Give and Receive ((Zarry))

Chapter 19

Zayn's POV:

Harry walks over to where Charlie is sitting on the couch and I can't help but smile. I just know that Harry will charm him in no time, I mean; look what he did to me. I see Louis standing awkwardly in the corner and inwardly flinch at the purple finger shaped bruises starting to appear around his neck. I can't believe I lost control that way, especially in front of Harry. 

From the look on Louis face though, he was expecting it. I think he was trying to make me snap. Otherwise he wouldn't have "apologized" so publicly.

That little shit.

I find myself walkingin his direction, coming to stand just a few feet away from him. His head snaps up at my approach, and his eyes are filled with some un identifiable emotion. Respect maybe? But why?

"Y-yes?" He asks, voice quivering and hands fidgeting.

"You knew I would snap like that. Why did you egg me on?" I sound much more blunt and confident than I usually am, is this what having no secrets feels like? I'm not sure I like it.

"I had to make sure that you weren't ever going to hurt Harry, no matter how mad you were." He states with a shrug, avoiding my eyes.

"Why would I ever hurt him?" I continue my interrigation. There has to be another reason.

"Most people. Scratch that. All people who work for Boss and leave alive have some type of flaw. We're all broken. Messed up in some hideous way. I just wanted to make sure your scars we'ren't too deep. Er... No pun intended." He says, a steely conviction in his eyes. Well I wonder how he would react when he's angry. But now's not the time obviously. So I decide to keep this blunt facade on.

"What's yours?" I cross my arms and raise and eyebrows as his face morphs into a worried expression.

"M-my W-what?" He stammers, his eyes darting everywhere to avoid my hopefully grilling gaze.

"Your scar. Your flaw. Your broken piece. You said everyone has one." I answer, steeling myself just in case his flaw is something like a missing limb.

"Multiple Personality Disorder" His answer is so curt and unexpected it catches me off gard completely.

What the hell does that mean? 

"What do you mean?" I ask, some what warily.

"It means that if I get mad enough a switch is flipped in my brain. When the switch flips it's goodbye Louis, Hello to violent, psychotic, masochistic Ash." He spits and only then I notice his clenched fists and strained breathing.

Shit, I really don't want to piss him off now.

"Hey dude, relax. Just try to count to ten, that usually works for me" I try to calm him down before Harry notices and gets even more upset. He needs to be warned about Louis, but not this way.

"How would you know?" He snaps, then curiosity quickly replaces any sign of anger. "Do you have a flip personality too?" He leans slightly foreward and I resist the urge to roll my eyes.

Geez he really does have a Personality Disorder.

"No but I get anger, and I've been know to sort of... black out and hurt people. That's probably what got me so ahead with Boss, my ability to not remember every time I hurt someone." I begin to explain before I catch sight of my curly haired angel walking towards us. "Shhh... Harry's coming over now, pretend to be talking about... I don't know rainbows." I rush my words, no need to freak Harry out after all that's happened.

"Sweetheart I already told you I'm not gay, but if you insist. Ahem.. Omg! Did you see those Bedazzeled Jeans at 5ever 21 yesterday? They were sooo fabulous!" He switches to the most steriotypical and annoying gay imitation I've ever heard. I'll get him back later. 

I feel Harry come up behind me, placing his lips next to my ear. 

"Hey Charlie and my Mum are going to take a nap. Poor kid. Anyways, finish up your conversation with Louis then meet me back in your-- um, our room." He purrs and a shiver runs down my back. Who knew innocent little Harry could be so seductive.

He starts to walk away then turns back to Louis.  "And it's 4ever 21 by the way. And I prefer Hot Topic." I smirk as he sashays away.

So sassy...

This boy will be the death of me.
