, not only her wrists but her arms.

Covered,in scars.

I chocked on my words that I was about to say and stopped writing, she jut looked down at me, waiting patiently with the biggest smile I had seen, she seemed so happy like me, but deep down I knew exactly how she felt. The pain. The hiding. The loneliness. And I felt like I knew her.

I pulled down my jacket sleeves to cover my own scars as I stood, my figured towered over her, she was even more gorgeous from this angle,

How could someone be his perfect I thought to myself. I bent down and handed her little sister, well i assumed it was, the piece of paper and gave her a hug

'Look after your sister, okay? Cutie' and reached out to see her reaction she just simply nodded her head. I smiled and regain my height. I stared into her eyes, they were beautiful, her just over shoulder length white blondish hair, just a shade darker than her. pale skin colour. I leaned in and gave her a hug, its like she was made to fit against me, the perfect size I whisper into her ear

'You are beautiful, don't ever forget that, don't do anything silly. Try stop. I know how it feels and I understand, do it for your sister I can tell you love her, try please' as I pulled back I noticed her face dropped she was obviously shocked and confused. However she forced a smile and said good bye.

As she walked away i noticed her mouth the words

'thank you' the same words I had said to Lot only a few hours earlier. Considering we finished lunch I tired to hurry the conversation so I could get home, we finished talking about our up coming tour, Take Me Home, and we will not our desperate ways.

'Come in let's go its getting late zayn' said harry I stood there still

'I will take you home, COME ON!' hr said starting to get annoyed.

'Hurry up we have rehearsals tomorrow its almost 5pm let's go!' He almost shouted

'No I'm right, I will just catch a cab' I replied

'alright cya mate, are you coming Lou?' Harry asked

*Lou's POV*

'No I might go with zayn, sorry, bye though lovey' I said giving him a hug, waiting until harry drove off, I then turned to zayn who was sitting on a garden bed outside the restaurant. He looked at me confused

'You didn't go with Haz?' He asked looking puzzled

'No, im not leaving you alone after what happened this morning, come on let's take cab' I replied with a smile He huffed and dragged his feet over to the foot path, I was hailing at cabs while he just stood there.

'Not happy to be with me?' I asked semi-sarcasticly

'Hahah its not that Lou, you know I love you Like a sister' he replied with his arm around my shoulder 'Then what is it?' As I was genuinely concerned.

'Nothing doubt worry' he quickly replied trying to avoid conversation.

'I am going to worry about it, about you and all the boys because I care about you all' I said. Zayn was just about to reply as the taxi pulled up and he hoped in.

The ride was quite, until I got a text from Tom (Atkin, Lou's partner IRL)

From tom: hey you coming home tonight, what time? Love you beautiful x

He is so sweet checking up on me, I loved him so much,

To Tom: sorry babe, I'm not sure what time it even if I will make it home tonight, one if the boys is going through a rough stage xx love you xo

I knew I should go home, but I was too scared to leave zayn alone.

'You know you don't have to stay with me right' he interrupted my thoughts

'I know but i want to, zayn okay?' I probably sounded rude but it was in his best interests

He just shrugged and went back to looking out the window And it stayed like this for the rest of the drive home.
