The Demons Inside. [ZM AU]

Ch: 25 || Kiss & Make Up.

[Max]

"Hello friends." I stressed the word 'friends' while I was on the phone to my two ex friends, who should be very scared of me right now. If only they knew what I've turned into. Zayn would bow down to me like Nathan would immediately do, because he's nothing but a coward. Even if I've changed... no-body else will.

"What? So we're still buddies are we?! And are we going to ignore the fact you plan to kill me and the girl I love?!" Zayn is just so straight to the point, it's stressful for me. It pushes me down and breaks a par of my confidence levels. Damn you!

"How dare you accuse me of something so vile and cruel? Why would I ever consider doing that to you both? You are my leader, and Sophia is like a younger sister to me!" I was lying through my teeth, but hopefully he wouldn't notice.

"Idiot. Do you think I'm stupid? I can see through all your lies like you're transparent, alright? Jeez. Tell the truth for once! You plan to kill us. What the hell man-what did we do to you?!-"

"-what didn't you do to me, is the question! You stole my spotlight and my chance to be with tough people. I could've gone with Niall, damn it, but you're so overprotective it was like I was being suffocated while being in that stupid gang! I hate you guys. Yeah, you heard me! I hate you both! You're so boring and you're becoming soft. At least with Niall, he would kill anyone without feeling sorrow. If you guys step on a ant you'd cry for ages!"

"Don't you think it matters if their good people or bad-"

"-but Niall killed everyone! Innocent and guilty, that's what I'm trying to say!" I groaned, yeah maybe he is quite stupid.

"You're not at all like Niall Horan, and you never will be. You're better then him, Max. You've got a good heart." it was now I heard Nathan's timid voice perk up and I smirked.

"How are you Nathan? How is Nikki? Still rotting in jail?" I know exactly how to irritate everyone because as they were my old friends, I know everything about them. That's what makes me the greatest villain. Niall hardly knew anything, so he had to start from scratch to gain people's trust. For example, Nikki and Sophia. Me? I didn't. I have everyone wrapped around my pinkie finger.

"I'm good, and she's probably good." he bluntly replied which surprised me as I expected an outburst. What's going on? Why isn't my plan working?!

"So when do you plan on killing us, so I can at least prepare in advance? I mean dude, I was going to ask her to be my girlfriend finally before you called, so damn you." Zayn grumbled in a sarcastic way causing me to chuckle then shut up. I shouldn't be laughing. I'm their enemy now. We're not friends anymore, why can't that stick into my head? It was my decision to break away from them-I decided it would be best for me to make new friends; allies.

"I wouldn't tell you that now would I? Seriously? I would've actually excepted a Mrs Malik already, seeing the way that you always are around her! Pussy whipped!" I was now smiling at the thought of them both so I immediately slapped myself to wipe it off. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to call. They're bringing a good side of me out...

"Ha, ha. So funny. At least I don't turn on my friends..."

Silence now as his words sink in. I felt a flicker of guilt rise up from my stomach but I managed to spit it out quickly before hissing, "watch your back Malik. I'm after you."

Then I hung up before I'd say something like I regret like 'I miss you guys'. because that was kinda the truth.
