My fault - His fault

Assumption

Thirty minutes later, Zayn left the prison feeling worse then before he had gone in. Niall hadn't told him the truth about what had happened. Zayn pushed and pushed but Niall said no. There goes what Harry said Zayn thought, how am I ever supposed to find out if Niall and Harry won't tell me. After ten minutes Zayn had given up, he didn't want to make Niall upset when he was already so... broken. He decided it was best to leave him alone, even though not knowing what had happened to Niall was killing him.

'Liam... I should go to see Liam. Normally I would. I don't want to see him anymore. Liam's acting like a baby. How could he not see Niall? His best friend?'

"Are you getin in or not?" Zayn was pulled out of his thoughts by the taxi driver. He hadn't realised he had hailed a taxi while he was thinking.

"Sorry," Zayn got into the back seat.

"Where to?"

Zayn sighed and relayed the address of their house.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Zayn! There you are!" Louis yelled the minute Zayn walked through the door. He grabbed onto Zayn's hand and dragged him into living room.

Zayn walked over and sat down by Liam and looked at Louis, "What's going on Lou?" He asked

"You remember that interviewer we had last week?"

Liam and Zayn both nodded. How could they forget?

"Harry visited me in a dream and he wanted me to call her. So I did. Her boyfriend went to prison for drugs. He committed suicide not long after he got out. He was in there for ten years, so I asked about how he got laid. She told me the men just fucked each other,"

Zayn held back a gasp.

'He can't be... They wouldn't!' He thought to himself although he never completed the thoughts. It was to horrible to think about. 'What if they are... Wasn't there this article about... Guys getting... raped in prison? No! No! Zayn don't think like that! That wouldn't happen to Nialler! Just stop thinking... but what if?'

Liam stood up and Zayn did too, "That's bull, Louis. That reporter was feeding you a load of crap," Liam yelled, 'Why was he so mad?'

Zayn took a breath, "What if Louis right?"

Liam turned his fiery gaze on Zayn, "I just came from visiting Niall... If you care. He looks horrible, by the way. I'm not sure but after what Louis said, I think he's being raped," Zayn was blunt. He had to get through to Liam, he didn't know why he just had to.

"What?" Liam and Louis whispered

"What I am sure of though is that he's being beaten... regularly. I know you won't go and see him but I thought you might want an update." He spat in Liam's face before turning and walking away.

Zayn went to his room and flopped on his bed, "Zayn! Wait!" Louis shouted and Zayn wiped his face quickly, holding back more tears as he turned to face Louis. "What?"

"Do you really think that's happening to our Baby Nandos?" Louis asked, hugging Zayn.

Zayn buried his head in Louis neck, "I... I don't know. I went there today an... and I was told he had just been released from hospital. He could... he could barely walk and he wouldn't say what happened."

He rubbed Louis back as they both sobbed, both thinking. What has happened to us?

Meanwhile, Liam stood frozen facing the door Louis and Zayn had walked out of. He had been staring at Zayn, but his eyes couldn't move so he continued to stare. His thoughts weren't clear, all jumbled up into one untidy mess. He didn't know whether to cry, scream, throw something or do all three. So, he stood there, for well over an hour.
