Searching For Nothing

Chapter 4

Zayn's POV

I absolutely love living with Dad and my uncles, it's been amazing the entire time but with that means that something bad is bound to happen. I walked downstairs to sitting room where Dad was sitting with Niall, I took a seat next to him but he took no notice to me. I have a questioning look to Uncle Niall who just shrugged so I decided not to test him knowing he was upset. I stood up and went to the kitchen where Uncle Louis was eating a cookie, at 10 in the morning.

"Hey Uncle Lou!"

"Hey bud, what's up?"

"What's going on my dad today?"

"Oh he's probably in one of his stupid moods, he gets like this a little by after he comes out of a relationship, he hates having to get used to being single."

"Oooh, well I enjoy being single, I don't have a single problem with it, more girlfriends more problems."

"Zayn you're gay, you won't even have girlfriends, and when have you ever had the experience of not being single?"

"I have had plenty of boyfriends in my time, last year I had about four."

"Then they must of each been for like a month long."

"Well no, I was with two at the same time for four months, and then there was another and I was with him for a solid three months, and then there was this other one for a week where things just got too heated to fast."

"What do you mean by heated?"

"Uncle Louis, he was kissing my cheek after the second day, a man needs his space."

Uncle Louis chuckled loudly and ruffled my hair and then giving me the rest of his cookie which I gladly accepted. I was eating the cookies when Dad walked in followed by Liam and Niall.

"Boys we have a heartbreaker on our hands."

"What can I say? The people want what they want, and I'm available until supplies runs out."

That's comment made Liam spit out his water and me start laughing, although I got no reaction out of Dad, but once again I didn't push it.

"Hey Uncle Niall, can you pass me an apple?"

Niall picked up an apple from the fruit bowl and tossed it to me but of course I missed so it hit dad right in the shoulder, I covered my mouth trying to desperately retain laughs.

"Nice throw Niall, let's have a rerun!"

Dad took the apple and threw it at the ground with such force that it splattered into chunks all over the kitchen, and it successfully made me jump back in my seat. Dad wiped his hand on his jeans and then walked out of the room, I looked at Uncle Niall who smiled sympathetically at me and gave me a hug while Uncle Liam cleaned the mess.

"Don't worry bub, it's just an off day, he will be normal by the end of the day."

I nodded and leaned into Uncle Niall's embrace causing him to pick me up and hold me on his hip.

"Why don't we all go play a video game in the other room? What do you think about that Zee?" Louis asked.

I nodded and we all made our way into the sitting room and played Mario kart, I beat Liam every time and beat Niall twice, but Louis always won.

"Keep it down!" Dad suddenly screamed from upstairs.

I jumped nearly a foot in the air because the sudden voice scared me, but I soon calmed down and went up to my room where I was met with Dad and a basket of laundry.
