The Sound of Love (Discontinued)

Chapter 2

Zayn got back to his house and heard more yelling from his parents. This had become a normal thing. Over the summer, his parents started fighting over money and it had escalated over time.

"You never do anything around this house!" His mom yelled at his dad.

"I'm working twelve hour shifts! I get home and all I want to do is sleep! You don't understand what kind of stress I am put through at work!" He yelled back.

Zayn sighed. He hated hearing his parents fight, but there was nothing he could do about it. When he tried to stop the fighting before, it only made it worse. After that, he just let them fight it out.

Then teen just made his way to the kitchen and grabbed an apple. He acted as if nothing was going on as he usually did.

He then made his way up the stairs with his backpack and the apple and went to his room. He always felt a certain ease when he was in his room. It was always the quietest room in the house and it was where he did most of his drawing.

Zayn put his backpack on the chair at his desk and sat down on his bed while he ate his apple. His mind then wandered to the blonde again. He just wants to know what that guy's problem is. Zayn didn't do anything to him. All he did was try to introduce himself and be nice.

He shook his head. "Come on, Zayn. It's probably nothing. Just think about something else." He said to himself. He continued eating his apple and decided to text Liam.

'Hey, Liam. What's up?' Zayn texted. It was a few minutes before he got a text back.

'About to go to the movies. Got a date with Danielle. ;)' Liam texted back.

Zayn chucked and texted him a quick 'good luck', then put his phone away.

He looked around his room at all the artwork he had done over the past year abd a half. The teen smiled at all the work he had done. Zayn then remembered that he had started drawing in his notebook during first period.

He went over to his backpack and pulled out his notebook before flipping to the first page.

On the page was a drawing of him, Louis, and Liam, almost done. He smiled and continued working on it.

The next morning before school started the same way it had the day before. Zayn had picked Liam up at his house and made his way to scholars where they met Louis by the front door.

"Hey guys. Sorry I wasn't able to meet up with you after school yesterday. Mum picked me up early," Louis told them. "Did you guys happen to meet one of the new guys? I did."

"Actually, Zayn met with one of them in one of his classes," Liam told Louis.

"Which one? I met Harry. He has curly brown hair and green eyes," Louis explained.

Zayn shook his head. "No, I met the other one. Well, I saw him anyway."

Louis nodded. "Yeah. That's Niall. Poor kid. He's the whole reason they moved here."

Zayn was intrigued. "How come?" He asked.

"He was being bullied at his old school for being deaf. Of course they bullies made sure that he got made fun of and hurt him, even though he can't hear them." Louis explained to both of them.

Zayn was kind of surprised. "He's deaf?"

Louis looked a little confused. "You didn't know he was deaf? You had a class with him him, right?"

Suddenly, everything clicked in Zayn's brain. He didn't look up from his book because he didn't know Zayn had said anything to him; he was the last one out the classroom because he didn't hear the bell. It all made sense.
