Convincing

I was in utter shock. I didn't even process it through my mind until everyone left the room! I was left frozen in my seat, pondering my mind. I ran my hand through my hair in frustration and confusion. Why me? I am certainly not good with people. If only he knew the incident that happened with that kid! I sighed. I had to talk to Zayn. I couldn't go though with this!

I got off my seat and left the silent room. My heart was thudding rapidly, I had to convince him that it really wasn't a good idea for me to go. Liam should have got the job! He has a soft voice that always seems to calm people. I mean really? Me? What the fuck? It doesn't even make any fucking sense. I mean if I can't control my swearing and utter rampaging in my head, how am I supposed to do it out of my head?!
I took a deep breath. I had to find Zayn!

I walked through all the halls and all the rooms until I went to the study. Zayn was at the computer researching religions cultures or something for his role. I hope I don't have to do that! I coughed awkwardly hoping to get his attention, but failed.
"Zayn?" I asked awkwardly.
"Hmm?" He asked concentrating on the screen. "Oh, Harry! I wanted to talk to you!"
"So did I, but to you! If I was talking to myself then I would be crazy. But I know I'm crazy, therefore I am not crazy! Isn't that..uhh....crazy!?" I nervously chuckled at the end. Why the fuck can't I be normal!
" Right!" He said nodding his head slowly " Harry you have a lot of studying to do for this assignment"
"That's what I came here to talk to you about." I started. " I'm not sure if you were high when you thought of me to take the job but it certainly wasn't a good idea!" I laughed a little at the end.
"No no. I picked you for a reason Harry. Firstly, you're not as busy as the others. Secondly, it will be a change for you! Get you back in the game. You're trailing off of your duty Harry. You need some inspiration."
"But I-"
"That doesn't include watching every single James Bond in order!"
I sighed. He has a point.
Zayn walked up to face me and put his hand on my shoulder.
" This will be good for you Harry. You just got to take the chance."
I nodded my head knowing I'm not going to win.
" here take these." He said giving me a few sheets of paper. " these are the best websites for studying communication."
I took the pile of papers in my hands nervously. There was so many!
"Right Harry, you better get started!"

I went to my room and went to me old desk. My room wasn't like a superheroes room. It was more like a teenagers room. I had posters of Green day, The killers and The stranglers. Although my room wasn't dark. Not at all really! I had a wall of window looking over the sea. Our base was in a mountain in Hawaii some where. Zayn never told us why or where though.
My old desk was from when I was younger, I had markings on it from when I would stutter. I would always pray to God to take away my stuttering. That's when I prayed, 'if you do that for me I'll do something for you in return.' That's when he took away my stutter and I became a hero.
Now I hate talking to people. It's one of my week spots. My stuttering pulled down my self-esteem so much it still has an effect on me. I never really had many friends when I was younger. It was hard for me. My mum was ill, I couldn't talk properly, and my father cheated on my mum and left us for another women. It upset my mum quite a bit. I wasn't bothered really, in fact if anything I was glad! He never spent time with us and when he did he would beat my mum senseless from being drunk or waisted. He was a drug addict and smoked.

He didn't love us, he used us.

I shook my head to get the thoughts out and searched the links on my laptop. I was up all night studying and getting ready for Sunday. The more I studied for it, the more nervous I become!
Lord help me!
