chapter twenty

Harry

I internally groan at the sight of him. It was like I just couldn't have a good time or any time to clear my mind of him. He keeps showing up, everywhere. How did he even know we'd be here at the tower? Or even on the roof for that matter? That's the question I kept asking myself after I found out he was the one who was in fact following me.

I was so tired of him coming in and messing with my head, confusing me with his actions and hurting me with his words. I just wanted a break from him. Another long break. He'd already left for two years, what's a little more gonna do? It would definitely help me just forget about him. Why couldn't I just forget about him? Why couldn't I hate him like he clearly hated me? I wanted to hate him, more than anything. I wanted to hurt him like he'd hurt me, show him what it felt like to have his heart stabbed over and over again.

Maybe then he would understand the pain he put me through. But, Zayn wasn't Zayn anymore. He was a completely different being. He had cruel intentions, he wanted to hurt people, destroy property and steal from people. He was no longer the hero he made himself out to be. He was a villain, a scum bag of the earth, and that I needed to treat him as. I was so tired of being thrown off and hurt by his presence. He wanted to be the villain, then that's what I should treat him as. No more holding back.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Liam asks, bitterly. Zayn's light blue eyes shifts over to Liam as he spoke, seeming to pulsate as his eyes land on him, almost as if the sight of him irritates him.

"What? Are you upset I messed up your plans with your precious little boyfriend?" Zayn hisses, his voice deep and sounded slightly metallic. I frowned at the sound of it, wondering why the sudden change in his voice. He didn't even sound real, but I didn't comment on it as I watched some of Zayn's side kicks walk up and stand beside him. I narrowed my eyes, making sure to stay on my guard in case anybody attacked. It's not even like Zayn needed helpers, he was obviously strong enough on his own.

"Sounds to me like someone is a little jealous." Liam spits back, and I could hear the smirk in his voice without actually looking to see him. Zayn's eyes flash, a very wide smirk following after. I tilt my head, slightly coming out of my fighting stance as I study his face. He chuckles lightly as he lifts his hand to run it through his hair, pushing it to the side. Taking a step forward, he slides one hand out of the pocket of his long black trench coat and motions towards me.

"That? Why would I be jealous of something I've already had?" Zayn asks with an evil smirk. "Seems to me you like having my leftovers Liam lad." He says. I internally gasp and I see Liam tense up as his muscles tighten up and I could tell Zayn had struck a nerve. It was his intention after all, to get underneath all of our skin and get us angry. Liam clenches his fists tightly, I walk up and place my hand on his shoulder in somewhat attempt to comfort him, but it doesn't seem to seize his anger.

"You don't wanna go there with me." Liam growls. Zayn narrows his eyes quizzically.

"Maybe I do Liam," He starts. "You seem to have something held against me, what could that be? Is it the fact that I had Harry first?" Zayn says, tilting his head towards Liam as he starts to pace back and forth. "Or maybe it was the fact that I was chosen first to be the leader of this team when I was apart of it? Or maybe even how I was first to be named this town's hero of the year?" Zayn says and as he talks I can see the anger in Liam bubbling more and more with every word Zayn speaks. "Aren't you sick of being every one's second choice Liam? I mean, I know I would. I'd also be pissed if my boyfriend was still very much so in love with his crazy ex and couldn't give not a third of a fuck if your relationship works out or not." Then he laughs and smiles mischievously at Liam, "He may be kissing you Liam, but he's thinking of me." Zayn says with fury in his voice, but the sly smirk still prominent on his face as he eyes Liam.

I was frozen in my place with shock, my eyes wide while Liam shook in anger. I drop my hand from his shoulder not knowing what to do or even say.

"You fucking bastard." Liam growls.

"Oh, did I strike a nerve?" Zayn smiles widely looking just as insane as the Joker does when he smiles. Zayn's eyes darken into a stormy blue shade suddenly and his pupils dilate strangely as if he'd changed somehow. "If you wanna hit me Liam, come and do it." Zayn says, sounding more of a robot than anything and I couldn't help but feel like something wasn't right with him.

"I'm gonna do more than hit you. I'm gonna fucking destroy you." Liam hisses. Before I could stop him, he starts to charge directly at Zayn. But I didn't know, something just didn't seem right with Zayn. This all seemed sketchy. Zayn smirks darkly before lighting a fire in his hands.

"You die first then." Zayn says, before he lunges at Liam. Instead of standing here and watching, I start to intervene but instead I am side tracked by Zayn's annoying little side kicks who decide to target me. First I get yanked backwards from behind as I watch Liam and Zayn collide forcefully, making the whole roof shake violently. Both of them possessed the super strength ability so they were practically equally massed. Although Zayn didn't always have to use his super strength because he usually fought from a distance, he was still pretty good with his strength. I just hoped Liam could take him alone until I could get rid of these others.

Just as I even began to fight them off, I feel a sharp prick in my arm. Hissing slightly, I mule kick the person away from me and each around yanking what appears to be a syringe. I frown, eyeing the object wondering what the hell he injected me with, but I soon find out as my body starts to become extremely weakly. I drop the syringe as I fall to my knees when my legs give. Next my arms start to numb as well as the rest of my body and I fall down, flat on my face. I internally start to panic as I realize that I am completely immobile. What the hell was in that syringe?

One of the men kneel down next to me, smirking. "Paralyzing venom lent to us by a very close friend. You're gonna be down for a while buddy."

Then another comes up and touches my hair. I have the urge to jerk away from him, but I can't feel anything and I couldn't move. I felt completely helpless. "But at least you'll get the watch the show. Don't worry, it'll be over soon once your friend's dead."

I ignored them as they continued to talk, shifting my eyes back over to Liam an Zayn. Half the roof top of the tower was destroyed and broken into bits, some spots were set on fire and others just in very bad shape. I watched them fight, Liam dodging Zayn's blows as swiftly as he could while Zayn didn't even let Liam close enough to do any damage. Liam was struggling to get any type of advantage over Zayn as Zayn avoided him as much as he possibly could. I could tell how frustrated Liam was becoming, losing focus on any strategy and simply started to focus on just hitting the target.

Suddenly, Zayn builds up a beam of fire in his fist and propels a spiral like blaze of fire at Liam. It travels so much quicker than any of his other moves and before I know it, Liam's being send slamming straight into the ground with harsh impact, I could feel the vibrations of him hitting the ground. I gasp as I watch helplessly unable to talk and unable to move. I wanted to scream and call out to Liam, but I couldn't. And I surely couldn't reach for my communicator and call Louis and Niall for help. What was I gonna do? I couldn't sit here and watch Zayn completely dominate Liam. But my muscles betrayed me as they didn't budge at all no mater how bad I wanted them to.

We were in deep trouble if Niall and Louis didn't come soon.
