Why didn't you tell us- Zayn centric- Zainourry, Jack and Jake

When you think of boxers, you think strong men with amazing lifestyles. That wasn't the story for young Zayn however, he was only 2 when he was first diagnosed with stage 2 Leukaemia, he had lost his dad to this same cancer only two moths before so his mother and two older siblings were heart broken when they found the youngest member  had the same deadly disease. This didn't stop him at the age of 4 joining a boxing gym. He was in remission till he was 5 and a half before he relapsed worse, he ended up having his leg amputated. 

The bad news didn't stop there for the small family, as his older sisters were diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer after all they'd been smoking for year, two weeks after their diagnosis they passed away leaving just Zayn and his mother. Zayn's mother couldn't take it and took her own life causing Zayn to become an orphan at the age of 7 just before he was put in remission for the second time. 

He was adopted by Darren Jackson who was his boxing instructor, though you'd hope that was the end for young Zayn, but after being in remission for 4  years, at aged 11, Zayn was told his cancer had come back, but he was now on Stage 3 and had his second operation to amputate his left leg meaning he was now labelled as disabled, but that wasn't the end for poor Zayn as the doctor found a timor in his brain, that was the third operation and Zayn could remember the pain he went through. Now at the age of 15 he was in remission and been  told by the doctor that the chances of his cancer coming back was so small that it would a unfortunate miracle.  

"Zayn darling, you have your last chemo session today" Darren shouted up to his adopted son

"Billy get the fuck out my room" Zayn shouted as his brother came in to help

"Why, I'm just trying to help you?" Billy said as he held up the shoes Zayn was looking for

"Get out, you know I don't like you seeing my scar" Zayn whimpered as he hid his scar 

"Zee, I don't care that you have scars, just shows how heard you've been fighting" Billy said bringing his younger brother in for a hug

"I want it to stop, I want to stay in remission I don't want to relapse anymore" Zayn cried clinging to his brother 

"Oh baby, why didn't you tell me how you were feeling?" Billy asked as he helped his brother into his wheelchair 

"I didn't want to cause you or Darren anymore trouble" Zayn said wincing as his hips were jostled

"You're no trouble at all babe, I promise" Billy said as he helped the boy into the lift that allowed the boy to get up and down the stairs

"Ok you ready, I'm going to drop you off at the gym Billy, stay with Zayn till the end of his chemo and then we are both going to come to the gym ok" Darren said as he saw both his sons come into the hallway 

"Dad, make sure to talk to Zayn, he just let to all his feelings to me" Billy whispered as they watched Zayn roll himself into the car

"Ok, is he ok, shall I ask them to do the chemo tomorrow?" Darren asked as he tied up his shoes

"No, I think that he needs to get this over and done with so he can be healthy again" Billy said as he walked out the door 

"Darren did you bring Roo?" Zayn whispered talking about his character from Winnie the Pooh that he'd had since living with the Jackson's

"Yea he's in the bag, next to Billy" Darren replied 

"Billy can I have Roo please?" Zayn whimpered tears threatening to fall 

"Yea sure, baby I want you to tell Darren how you feel please" Billy pleaded as he handed Zayn his Roo

"I will I promise" Zayn said hugging his toy close 

"Right I shall see you in two hours Billy, come on Zayn, last chemo then we are done" Darren said noticing the boy was becoming sleepy 

"Darren will I relapse this time?" Zayn asked quietly as they parked at the hospital 

"I hope not babe, I sure hope not, but if you do you will fight as hard as you can" Darren said wheeling Zayn into his hospital room 

1 and a half hours later 

"Ok finished, you are allowed to go home" the nurse said taking needles out of Zayn's arms gently 

"Thanks, right come on you" Darren said helping the boy into his wheelchair

"I want to walk again, I want to be able to box again" Zayn said as he got wheeled to the car

"I know you do but we have to wait till you are strong enough" Darren said as he helped the boy into the car

"Jake texted me this morning, asking if I was training tonight, I keep telling him no he's getting suspicious" Zayn said talking about his 3 month boyfriend

"Why don't you tell him about your cancer baby" Darren asked as they pulled into the gym car park 

"I'm scared he won't love me the same" Zayn said 

"Well, you are today, I am going to keep your hat, and you're going to show everyone that you have fought hard, I have your prosthetics in the boot" Darren said taking Zayn's hat off to reveal his large scar 

"I can't Darren he won't love me" Zayn whimpered as Darren went to get his prosthetics which he hadn't worn in months

"He will, now lets get these on" Darren said he put on the prosthetics Zayn's scarred stumps and helping the boy up

"I can't walk Darren, I'm not strong enough" Zayn said 

"You are strong enough, I promise now take your time and I shall meet you there" Darren said walking away leaving Zayn leaning against the car

"I can do this, come on Zayn" Zayn whispered to himself 

Pushing himself off the car he gently took one step falling but catching himself and taking another, and another and before he knew it he was walking, slowly but he was walking and with no help. Zayn soon found himself getting tired and rested against a wall before setting off again, the gym becoming closer and closer, his nerves becoming higher and higher. When he reached the door of the gym everyone stopped and looked at Zayn who had changed loads since everyone had seen him last. Though the five people who were looking closely at the boy was Jake, Liam, Louis, Niall and Jack, all of whom were boyfriends of Zayn.

"Welcome back Zee" Darren said as he saw his son walking on his own

"Zee you walked baby bro" Billy said hugging Zayn close

"Zayn, how come you never told us that you had cancer?" Jake asked quietly as Zayn came up to the five

"I thought you guys wouldn't love me any more" Zayn whispered as his older brother didn't know he was going out with these five boys but he wasnt quiet enough as Billy heard

"You better not him if you are going out with my brother, he is my baby" Billy said
