Zayn

"I know this might sound cliché." "But are you a vampire?" Niall said. My eyes opened wide and I gulped looking around.

"Why are you asking?" I stuttered.

"I don't know. You look kind of like one. Like the way that your eyes glow in the middle of the night reminds me of a vampire." He sighed falling back on the grass looking around as the light shines on his face. I was nervous for some reason. What if he'd gets scared or something. I just want to be his friend. I get up and walk off and turned on my phone seeing that school ended about just an hour ago, without me noticing.

"If you'd like to know more about me, come to my house. 19874 140th avenue." I started. "I'd appreciate it if you can stay late at my household."

"Oh like a sleepover. I'll come right away then." Niall smiled heading back to his home bidding goodbye. I sighed and stood there for a minute while Harry appeared behind me. I groaned running my fingers through my hair.

"Haz. He has a sharp eye." I said.

"So. Would it really matter? You do want to be his friend? Don't you. Friends tell each other everything." Harry began folding his arms.

"Exactly! I want to be his friend. But what happens if he starts to despise me even more or not trust me anymore!" I growled.

"Well, he's unworthy." He continued. I closed my eyes for a bit and made my way back to my house with Harry.

I sat in my office. I still don't understand why I have this whole place to only myself and some butlers and maids, makes me think of just moving out and just live on the street. I doodled on a paper and yawned. Harry came in, well stormed in stepping up to my desk.

"You've gone to hunt?" I asked still doodling on the paper.

"How did you notice?" He smirked.

"Your jacket is red." I started. "It was white earlier." I added. Harry laughed hysterically and stood beside me looking at me plotting down the drawings. The butler knocked on the door as soon as he did.

"Come in!" Harry exclaimed. The butler opened the door and stood at his place.

"Mr. Niall Tomlinson is here to see you, Mr. Malik." He stated before bowing. I stood from my desk and walked with the butler to the front door. Niall proudly stood there with his books and a bag.

"Nice house you got here." He smirked entering.

"Please remove your shoes before entering." I advised.

"I knew that of course!" He admitted laughing mid sentence. I led him to my office. Niall looked around the house strangely.

"Is there something wrong?" I asked politely.

"No, this house just reminds me of my old family's. Well before they all died and stuff." He muttered. My opened feeling shocked.

"Well I'm sorry to hear about your deceased members.." I replied sympathetically. He gave me a light smile and continued on. We got to my office and Harry was sitting in the chair across from mine meddling with the things on my desk. I coughed and he looked over to me. As soon as he saw Niall he grinned. He stood up and shook Niall's hand and walked out like the 'polite' vampire he is.

"So, who's that?" Niall asked.

"Just my close friend." I laughed.

"Wasn't his coat white when he was at school?" He said in confusement.

"Washing machine problems." I lied smiling and taking a seat. I put my work away into my drawer. Niall just sat there looking at all the knickknacks I had around the room and admiring the paintings and art on the wall.

"Well. Would you want something to eat?" I questioned. He nodded giving me his undevided attention and I escorted him to the kitchen.

"Fred is there anything such as a snack for Mr. Tomlinson." I spoke.

"There are bags of crisps. Dinner is being prepared soon though, do you still wish to have it?" He told having that stupid emotionless face of his.

"Great. Niall you may go to the dining area, wait for me there." I told staying in the kitchen waiting for Niall to leave. As he left Harry came in and grabbed the butler by his collar and stared him in the eye.

"Don't you dare give the master of the house that stupid look of yours you scum." He threatened. I sighed heavily rubbing my temples.

"Let him serve the dinner, after you may do whatever you wish with him." I commanded walking into the dinner room. Harry let the butler be and pouted meaning he was mad that I didn't let him do what he wanted. I rolled my eyes and sat myself across Niall.

--

Dinner was fairly well, even though I didn't eat anything. The good excuse of 'I ate before you came' was used so he wouldn't think I'm not treating myself right. We sat at my office once we were done and of course I let him touch my working shelves because I am nice, unlike other people.

"Whoa! Zayn, you have files about the Payne family?" He exclaimed. "Are you a stalker or something? Cause this is weird-- Wait you even have my family?"

"Yes. I like to know people before meeting them so I know they aren't someone to be feared." I lied. Niall's eyes widened and returned to my desk and looked me in the eye.

"Say if you do that kind of things can you possibly find my actual family? I'm sure you know much about me already." He asked.

"I can't do that I'm sorry." I admitted.

"Why? You have all these families that you did! What's wrong with my actual one." He spoke up.

"There are things I musn't tell you Mr. Horan!" I yelled. His eyebrows furrowed and a tear went down his face.

"Who is Mr.Horan?"
