Mastrophobia (BoyxBoy)

Chapter Nine

Justin

With my head buried deep into the freshly clean pillows of the 4 star hotel we were staying at, I could hear the door knob jingle around as someone unlocked the door.

I knew it was Zayn, not expecting any uninvited guests.

"Shh, he might be asleep..." Zayn's voice hushed out as the door opened.

While the shuffling of more than one pair of feet sounded, I decided it would be best to just pretend I was asleep, to avoid any awkward conversations.

For all I know, Zayn could have brought a girl back to our room, despite the whole 'no girls in your room' rule.

Majority of the team were underage, some of us only fresh on the legal limit to drink in Australia, some of us old enough to be legal in America too.

So, coach decided to be fair to all of us and ban girls. He made it clear in our travel booklet that 'Impregnating locals or other tourist is most definitely NOT allowed'.

"Justin? You awake?" Zayn asked softly, not wanting to purposely wake me.

I didnt move a muscle, its not like I had in the last hour anyway.

After getting back earlier, I sulked for a while, listened to some emotionally haunting music, before ultimately lying with my face down, replaying Liam's words over and over.

"He asleep?" Speaking of the devil. Liam.

"Ya," Zayn hummed, "Come in, but keep quiet."

The sound of feet shuffling again, before the door shut, sounded.

I was tempted to "wake up" already, my curiosity itching annoyingly at my skin.

"How'd you score it?" Liam murmured, a little louder than before.

"Shh, can we not wake Justin?" Zayn hissed, causing me to roll my eyes despite them being closed.

"He's a heavy sleeper. I've bunked with him before." Liam snorted, "Used to make a bet with the others that I could play jenga on his back without waking him."

He what? What a lie... Im not a heavy sleeper... I doubt it.

"For real?" Zayn chuckled.

I could hear them plop themselves on Zayn's bed.

"Yup, got a video if ya wanna see it. We were gonna show Justin on our last night as a surprise. Unlikely to happen now that he hates us." Liam sighed.

"Maybe later... and I'm sure this hate shit wont last." Zayn replied.

"So, this weed?" Liam cleared his throat.

I furrowed my brows. Drugs?

Not that I'm innocent, shit, I've smoked once before...

"I know a few people from playing games online with them. They hooked me up while we were shopping." Zayn chuckled.

"Nice. You're a total nerd." Liam laughed in response.
