Hybrids {Narry & Ziam AU}

Chapter 9

Niall's POV

"So Niall, how about I ask those questions?" Harry said casually.

"Uh, sure," I say looking to the floor of the bakery.

I didn't really want to answer anything about myself. I knew he didn't like me now so I don't think finding more out about me will help.

"Do y-" He began to ask.

"Harry?" His supervisor Ms.Brown came out of the office again.

I haven't liked her any apart from now. Her interruption saved me from answering questions.

"Yes?" Harry sighed.

He looked irritated. I smirked as he rolled his eyes at me.

"Nobody has shown up and you've been here awhile. Why don't you clean up and go home?" She suggested to him.

"Alright," He got up and left me by myself.

I hate Ms.Brown. I know I don't really have a reason yet but I can feel extreme jealousy whenever she enters the room.

I know it must be the fact that she stares at Harry everytime she comes out of that door.

I don't understand how I could possibly be jealous but it's happening.

I wonder if Harry has these strange feelings about me? I find happiness in thinking he cares about me.

I'm smiling to myself when he makes his way back over to me.

"Let's go," He says.

I get up and follow him out the door.

"I will only ask one question for now," Harry says to me as we walk.

"Okay," I sigh.

I'm really beginning to regret agreeing to this.

"Are you going to tell the others about you and Zayn?" He asks.

"How did you know Zayn was a hybrid?" I ask confused.

"I didn't," He smirks.

"You're an ass," I say, trying not to smile. I fail. He laughs.

"I don't really want to tell the others about the two of us," I continue, "but I won't make you lie to your friends either."

He nods, looking thoughtful.

"Now I have a question for you," I say.

I really need to know.

"Why are you so scared of me?" I ask him.

He stiffened.

"I-I don't feel comfortable answering this," He says, turning to look in the opposite direction of me.

I heard him sniffle after a few minutes. Is he crying?

"Harry?" I asked him softly.

He shakes his head no, avoiding me.

"Harry stop."

I stop walking and he looks up at me.

His eyes are red and a tear is trailing down his cheek.

"Oh Harry! I'm sorry! What did I do?" I panic.

I move in to hug him. As I hold his taller frame to mine he stays still.

"Harry?" I ask. I feel like crying myself. He won't respond to me.

"Let's just go Niall," He pulls away from me and continues walking.

I follow him in silence.

What did I do wrong?

Harry's POV

I wiped away my tears.

I didn't mean to cry in front of Niall. He must think I'm a wimp for sure now.

The thought of my parents and sister always brings me to tears. I couldn't help it.

We finally made it to the apartment. I needed some time alone.

I went to my room, shutting the door behind me. I didn't greet Louis or Liam which I only felt slightly guilty about. Zayn hadn't been in the room at all.

I hope people will realize a closed door means I want to be left alone.

I flop onto my bed and let myself cry into my pillow. I don't know why I never got over the loss of my family. It was so long ago.

I looked over to the picture I managed to keep of my family. It had been taken before the incident.

I sobbed harder as I grabbed the picture and hugged it to my chest.

I don't know how long I cried for.

I fell asleep with the image of my dead family burned in my mind.

------------

I was eight.

I was hiding in the basement like usual. The hybrids come out at night so when it was dark I would be here.

I don't know why my parents and sister Gemma wouldn't come with me. They would be safe in case the hybrids ever attacked if they did.

When I was seven I began staying down here. The people across the street had been killed by a gang of hybrids so it made sense to hide.

I was nearly asleep when I heard movement upstairs.

A loud bang went off.

It was silent until I heard I high pitched scream. It wasn't just any scream. It was my sister's.

Not knowing what else to do, I ran upstairs.

There they were. Hybrids.

I watched from behind a wall as the two hybrids slaughtered my family.

Blood splattered the walls as they tore at my sister's skin. My parents were already unrecognizable as they laid dead on the floor. There was so much blood.

I gasped as I felt something touch me from behind.

I turned around and saw Niall, grinning. His eyes were slitted and shining.

He pulled out his clawed hand and looked me right in the eyes.

"Bye Harry," He growled as he raised his hand to dig his claws into my chest.

I screamed.
