Unmasked

"Can we just go to bed? I am really tired,we can talk in the morning." I started going up the stairs.

"Wait" Harry cuts in front of me, "Do you promise?"

"I-"

"Do you?" Louis looked me with stern eyes.

"Fine, yes I promise!" I get through Harry and go upstairs.

I go in my room and change into shorts and take off my shirt. I am about to go to bed then I hear Harry and Louis talking, I press my ear on my bedroom door to listen.

"Do you think he's going to keep his promise?" Harry asks Louis.

"I don't know,hopefully... Let's get some rest though, goodnight."

"Your right, night."

I lay on my bed... Phew so close! But they are getting too close, time to do what I hate... Lie.

With that thought I fell asleep..

-

I wake up to the knock on my bedroom door.

"Zayn? You awake yet?"

It was Niall.

"Ah, come in," I turn on my bed to face him, I give a little stretch.

"May I help you?"

"Well Harry and Louis said that your going to tell us something I think?" He sits on my bed.

"Oh yes I am..." I sigh, "but can I at least get out of bed and shower?" I pat his back and smile.

"Yah sure!" He gets off my bed a starts walking out of my room, "Ill see you downstairs?"

"Yah."

He smiles and goes downstairs.

I roll out of bed, "Ughh I need to stop getting home so late, I am getting up at 2pm and it's too late."

I rub my fingers through my hair and sigh. "Better go shower!"

-

After my shower I changed and walked downstairs,not to excited to tell the lads a lie.... I hate lying, but I had to, for now.

"Looks who's finally up!" Liam runs towards me and gives me a huge.

"Haha yah I am up!"

He puts his arm around my shoulder, "What do you want for breakfast, or should I say lunch for you!"

"I don't know... What's there?"

"Umm not much, Harry didn't go grocery shopping yet." He gives a little pout.

"Ha well lets see, shall we?" I point towards the kitchen laughing.

"Ok."

We both walk to the kitchen seeing Niall grabbing some cookies and milk for a snack.

Harry was washing the dishes, and Louis was making coffee.

"Morning lads, or good afternoon..." I smile.

"Heeyy there!" Niall says with cookies filling his mouth.

"Say it don't spray it!" Louis complains "What's up Zayn!"

"What's up Lou!" I run towards him and give him a hug, he laughs,

"Someone's in a good mood today!"

"Yah, wouldn't I be?"

"I don't know, I just thought,oh never mind, he smiles, "What do you want to eat?"

"Uh ill just have a banana for now, I am not that hungry." I walk towards the counter and take a banana, I sit beside Niall.

"Would you like coffee too?" Liam asks as he pours some for himself,

"Yah sure thanks Liam!" I take a bite out of my banana.

"Hey Harry you haven't said anything to me, what's up lad?"

"He hasn't said anything all day," Liam hands me my coffee.

I take a sip then frown, "Why?"

"Don't know." Niall shrugs, taking Liam's coffee from him and starts drinking it.

Liam tries to take it back, but Niall already took a sip.

I let out a smirk only Niall!

""NIALL!" Liam yells, he hits Niall in the arm, hard!

"Ouch Liam that hurt!" Niall rubs his arm.

"It was supposed to!" He gets up to pour himself another cup of coffee.

I shake my head and turn my attention to Harry.

"Harry?"

He stops washing the dishes and looks at me, "Where were you last night?" He blurs out.

"Harry I-"

"Just tell me - us Zayn!" He throws his hands up.

Everyone stops what they were doing, Liam puts down his cup, Louis just looks down at his mug, but Niall just keeps on chewing, which was getting annoying since it was the only thing we heard.

Louis elbows him, "Shh"

"Oh sorry!" He swallows hard and puts his attention at me.

Crap.

-

"We are waiting," Harry looks at me.

"I was at Perrie's house" I say.

Which wasn't a total lie, I went there but I wasn't there the whole time.

"That's it all this time you seeking out, it was her all along?" Harry asks.

"Yes."

"Well that doesn't seem right cause she knows that shes welcome here anytime."

Darn that didn't work.

"Hey Zayn just tell us the truth." Liam says while taking a sip of his coffee.

"Yah we will love you anyways." Niall takes a bite of his last cookie.

"We deserve an explanation." Louis looks me with concerned eyes.

Harry just starts at me saying nothing.

"Whatever Zayn." Harry starts walking out of the kitchen.

"Harry!" Louis yells.

"What? It's not fair to any of us that we don't keep secrets from each other, but he can? You promised to tell me Zayn you promised!" He storms out.

"Zayn we can't help you if you for tell us what's going on..." Liam gives me a I am sorry look for Harry and walks out to find him.

"Their both right." Louis walks out of the kitchen looking for Harry too.

"I suppose your mad at me too Niall?" I look down at my almost done coffee.

"No I am not mad, I am just disappointed in you that you can't tell us what's going on, Harry is really hurt."

"I know, I just can't tell you guys right now."

"But what if you tell us when it's too late?"

He walks out of the kitchen with the box if cookies in his hands.

That question rang in my ears like it was playing on the radio on replay.
