Zayn's POV

"Niall where are you going? i thought we were supposed to wait"  Liam said sounding amused that Niall had given up on being so sure of himself so quickly. Niall just poked his tounge out at him and continued to move around the table and head towards the bathroom. "Well, they have been in there for a while... you don't think they're..-" I didn't finish my sentence and got cut of by Liam screwing up his face "Euurgh I REALLY don't want to think about that Zayn". I shrugged and looked over to the retreating Niall "Well you never know with those two" i said looking down at the table and casually picking at the edge of the table. I moved to Niall's seat next to Liam and fiddled with the Menu. Liam stayed silent, seeming to be pondering the possibilities of what's going on in there. I know how much he'd like to barge in there and force them to sort out their problems face to face but Niall and I made a deal that we wouldn't let Liam be Daddy Direction on his birthday, that we would be the ones who looked after him, especially since he said all those things to Harry. I had no idea he felt like that, which i guess kind of brings us back to the fact he doesn't let his feelings show often enough. I for one, would be perfectly fine if Liam wanted to be selfish for a day, he's always doing things for us without asking for anything in return. Even when we try to pay him back he just turns us away and puts on that signiture smile that says "everything's fine'' even though you always get a gut feeling that everything might not be fine.

Which brings me back to Louis.

I know i'm the only one he's told about everything that's been going on and no matter how many times i try to help him he just gets all defensive and acts like i don't know anything about the situation. Even if he does manage to sort things out with Harry it still doesn't mean it'll all be better. We still have that ass Marcus to worry about. What's his problem anyway? I mean i know what Louis did was pretty bad, but he wouldn't have needed to do it if Marcus hadn't tried to rape him and kill his girlfriend. Just thinking about it made me clench the table until my knuckles went white. If i ever meet that guy, he's gonna get a mouthful of my fist. I trust Louis, and normally i trust his desicions too. Believe it or not, he's actually quite sensible in deciding the right thing to do when it comes to serious problems. But not with this. His brain's being suffocated by the thoughts of Harry getting hurt in this situation and he's not thinking straight because of it. All he wants to do is protect him but he hasn't been given any time to prepare a way to do it. These past few months have been hell for him. No wait, scratch that. The past two years more like it. Marcus has had his thugs follow Louis around, watch him from a distance, keep an eye on him and everyone who has anything to do with him, and Louis knew the whole time. That's enough to drive a person insane, and i'm afriad that's exactly what's happening to Louis. He doesn't think anymore. He just does. No matter what the consequences are, no matter who he hurts in the process, his only goal is to protect Harry, but i don't even think he knows about how much he's been hurting him.

"Hey Boys" I was startled by Louis' voice, still expecting him to be with Harry. I looked up and saw he was alone. Liam shared my confused expression and we glanced at eachother before turning out attention back to Louis. He looked between both of us, smiling. But the smile was distant. Like it wasn't even meant to be a smile, more like a cerial killer's "You're next" face. He sat down at his spot next to Liam "So what have you two been talking about?" he said in a honeyed manner. Liam stared at him for a second before realizing Lou's eyes had fallen on him so he spoke tautly "I- errm.. Nothing really, Niall went to check on you... is... everything.. okay?" Liam shook out sounding nervous. Louis chuckled through his nose, not opening his mouth "Well i don't think Harry's very happy at all and to be honest i think Nialler's afraid of me now" he said, like he didn't even care what we thought. His voice was airy and warbly, he didn't even look at us when he spoke. His eyes were wide, staring at the table, muttering something under his breath with an insanely creepy smile plastered on his face. "W-what?" Liam said hesitantly, looking as though he didn't really want an answer. Louis let out a sudden quick burst of laughter, which was over in less than a few seconds. "He hates me, i know he does" he muttered smiling coldly, His eyes still pinned to that same spot on the table. Suddenly his head shot up to look at me "And i have to get you to hate me too, all of you" his voice sounding silvery. I couldn't speak, it's like i was frozen by the way he was staring at me, not even bothered about my response. His eyes are what scared me the most. They're dark, his pupils had completely overshadowed his iris', there was no sign of blue, no sparke of colour. They're just, Dead. I felt a buzz in my pocket and i took out my phone and opened the message.
