Zayn's POV
I watch her playfully as she answers the door. Her whole body freezes and she puts her hands up in surrender.
"Lydia, what are you-" I stop when I see the masked figure pointing a gun at her, backing her into the room. Holy shit!
"Look man, you don't have to do this. We'll give you anything you want just don't shoot." I plead, putting my hands up as he points the gun at me.
"Shut the hell up and put your wallet in the bag! This is a stick up!" He yells, his voice muffled by the mask and something else. Lydia smirks at the guy amd puts her hands down.
"Don't make me shoot you, sweetheart."
"You don't have the balls." Lydia responds. She looks completely at ease, considering there is an armed robber in our room threatening to shoot her in the face. I take a step towards him and he points the gun back at me. Big mistake.
Lydia lunges, quickly disarming him but he pulls out a knife. He slashes at her but she easily dodges him. I do the only thing my mind can think of; I grab one of the couch pillows and fling it at him. Not one of my best moments but it has the desired effect. He loses his concentration on Lydia and she kicks the knife out of his hand making it stick on the wall. Then she kicks his shin and pushes him onto the floor.
"You should really stick to computers." She teases him, smiling down softly at him. Why is she being so nice to a guy who just tried to kill us?
The guy tries to get up and charge at Lydia but she immediately pistol whips him.
"OWW LYDIA! WHAT THE HELL?!?!" yells the man, holding his head.
"Sorry, my instincts just kicked in. Are you okay?" She asks him gently. He takes the mask off and I finally get a good look at him.
He has light brown skin with light hazel eyes. His hair is shaved short on the sides but he has more on the top. He has a silver stud on his lip and an eyebrow piercing.
"You're not even bleeding you wimp." Lydia says playfully smacking his arm. He rolls his eyes and pouts.
"That doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt like hell. God, if you would've hit me harder I might be unconscious right now." He laughs. They are talking so casually as if the last couple minutes never happened. Who is this man? Before I can ask, Harry and Liam run into the room.
"What's going on? We heard loud noises. Is everyone alright?" Harry asks.
"Why do you have a gun Lydia?!?!" Liam questions, panic and concern all over his face. Lydia ignores all their questions and the guy leans down to give Lydia a quick kiss on the cheek before she hugs him tightly.
"Lydia...who is this guy?" I finally find my voice.
"This is Jamal. He's my little brother."
"WHAT?!?!?!" I'm so confused right now. They look nothing alike, different skin tones, different facial features. An even more confusing question, if he's her brother then why did he try to kill her???
"I didn't know you had a brother Lydia. Especially one so close to your age." Harry says, smiling knowingly at her. That's right. Harry and Lydia were childhood friends. He'd know if she had a brother.
"Well you have me there Harry. Jamal's not my biological brother but he's still my brother." Lydia steps closer to Jamal and hugs him tightly again. This is the most affectionate I've seen her with anyone.
"Yeah but our bond runs deeper than blood." Jamal says hugging her back tightly. She introduces us and we shake hands.
"Okay now that we have that situated, why do you have a gun?" Liam pushes.
