(ON HOLD) - The Black Note ( A Harry Styles and Zayn Malik AU)

I Smell Something Fishy

*Niall’s POV*

Harry and I just finished fishing. We have caught about enough for our group of nine. Right now, we just came out of the kitchen, where the chef is already cooking the fishes, and we are now in the bar area grabbing drinks for us and putting them into a cooler filled with ice.

“So, how long have you and Charlie been friends for?” Harry placed the last drink into the cooler.

“Oh, we’ve been friends ever since the first grade. She actually fought my bullies away from me. I never thought that a little girl could be that…feisty. She’s still her old self up until now, well aside from the fact that her personality and looks became mature even though she still acts like a little kid sometimes.” Harry’s chuckle brought me back to reality and caused me to turn to him. Harry was laughing and shaking his head. He looked at me and realized that I was giving him a questioning look.

“Mate, you’re in love with her”

“N..no...No I’m not” I stuttered looking away from him.

He raised his eyebrows at me before speaking. “Whatever, just know that she’s in love with me” He finished off by sending me a smirk.

“No, she’s not”

“Well, remember what happened in the party yesterday? She liked it.”

“Whatever, Styles.” I rolled my eyes at him before bending down and grabbing a piece of ice in the cooler. Harry gave me a questioning look. I just smirked and threw the ice at him.

His mouth dropped before it quickly turned into a smirk. “You’re going to get it, Horan”

While Harry was bending down to get ice, I grabbed about five pieces then quickly dashed to the upper deck.

*Charlie’s POV*

*flashback* (A/N these flashbacks are from Chapter 5)

"HELP! SOMEONE PLEASE, HELP ME!!" I started to cry hysterically. "LET ME GO! PLE-MMMMM!" My screams turned muffled as "Idiot" covered my mouth with his hand. "She said let go" The voice was dark and filled with authority. The guys turned their heads to the mystery guy and quickly let me go. I tucked myself into a ball on the ground and let out strangled sobs."We're sorry. We just did as Harry told us. We-." They stood up and stated quickly. "Stop! Stop talking and get out of here!" The dark voice shouted. I heard footsteps coming towards me "Are you okay?" I looked up shocked to see Zayn Malik staring at me. "Thank yo-u so mu-ch, Za-yn. I-I don't know wha-what'll hap-pen if yo-u did'nt co-me" I struggled to talk as choked on my words. "You don't need to say anything. I'm not interested in other people’s life." And just like that, he started to walk away towards the front door. 

……

"What are you doing here? I thought you said that you're "not interested in other peoples lives" He ignored what I said and dug his hand into his pocket. He stretched his handkerchief out to me. "Here" I took it and wiped my face. "Thanks..." I mumbled quietly. He sat down beside me. "They say that person is at their weakest when they are crying, but I think crying is normal. It's just how we express our emotions" I stared at him while he just stared at the doors of the school. "It's like when we laugh, we express happiness. If laughing is normal, I don't see why crying isn't" After that, we were greeted by silence; a comfortable one. "Come on" Zayn suddenly pulled me up to me feet. "What are you doing?"I stared at him in shock and confusion. "You’re not with your friend, Niall. So, that means you’re planning on walking home, alone. I can't let you do that; those jerks might come back for you"
