Chapter 8 – “Since when does James talk to superheros?”

Zayn Pov.

“ZAYN FUCKING MALIK OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW” I heard the yells and knocks. I groaned slowly getting up. I trudged myself to the front door, glaring at whoever was yelling at me.

“What the hell do you want” I said opening the door. I opened my eyes to see who the person was and it was Koby.

“You better not of done anything to my sister” He asked walking into my house and sitting down and I shook my head at him now looking down on him.

“She’s still asleep” I said in a bored tone.

“Where is she?”

“In my room” I said and he tensed up. He looked up at me with a pained expression on his face and I want to question him about it, but I left it.

“Nothing happened right? You just slept” He asked and I nodded.

“Of course” I said.

“Thank you for taking care of her” He said getting up.

“Why did you look so pained when I said she was in my room?” I asked and he froze.

“That isn’t my position to tell you” He said. “When she wakes up, tell her to call me” he added on before walking out of my house. I stood there speechless. His answer wasn't what I was expecting. I was expecting him to blow up in my face yet he stayed calm and just told me that he couldn’t say anything. If it wasn’t his spot to tell then I knew it had something to do with April.

I walked back into my room, still tired and shocked. April was still fast asleep, so I slid back into bed next to her and fell back asleep.

April Pov

I walked into the familiar Kitchen from a couple of nights ago. I had some of the Panadol I always kept in my bag. I didn't feel horrible but I still took them.

“Your brother wants you to call him” Zayn said from inside the fridge. I looked at the clock seeing that It was noon. I nodded at Zayn before walking back towards his room to get my stuff. I picked up my phone before dialling Koby’s number.

“April” Koby breathed.

“What’s happening?” I asked him.

“Nothing, but you are okay yeah?” He asked me.

“Yeah why?”

“I just had a bad dream again” Koby said and I shook my head. Koby had these really bad dreams and he told me that they were about me, about events in our life.

“Koby, I will talk to you later about it alright?” I asked.

“No” He said. “Im fine, I don't need you protecting me”

“Im just trying to help” I said frustrated.

“Well stop trying to help” He snapped at me harshly.

“What’s gotten into you? Because you are nowhere near the brother that I love and respect. You’ve been acting up lately and im sick of it. So when you want to stop acting like a child, then you can come talk to me” I snapped before hanging up. My phone got a call straight away and I ignored it, placing my phone on silent.

“You alright?” Zayn asked as I ran a hand through my hair. I gathered all of my hair and placed it into a bun, placing the black hair band around it.

“Fine” I said. “Im going home, thank you for taking care of me last night” I said and he nodded.

“Do you want me to take you?” He asked and I shook my head.
