Creatures Lurking in The Dark (Ziall AU)

Happy Ever After? I Don't Think So!

ZAYN'S POV:

I listened to his 'Thanks' and got overly emotional. He seemed so innocent, like he didn't have the ability to kill on a dime's notice. I smiled at him and a small smile shaped his lips. Maybe someday he could be okay and partially normal. Maybe someday my fairytale would come true. I had accepted the fact that I liked him, but I also knew I couldn't do anything about it. He was too different and I was too afraid of the outcome. We wouldn't ever fit. We were like fire and ice. They repel eachother.

I pulled my large body back and looked into his tortured eyes. Baby blue and never faltering. I smiled lightly and planted a small kiss on his forehead without thinking. I pulled back shocked and I could tell that he was just as worried. What had I done? Neither of us could handle even a simple friendship and I had just done that? I quickly darted up the stairs and to my room. I was such an idiot.

I pulled out my phone and found Lou's name. Maybe he could help me somehow. I started to type out a small message on the screen.

To: Lou

From: Zayn

MSG: Help me! There is this whole background story, but pretty much I just kissed someone I shouldn't have! What do I do?

I sat silently as I tried to plan what to do. Knowing Lou he really wouldn't help and make some perverted comment, but I had to try. Maybe Haz would have been a better person to text or Liam would have, but Lou was the worst. My suspicion was confirmed by his response.

To: Zayn

From: Lou

MSG: Oh really!?! Is the girl pretty? Can I meet her? Are you destined to be together?

I groaned at his response, but decided to answer anyways.

To: Lou

From: Zayn

MSG: Niall is gorgeous, no you can't meet him for a while at least, and no we are more likely prohibited than destined.

I didn't realize that I had said him, but by the time I did notice it was to late. The message was sent and Lou could read it. I could only hope that he wouldn't pick up on it or expect it to have been a typo. My luck was cut off and now in Kansas by the looks of it though.

To: Zayn

From: Lou

MSG: Wait! Did you mean him?

To: Lou

From: Zayn

MSG: I am going to text the others. You didn't get the point.

After I sent that I put my phone away. I could text later, but I was exhausted and all I wanted was to sleep.

NIALL'S POV:

His soft lips hit my forehead and surprise covered my body. When he pulled back it only took him seconds to leave. I wanted to run after him, but I knew he was embarrassed, plus I hadn't left the basement in years and I had no idea what it was like. I refused to even set a foot on the step and I wasn't planning on starting than. I ran my hand through my hair and thought about what had happened only seconds ago. Why was he so embarrassed?

I walked over to my small bed and rested my back against it. My head sunk into the rotting pillow and before I knew it, my eyes were fluttering shut and my small snores were filling the room around me. I knew I needed to talk to Zayn, but he was going to have to come down. I would give him three days and if he never showed up than I would go up the dreaded stairs.

I let my mind take over as dreams rushed into my head. I used to have a girlfriend that loved me. Why did I have to lose everything? I was now alone except from Zayn and I was pretty sure he wasn't even there anymore. I actually liked the feeling of his lips against my head. Why did he recoil and react so badly? Did I not do something that I was supposed to?
